Replacing siding in Happy Valley requires more than choosing a color and siding profile. The exterior of your home is a system, and every component needs to work together to help manage the rain and moisture common throughout the Portland metro area.
At Elite Home Exteriors NW, our professional siding replacement services can include removal of the existing siding, inspection of the underlying wall assembly, repair of damaged materials as necessary, installation of a modern weather-resistant barrier and flashing system, new siding and trim, and professional exterior painting when required.
We replace many types of aging and failing siding, including:
When the goal is a long-term exterior upgrade, we frequently recommend James Hardie® fiber cement siding for Happy Valley homes.
Happy Valley’s Pacific Northwest climate can expose weaknesses in an exterior wall system over time.
Frequent rain and extended periods of moisture make proper siding installation, flashing and water management especially important.
Some warning signs that may indicate it is time to consider siding replacement include:
Sometimes the most important damage isn’t visible until the existing siding is removed.
That’s why we approach siding replacement as a building-envelope project, not simply a cosmetic upgrade.
Elite Home Exteriors NW specializes in the installation of James Hardie fiber cement siding.
Fiber cement is particularly attractive for Pacific Northwest homeowners looking for the appearance of traditional siding combined with excellent durability.
Benefits of James Hardie siding include:
James Hardie offers siding options that can complement everything from traditional Northwest homes to newer contemporary homes throughout Happy Valley.

One of the biggest concerns during siding replacement is what may be discovered behind the existing exterior.
Water can enter around windows, doors, penetrations, siding joints and poorly flashed transitions. Once moisture reaches vulnerable wood components behind the siding, deterioration can continue without being obvious from the outside.
When we remove the existing siding, we can inspect accessible areas of the wall assembly and identify damage that needs to be addressed before covering the home with new siding.
Depending on project conditions, this may include replacement of deteriorated sheathing and repairs to damaged framing or insulation areas.
The objective is simple:
Fix the problems behind the siding before installing the new exterior.
This is particularly important on a major siding replacement because new siding should not simply conceal existing water damage.
The siding itself is only one layer of your home’s exterior protection.
Behind the siding, a properly detailed water-management system plays an important role in directing incidental moisture away from vulnerable wall components.
Elite Home Exteriors NW installs premium exterior components such as:
We commonly use products such as Benjamin Obdyke HydroGap® Drainable Housewrap and HydroFlash® flashing systems when appropriate for the project.
Learn more about our weather barriers and flashing systems and why the materials behind your siding matter.
A beautiful siding installation is important.
A beautiful siding installation with a properly detailed water-management system behind it is better.
One of the advantages of James Hardie is the ability to combine siding profiles to create a more customized exterior.
HardiePlank lap siding provides the classic horizontal siding appearance found throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Cedarmill® offers a wood-grain appearance, while Smooth siding provides a cleaner, more contemporary exterior.
Board and Batten can create a distinctive vertical appearance and works especially well on gables, entry areas and architectural accent walls.
It can also be used throughout the exterior for a modern farmhouse-inspired design.
HardieShingle® siding can add texture and architectural detail without relying on traditional cedar shakes.
We often use shake as an accent in gables or other prominent areas.
For homeowners looking for a more contemporary exterior, James Hardie’s Architectural Collection offers modern panel textures and design possibilities.

Older engineered wood siding can become vulnerable when coatings fail, edges absorb moisture, or installation and flashing details allow repeated water exposure.
Signs can include swelling, deteriorating bottom edges, soft siding, delamination and rot.
Rather than continually maintaining siding that is reaching the end of its useful life, many homeowners choose a complete exterior replacement using fiber cement siding.
During replacement, removing the existing material also gives us an opportunity to inspect the wall assembly and correct accessible flashing or moisture-management problems before installing the new siding.
Cedar can provide a beautiful Northwest appearance, but it requires ongoing maintenance.
Over time, homeowners may encounter peeling coatings, cracked boards, deterioration and rot—particularly in areas that remain wet or have inadequate flashing.
For homeowners who like the appearance of wood but want a fiber cement alternative, James Hardie Cedarmill® siding can provide a traditional textured appearance without using natural wood siding throughout the exterior.
Vinyl siding can eventually fade, crack, loosen or become damaged.
When Happy Valley homeowners want a more substantial exterior transformation, we can remove the existing vinyl siding and replace it with a properly detailed James Hardie siding system.
This also provides an opportunity to evaluate the condition of accessible materials behind the old siding rather than simply covering the existing exterior.
We evaluate the existing siding, trim, transitions, flashing conditions and other visible areas associated with the planned replacement.
The old exterior siding is carefully removed so we can access the underlying wall assembly.
Once exposed, accessible sheathing and wall components can be inspected for signs of moisture deterioration or rot.
Damaged materials included in the project scope are repaired or replaced before the new siding system covers the wall.
A quality WRB is installed and integrated with applicable flashing details.
Flashing membranes, Z-metal and other appropriate flashing components are installed to help manage water around vulnerable areas.
James Hardie siding and trim are installed according to applicable manufacturer installation requirements and project specifications.
Specified joints and transitions are properly detailed using compatible exterior sealants and flashing methods.
For primed siding projects, the exterior is professionally finished using premium exterior coatings such as Sherwin-Williams® products.
We complete a final project walkthrough and cleanup so you can enjoy your newly transformed exterior.
Choosing a siding contractor isn’t just about finding someone who can nail siding onto a wall.

Siding in Oregon has to deal with conditions very different from homes in hot, dry climates.
A successful siding replacement needs to account for prolonged rain, seasonal moisture, wind-driven rain and the numerous openings and transitions found throughout a home’s exterior.
That’s why our approach focuses on:
Siding + WRB + flashing + trim + sealants + proper installation.
All of these components need to work together.
Our goal is to provide Happy Valley homeowners with an exterior that looks beautiful while giving careful attention to the wall system underneath it.
Before choosing a siding contractor, we encourage homeowners to look closely at the contractor’s actual work.
