Services / Siding

Siding Installation in Washington State

James Hardie fiber cement, natural cedar, and engineered wood siding installed by experienced crews across Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and surrounding communities.

Quality Siding Built for the Pacific Northwest

Washington State's climate puts real demands on exterior materials. Seattle averages nearly 40 inches of rain each year, and coastal areas see persistent moisture, humidity, and occasional strong winds. Your siding is one of your home's most important defenses against water intrusion, mold, and long-term structural damage. Choosing the right product and having it installed correctly is one of the most impactful decisions a Washington homeowner can make.

At CedarPeakHomes, we specialize in three siding products that perform consistently well in this region: James Hardie fiber cement, natural cedar, and engineered wood. We are a James Hardie certified installer and have completed siding projects across King, Pierce, Kitsap, and Thurston counties for over 15 years.

Siding Materials We Install

James Hardie Fiber Cement

The most popular choice for Washington homeowners. Engineered to resist moisture, rot, and pests without the upkeep of natural wood. Carries a 30-year warranty and is available in dozens of profiles and pre-finished colors. Typical range: $15,000 to $45,000.

Natural Cedar Siding

Cedar has defined the Pacific Northwest home aesthetic for generations. Naturally resistant to moisture and decay, it insulates well and develops a character over time that no synthetic product can replicate. Properly maintained cedar can last 30 to 40 years. Typical range: $18,000 to $50,000.

Engineered Wood Siding

Products like LP SmartSide deliver the warmth and texture of real wood with improved moisture resistance and dimensional stability. A solid mid-range option for homeowners who want the look of wood without the full maintenance commitment of cedar. Typical range: $12,000 to $35,000.

Not Sure Which to Choose?

During your free estimate visit, our project manager will walk through the options with you and make a clear, honest recommendation based on your home's style, your maintenance preferences, and your budget.

Common Questions

How much does siding replacement cost?+
Most siding projects on a standard single-family home in Washington fall between $14,000 and $45,000, depending on the material selected and the size of the home. We provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins.
How long does a siding project take?+
Most residential siding projects take between 4 and 10 days. Fiber cement jobs can take slightly longer due to the cutting and priming process involved.
What affects the final price?+
Square footage, material selection, home accessibility, and the condition of the existing sheathing underneath are the main factors. If moisture damage is discovered during removal, we discuss any additional scope with you before proceeding.
When can you start?+
Our typical scheduling window is 2 to 6 weeks from estimate approval. We will always give you a confirmed start date before any contract is signed.

Services / Roofing

Roofing in Seattle and Washington State

Complete roof replacements, targeted repairs, and new installations by experienced crews who understand Washington's climate inside and out.

Roofing Built for Washington's Climate

Washington State homeowners deal with more rainy days per year than nearly anywhere else in the country. A roof that was installed two decades ago may now be showing its age through moss growth, soft spots, or active leaks. Getting ahead of a failing roof before water reaches the structure below is one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make.

CedarPeakHomes has completed roofing projects across King, Pierce, Kitsap, and Thurston counties for over 15 years. We handle everything from emergency repairs to complete tear-off and replacement using premium roofing systems proven in high-moisture environments.

Roofing Systems We Install

Architectural Shingles

Our standard recommendation for most Washington homes. Premium 30-year architectural shingles with proper underlayment, ice and water shield, and ridge ventilation. Typical range: $12,000 to $30,000.

Impact-Resistant Shingles

A premium upgrade with higher wind and impact ratings. Often qualifies for insurance discounts and extended manufacturer warranties. Recommended for exposed or elevated properties. Typical range: $18,000 to $38,000.

Roof Repairs and Targeted Patches

Not every roof needs a full replacement. When damage is contained and the rest of the structure is sound, a professional repair is the right call. We give you an honest assessment and never push work that is not needed.

Complete Tear-Off and Replacement

When a roof has reached the end of its service life, we handle the full tear-off, deck inspection and repair, and complete new installation with updated flashing and modern sealing details.

Common Questions

How much does a roof replacement cost?+
Most residential roof replacements in Washington fall between $12,000 and $30,000 for architectural shingles. The final cost depends on roof size, pitch, penetrations like chimneys or skylights, and deck condition.
How long does a roof replacement take?+
Most single-family homes are completed in 1 to 3 days. Larger or more complex roofs may take 4 to 5 days. We schedule around weather forecasts whenever possible.
What affects the final price?+
Roof size, pitch steepness, number of penetrations, and deck condition are the main variables. If damaged sheathing is found during tear-off, we discuss the additional scope with you before proceeding.
When can you start?+
Our typical lead time after estimate approval is 2 to 5 weeks. If you have an active leak or emergency situation, contact us directly and we will do our best to prioritize your job.

Land Development

Own Land in Washington and Ready to Build?

We guide property owners through planning, permitting, and construction. Our partners bring over 70 years of combined experience in Washington land development, engineering, and construction management.

Turning Your Property Into What You Envision

Developing land in Washington State involves a complex series of steps — site evaluation, environmental review, permitting, utility coordination, clearing, and construction management. Each property is different, and wooded lots, sloped terrain, drainage challenges, and wetland buffers all require specific expertise to navigate properly.

We work with licensed planners, engineers, and contractors who have direct experience with Washington's permitting requirements and building codes. Our role is to help you understand what is realistic for your property, identify the right professionals for each phase, and keep the project moving forward with clear communication throughout.

📍

Site Evaluation and Feasibility

Assess what is possible on your specific parcel before committing to a development plan. We evaluate terrain, access, utilities, and zoning.

📐

Lot Split and Short Plat Consulting

If your property is large enough to subdivide, we help you understand the process, costs, and timeline involved in a short plat or lot split in Washington.

🌲

Land Clearing and Preparation

Wooded lots, brush-covered parcels, and sloped terrain all require careful clearing and grading before construction can begin. We coordinate the right equipment and crews for your site.

💧

Utility Planning and Coordination

Water, sewer, electrical, and stormwater connections all need to be planned and permitted. Drainage challenges are especially common on Western Washington properties.

🏗️

Architectural Support and New Construction Management

From architectural planning to breaking ground to final inspection, we coordinate the right professionals for every phase of your build.

Working with Washington's Terrain and Climate

Wooded lots require careful tree assessment and clearing plans that meet county regulations. Sloped properties need engineered retaining solutions and stormwater management. Properties near wetlands, streams, or shorelines face additional environmental review requirements. We bring in the right specialists for each situation so nothing is overlooked and your project does not stall mid-process.

James Hardie vs Cedar Siding: Which Is Right for Your Washington Home?

Choosing a siding material is one of the more consequential decisions you will make as a homeowner in the Pacific Northwest. Here is a practical comparison of how fiber cement and natural cedar actually perform in Washington's climate.

🏠

Why This Decision Matters More Here

Washington gets a significant amount of rain. Seattle averages close to 40 inches per year, with the wet months stretching from October through April. That sustained moisture puts real stress on exterior materials, and it is one of the main reasons so many homeowners are replacing siding that was installed only 15 or 20 years ago. The material you choose today determines how well your home holds up over the next three decades.

Both James Hardie fiber cement and natural cedar perform well in this region, but they do so differently. Understanding those differences helps you make the right call for your home and your budget.

Our General Recommendation

For most Washington homeowners planning a full siding replacement, James Hardie fiber cement is the stronger long-term investment. It requires less maintenance, carries a better warranty, and holds its appearance longer. Natural cedar is a compelling choice for homeowners who value its authentic look and are prepared to maintain it properly.

James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

James Hardie is the most widely installed siding product in the Pacific Northwest for good reason. The material is a composite of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers pressed into panels and planks that closely mimic the look of natural wood without wood's susceptibility to rot and moisture damage. We are a James Hardie certified installer, which means our crews are trained specifically in the methods Hardie recommends. When done correctly, it carries a 30-year non-prorated warranty and can easily outlast that in Washington's climate. Most fiber cement siding projects on a standard home in Washington range from $15,000 to $45,000.

Natural Cedar Siding

Cedar has been the defining exterior material of Pacific Northwest homes for generations. It is naturally resistant to moisture and decay, insulates better than most synthetic products, and ages in a way that many homeowners find genuinely beautiful. Properly sealed and maintained, cedar siding can last 30 to 40 years. The tradeoff is maintenance. Cedar needs to be painted or stained regularly, typically every 5 to 8 years in Washington's climate. Cedar siding projects in Washington typically range from $18,000 to $50,000 for a full replacement.

Cost Comparison

Want to Talk Through Your Options?

Our project managers are happy to walk you through the right material choice for your home during a free on-site estimate. No pressure, just honest advice.

Bottom Line

If you want a low-maintenance, durable option with strong warranty backing, James Hardie fiber cement is the right choice for most Washington homeowners. If the authentic look and feel of real wood is important to you and you are prepared to maintain it properly, natural cedar is a beautiful and lasting option. Either way, proper installation matters as much as the material itself.
