Siding in Snohomish, WA
Siding for Snohomish homes, from Builders Service Company.

Siding on many local homes is decades old. The largest group, 29%, went up between 1950 and 1979, when cedar, T1-11 and asbestos-cement shingles were common, and another 27% date to 1980–1999, the era of hardboard and LP siding. Homeowners usually call us because the current siding needs too much upkeep, looks dated, insulates poorly or has algae and mold growing along the seams.
Whatever is on your walls now, these are the types we usually recommend, and none of them is wood:
- Vinyl siding: the most versatile and least expensive option, a practical fit for large wall areas or a tighter budget.
- Evergreen Shield Siding System: our exclusive insulated composite siding, designed for the Pacific Northwest. An insulating graphite membrane gives it a thermal resistance of R-2.0, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl. Census data shows 63% of local homes heat with electricity, and where heating is costly, insulated siding pays back more. The composite is also built for water resistance through long wet seasons, humidity, mold and mildew.
- Metal siding: a premium option for owners planning a long-term upgrade.
Stacked stone and stone veneer work as accents on entries, columns, chimneys and wainscots, paired with any of the three.
Home values point the same way. The median home value is about $685,000, 5% above the Snohomish County median, and owners at that level more often choose the Evergreen Shield Siding System or metal. The best option for your house is something we settle together during the free in-home consultation.

Snohomish siding FAQ
What siding do you recommend for an older Snohomish home?
We usually recommend vinyl siding, the Evergreen Shield Siding System or metal siding, with stacked stone or stone veneer accents. Many local homes date from 1950 to 1979, when cedar, T1-11 and asbestos-cement shingles were common. With 63% of homes heated by electricity, the Evergreen Shield Siding System's R-2.0 insulation, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl, is a strong fit. The best option is settled at the free in-home consultation.
Does old siding need testing before removal?
Sometimes. Asbestos-cement shingle siding was used on many homes built from 1950 to 1979, and it may contain asbestos and should be tested before removal. Homes built before 1950 may also have lead paint under original wood lap siding. We look at what is on your walls during the free in-home consultation and plan the removal and replacement from there.
