From new installations to storm damage repairs, we handle every type of siding project across Sonoma County.
Whether you’re building a new home or re-siding an existing one, proper installation is everything. Poorly installed siding leads to moisture intrusion, energy loss, and premature failure — problems that cost far more to fix than doing it right the first time.
Our installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your home’s exterior. We check the sheathing, inspect for moisture barriers, and evaluate the condition of trim, flashing, and any existing siding. If there are underlying issues — like rot or inadequate weather barriers — we address them before a single board goes up.
We install siding according to each manufacturer’s specifications. That’s not just a quality issue — it’s a warranty issue. Many homeowners don’t realize that improper installation voids manufacturer warranties, even on premium products like James Hardie. Our crew follows every technical requirement so your warranty stays fully intact.
We work with all major siding types: fiber cement, vinyl, natural wood, and engineered wood products. We’ll help you choose the right material for your home’s style, your budget, and Sonoma County’s specific climate demands.
Damaged siding isn’t just an eyesore — it’s an open door for moisture, pests, and structural damage. Whether a branch punched through a panel during a winter storm or you’ve noticed cracks and warping from years of sun exposure, prompt repair saves you money and protects your home.
We handle repairs on all siding types. Common issues we fix include cracked or broken panels, sections damaged by woodpecker activity, areas where caulking has failed around windows and trim, and boards that have warped or buckled due to improper installation or moisture exposure.
Dry rot inspection is part of every repair call. In Sonoma County’s fog-influenced and rain-heavy climate, dry rot is one of the most common — and most costly — problems we encounter. Rot often hides behind seemingly intact siding, quietly spreading to sheathing, studs, and window framing. We probe every damaged area to assess the full extent of rot before quoting a repair, because patching over rotten substrate is a waste of your money. When we find rot, we cut it out completely, treat adjacent framing, and replace the affected structure before installing new siding over a solid, sound surface.
Our repair process starts with a careful inspection to find the root cause. A cracked board might signal a bigger issue like trapped moisture or failing housewrap behind the siding. We look for the why, not just the what, so the repair actually lasts.
For fiber cement and vinyl repairs, we carefully match the existing color and profile so the patched area blends seamlessly with the rest of your home. For wood siding, we can splice in new material, treat for rot, and refinish to match your existing stain or paint.
When repairs are no longer practical — when your siding is widespread failing, badly outdated, or just past its useful life — a full replacement makes the most sense. New siding dramatically improves curb appeal, boosts energy efficiency, and adds real value to your home.
A siding replacement project with us involves stripping the old material, inspecting and repairing the underlying structure as needed, installing new weather barriers, and putting up your new siding. We handle the entire process from start to finish, including disposal of old materials.
This is also the perfect time to upgrade. Many Sonoma County homeowners use a replacement project as an opportunity to switch from aging wood or vinyl to modern fiber cement siding, which offers superior durability, fire resistance, and long-term value. Others choose engineered wood like LP SmartSide for its natural appearance and exceptional weather performance.
We provide a detailed estimate that covers everything — no surprise change orders. You’ll know the full scope, timeline, and cost before we remove a single board.
The #1 brand of siding in America
James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered specifically for the climate zone where it’s installed. Their HZ5 product line is designed for regions like Sonoma County, where homes face a combination of UV exposure, seasonal rain, and temperature swings. It resists cracking, warping, and moisture damage far better than wood or vinyl.
Fiber cement is also non-combustible, which is an increasingly important consideration for Sonoma County homeowners. After the devastating fires that swept through parts of the county in recent years, many homeowners are choosing fire-resistant materials as part of their home hardening strategy. James Hardie siding meets that need without sacrificing aesthetics.
The product comes in a wide range of styles — lap siding, shingle panels, vertical panels, and trim — along with ColorPlus Technology factory-applied finishes that are baked on for consistent color and a 15-year warranty against peeling, cracking, and fading. We install all Hardie product lines and can help you choose the right style and color for your home.
Affordable, durable, and virtually maintenance-free
Vinyl siding remains one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking for an attractive, low-maintenance exterior at a reasonable price point. Modern vinyl has come a long way from the thin, flimsy panels of decades past — today’s premium vinyl products are thicker, more rigid, and available in realistic wood-grain textures.
The main advantage of vinyl is its minimal upkeep. It never needs painting, won’t rot, and is immune to termite damage. A periodic wash with a garden hose is all it takes to keep it looking fresh. For busy Sonoma County homeowners who want to spend weekends in wine country instead of maintaining their home’s exterior, vinyl is an appealing option.
We install insulated vinyl siding products that add an extra layer of thermal and sound insulation to your walls. This can meaningfully reduce heating and cooling costs, especially in older homes that may not have been built with modern insulation standards.
Timeless character for Sonoma County homes
Nothing matches the natural warmth and character of real wood siding. For historic homes in downtown Petaluma, wine country estates near Sonoma, and craftsman-style houses throughout the county, wood siding provides an authenticity that engineered products can’t fully replicate.
We work with cedar, redwood, and other naturally rot-resistant species that have a long track record in Northern California’s climate. Wood siding can be stained to highlight the natural grain or painted in any color. It’s available in horizontal lap, board-and-batten, shiplap, and shingle profiles.
The trade-off with wood is maintenance. It requires periodic repainting or re-staining and needs to be inspected for moisture issues, insect activity, and rot. We’re upfront about these realities during our consultation. For homeowners who value the aesthetic and are committed to upkeep, wood siding is a beautiful, lasting choice.
Engineered wood with built-in protection
LP SmartSide is an engineered wood siding product that gives you the look and feel of real wood with significantly better resistance to moisture, fungal decay, and termites. It’s treated with LP’s proprietary SmartGuard process, which provides protection throughout the entire panel — not just on the surface.
The product is lighter and easier to work with than fiber cement, which means faster installation times and less stress on your home’s structure. It can be cut and fastened with standard woodworking tools, and it holds paint exceptionally well, so finishes last longer and look better.
LP SmartSide comes with a 5/50-year limited warranty and is available in lap siding, panel, soffit, and trim options. For homeowners who love the look of wood but don’t want the intensive maintenance, LP SmartSide is an excellent middle ground. We’ve seen strong results with this product across Sonoma County, particularly in areas with higher humidity or heavy tree cover.
