Siding & Exterior Services in Portland, Oregon & Beyond

Your siding is the rain screen for the whole house. We install it, repair it and clean it so water stays outside the wall.

Gray lap siding on a single-story home exterior in Gervais, OR

Oregon exteriors fight a slow battle with moisture. Lap siding on north and east walls stays damp longest, the bottom courses sit closest to splashing rain, and every window, door and trim joint is a place water can slip behind the boards. By the time a stain shows up on the inside wall, the damage behind the siding has usually been growing for years.

We handle the whole exterior shell from one crew: new siding on a correctly flashed wall, targeted repairs where rot or storm damage has started, and pressure washing to clear the moss and algae that Pacific Northwest weather leaves behind. Our photos from recent jobs show gray lap siding on single-story homes, the kind of house that fills many Gervais and Salem neighborhoods.

Choose the service below that matches your wall, or call us to talk through what you are seeing. A short look at the siding and the framing behind it usually tells us whether you need a patch, a section replaced or a full re-side.

What sets our exterior work apart

We fix the cause, not only the stain

Replacing a rotted board without finding the missing flashing above it means doing the job twice. We trace the water first.

Flashing and gaps get attention

Window heads, door corners, kick-outs and bottom edges are where most siding failures begin, so we treat them as the main event.

Cleaning that will not hurt the wall

Pressure washing aimed the wrong way forces water behind lap siding. We match pressure and angle to the surface in front of us.

Siding & Exterior questions, answered

What siding holds up best in Oregon rain?
Fiber-cement, vinyl and properly primed wood or engineered-wood siding can all perform well here. Longevity depends as much on installation, flashing and paint or finish as on the product itself, so we recommend based on your house and budget.
Can you repair part of the siding instead of replacing the whole house?
Often, yes. If damage is limited to a few boards or one wall, replacing those sections and sealing the cause can be enough. Matching an older profile or color is the tricky part, and we will tell you honestly if a larger section makes more sense.
Is pressure washing safe for siding?
It is when done correctly: lower pressure, a downward spray angle and care around windows, vents and seams. Too much pressure drives water behind the siding. That is why we treat it as a skilled task, not a quick rinse.
How can I tell if the wall behind my siding is wet?
Warning signs include soft or swollen boards near the ground, paint that bubbles or peels in patches, dark streaks under windows and a musty smell indoors. Moisture checks during an inspection give a clear answer.
Does new siding need a permit?
It depends on your jurisdiction and whether sheathing or structure is being changed. We will confirm requirements with your local building department before any work begins.
