Siding built for sideways Oregon rain.
Douglas County winter storms don't drop rain — they throw it at your walls for months. Your siding is the raincoat, and when it fails, water gets into sheathing and framing where repairs get expensive quietly. We install and replace siding the same way we build roofs: weather barrier first, flashing done right, no shortcuts you can't see.
Warning Signs
Is your siding still keeping the water out?
- Warped, cracked, or cupping boards — moisture has been in and out of the material too many times
- Soft spots — press near seams and bottom edges; give means rot
- Paint that won't hold — peeling within a year or two usually means moisture pushing from behind
- Gaps at seams, corners, and windows — every one is a door for wind-driven rain
- Interior clues — bubbling paint, stains, or a musty smell on exterior walls
Storm-damaged siding may be an insurance matter — our Oregon storm damage claims guide explains how the process works.
Our Approach
What's behind the siding matters more than the siding.
Anyone can nail up new boards over a wet wall. We won't.
Inspect behind the old siding
As the old material comes off, we check sheathing and framing for moisture and rot — and photograph anything we find before it's covered again.
Fix rot now, not never
Soft sheathing gets replaced, not buried. You approve any repair with photos and a written price before we proceed.
Weather barrier & flashing
A proper weather-resistive barrier, taped seams, and flashing at every window, door, and roofline intersection — the details that keep sideways rain out for decades.
Siding, trim, walkthrough
New siding installed to manufacturer spec, trim and caulking finished clean, full photo documentation, and a walkthrough with you.
Whole Exterior
Roof and siding fail as a team. Fix them as one.
The roof-to-wall intersection is where most sneaky leaks live — kick-out flashing at sidewalls is actually required in Douglas County because so much water concentrates there. If your roof is due for replacement too, doing both in one project means the flashing between them is built as one system, not two contractors' guesswork. Round it out with gutters that actually drain, and a Home Care Membership keeps the whole exterior inspected every year.
Questions
Siding FAQs
What are the signs siding needs replacement?
Warped, cracked, or cupping boards; soft spots that give when pressed; paint that peels within a year or two; gaps at seams and corners; and interior clues like bubbling paint or a musty smell on exterior walls. Any of those means water may already be behind the siding — and the fix gets more expensive the longer it soaks.
What's the best siding for our wet climate?
Fiber cement is the standout for 30+ inches of annual rain: no rot, excellent moisture resistance, and paint that lasts. Quality vinyl is the budget-friendly runner-up; wood works if you're committed to upkeep. Whichever you choose, the weather barrier and flashing behind it matter as much as the siding itself.
Can you match my existing siding?
Often, yes — we match profile, reveal, and texture as closely as current products allow, then color-match the finish. Honest caveat: decade-old weathered siding never perfectly matches fresh material on day one. Paint helps close the gap, and full-wall replacement reads cleaner than a mid-wall patch. We'll show you both options before you commit.
Does new siding help insulation?
Yes, meaningfully — mostly from what goes on with it. Residing is the ideal moment to add a proper weather barrier, seal air leaks, and install insulated sheathing under the new siding. The siding itself adds modest R-value; the tightened-up wall behind it is where the winter comfort comes from. Pair it with our winter-readiness guide for the full-house picture.
