Northeast Portland homes deserve siding built for the Pacific Northwest—not a surface-level installation that leaves the structure vulnerable to moisture.

Whether your home has aging cedar, deteriorating engineered wood, cracked vinyl, failing fiber cement, or siding installed without proper flashing, we can evaluate the exterior and recommend a durable solution. Our work is designed to protect the wall assembly while preserving the character of Northeast Portland bungalows, Craftsman homes, Tudors, mid-century houses, and newer residences.

Complete Siding Replacement in Northeast Portland

Replacing siding is about more than improving curb appeal. The siding, trim, flashing, weather-resistant barrier, and sealants must work together to control water and protect the framing beneath them.

Elite Home Exteriors NW provides complete exterior systems rather than simply covering existing problems. Depending on the condition of your home, your project may include:

Removal and disposal of existing siding and trim
Inspection of sheathing, wall framing, insulation, and vulnerable openings
Repair of deteriorated sheathing, framing, and other concealed water damage
Installation of a drainable weather-resistant barrier
Window, door, corner, penetration, and transition flashing
James Hardie fiber cement siding and trim installation
Metal head flashing and butt-joint flashing where required
Exterior-rated sealants at appropriate joints and penetrations
Professional exterior painting when pre-primed products are selected
Thorough cleanup and a final project inspection

By addressing the layers behind the siding, we help Northeast Portland homeowners avoid the kind of trapped moisture and recurring deterioration that can result from incomplete exterior remodeling.

Siding Problems Commonly Found on Northeast Portland Homes

Portland’s long wet season exposes weaknesses in exterior walls. Small installation defects can allow repeated moisture intrusion for years before visible damage appears inside the home.

Rot and Concealed Water Damage

Soft siding, peeling paint, swollen trim, or staining around a window may be evidence of a larger problem underneath. Once the existing siding is removed, we inspect the exposed wall for damaged plywood, deteriorated framing, wet insulation, and signs that water has been entering around openings or transitions.

Our team can complete the necessary rot repairs before installing the new exterior system. Covering damaged materials would only hide the problem and shorten the life of the replacement.

Failing Engineered Wood Siding

Older engineered wood products can swell, delaminate, soften along the bottom edges, and deteriorate around penetrations. Homes with failing lap or panel siding may also have damage where the material was installed too close to roofs, decks, concrete, or landscaping.

Aging Cedar and Wood Siding

Cedar can complement Portland architecture, but it requires ongoing maintenance. Peeling coatings, split boards, failed caulking, and moisture exposure can eventually lead to decay. When extensive maintenance or damage makes replacement the better investment, James Hardie siding can provide a similar traditional profile with reduced upkeep.

Cracked, Warped, or Faded Vinyl

Vinyl siding may become brittle, distorted, loose, or faded over time. More importantly, the cladding can conceal an inadequate weather barrier, missing flashing, or damage around windows and doors. A complete removal allows the underlying wall to be evaluated before the new system is installed.

Incorrectly Installed Fiber Cement

Fiber cement is a high-performance product, but its longevity depends on correct installation. Missing clearances, overdriven fasteners, poor joint treatment, inadequate flashing, and improper caulking can allow premature failure. As James Hardie specialists, we follow current manufacturer requirements and proven water-management practices.

James Hardie Siding for Northeast Portland Homes

James Hardie fiber cement siding is an excellent fit for Northeast Portland because it provides durable performance, design flexibility, and resistance to damage from moisture, pests, and changing weather conditions. It is noncombustible and does not swell or warp like many wood-based siding products.

We can help you select the profile, exposure, texture, trim details, and color system that work with your home’s architecture. Popular options include:

HardiePlank® Lap Siding

HardiePlank lap siding creates the familiar horizontal appearance found on many Craftsman, bungalow, and traditional Portland homes. Cedarmill® offers a wood-grain texture, while Smooth siding creates a cleaner, more refined finish.

Hardie® Panel and Board-and-Batten Siding

Vertical panels paired with HardieTrim® battens can create a classic board-and-batten appearance. It works well for full elevations, gables, additions, and contemporary accents.

HardieShingle® Siding

Straight-edge or staggered-edge shingle siding can bring texture to gables and architectural features without the maintenance demands of natural cedar shake.

HardieTrim® Boards

James Hardie trim can be installed around windows, doors, corners, roof transitions, and other details for a cohesive fiber cement exterior. Rustic and Smooth textures make it possible to coordinate the trim with the selected siding profile.

You can explore additional product information and design inspiration on the official James Hardie website.

Waterproofing Matters as Much as the Siding

Even premium siding cannot compensate for a poorly detailed wall. That is why building-envelope preparation is a major part of our siding replacement process.

We use high-quality weather-resistive barriers and compatible flashing materials, which may include Benjamin Obdyke HydroGap® and HydroFlash® products. A drainable weather barrier creates a path for incidental moisture to move downward and escape instead of remaining trapped against the sheathing.

Critical areas receive particular attention:

Window and door perimeters
Horizontal trim and siding transitions
Roof-to-wall intersections
Deck and ledger connections
Utility and mechanical penetrations
Inside and outside corners
Gable and material transitions
Areas where siding meets masonry, concrete, or other surfaces

These details are largely hidden when the project is finished, but they are among the most important parts of a durable siding installation.

Our Northeast Portland Siding Replacement Process

1. Exterior Evaluation and Detailed Estimate

We inspect the visible condition of the siding, trim, penetrations, transitions, and other vulnerable areas. You receive a clear proposal describing the planned materials and scope of work.

2. Product and Design Selection

We help you compare James Hardie profiles, textures, exposures, trim styles, and paint or ColorPlus® Technology options. Recommendations are based on your home, goals, and architectural style—not a one-size-fits-all package.

3. Removal of Existing Siding

The old siding and applicable trim are carefully removed so the underlying wall can be inspected. We protect the property, manage debris, and keep the work area organized throughout construction.

4. Inspection and Damage Repair

Exposed sheathing and framing are checked for deterioration. If concealed damage is found, we document the condition, explain the required repair, and restore the affected area before continuing.

5. Weather Barrier and Flashing

We install the specified weather-resistant barrier and integrate flashing around windows, doors, penetrations, transitions, and other water-sensitive locations.

6. Siding and Trim Installation

James Hardie siding and trim are installed with the required fasteners, clearances, flashing details, joint treatment, and manufacturer-approved practices.

7. Caulking, Painting, and Finish Work

Applicable joints are sealed with high-performance exterior sealant. Pre-primed siding is professionally coated with premium exterior paint according to the project specifications.

8. Final Inspection and Cleanup

We review the completed exterior, finish detail work, remove project debris, and leave you with a home that looks renewed and is better prepared for Portland weather.

Siding Styles for Northeast Portland Architecture

Northeast Portland includes an unusually broad range of home styles. The right siding design should complement the house rather than erase its character.

For Craftsman homes and bungalows, lap siding with appropriately scaled window trim and shingle accents can preserve a traditional appearance. Tudor-inspired homes may benefit from selective panel details, defined trim, and carefully planned color contrast. Smooth lap siding and vertical panels can give mid-century or contemporary homes a cleaner profile, while mixed siding styles can add dimension to newer construction.

We consider reveal size, trim width, corner details, gable treatments, transitions, and color placement as part of the complete design. Visit our siding project gallery to see examples of exterior transformations completed by Elite Home Exteriors NW.

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!

  We had a great experience re-siding and painting our house with Elite Home Exteriors. Ian was responsive and accommodating to our needs, and we're really happy with how much better our house looks over the old vinyl siding. Would definitely do business with again.

  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.

He took the time to explain various cost-saving options, ensuring that we didn’t feel pressured into making any long-term decisions before we were ready. His honesty, kindness, and deep knowledge of his craft gave us complete confidence in our choices. It's rare to find someone in this industry who genuinely cares about the client's needs above all else. If you're looking for a siding expert who is both skilled and trustworthy, I highly recommend Ian. Thank you, Ian, for your exceptional service!

  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!

 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. 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!

  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.

  Elite Home Exteriors NW did a complete residing (Hardi) and painting of my 2-story house.  All team members, (company rep, siding and paint) were professional, thorough, and detail oriented.  The final result is superb.  There aren't enough positive adjectives to describe the excellent job on all fronts these folks did.  I would highly recommend this company!

  This project was a complete Hardi residing of a two story house with complicated roof lines and many windows. The siding work was completed in November and final paint in March '21 (due to our typical Vancouver WA rainy weather moving in for the season!). The final result is excellent! Both teams, siding and paint, were meticulous and focused on the finer details. They were a pleasure to work with. From initial quotes through to regular updates during the project, communication was responsive and thorough. Ian, co-owner and customer facing rep, was a pleasure to work with and his customer focused attention was exceptional. I highly recommend Elite Home Exteriors NW. They are experts and top of the class in this business.

Frequently Asked Questions About Siding in Northeast Portland

How much does siding replacement cost in Northeast Portland?

The cost depends on the size and height of the home, existing material, architectural complexity, siding profile, trim package, access, paint system, and the amount of concealed damage discovered after removal. The most reliable way to establish a budget is through a detailed exterior evaluation and written estimate.

What siding performs best in Portland’s wet climate?

James Hardie fiber cement is one of our preferred options because it offers durable performance, design flexibility, and reduced maintenance compared with many wood-based products. Performance also depends on the weather barrier, flashing, clearances, fasteners, sealants, and installation quality behind the visible siding.

Can you repair rot found after removing the old siding?

Yes. We regularly address damaged sheathing and framing discovered during siding removal. We document the affected area and explain any work beyond the included repair allowance before completing additional repairs.

Can James Hardie siding match an older Portland home?

Yes. HardiePlank lap siding, HardieShingle accents, vertical panels, and HardieTrim boards can be combined to complement Craftsman, bungalow, Tudor, mid-century, and other Portland architectural styles. Reveal size, texture, trim proportions, and color selection all influence the finished appearance.

How long does a siding replacement project take?

Project duration depends on the home’s size, design complexity, weather, painting requirements, and any concealed damage discovered after removal. We discuss the expected schedule before construction and communicate with you as work progresses.

Do you install flashing around windows and doors?

Yes. Proper integration around openings is a critical part of our siding work. The exact approach depends on existing conditions and the project scope, but our goal is to create a continuous water-management system rather than treating siding as an isolated finish.

Do you offer a workmanship warranty?

Yes. Qualifying siding projects include our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty, which remains active for as long as the original homeowner owns the property and the contract has been paid in full. Product warranties are provided separately by the applicable manufacturer.
