James Hardie® siding replacement, waterproofing, and exterior remodeling designed to protect Troutdale homes from Pacific Northwest weather.

Elite Home Exteriors NW is a local siding contractor serving Troutdale, Oregon, specializing in complete siding replacement and James Hardie® fiber cement siding installation. We help homeowners replace aging, damaged, or moisture-prone siding with exterior systems built for long-term durability, weather protection, and curb appeal.

As a James Hardie Alliance Elite Preferred Contractor, we understand that a quality siding replacement involves much more than installing new siding. Proper weather barriers, window and door flashing, moisture management, trim details, and installation practices all work together to help protect your home.

Whether your Troutdale home has failing engineered wood siding, aging cedar, cracked or warped vinyl, damaged fiber cement, or an exterior showing signs of water intrusion, our goal is to provide a complete siding replacement—not simply cover up the problem.

Thinking about replacing your siding? Contact Elite Home Exteriors NW for a free, no-obligation siding estimate in Troutdale, Oregon.

James Hardie Siding Contractor Serving Troutdale, Oregon

When replacing siding on a Troutdale home, choosing the right material is only part of the decision. Proper installation and water management are equally important.

Elite Home Exteriors NW specializes in James Hardie siding installation for homeowners throughout Troutdale and the Portland metro area.

James Hardie fiber cement siding offers an excellent combination of durability, design flexibility, and relatively low maintenance for Pacific Northwest homes.

Available options include:

HardiePlank® Lap Siding

A classic horizontal siding profile available in several textures and exposures. HardiePlank works well on traditional, Craftsman, contemporary, and many other Troutdale home styles.

James Hardie Board and Batten Siding

Vertical HardiePanel® combined with HardieTrim® battens creates a distinctive board-and-batten appearance. It can be used throughout the home or as an architectural accent on gables and entry areas.

James Hardie Shake Siding

HardieShingle® siding provides the character of traditional cedar shake without relying on natural wood as the primary siding material. It works especially well for gables and architectural accents.

HardieTrim® Boards

We install James Hardie trim around windows, doors, outside corners, and other exterior details to create a finished siding system.

Homeowners interested in available styles can explore our complete James Hardie siding products and view completed installations in our siding photo gallery.

You can also learn more about fiber cement siding directly from James Hardie.

Complete Siding Replacement in Troutdale, OR

Many homeowners contact us because their existing siding has reached the point where continued maintenance or isolated repairs no longer make sense.

We specialize in full siding replacement projects where the existing exterior needs to be removed so the underlying wall system can be properly evaluated.

We commonly replace:

Engineered wood siding
Aging cedar siding
Cracked, warped, or faded vinyl siding
Older fiber cement siding
EIFS and synthetic stucco systems
Water-damaged siding
Improperly installed siding systems

Once the old siding is removed, we can inspect accessible sheathing and exterior wall areas for signs of deterioration before installing the new siding system.

This approach allows us to address the exterior as a complete system instead of simply making the visible surface look new.

Common Siding Problems on Troutdale Homes

Troutdale homeowners need an exterior capable of handling the wet conditions and seasonal weather associated with the Pacific Northwest.

Over time, weaknesses in siding, flashing, caulking, or the weather-resistant barrier can allow moisture to reach areas where it doesn’t belong.

Some warning signs include:

Soft or rotting siding
Swollen siding edges
Cracked siding
Loose siding
Warped panels
Peeling or bubbling exterior paint
Failed caulking
Gaps around windows and doors
Water staining
Rotting window or door trim
Deterioration near roof-to-wall intersections
Siding installed too close to roofing, concrete, decks, or grade

The visible siding isn’t always the source of the problem. Water can enter through improperly detailed windows, doors, penetrations, flashing transitions, and other vulnerable areas.

That’s why our siding replacement process places significant emphasis on water management behind the finished siding.

More Than New Siding: Protecting the Building Envelope

Beautiful siding is important, but some of the most critical components of a siding replacement are hidden after construction is complete.

Elite Home Exteriors NW takes a building-envelope approach to siding replacement.

Depending on the project requirements, our siding systems can incorporate components such as:

Drainable weather-resistant barriers
Benjamin Obdyke HydroGap®
HydroFlash® flashing membranes
Window and door flashing
Z-metal flashing
Siding joint flashing
Kick-out and transition flashing where applicable
Properly detailed exterior penetrations
OSI QUAD MAX® sealant
Corrosion-resistant fasteners
James Hardie installation clearances and detailing

Learn more about the weather barriers and flashing systems we install.

The goal is straightforward: manage water correctly before it can become hidden damage inside the wall assembly.

Hidden Rot and Water Damage Behind Siding

One of the biggest concerns during siding replacement is what may be discovered after the existing siding is removed.

Water intrusion can remain hidden behind an exterior for years before obvious symptoms appear.

Common problem areas include:

Window corners
Door openings
Deck connections
Roof-to-wall transitions
Exterior penetrations
Areas without proper Z-flashing
Failed siding joints
Improperly installed weather barriers

When deterioration is discovered as part of a larger siding replacement, Elite Home Exteriors NW can address necessary dry rot and water-damage repairs before the new exterior system is installed.

We don’t believe in installing premium siding over damaged substrate and hoping the problem disappears.

The wall underneath matters just as much as the siding you see.

Our Troutdale Siding Replacement Process

A successful siding project begins before the first new siding board goes onto the house.

1. Exterior Consultation

We evaluate your existing siding, discuss the problems you’re experiencing, review material and design options, and determine the appropriate scope for your home.

2. Detailed Siding Proposal

You’ll receive a clear proposal outlining the planned siding system, materials, and project scope.

3. Existing Siding Removal

Old siding is removed so we can access the exterior wall assembly and prepare the home for the new system.

4. Sheathing and Rot Inspection

Accessible sheathing and framing areas are evaluated for deterioration or water damage that may have been concealed by the existing siding.

5. Necessary Rot Repairs

Damaged materials associated with the siding replacement are addressed before the exterior is covered again.

6. Weather Barrier and Flashing

A new weather-resistant barrier and appropriate flashing components are installed and integrated around vulnerable areas.

7. James Hardie Siding and Trim Installation

Siding and trim are installed according to project specifications and applicable James Hardie installation requirements.

8. Exterior Finishing

For pre-primed James Hardie projects, the exterior can be professionally finished using premium Sherwin-Williams exterior coatings.

9. Final Inspection

We review the completed exterior, installation details, and overall workmanship before considering the siding transformation complete.

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.

  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.

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!

  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.

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.

  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.

Is James Hardie Siding a Good Choice for Troutdale?

For homeowners looking for an alternative to siding materials that can rot, warp, or require frequent maintenance, James Hardie fiber cement siding is one of our preferred options for Pacific Northwest homes.

Fiber cement siding offers several advantages:

Resistant to damage from moisture and rot
Noncombustible
Resistant to damage from insects and pests
Available in numerous architectural styles
Lower maintenance than many traditional wood siding products
Designed for long-term exterior performance
Excellent compatibility with modern flashing and drainage systems
Strong curb appeal

But even premium siding can underperform when installed incorrectly.

That’s why choosing an experienced James Hardie siding contractor is an important part of the investment.

Siding Replacement for Older Troutdale Homes

Older homes can present challenges that aren’t always obvious during an initial exterior inspection.

Once the siding is removed, we may discover outdated building paper, improper flashing, deteriorated sheathing, previous repairs, or installation details that don’t meet today’s preferred water-management practices.

Our goal isn’t simply to recreate the old siding system with newer materials.

Where appropriate, we rebuild the exterior using modern weather-resistive barriers, flashing membranes, proper clearances, and installation details designed to provide better moisture management.

For homeowners planning to stay in their home long term, these hidden improvements can be every bit as valuable as the new siding itself.

Siding Styles for Troutdale Homes

Your siding replacement is also an opportunity to update the architectural appearance of your home.

Popular James Hardie designs include:

Traditional Lap Siding

HardiePlank lap siding creates a clean, timeless exterior and works well with many home styles throughout Troutdale.

Board and Batten

Vertical board-and-batten siding can provide a modern farmhouse or contemporary appearance and is also effective as a gable accent.

Shake Accents

HardieShingle siding can introduce additional texture and architectural character without using natural cedar shake.

Mixed Siding Designs

Combining lap siding, board and batten, panels, or shake accents can highlight architectural areas while creating a more custom exterior.

Frequently Asked Questions About Siding in Troutdale, Oregon

What is the best siding for a home in Troutdale?

There isn’t one siding product that’s right for every home, but we frequently recommend James Hardie fiber cement siding for Pacific Northwest properties because of its durability, resistance to rot and insects, architectural versatility, and relatively low maintenance requirements.

How much does siding replacement cost in Troutdale, Oregon?

The cost depends on the size and design of the home, siding product, trim details, accessibility, removal requirements, paint or finish selections, and whether hidden rot or structural deterioration is discovered. We provide detailed estimates based on the specific property rather than relying on a generic per-square-foot price.

Can you replace old cedar or engineered wood siding with James Hardie?

Yes. Replacing aging cedar and failing engineered wood siding with James Hardie fiber cement siding is a common type of project for our company.

Do you replace vinyl siding?

Yes. Homeowners with cracked, warped, faded, or otherwise failing vinyl siding can upgrade to a complete James Hardie siding system.

What happens if you discover rot after removing my siding?

When hidden deterioration associated with the siding project is uncovered, we’ll evaluate the affected area and determine what needs to be repaired before installing the new siding system. We want the substrate behind your new siding to be sound before covering it.

Do you install a new weather barrier?

A properly installed weather-resistant barrier is an important component of our siding replacement systems. The exact WRB and flashing products used depend on the project specifications.

How long does siding replacement take?

Project timelines vary based on home size, architectural complexity, weather, rot repairs, siding design, and painting requirements. We’ll discuss the expected project schedule as part of your proposal.
