Our Services

Siding Installation

Fresh fiber cement siding installation in the Lettered Streets neighborhood protects against moisture and enhances curb appeal

New siding protects your home from water intrusion, improves energy efficiency, and increases curb appeal. We install fiber cement, vinyl, and engineered wood on single-family homes across Bellingham and Whatcom County.

Historic homes in Cornwall Park and South Hill benefit from durable, weather-resistant materials that maintain character while preventing rot.

Siding Repair & Rot Restoration

Cracks, warping, and moisture damage common in Bellingham homes are often early signs of rot. We identify the problem, remove damaged sections, treat the underlying substrate, and install repair patches or replacement boards.

Fairhaven's Victorian architecture and the dense tree cover of Edgemoor create high-moisture environments. Annual inspections catch problems before they worsen.

Wood & Engineered Wood Siding

Why Local Expertise Matters

Bellingham's Climate Demands Durability

Bellingham sits in a marine west coast climate with abundant rainfall. High humidity and salt air from the bay accelerate moisture damage, rot, and corrosion. We choose materials and installation methods engineered for these conditions.

Rain falls on 158 days per year in Bellingham. Every installation must keep water out.

Historic Architecture Requires Precision

Fairhaven's Victorian brick buildings (1885–1910) and South Hill's 1920s homes feature character details worth preserving. Siding repair on these homes requires matching profiles, respecting trim details, and maintaining architectural integrity.

We Know Local Building Rules

Homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint. We are LEAD-SAFE certified and comply with Washington State regulations. Permit requirements, HOA approvals, and local code compliance are handled correctly from start to finish.

Over 20 years of siding experience across Whatcom County. 500+ completed projects.
