Siding, Roofing, Windows & Decks in Woodinville, WA
King County assessor records show that 23% of single-family homes here were built between 1985 and 1996, the period when LP composite siding went onto a large share of new houses. On the Eastside, builds from the 1980s and 90s often come with failing composite siding and builder-grade windows, so an exterior home remodel in Woodinville usually starts with a hard look at the walls. Builders Service Company replaces siding, roofing, windows and decks for homeowners across King County. Below you’ll find what is typical for local houses, how conditions here shape material choices, and what each project involves.
Homes in Woodinville: what’s on them now
Census data puts the median year built for all housing in Woodinville at 1995. That count of 5,626 units includes apartments, which make up 43% of the total, alongside 51% detached houses and 5% attached homes. By era, 44% were built in 2000 or later, 37% between 1980 and 1999, 18% between 1950 and 1979 and 1% before 1950.
Single-family houses skew older. The King County assessor counts 2,995 of them, with a median build year of 1987: 40% from 1980 to 1999, 30% from 1950 to 1979 and 28% from 2000 on. Only 29% are rated in good or very good condition, and the median home has 2,430 square feet.
Each era points to a different exterior:
- 1950–1979: cedar, T1-11 or asbestos-cement shingle siding, with aluminum or early vinyl windows. Asbestos-cement shingles may contain asbestos and should be tested before removal.
- 1980–1999: hardboard and composite siding, including LP siding with its known history of moisture failure, plus first-generation vinyl windows.
- 2000 and later: builder-grade vinyl siding and builder-grade windows reaching their first replacement.
Neighborhood medians show the spread: Kingswood dates to 1969, Kingsgate Highlands to 1976, Winchester Hills to 1989 and Vinterra to 2018.
Exterior permits in the city are issued by the City of Woodinville.
Siding in Woodinville
Many Woodinville houses from the late 1980s and early 90s still wear the composite or hardboard siding they were built with, and LP siding from that era has a known history of moisture failure. Warping, rot, peeling and fading are the signs to watch for. Cedar or T1-11 on homes from the 1960s and 1970s can show the same symptoms after years of moderate Eastside rain.
We usually recommend three siding types, and the best fit for your house is decided during the free in-home consultation:
- Vinyl siding is the most versatile and least expensive option. It keeps costs in check on big walls, and with 59% of single-family homes at two stories or more, wall area adds up quickly.
- The Evergreen Shield Siding System is our insulated composite siding, designed for the Pacific Northwest. An insulating graphite membrane gives it R-2.0 thermal resistance, compared with R-0.61 for standard vinyl. That matters where 51% of homes heat with electricity. The composite is also built to resist water, humidity, mold and mildew.
- Metal siding gives a crisp, durable finish for owners planning to stay long term.
None of the three is wood, so the rot that shows up on older boards is not part of the picture. Census figures put the median home value at about $1,100,000, 19% above the King County median, and owners of higher-value homes more often choose the Evergreen Shield Siding System or metal.
Stacked stone and stone veneer work as accents on wainscots, entries, columns and chimneys. Assessor records show just 1% of homes with any brick or stone exterior today, so a stone base course can set a house apart.

Roofing in Woodinville
With 40% of Woodinville’s single-family homes built between 1980 and 1999, a large share of roofs are either original or on an earlier reroof. A tear-off shows how many layers are on the house and whether the roof deck needs repair before new roofing goes on.
The Eastside gets moderate rain, and the city’s larger lots and rural edges mean more roofs near open ground and plantings. Moss control, attic ventilation, underlayment and flashing at walls, valleys and roof edges are where a long-lasting roof is won or lost. We check each of these during the consultation.
We install two main roof types and give them equal weight:
- Asphalt shingle roofing: a familiar look, a wide choice of colors and a good fit for most pitched roofs.
- EDCO metal roofing: sheds water and debris well, resists moss buildup and suits owners who want a long-term roof.
Wildfire risk for the area is rated Low, at the 31st percentile statewide, so fire resistance is rarely the deciding factor here. Appearance, moss and drainage usually drive the choice instead. If your home has an old cedar shake roof, moss and rot on the shakes are common reasons to move to asphalt or metal.
Height affects the job too. With 59% of single-family homes at two stories or more, crews plan for steeper access, safety setup and debris protection around the house. Many Eastside neighborhoods also have HOA design review that covers roof color and material, so bring your HOA’s guidelines to the consultation.

Windows in Woodinville
Windows age along with the house. Homes from 1980 to 1999 often have first-generation vinyl windows with failing seals, which show up as fogging between the panes and drafts. Houses built since 2000, 44% of Woodinville’s housing, usually came with builder-grade windows that are now due for an upgrade.
We install Preservation 9000 vinyl replacement windows. Builders Service Company is the exclusive provider of Preservation 9000 windows in Washington. Available styles include:
- Double-hung and slider windows for most living spaces
- Casement, awning and hopper windows for kitchens and baths that need ventilation
- Picture, garden, bay and bow windows to open up a room
- Custom shapes for gables and accent openings
On second floors and under tight eaves, sliders and casements are usually the easiest to operate and clean. Census data shows 51% of homes heat with electricity and 47% with gas. Where electric heat is common, efficient windows have a larger payback. PSE is the local electric utility, so check with PSE for current window programs before you order.
Ownership matters too. Census data shows 57% of homes are owner-occupied, and long-term owners are the ones who benefit most from windows sized and installed for years of use. The in-home consultation covers frame sizes and the right style for each room.

Decks in Woodinville
Decks are common here. King County assessor records show 55% of Woodinville’s single-family homes have one, with a median deck size of 240 square feet. Many of those decks were built with the houses in the 1980s and 90s and are now due for new boards, railings or a full rebuild.
We build with wood, vinyl and composite decking:
- Composite and vinyl resist rot and do not need staining, a good match for the Eastside’s moderate rain and shaded corners where moss collects.
- Wood gives a natural look at a lower starting cost, with regular sealing to keep it sound.
On wet surfaces, slip resistance and drainage between boards deserve attention, along with ledger flashing where the deck meets the house. Larger lots and rural edges also give many owners room to extend or add a second level.
Every deck project starts with a visit. We inspect the property, talk through how you want to use the space, then give you an estimate before any work begins.

Woodinville siding, roofing, window and deck FAQ
Do I need a permit to replace siding, roofing or a deck in Woodinville?
Exterior permits in Woodinville are issued by the City of Woodinville, and whether your project needs one depends on its scope. Many Eastside neighborhoods also have HOA design review that covers materials and colors. During the free in-home consultation we go over what your project involves so you can plan for city and HOA approvals before work is scheduled. We cannot guarantee a permit outcome, but we can help you prepare.
My Woodinville house was built in the late 1980s. Should I worry about the siding?
It is worth a close look. The median single-family home in Woodinville was built in 1987, in the era of hardboard and composite siding, and LP siding from those years has a known history of moisture failure. Check for swelling, soft spots, rot and peeling paint along the bottom edges. If the boards are failing, we usually recommend vinyl, the Evergreen Shield Siding System or metal as the replacement.
Is the Evergreen Shield Siding System worth it on a higher-value Woodinville home?
For many owners it is. Census figures put Woodinville's median home value 19% above the King County median, and owners of higher-value homes more often choose premium siding. The Evergreen Shield Siding System comes in 20 built-in, fade-resistant colors that resist chipping, peeling and fading, so the siding never needs repainting. We compare it with vinyl and metal for your house during the consultation.
Should I choose asphalt shingles or EDCO metal roofing in Woodinville?
Both work well, and the choice usually comes down to looks, budget and how long you plan to stay. Woodinville's wildfire risk is rated Low, at the 31st percentile statewide, so moss, drainage and appearance tend to matter more than fire rating. EDCO metal roofing sheds water and debris and resists moss buildup, while asphalt shingles offer a familiar look and wide color choice.
Are there rebates for replacement windows in Woodinville?
Rebate programs change, so check with PSE, Woodinville's electric utility, for current window offers. Homes that heat with electricity tend to see a larger payback from efficient windows. We install Preservation 9000 vinyl replacement windows, and Builders Service Company is the exclusive provider of Preservation 9000 in Washington. We can measure and quote your windows during a free in-home consultation.
What decking holds up best in Woodinville?
Composite and vinyl decking hold up best for most Woodinville owners because they resist rot and do not need staining in the Eastside's moderate rain. Wood is a good choice if you want a natural look and are willing to seal it regularly. The median deck on a local single-family home is 240 square feet, and we can rebuild or extend one in any of the three materials.
