Siding in Marysville, WA
Siding for Marysville homes, from Builders Service Company.
Siding is usually where a house shows its age first. Census data puts 31% of local homes in the 1980 to 1999 build years, when hardboard and LP siding were common, and another 28% between 1950 and 1979, when cedar and T1-11 went on many houses. Swelling, soft spots, peeling paint and rot along the lower courses are the usual signs that replacement is due. Builder-grade vinyl on newer houses is often ready for an upgrade too.
We usually recommend three siding types, and we settle on the right one for your house during the free in-home consultation:
- Vinyl siding is the most versatile and least expensive option. Median home values here run about 13% below the Snohomish County median, and in that range many owners choose a durable, cost-effective material like vinyl.
- The Evergreen Shield Siding System is our exclusive insulated composite siding, built for water resistance through long wet seasons, humidity, mold and mildew. Its graphite membrane gives it a thermal resistance of R-2.0, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl. Half of local homes heat with electricity, and where heating costs more, insulated siding pays back more.
- Metal siding is the third option, often picked for a crisp, contemporary look.
None of the three is wood, so in our experience none of them rots the way aging cedar does in a wet climate. Stacked stone and stone veneer work as accents on wainscots, entries, columns and chimneys, and give the base of a wall a durable finish.

Marysville siding FAQ
Could my 1980s or 1990s Marysville house have LP siding?
It could. Census data puts 31% of homes here in the 1980 to 1999 build years, the era of composite and hardboard siding, including LP siding, which has a known history of moisture failure. Swollen, soft or flaking board edges are the usual signs. We identify what is on your house during a free in-home consultation and talk through vinyl, the Evergreen Shield Siding System or metal as the replacement.
Is insulated siding worth it if my home has electric heat?
It can be. About half of homes here heat with electricity, and where heating costs more, insulated siding pays back more. The Evergreen Shield Siding System uses an insulating graphite membrane with a thermal resistance of R-2.0, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl siding. We look at your walls and heating setup at a free in-home consultation and help you weigh it against standard vinyl.
