Siding in Centralia, WA

Siding for Centralia homes, from Builders Service Company.

Siding work here usually starts with whatever is failing on the house now. About 28% of Centralia homes date from 1980 to 1999, the era of hardboard and LP siding, which has a known history of moisture failure. Older houses often still wear original wood lap, cedar or T1-11. None of the siding types we usually recommend is wood, so rot and peeling paint stop being yearly chores.

• Vinyl siding is the most versatile and least expensive option. Census data puts the local median home value at about $320,000, roughly 8% below the Lewis County median, and homes in that range tend to suit durable, cost-effective materials. Vinyl also keeps costs in check on large wall areas.
• The Evergreen Shield Siding System is our exclusive insulated composite siding, designed for the Pacific Northwest climate. Its insulating graphite membrane gives a thermal resistance of R-2.0, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl. With 80% of local homes heated by electricity, the payback from insulated siding is larger than it would be where heating is cheap. The composite panels are also built for water resistance against long wet seasons, mold and mildew.
• Metal siding is the third type we usually recommend, and owners planning a premium long-term exterior often compare it with the Evergreen Shield Siding System.
• Stacked stone and stone veneer work as accents on entries, columns, chimneys or a wainscot along the base of the wall.

These are the types we usually recommend, not the only ones that exist. The best option for your house is something we work out together during the free in-home consultation, after we see what is on the walls today.
