Siding Installation Kirkland WA
Kirkland's older housing stock – a lot of it built in the '70s and '80s – comes with original cedar or aluminum that's been taking on Pacific Northwest moisture for decades. When homeowners call us here, it's usually because soft spots near the foundation finally got too big to ignore, or a home inspection flagged water intrusion behind the cladding. Rainwood handles siding installation in Kirkland for exactly these situations: full re-sides, targeted replacements, and new construction cladding where the framing is ready and the substrate is clean.
We respond within 24 hours
Siding Installation Service Overview
Kirkland homes vary a lot – waterfront properties on Lake Washington, mid-century ramblers in Bridle Trails, newer construction near Totem Lake. Each has different exposure, different substrate conditions, and different material decisions that actually make sense. We install vinyl, James Hardie fiber cement (including HardiePlank and HardiePanel), engineered wood like LP SmartSide, longboard aluminum, and cedar. We don’t steer every homeowner toward the same product. What works on a house 200 feet from the lake is a different answer than what works on a sheltered single-story in Rose Hill. Our siding crews work across the Eastside; Kirkland is familiar territory.
Siding Installation Cost in Kirkland
Material drives most of the cost. Vinyl sits lowest – typically $7–$12 per sq ft installed in this market. Fiber cement runs $12–$18 depending on profile and trim detail. Engineered wood is in a similar range. Longboard aluminum siding installation cost lands higher because the panel system requires concealed fastening and precision cuts that take more time. On top of material, your total breaks down by wall area, story count, and what’s underneath when the old cladding comes off. In Kirkland’s housing market, exterior work – including siding – routinely returns 60–75% at resale. Call us for an itemized estimate; we don’t do ballpark numbers.
Our Siding Installation Services in Kirkland
From full replacements to targeted repairs, we provide comprehensive exterior solutions for homeowners across the Greater Seattle area.
Full Home Re-Side
Strip old material, inspect substrate, remediate what needs it, then install weather barrier, trim, panels, flashing, and sealant in the right sequence. Common on Kirkland's older single-family homes.
Partial Replacement & Repair
When only a section has failed – storm damage, one bad wall, rot around a window – we replace what's actually broken without selling you a full project you don't need.
Weather Barrier & Rigid Insulation
House wrap installed before any siding, lapped and taped at every seam and penetration. On energy-focused projects, we add rigid foam over sheathing first. Kirkland's older homes often have no insulation at the wall plane – this is where you get it back.
Trim, Fascia & Soffit
Matching trim work completed as part of the siding scope so the exterior reads as one finished surface, not a panel job with old fascia left behind.
Maintenance & Re-Caulking
Seam inspections, fastener checks, re-caulking around openings. Extends the life of existing siding without a full replacement project.
Rainwood also offers interior renovations. Contact us to discuss your project.

Why Kirkland Homeowners Choose Rainwood
Kirkland gets the same wet winters as the rest of the Puget Sound area — 37+ inches of rain annually — and a lot of the homes here are old enough that moisture has been working its way into wall assemblies for a long time. We’ve done enough Eastside re-sides to know what to expect when the old cladding comes off. Sometimes the sheathing is clean and the job goes straight. Sometimes there’s remediation work nobody priced. We scope that honestly before we start, not halfway through the project. Rainwood carries Washington contractor licensing and general liability. James Hardie-certified installation — which keeps the manufacturer’s 30-year warranty valid — is part of how we work, not an upsell.
- Careful inspection and honest recommendations — repair vs. replace
- Weather-tight detailing built for Washington rain
- Certified installation that keeps manufacturer warranties intact
- Itemized estimates — materials, labor, disposal, no mystery line items
- Jobsite cleanliness and respect for your property

Great people. Showed up early and stayed late to get the job done. Work was excellent. Price was the best i found after four quotes. Would definitely use this company again.
We hired Rainwood Construction LLC to replace our French doors, and the result was outstanding. We knew going in this was more involved than a standard swap — we switched from inward to outward swinging doors, requiring extra attention to framing, flashing, and weatherproofing to keep everything sealed against water intrusion.Anatoliy was our point of contact and led the project from before to after, making sure the swing change and weatherproofing were planned and executed correctly. Igor and Vitaly handled the on-site installation and did excellent, high-quality work. The whole team was on time, professional, and delivered top-notch results. Can’t recommend them highly enough. 5 stars!
Every member of this crew I've had the pleasure of coming in contact with has been professional, excellent in their skillset, and fast. Pricing was reasonable for the excellent job they did.Last year we hired Rainwood to do plumbing and painting for a job. Both crews did such a great job, were thorough, and the level of detail was fantastic!We liked them so much we recently hired them for a quick job (installing ceiling fans). We messaged on a Wednesday and the job was done by Friday.Will absolutely hire Rainwood again and again for every job we do for our home.
Working with Rainwood Constructions on our house remodel was an excellent experience from start to finish. Their contractors were highly professional, skilled, and attentive to detail, and the quality of their work exceeded our expectations. The team communicated clearly throughout the project and ensured everything was completed on time without compromising quality. We’re extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a home remodel.
We had a very good experience with Rainwood Construction LLC and Toli during my brother’s home construction project in Shoreline. The team was professional, communicative, and paid close attention to detail throughout the process. We were especially happy with the quality of the fittings and finishing work, which turned out really well. The project was handled smoothly, and the overall workmanship met our expectations. Would definitely recommend them to others looking for reliable construction services.
We had an excellent experience with them on our sunroom project. The quality of the work was outstanding, they were easy to work with, and they clearly explained each step, the schedule, and key decisions (with various options to help us understand cost) along the way. Communication was solid from start to finish, and the final result looks great. Highly recommend, they are my new go to recommendation when friends ask.
Our Simple Process
For Kirkland properties near the waterfront or with significant western exposure, we pay close attention to flashing details at every window, door, and penetration. Water finds the weak points. Getting that right the first time costs less than opening a wall two years later.

FAQ
Most single-story homes take 3–5 days. Two-story or homes with complex trim detail run 5–8 days. If substrate remediation is needed, add 1–2 days. We’ll give you a timeline in the written scope.
In most cases, yes — the City of Kirkland requires a permit for full siding replacement. Rainwood handles permit applications as part of the project.
Fiber cement or engineered wood. Both handle moisture cycling better than vinyl in high-exposure situations, and both carry substantial warranties when installed by a certified contractor. We’ll walk you through the tradeoffs on-site.
