Siding in Spanaway, WA

Siding for Spanaway homes, from Builders Service Company.

Pierce County assessor records show only 11% of single-family homes in Spanaway have vinyl siding today. Most of the rest carry what the builder put up, from cedar and T1-11 on mid-century houses to hardboard on homes from the 1980s and 1990s. On hardboard and LP siding, look for swollen drip edges, soft board ends and mold or mildew stains. Fading, cracks and warping are the other signs it is time to replace siding. On homes built since 2000, builder-grade vinyl is reaching its first replacement.

Rain decides most siding choices in the South Sound, which gets heavier rain than the central Sound. None of the three siding types we usually recommend is wood:

• Vinyl siding is the most versatile and least expensive option. It never needs painting and washes clean with soap and water. It suits budget projects and large wall areas, and with 52% of homes at two stories or more, wall area adds up quickly.
• The Evergreen Shield Siding System is our insulated composite siding, built for water resistance against long wet seasons, humidity, mold and mildew. Census data shows 65% of local homes heat with electricity, and its insulating graphite membrane gives a thermal resistance of R-2.0, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl siding.
• Metal siding is the other non-wood choice, often picked for a long-term upgrade.
• Stacked stone and stone veneer add accents at entries, columns and wainscots.

The median home value here is 16% below the Pierce County median, so many owners start with vinyl and weigh the upgrade from there. We talk through the best option for your home at a free in-home consultation, and our crews remove the old siding carefully before the new wall goes on.
