Siding in Redmond, WA
Siding for Redmond homes, from Builders Service Company.
Houses here are large enough that siding choice carries real weight: assessor records put the median single-family home at 2,310 square feet, and 55% have two or more stories. On that much wall area, vinyl siding is the most versatile and least expensive way to replace worn or failing siding.
Many owners look past budget alone. The median home value in Redmond sits 27% above the King County median, and 32% of single-family homes carry an assessor building grade of 9 or higher, the higher-end tier. Buyers in that range more often choose the Evergreen Shield Siding System or metal siding. Heating is a reason to look closely at the first: 59% of homes heat with electricity and 38% with gas, and the composite panels include an insulating graphite membrane rated R-2.0, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl siding. In HOA neighborhoods with design review, its 20 built-in, fade-resistant colors give you a set palette to choose from, and they resist chipping, peeling and fading with no repainting needed.
Brick and stone are rare on local houses, appearing on 1% of single-family exteriors. Stacked stone or stone veneer accents on an entry, columns or a wainscot add that texture alongside new siding.
Vinyl, the Evergreen Shield Siding System and metal are the types we usually recommend, and none of them is wood, unlike the cedar and hardboard on many older houses. The best option for your home is discussed during the free in-home consultation, where we evaluate your current siding, measure and plan the layout, and walk through moisture control and installation to manufacturer specifications.

Redmond siding FAQ
Could my 1980s or 1990s Redmond house have LP siding?
It could, especially if it was built between 1985 and 1996, the LP siding era. Osborne Subdiv, with a median build year of 1984, is one neighborhood from that period. LP and similar hardboard siding has a known history of moisture failure, so it is worth having checked. We can identify what is on the house now and replace it with vinyl, the Evergreen Shield Siding System or metal siding.
What siding is on 1960s Redmond houses, and what replaces it?
Houses from that era, such as those in Redmond Gardens (median year built 1969), likely carry cedar, T1-11 or asbestos-cement shingle siding. Asbestos-cement may contain asbestos and should be tested before removal. For replacement, the Evergreen Shield Siding System uses composite panels built for water resistance against long wet seasons, humidity, mold and mildew, and vinyl and metal are the other types we usually recommend.
