Siding, Roofing, Windows & Decks in Maple Valley, WA
More than half of the homes in Maple Valley were built in 2000 or later, and Census data puts the median year built at 2001. That makes this a city of newer subdivisions, where original builder-grade siding, roofs and windows are now coming due for their first replacement. Builders Service Company works as exterior contractors across King County, installing siding, roofing, windows and decks. Below you will find what is typical for homes here, how local conditions shape material choice for each service, and where to go next.

Homes in Maple Valley: what’s on them now
Census data shows 53% of homes in Maple Valley date from 2000 or later, 38% from 1980 to 1999, 8% from 1950 to 1979 and 1% from before 1950. Detached houses make up 84% of homes, with attached homes at 7%, apartments at 8% and mobile homes at 1%.
King County assessor records cover 8,577 single-family homes with a median size of 2,040 square feet. Of those, 32% were built between 1985 and 1996, the years when hardboard and LP siding were common; LP siding has a known history of moisture failure. Only 1% are recorded as renovated, and 20% are rated in good or very good condition.
What the build eras mean for exteriors:
- 2000 or later: fiber cement or builder-grade vinyl siding reaching its first repaint or replacement, plus builder-grade windows.
- 1980 to 1999: composite and hardboard siding, and first-generation vinyl windows.
- 1950 to 1979: cedar, T1-11 or asbestos-cement shingle siding, with aluminum or early vinyl windows. Asbestos-cement may contain asbestos and should be tested before removal.
Assessor records by neighborhood show the same spread. Cherokee Bay Park Assessors Plat (865 homes) has a median build year of 1987, Eastwood Forest (204 homes) 1992, Highlands At Lake Wilderness (172 homes) 1994 and Maple Ridge Highlands (425 homes) 2003.
Exterior permits for homes in the city go through the City of Maple Valley.
Siding in Maple Valley
King County assessor records show 32% of single-family homes here were built between 1985 and 1996, so many houses still wear the hardboard or LP lap siding of that era. Newer homes often have fiber cement or builder-grade vinyl that is ready for its first repaint or replacement. Whatever is on your walls today, these are the types we usually recommend, and none of them is wood:
- Vinyl siding is the most versatile and least expensive option. Home values here run about 21% below the King County median, and vinyl keeps a whole-house project cost-effective. It also suits large wall areas, and 75% of single-family homes have two or more stories.
- The Evergreen Shield Siding System is our exclusive insulated composite siding, designed for the Pacific Northwest climate. The composite material is built for water resistance through long wet seasons, humidity, mold and mildew. Census data shows 39% of households heat with electricity, which makes its insulating graphite membrane worth a look: R-2.0 thermal resistance, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl siding.
- Metal siding is a third option that, like the other two, will not rot the way wood can.
- Stacked stone and stone veneer work as accents on a wainscot, entry, columns or chimney, alongside the siding above. Only 1% of homes have any brick or stone exterior, so a stone base course stands out on the street.
Two-story walls mean taller staging and ladder work, which we plan for before a project starts. The best option for your home is discussed during the free in-home consultation. Learn more about siding replacement in Maple Valley.
Roofing in Maple Valley
Maple Valley sits in the Cascade foothills, where homes get more rain, ice storms and east winds, and higher lots carry snow load. Ice is one of the conditions that sets this area apart. Those conditions call for wind-rated roofing and close attention to underlayment, flashing and ventilation.
We install two main roof types and give both equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing fits most homes and budgets, and wind-rated shingle systems are made for east-wind exposure.
- EDCO metal roofing sheds snow and ice, which helps on higher lots where snow load is a factor.
If your house still has cedar shakes, moss and rot from steady rain are the usual reasons to replace them with asphalt or metal. In wet, shaded yards, moss management and roof-edge and gutter maintenance belong in the plan for any new roof.
King County assessor records show 75% of single-family homes have two or more stories, so most roof work here is high work. We plan safe access, ventilation and roof-edge details before tear-off. Roof age follows the build era: homes from the 1980s and 1990s may already be on a second roof, so we check for multiple layers before recommending a tear-off.
Wildfire risk is rated Low, at the 51st percentile in the state, so roof choice here usually turns on rain, ice and wind rather than fire. Learn more about roof replacement in Maple Valley.
Windows in Maple Valley
Window needs here follow the age of the house. Homes built from 2000 on usually still have their builder-grade windows, and homes from the 1980s and 1990s often have first-generation vinyl units whose seals are failing, which shows up as fog between the panes.
We install Preservation 9000 vinyl replacement windows, and Builders Service Company is the exclusive provider of Preservation 9000 windows in Washington. Styles include double-hung, slider, casement and awning, hopper, picture, garden, bay and bow, and custom shapes. How they fit Maple Valley homes:
- Upper floors: sliders and casements work well on second-story walls and under tight eaves.
- Kitchens and baths: casement, awning or hopper windows open for ventilation where moisture builds up.
- Views: King County assessor records show 3% of homes have a view; picture windows and bay or bow units make the most of one.
Heating fuel affects payback. Census data shows 39% of households heat with electricity and 59% with gas, and efficient windows pay back more where heat is electric. PSE is the local electric utility; check with PSE for current rebate programs.
Owners occupy 83% of homes, which means most houses belong to long-term owners who tend to invest in their exteriors. New windows are an upgrade you will live with every day.

Decks in Maple Valley
King County assessor records show 33% of single-family homes here have a deck, with a median deck size of 240 square feet. The foothills climate is hard on outdoor wood: more rain, and ice storms that turn wet boards slick.
We build wood, vinyl and composite decks, raised or at grade, covered, uncovered or partially shaded:
- Composite or vinyl suits wet or shaded yards, with no rot and no staining.
- Wood gives a natural look and works for a tighter budget, with regular sealing to keep water out.
In a wet, icy climate, the details matter: slip-resistant surfaces, drainage that lets water clear, and steady stairs for getting on and off the deck. We also plan seating and privacy so the deck reads as part of the house, not an afterthought. With 83% of homes owner-occupied, a deck is usually a long-term addition to how a household uses its yard.

Maple Valley siding, roofing, window and deck FAQ
Who handles building permits for exterior projects in Maple Valley?
The City of Maple Valley is the permit authority for homes in the city. Whether your siding, roofing, window or deck project needs a permit depends on its scope, so we review that with you during the free in-home consultation and plan the work around the city's process. We cannot promise a permit outcome, but we will tell you what the project involves before it starts.
Does wildfire risk change roofing or siding choices in Maple Valley?
Usually not as much as rain, ice and wind do. Wildfire risk for the city is rated Low, at the 51st percentile in Washington. If fire resistance still matters to you, the Evergreen Shield Siding System carries a Class A fire rating, the highest fire-resistance rating for construction materials, and EDCO metal roofing is one of the two main roof types we install.
How common are decks on Maple Valley homes?
About one in three single-family homes has one. King County assessor records show 33% of single-family homes in the city have a deck, and the median deck is 240 square feet. If yours is aging or you are adding one, we build wood, vinyl and composite decks, and we can talk through size, stairs and materials at the consultation.
What colors does the Evergreen Shield Siding System come in?
It comes in 20 built-in, fade-resistant colors. Because the color is part of the panel, it resists chipping, peeling and fading, and the siding does not need repainting. That matters on a house where the current siding is due for its first repaint. We bring samples to the free in-home consultation so you can see them against your roof and trim.
Which replacement windows do you install in Maple Valley?
We install Preservation 9000 vinyl replacement windows, and Builders Service Company is the exclusive provider of Preservation 9000 windows in Washington. Styles include double-hung, slider, casement and awning, hopper, picture, garden, bay and bow, and custom shapes. We match the style to each opening, such as sliders or casements on upper floors and casement or awning windows where a kitchen or bath needs ventilation.
Do you offer financing or discounts?
Yes. Financing is available, and we offer discounts for seniors, active military, veterans and first responders. Our work comes with a lifetime warranty. We go over financing and any discount that applies to you during the free in-home consultation, once we know the scope of your siding, roofing, window or deck project.
