How homes differ across Island County
Homes in Island County’s two hub cities are close in age. Housing data puts the median year built at 1990 in Oak Harbor and 1991 in Camano, so both housing stocks fall mainly in the 1980–99 era. That was the era of composite and hardboard siding, along with first-generation vinyl windows, and many of those original materials are what owners are now looking to replace.
Climate is shared too. Both cities sit in the rain shadow and islands climate region, and both carry a Low wildfire rating, so neither city stands out for fire exposure.
Where the two cities part ways is exposure. Oak Harbor’s defining condition is low rainfall paired with marine wind and salt air. On Camano, waterfront salt exposure is the standout factor, and permit work there goes through the county. In both places, salt air calls for corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing and finishes rated for marine exposure.
Housing type differs only slightly: mobile homes make up 5% of housing units in Oak Harbor and 6% in Camano.

Island County FAQ
Which Island County communities do you serve?
We serve Oak Harbor and Camano, the two Island County cities with their own pages on our site, and we cover Coupeville through our Oak Harbor page. In all three we replace siding, roofing, windows and decks. If your home is elsewhere in the county, call our Seattle office at 206-430-1927 and we can tell you whether we can reach it.
Do homes in Oak Harbor and Camano need different siding?
Usually not by much, because the housing in both cities dates mainly from 1980–99. Homes from that era often still have their original composite or hardboard siding, including LP siding, which has a known history of moisture failure. On salt-exposed homes we usually recommend vinyl or the [Evergreen Shield Siding System](/evergreen-shield-siding-system), installed with corrosion-resistant fasteners and flashing. The best fit for your house is something we work out during the free in-home consultation.
Is wildfire a concern for homes in Island County?
Both Oak Harbor and Camano carry a Low wildfire rating, so fire exposure is rarely what drives material choice here. The age of the home and its exposure to wind and water usually matter more. If you still want a fire-rated exterior, the Evergreen Shield Siding System has a [Class A fire rating](/fire-resistant-siding), the highest fire-resistance rating for construction materials, and it comes with our lifetime warranty.
