Many siding problems aren’t limited to what you can see from the ground.
Once deteriorated siding is removed, we sometimes uncover problems involving the sheathing, flashing, weather-resistant barrier, window and door openings, or wood framing underneath.
That’s why we specialize in complete siding replacement rather than cosmetic fixes intended to temporarily hide a larger exterior problem.
Depending on the home, we replace aging or failing:
Our goal is to determine what caused the siding system to fail and address those conditions as part of the replacement whenever they fall within the project scope.
Homes in Molalla experience the cool, wet winters common throughout Northwest Oregon. Repeated exposure to rain and moisture can expose weaknesses in an improperly installed or aging exterior.
Water doesn’t always enter through the middle of a siding board. Vulnerable areas commonly include:
This is why we look at siding replacement as an exterior water-management system, not simply installing new boards over the walls.
The details behind the siding can be just as important as the siding homeowners see when the project is finished.
Not every siding problem means the entire exterior needs replacement. However, widespread deterioration or recurring moisture problems can indicate that the siding system is approaching the end of its useful service life.
Common warning signs include:
If deterioration appears throughout multiple elevations of the home, a complete siding replacement may provide a more comprehensive long-term solution than continuing to repair individual areas.
A quality siding replacement starts behind the finished siding.
After the old siding is removed, our team can inspect accessible areas of the exterior for conditions that weren’t visible beforehand.
Depending on project requirements, our siding replacement systems may incorporate:
If removal exposes deteriorated sheathing, damaged framing, or other water-related damage associated with the siding project, those areas can be addressed before they’re covered with new materials.
We install quality weather-resistant barrier systems behind the siding to create another layer of protection between the finished siding and the home’s structure.
Drainable systems can also provide a pathway for incidental moisture to move downward and away from the wall assembly.
Windows and doors are critical areas in an exterior wall.
We use membrane flashing and integrate these openings with the weather-resistant barrier to help manage water properly.
Proper metal flashing is installed in applicable areas to direct water away from horizontal transitions and vulnerable portions of the exterior.
Where required by the siding system, individual siding joints receive the appropriate flashing detail behind them.
Exterior penetrations and specified joints are sealed with high-quality exterior sealants such as OSI QUAD MAX where appropriate.
The objective is simple: don’t just replace the siding—build a better exterior underneath it.
We want homeowners to understand what’s happening to their home throughout the project.
We start by looking at the existing exterior, discussing the problems you’ve noticed, and evaluating the overall siding system.
We’ll discuss siding profiles, textures, trim options, colors, accents, and other exterior details that fit your home and goals.
The existing siding is removed so the wall assembly underneath can be evaluated.
With the siding removed, previously concealed deterioration may become visible. Applicable rot and water damage can then be addressed before installation continues.
The exterior is prepared using the specified weather-resistant barrier, membrane flashing, metal flashing, and other water-management components.
New siding and trim are installed according to the requirements of the selected siding system and the details of your home.
Specified joints and penetrations are sealed, and pre-primed siding projects can be finished with a high-quality exterior coating system.
We inspect the completed exterior and review the finished project with the homeowner.
