Elite Home Exteriors NW is a local Clackamas OR siding contractor specializing in complete siding replacement, James Hardie® fiber cement siding, moisture management, flashing, and exterior rot repair.

If your siding is cracked, swollen, rotting, outdated, or allowing moisture behind your exterior walls, replacing the siding is an opportunity to do much more than improve your home’s appearance. A properly designed siding system helps protect the structure underneath from the wet Pacific Northwest climate.

As a James Hardie siding specialist, we focus on complete exterior siding projects rather than temporary cosmetic fixes. Our goal is to identify the cause of siding failure, address damaged materials underneath, improve the water-management system, and install a durable new exterior designed for long-term performance.

Siding Replacement in Clackamas OR

Siding replacement is about more than changing the exterior appearance of your home.

Your siding works together with the weather-resistant barrier, window and door flashing, trim, caulking, metal flashing, and drainage details underneath it. When one part of that system fails, moisture can reach areas of the structure homeowners cannot see.

Our Clackamas siding replacement projects may include:

Removal and disposal of existing siding
Inspection of the wall sheathing and structure
Repair of discovered dry rot and water damage
Installation of a new weather-resistant barrier
Drainable WRB systems when appropriate
Window and door membrane flashing
Z-metal flashing
Lap siding joint flashing
New siding and exterior trim
Exterior-rated sealants
Professional exterior painting
Final inspection and cleanup

James Hardie Siding Contractor in Clackamas OR

James Hardie® fiber cement siding is one of our primary recommendations for homeowners replacing aging or failing siding in Clackamas.

Fiber cement provides the appearance of traditional wood siding without many of the maintenance and deterioration concerns associated with natural wood products.

Elite Home Exteriors NW installs a wide selection of James Hardie products, including:

HardiePlank® Lap Siding

HardiePlank lap siding provides the classic horizontal siding appearance found on many Pacific Northwest homes. Cedarmill® provides a wood-grain appearance, while Smooth siding creates a cleaner and more contemporary exterior.

James Hardie Board & Batten Siding

Vertical siding and Board & Batten designs are increasingly popular for modern farmhouse, Craftsman, and contemporary exterior renovations.

Board & Batten can be installed throughout the exterior or used strategically on gables and architectural sections to create contrast.

HardieTrim® Boards

Proper exterior trim helps complete the siding system around windows, doors, corners, penetrations, and other architectural details.

We commonly install James Hardie trim alongside Hardie siding to create a durable and cohesive exterior.

James Hardie Architectural Collection

For homeowners looking for something different from traditional lap siding, select James Hardie Architectural Collection products can create modern textures and distinctive exterior designs.

Why James Hardie Siding Works Well for Clackamas Homes

Homes throughout Clackamas and the Portland metro experience long periods of rain, seasonal moisture, changing temperatures, and limited drying conditions.

Those conditions make proper siding selection and installation especially important.

James Hardie fiber cement siding offers several advantages:

Engineered for long-term exterior performance
Resistant to damage from moisture when properly installed
Noncombustible fiber cement construction
Resistant to woodpecker and insect damage
Available in numerous profiles and architectural styles
Lower maintenance than many traditional wood siding products
Strong manufacturer warranty options
Excellent compatibility with properly designed rainscreen and drainage systems

But even premium siding can perform poorly when installed incorrectly.

The installation system behind the siding matters just as much as the siding itself.

Signs Your Clackamas Home May Need New Siding

Some siding problems are obvious. Others develop slowly.

Watch for:

Swollen or deteriorating siding
Soft siding near the bottom of walls
Cracked siding
Loose siding
Peeling or bubbling exterior paint
Rotting window or door trim
Gaps around siding joints
Failed caulking
Water staining
Siding touching roofing or concrete
Missing flashing
Warped siding
Repeated areas requiring repair
Visible deterioration around windows and doors

One damaged board does not necessarily mean an entire home needs new siding.

However, widespread deterioration, repeated water intrusion, aging siding, or problems with the original installation can make complete siding replacement a better long-term solution than continually repairing isolated areas.

Why Clackamas Homes Develop Siding & Moisture Problems

The Pacific Northwest climate can expose weaknesses in an exterior wall system over time.

Rainwater does not always enter through the middle of a siding board. Problems frequently develop around transitions and penetrations such as:

Windows
Doors
Roof-to-wall connections
Decks
Hose bibs
Exterior lights
Electrical penetrations
Horizontal trim
Siding joints
Chimneys
Porch roofs

Once water gets behind the siding, the damage may remain hidden.

We regularly encounter homes where the exterior siding shows only minor deterioration while the sheathing or framing underneath has significantly more damage.

That is why we approach siding replacement as a complete exterior water-management project, not simply installation of new siding.

Common Siding We Replace in Clackamas OR

Engineered Wood Siding

Older engineered wood siding can deteriorate after prolonged moisture exposure, especially around siding edges, windows, penetrations, and areas without proper flashing.

Swelling, cracking, delamination, and soft siding can indicate more extensive deterioration.

Cedar Siding

Cedar can create a beautiful Pacific Northwest exterior, but it requires ongoing maintenance.

Aging cedar may develop splitting, paint failure, rot, and moisture-related deterioration, particularly when water-management details behind the siding are inadequate.

Vinyl Siding

Older vinyl siding can become faded, brittle, cracked, warped, or damaged.

Homeowners replacing vinyl frequently choose James Hardie when they want a more substantial exterior with greater design flexibility.

Older Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement itself is a durable material, but installation details still matter.

We encounter fiber cement installations where problems have developed because of missing flashing, improper clearances, failed trim, incorrect fasteners, poor WRB installation, or inadequate water management.

Hidden Rot Behind Siding

One of the biggest concerns during a siding replacement isn’t always the siding you can see.

It’s what may be happening behind it.

Water intrusion can damage:

Wall sheathing
Framing
Window openings
Door openings
Insulation
Rim areas
Exterior trim backing
Other structural components

Because these areas are concealed, the true extent of damage often cannot be determined until the existing siding is removed.

Elite Home Exteriors NW can address significant rot discovered as part of a larger siding replacement and exterior renovation project.

Learn more about our approach to dry rot repair and siding replacement.

Waterproofing & Flashing Matter

A beautiful siding installation is only part of a successful exterior renovation.

What happens behind the siding is critical.

Depending on the project, our siding systems can incorporate drainable weather-resistant barriers, flexible flashing membranes, metal flashing, joint flashing, exterior sealants, and other water-management components.

Drainable Weather-Resistant Barrier

A quality WRB creates an additional drainage and protection layer behind the siding.

We frequently use drainable systems designed to provide a path for incidental moisture to move downward and escape rather than remaining trapped against the wall assembly.

Window & Door Flashing

Windows and doors are among the most important areas of any siding installation.

Flashing membranes must be integrated correctly with the WRB so water is directed toward the exterior rather than behind the wall assembly.

Z-Metal Flashing

Z-metal is commonly installed above horizontal trim and other transitions to help direct water away from vulnerable areas.

Joint Flashing

Where required by the siding system, properly installed joint flashing provides additional protection behind lap siding butt joints.

Exterior Sealants

We use professional exterior sealants such as OSI QUAD MAX® in appropriate siding and trim applications.

The result is not simply new siding.

It’s a more complete exterior envelope designed around drainage, flashing, and long-term moisture management.

Our Clackamas Siding Replacement Process

1. Exterior Evaluation

We inspect the existing siding, trim, visible flashing conditions, penetrations, and areas showing evidence of deterioration.

2. Siding & Design Selection

We’ll discuss siding profiles, textures, trim options, architectural accents, colors, and other design considerations.

3. Existing Siding Removal

Old siding is removed so the wall assembly underneath can be evaluated.

4. Damage Inspection & Rot Repair

Once the exterior is exposed, we can identify concealed deterioration that wasn’t visible during the initial evaluation.

Necessary repairs are completed before covering the wall with the new siding system.

5. WRB & Flashing Installation

The weather-resistant barrier, membrane flashing, metal flashing, and other water-management details are installed.

6. Siding & Trim Installation

New siding and trim are installed according to the project specifications and applicable manufacturer installation requirements.

7. Exterior Painting

For pre-primed siding projects, the exterior is professionally finished with a quality Sherwin-Williams exterior coating system.

8. Final Inspection & Cleanup

We inspect the completed project, complete final details, and clean the work area.

Why Choose Elite Home Exteriors NW for Siding in Clackamas?

Choosing a siding contractor isn’t only about finding someone who can nail siding to a wall.

You want a contractor who understands why siding systems fail and how water moves through an exterior wall assembly.

Elite Home Exteriors NW specializes in siding replacement and exterior envelope renovation throughout the Portland and Vancouver metro areas.

James Hardie Siding Expertise

James Hardie is one of our primary siding systems, giving us extensive experience with Hardie siding, trim, installation details, flashing, and exterior finishing.

Building Envelope & Waterproofing Knowledge

We pay close attention to the WRB, membrane flashing, penetrations, windows, doors, transitions, and other areas that help protect the structure behind your siding.

Experience With Hidden Water Damage

Removing old siding frequently reveals problems homeowners didn’t know existed. Our experience allows us to address significant rot and water damage as part of the larger exterior renovation.

Owner-Led Service

We believe homeowners should receive knowledgeable guidance about their siding project rather than a high-pressure sales experience.

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

We stand behind our siding installation workmanship with a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty for as long as the original homeowner owns the home, subject to the terms of the warranty.

I hired Ian to re-side two sides of my house plus an addition we were adding to the property.  Ian was always super prompt with responding to emails and had great coordination with the rest of the teams working on the house.  After the siding they also repainted the entire house.  His crews did a great job!

Working with Ian and his team was a wonderful experience. We met with a handful of companies before picking a contractor. Most spent hours mansplaining how siding works through formal presentations with imagery of worst case scenarios and reasons for why you should only work with their team. Ian listened to us, respected our time, and was very easy to work with. His team did incredible work with the siding and roofing on our house, and they went above and beyond to help us add a new covered entrance to our home. Our house feels brand new and we couldn’t be happier with it or our experience throughout this process.

Elite Home Exteriors NW is the BEST choice for siding replacement.  They go beyond just installing, but provide information about Hardie product, the care of siding after the install and pro & con of choices we made.  They never force options but provide expert information by which we were able to make the right choices.  They have expert, skilled installers & painters who worked with us to insure a near perfect installation. I have worked with contractors for over 50 years and Elite is the most trustworthy company I have ever had business with.

Really wish we were able to give 6 stars here... Bottom Line: Elite Home Exteriors NW (Ian & the whole team) made one of the largest projects we've tackled absolutely seamless with spectacular results. We are soooo happy with how everything turned out!

Our home was built around 1920, covered in very old cedar shakes and was probably one of the more... interesting and "unique" houses this team had to work with. Nothing is square/level, exterior electrical conduit/plumbing stack everywhere, we found dry rot and missing sheathing - you know, all the fun problems. Ian convinced us (and later proved to us) that his team could handle it.

Some of the highlights of Elite's work:
- From the first meeting with Ian and getting a proposal, we knew we were getting an honest and genuine quote. He made us feel so comfortable  with the project and helped us see the end result
- The quote came in and hit our budget goal, right from the get go
- The crew that came to demo and remove all the old siding were great to work with. They identified problems, notified us promptly and came up with some great solutions to resolve (dry rot, missing studs, missing sheathing)
- The same crew cleaned up every night before they left and were always ready to go first thing in the morning
- New house wrap (great house wrap by the way) and siding went up over the course of a week. We were super impressed with some of the specialized cuts they had to make!
- Later, they pressure washed the ENTIRE house (including the deck) and started caulking. The caulking in and of itself looked fantastic
- A separate painting crew came through and finished up the project ahead of schedule. The overall masking and attention to detail getting all the eaves, beams, gutters, downspouts painted went flawlessly (props to Sherwin Williams paint BTW)

Overall, what we thought was going to be a long, drawn-out and stressful project only turned out to be the exact opposite.  Ian's crew(s) took just over a month to finish this two story house with detached garage. We still walk around the house every night and admire the quality of the work and reflect on just how happy we are with the whole situation. It honestly feels like a brand new house... We would HAPPILY recommend Elite Home Exteriors NW to anyone looking to tackle siding replacement and painting for their homes!

The South wall of the house had rot and cut siding from a previous connected wood deck. Ian was a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional from start to finish.
He answered detailed questions, gave me several options to fit within my budget. Ian communicated with me throughout the process, and was accommodating when I requested more detail, or a change during planning phase. His crew shows up on schedule, were friendly and courteous of my property, and cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. The job was completed quickly and within budget. The new siding and paint is an asset to this house and exceeds my expectations. I enjoyed working with Ian, and would recommend Elite Home Exteriors NW to anyone considering a siding update for their home.

Nice job by Nick and his team.  I'm a realtor and needed to have a vinyl repair job done for my client.  The vinyl siding was melted by long term use of a BBQ grill.    Nick & crew matched the style and color perfectly.  The job was done quickly, on time, and the invoice matched the quote.  If you need the job done, and done correctly, call Elite Home Exteriors, they'll take care of you.  Look no further!

 Verified We hired Elite Home Exteriors to remove vinyl siding and replace it with Hardie lap siding.  We were concerned that water may have leaked behind the vinyl siding and caused unseen damage.  We got several bids and Ian's bid was not the lowest, but it was the most detailed in terms on scope of work and he offered a much better warranty than the other companies.  Ian patiently answered all of my questions either verbally or by email and made me feel comfortable with his competence to do a great job for us.  And he did!  His crew was well-trained and paid attention to detail.  The work was done well and completed in a timely manner.  The workers cleaned up after they finished and did not leave any loose ends.  I highly recommend Elite Home Exteriors for any siding project you may be considering.

  Ian and his crew did an outstanding job replacing and painting the siding on the south side of our home. Communication was great, the job site was thoroughly cleaned, workers were efficient and courteous, and the price was toward the lower end of the six bids we obtained. Thank you, EHENW!

  Needed some siding and soffit work on a 1922 aluminum siding dormer. Ian came out, looked at the project, and started the very next week. All of his workers were top notch and friendly.  They even relocated a squirrel family living in our eaves. This job was done quickly and efficiently and the communication was excellent. Ian  came out several times to check on the work and answer any questions we had. Their cleanup was great- just a few stray nails and debris, but that’s to be expected.
He actually fixed a couple of areas that weren’t in the scope of the project for no extra charge. The painters he subcontracted with were also wonderful.
I HIGHLY recommend Ian and his team for any of your siding needs.Couldn’t have gone smoother and I know that’s not always the case.

  We invited Ian to provide an assessment and bid on some decaying wood decorative shingles on our home.  From the minute he pulled up and walked around, this felt like someone I could trust.  There was one area of concern that may have some rot into the house.  When his team got to that section they were unsure what they would find.  And to my pleasant surprise and appreciation, they found nothing.  A small section that he fixed for free, not more in the bid.  His team was prompt, friendly, and did an exceptional job.  From preparation to final clean up, this is the type of vendor you want to have everyone emulate his professionalism, honesty, and commitment to follow up and making things right.  He has earned our business for life and would recommend him to any friends, family, or neighbors.

  Choose this company for you siding, you won't be sorry!  The owner Ian, is far and above best contractor I have ever worked with.  Excels at communication, follow up and explains everything in a friendly non-pressure way. I interviewed three other contractors, before settling on Elite. I knew I would be in good hands for this huge investment with Ian as he was genuine and sincere about providing the best result.  Both the siding and the paint crew are top notch professionals, with a great work ethic and attention to detail, they are Hardie trained so you can be sure the installation was done to the highest standard and it shows! We went from ugly worn out 20 year vinyl to James Hardie siding, and the difference astounding, very very happy with what feels like a new house now.

  Ian Vidovic is the owner/manager of Elite Home Exteriors, and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have accepted his bid for replacing the hardi-plank siding on an exterior wall of our house in Camas, Washington. Our house is on Prune Hill, and the eastern wall faces the onslaught of the Gorge winds and its rain, snow, and ice storms. Long-term damage in our 22-year old house included dry rot all the way to the studs. Ian's bid was not only reasonable, but his word was bond. His crews came on time, as promised. The demolition was completed in one day. The replacement siding in another day. The wall was pressure-washed and painted by a professional crew. Ian was honest, communicative, and very personable. He is the BEST contractor we have ever employed, and we highly recommend him and his company.  Stephen Chipps & Laura Sherrill

  Ian did incredible work for my clients and I!! I am a real estate broker and it's so difficult to find a siding company that can work within the timing constraints of a real estate transaction. Ian did! In the inspection period, it was discovered that my client's soon-to-be-home had siding that was completely failing. Ian went out same day to take a look and provided a quick and accurate quote a few hours later. Not only was his pricing reasonable, but he was able to get the siding job completed before the close of the transaction. My clients have moved into their freshly sided home and are eager for Spring so they can work with Ian to paint it!! He was so communicative and friendly throughout the process. I will be calling him for my own home and recommending him to clients as well! 10/10!

  I would definitely recommend calling Ian at Elite Home Exteriors NW. He is a certified Hardi Plank installer. We unfortunately hired another company to save a couple thousand dollars. (Small HOA, I was out numbered) I really wanted to hire him for several reasons. They are Elite Preferred Installers and definitely deserve and have earned the title. Ian was so helpful and knowledgeable when we were getting estimates for the job. Even though we used a different siding company, he was kind enough to come and inspect the job after installation and before painting!.
So thankful he did this for us!
He found a piece of Z metal  flashing was completely missing on top of a trim board. These details are so important! And something a layman like us, are just not going to notice. He also pointed out how thin the caulking line is. I noticed it was not a nice pretty, straight, clean line.  Definitely makes sense that it should be thicker. He also would have replaced the old plastic vents with a newer type that birds can't get into and build their own little homes. Which makes perfect sense! When your replacing 26 year old siding you should upgrade vents also.
I really can't express how much I appreciate all of Ian's help. I would highly recommend hiring him for your Hardie Plank installation. He knows the product and installation process very well and has a sharp eye for details. Which is really what you want and need when spending thousands on siding.

Thank you Ian! Thank you so much for all of your help.

  My home has a fairly complex exterior, and we were looking to re-side the home as we were dealing with constant issues of water intrusion.

I was searching the greater Portland/Vancouver area for Siding Contractors for Hardie Siding, as we really just wanted something that would hold up against the elements and protect us in the case of any nearby fires (we’re close to some woods). After meeting Ian from Elite Home Exteriors, we decided to go with him and we couldn’t have been happier that we decided to go with him as out Siding Contractor. We had additional problems from the water damage too, and the folks he recommended were also top notch.

Ian and team are a James Hardie Elite Preferred Siding Contractor, which means basically that he’s passed the highest certification for installing James Hardie siding products. I would work with him again, but based on his fit and finish, I probably won’t need to! Thanks Ian!

  I have to say, Ian has been a joy to work with.

He is professional, thoroughly helpful, knowledgeable, and detail focused. His standards for fit and finish meant that the job is done right the first time… which is not something I can say for every siding contractor I’ve ever worked with.

For what it’s worth, Ian is a James Hardie Elite Preferred Siding Contractor, which means he has passed the highest standards of how to properly and beautifully install James Hardie siding products. Hardie siding is a pretty great fit for the northwest, as it resists both water AND fire… I am frankly relieved by no longer having to worry about water intrusion after the great job that Ian and Elite Home Exteriors did on our home. I would absolutely work with them again.

  Working with Ian and his company was an absolute pleasure. I currently own 2 homes and have had 3 previous houses, so I’ve had experience with many contractors over the last 20 years and most are not good. My husband and I had a water intrusion issue (undisclosed to us during a house purchase) that we subsequently discovered for ourselves 6 months later in the rainy season. After meeting with many contactors to figure out how to execute the repair, we decided that their prices were outrageous even for just a patch job and we decided to do the right thing and replace all the wood siding with Hardie plank. My husband found Ian online, and we met with him. He is excellent at communication, through emails/text and/or phone calls. He was always pleasant to meet with and didn’t talk to me as if I was a dumb homeowner, which happens quite a bit in this industry. He was happy to answer all my questions and work with us on a documented design for adding architectural details so there was no questions on how the job would look. He and his crew were always punctual and professional. They finished the job ahead of schedule and did everything promised. Honestly, the water intrusion situation was very stressful, but Ian made it a pleasure to get resolved. I am so happy that we went with him and have had excellent results. My high-strung HOA was even happy about his work and gave us a compliment. I wholeheartedly recommend him, and I would be happy to talk to anyone wanting a reference about our pleasant experience. It isn’t every day that such a huge job is completed with such ease and professionalism. I 100% recommend working with Ian and Elite Home Exteriors NW – you won’t be disappointed!

After meeting with many contactors to figure out how to execute the repair, we decided that their prices were outrageous even for just a patch job and we decided to do the right thing and replace all the wood siding with ***********************. My husband found *** online, and we met with him. He is excellent at communication, through emails/text and/or phone calls. He was always pleasant to meet with and didnt talk to me as if I was a dumb homeowner, which happens quite a bit in this industry. He was happy to answer all my questions and work with us on a documented design for adding architectural details so there was no questions on how the job would look. He and his crew were always punctual and professional. They finished the job ahead of schedule and did everything promised. Honestly, the water intrusion situation was very stressful, but *** made it a pleasure to get resolved. I am so happy that we went with him and have had excellent results. My high-strung HOA was even happy about his work and gave us a compliment. I wholeheartedly recommend him, and I would be happy to talk to anyone wanting a reference about our pleasant experience. It isnt every day that such a huge job is completed with such ease and professionalism. I 100% recommend working with *** and Elite Home Exteriors NW you wont be disappointed!

 Verified Working with Ian and his company was an absolute pleasure. I currently own 2 homes and have had 3 previous houses, so I've had experience with many contractors over the last 20 years and most are not good. My husband and I had a water intrusion issue (undisclosed to us during a house purchase) that we subsequently discovered for ourselves 6 months later in the rainy season. After meeting with many contactors to figure out how to execute the repair, we decided that their prices were outrageous even for just a patch job and we decided to do the right thing and replace all the wood siding with Hardie plank. My husband found Ian online, and we met with him. He is excellent at communication, through emails/text and/or phone calls. He was always pleasant to meet with and didn't talk to me as if I was a dumb homeowner, which happens quite a bit in this industry.

  Glad I hired Ian and his team to replace siding on the south-facing side of my house.  Communication with Ian throughout project was as good as any contractor I've worked with.  The work was done well, went smoothly, just what you want.  Also glad to see them not show up in expensive vehicle wrapped graphics, etc that the customer pays for.  I'll have more siding to do on my house and will hire them again.

  Great communication by the company. The workers are skilled, arrived on time, and they are very friendly.  We love the work they did on our house.  The new siding makes our older home look like a new house!

  Work performed - Independent Siding Consultation and Detailed Work Estimate

We contacted Ian V. at Elite Home Exteriors NW after searching online for a specialist siding contractor and then speaking to his father in WA while Ian was on a family vacation… he came to quote promptly upon his return, for a very large exterior home renovation project. The bid came from Ian quickly, following a thorough walk-through inspection and in great detail, and was several thousand dollars less than 2 other bids we’d received for exactly the same scope of work.

Although we chose to use another company to work with, Ian remained gracious, asked some great questions to remain involved with our decisions, and even came and visited the work site to consult after siding work had started (and framing/shiplap was exposed to assess damage and advise). He wanted to ensure that although we weren’t employing his company, that his  competitor wasn’t missing anything that would jeopardize the success of the overall project and that we could feel confident in our discussions with them when the time came to discuss details of the repair process. When asked about compensation for this service, he graciously declined, gave us his ideas and thoughts so we could remain entirely informed, and confident of the work being performed. He remained available as an independent resource. We know there are a lot of choices to make when renovating a home, and although we didn’t use Elite in this occasion, we feel extremely lucky to have met Ian and look forward to working with them in some capacity in the future. Incidentally, he connected us to his roofing colleagues who replaced our roof and our experience with them was second to none… the pair are a real class act.
Wholeheartedly recommend contacting them, allowing them to bid on work and discussion expectations, as they are very experienced in quite unorthodox situations relating to siding repair, replacement and dry rot arising from compromised stucco and EFIS.
We honestly can’t thank Ian & his team enough for caring (unequivocally) for us from the outset.

  Excellent, attentive service, Ian answered all my questions whenever I asked them. We had our house looking new with better siding and a new paint job within a month. Zero complaints at all, really happy with the results. Absolutely recommended.

  We used Ian to repair the dry rot on our current home. He was extremely responsive and his team did a high quality job. We then asked him to look at the siding on our new home and he came the following day! Wouldn't trust our siding work to anyone else.

  I chose to contract the team at Elite Home Exteriors NW to replace my siding as they had a fair price and provided a detail guide of materials, process and standards. They exceeded my expectations by finishing work early, were quick to communicate, did a fantastic job of replacing the siding and the team that did the install were friendly and helpful. I would solidly recommend Elite Home Exteriors!

  We hired Elite to replace our 90 year old cedar shingle with Hardie siding (10 inch reveal + board/batten). They also replaced our gutters and painted the house.

From start to finish, Ian and Nick were a pleasure to deal with. We closely compared their bid to another contractor and decided to go with them even though they were marginally more expensive as they added more value during the sales process to our decision making and it felt like their bid was "more inclusive". The work itself was done to a very high quality and any issues were resolved quickly and fairly. As part of the siding work, we found some significant dry rot in our sill plate and rim joist on one corner. Elite took this repair work on for a very reasonable cost and ensured it didn't impact the overall schedule. Elite were also very flexible when our requirements changed for certain sections during the process and when there was a cost differential it was always very reasonable.

I would strongly recommend Elite to anyone, we are delighted with the finished product and have had many positive comments from neighbours and passers-by.

  Update: The team went above and beyond.  I had additional projects I needed help with on the exterior of my home and the team was right there quickly and throughly helped me accomplish them.  Superior service.  -   Elite Home Exteriors was amazing.  Definitely the largest renovation I’ve ever done my to my house and the team took care of me the entire way.  They were always responsive and always took the time to answer all my questions. They even completed the project ahead of schedule!  All I had to do was sit back and wait.  Would defiantly recommend Elite Home Exteriors NW.  They went above and beyond!

  We hired Elite Home Exteriors to replace the siding on the back of our house with James Hardie Sierra 8" fiber cement as the old T1-11 siding was showing its age.  The rest of the T1-11 siding on the house looked good so we opted to leave it in place except for one section where a previous owner had cut through the siding to install a dog door.  We had this additional section replaced with matching T1-11 siding.  After the siding was installed/replaced we had Elite Home Exteriors paint the house as well.

I felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire process.  Ian was very helpful guiding us through the  process from start to finish and very quick to respond to any questions we had along the way.  The crews that worked on the house were great and answered even more questions I had the days the work was being done.
The siding looks great.  The paint job looks great.  These guys know what they are doing.

  Ian and Nick did a great job on our bungalow downtown. It was a full siding replacement, roof, and paint job. It was a big job. We got six quotes because we were interested in repairing the original siding under the outer layers. We eventually realized this wasn't feasible because there wasn't any barrier under the original siding - not even paper which does exist on some early 1900s houses. Ian was great at listening to our requirements and just as good at getting his team to implement them. We are very happy with the work they did and would highly recommend them. Simply put, after getting all the quotes it was clear Ian understood what we wanted when he put it in writing. More importantly it was all delivered at the cost that was in the quote. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone.

  We worked with Elite Home Exteriors NW for both replacing our roof and refreshing our exterior paint.  Ian and all of his crew were incredibly great to work with, staying communicative along the whole process from start to finish and being flexible with their schedules!  Additionally, they took extra measures to ensure the outcome of those projects (i.e. pressuring washing the entire house, cleaning up gutters, and fixing/replacing broken siding).  Both projects went along without a hitch and our home looks brand new (and AMAZING).  Quality products, quality service, but more importantly…quality people who take great pride in the services they provide.  I highly recommend them to anyone needing to replace or upgrade their homes.  It was a brilliant experience and couldn’t be more thankful for hiring them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Siding Replacement in Clackamas OR

What is the best siding for homes in Clackamas, Oregon?

There isn’t one siding material that’s perfect for every home, but James Hardie fiber cement is one of our preferred choices for Clackamas homeowners because of its durability, design options, relatively low maintenance requirements, and suitability for Pacific Northwest exterior applications when properly installed.

How do I know whether I need siding replacement or repairs?

A few isolated damaged boards may be repairable. Widespread swelling, rot, cracking, repeated paint failure, water intrusion, aging siding, or installation defects can make complete replacement a better long-term option.

Can there be rot behind siding even if the siding looks okay?

Yes. Water can enter around windows, doors, flashing transitions, penetrations, rooflines, and other vulnerable areas. Some damage remains concealed until the existing siding is removed.

Do you repair dry rot during siding replacement?

Yes. We can address significant dry rot and water damage discovered during larger siding replacement and exterior renovation projects. Our focus is not small standalone one-board or isolated trim repairs.

Do you install James Hardie siding in Clackamas?

Yes. James Hardie fiber cement siding is one of our primary siding systems, including lap siding, vertical siding, Board & Batten designs, trim, shake accents, and select architectural products.

Do you install a weather barrier behind new siding?

Yes. The WRB and flashing system are important components of our siding replacement process. The specific products and details depend on the home’s construction and project requirements.

Can I change the appearance of my home when replacing siding?

Absolutely. Siding replacement is an excellent opportunity to update the exterior using different siding profiles, Board & Batten accents, gable details, trim dimensions, textures, and paint colors.

Do you offer a workmanship warranty?

Yes. Elite Home Exteriors NW offers a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on qualifying siding installations for as long as the original homeowner owns the home, subject to the warranty terms.
