Siding in Frederickson, WA

Siding for Frederickson homes, from Builders Service Company.

Pierce County assessor records list vinyl on only 10% of Frederickson’s single-family homes, so most houses carry another material today, often the fiber cement or builder-grade siding original to homes built since 2000. About 16% of homes were built between 1985 and 1996, the years when LP and other hardboard siding was common. That siding has a known history of moisture failure, so look for swelling, soft spots and flaking along the bottom edges.

We usually recommend three siding types, and the best option for your home is discussed during the free in-home consultation:

• Vinyl siding is the most versatile and least expensive option. The median home value here is about $475,000, roughly 10% below the Pierce County median, and many owners want a durable, cost-effective exterior. Vinyl also keeps costs manageable on larger walls: 70% of homes have two or more stories, and the median home is 1,916 square feet.
• The Evergreen Shield Siding System is our insulated composite siding. Census data shows 61% of homes heat with electricity, and the system’s graphite membrane gives thermal resistance of R-2.0, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl siding. Its composite panels are also built to resist water, mold and mildew through long wet seasons.
• Metal siding rounds out the options for owners who prefer a metal exterior.

Stacked stone or stone veneer works as an accent on entries, columns or a wainscot along the base of the wall. None of the three siding types is wood.
