What Olympia Does to Siding
Olympia gets more rain than Seattle and keeps it longer — the South Sound’s slow-drying winters mean siding here spends months damp, and the details that manage water (barrier lap direction, flashing, clearances at the lowest courses) do more work than the siding material itself. Under the city’s heavy tree cover, shaded walls stretch that damp season even further and fail years ahead of the sunny sides.
The housing stock rewards judgment. The craftsman-era streets near the Capitol carry original siding that’s often worth restoring — board by board, matched in profile — while the postwar and later neighborhoods are simpler replacements, including the usual share of mid-’80s-to-’90s hardboard showing swollen joints and soft edges.
How We Work
Tear-off and sheathing inspection, weather-resistive barrier, flashing at every opening and transition, siding installed to the manufacturer’s specification, sealing, paint if in scope, and a final walkthrough — on historic homes, trim profiles documented before tear-off. One face at a time, watertight throughout, daily cleanup. Work hours 8 to 5, Monday through Friday.
What Affects the Cost
Restoration versus straightforward replacement is the big Olympia variable, then size and stories, material and grade choice, tree access, and what the tear-off reveals. Free walk-through, real number, no pressure.
Olympia Siding Questions
Do I need a permit to replace siding in Olympia?
Requirements depend on the scope of work. We confirm what your project needs with the City of Olympia and handle any permitting as part of the job.
Can you match the original siding on my older home?
Usually, yes. Original bevel and drop profiles can be matched in cedar, and several Hardie profiles carry the same shadow lines. We document trim and reveals before tear-off.
Why does my shaded wall look ten years older than the rest?
Because in this climate it effectively is — walls that never fully dry age on a faster clock. Rebuilding one or two failed walls is a legitimate scope, and we quote it that way.
How long does a re-side take?
Around two weeks of installation, plus about a week for painting; scheduling runs four to eight weeks from signing. Watertight throughout.
What warranty comes with the work?
Our 5-Year Workmanship Warranty plus manufacturer coverage — Hardie lap carries a 30-year non-prorated, transferable warranty.
How do I know if my siding is the failing hardboard from the '80s and '90s?
Look at the butt joints and the bottom edges. Hardboard fails by absorbing moisture, so it swells at the joints, goes soft or spongy along the lower edge, and often delaminates into a fibrous texture rather than cracking cleanly. If a screwdriver presses into it, that answers the question — and it's worth acting on, because once it starts wicking water the sheathing behind it is next.
