We've seen what happens when siding goes up wrong, and we've built our process around preventing it.

Siding Installation Service Overview
Rainwood is a residential siding installation company, and that focus matters — commercial and residential are different animals. We install vinyl, fiber cement (Hardie board), engineered wood, longboard aluminum, and cedar. We don’t push one product over another. Each has a place depending on your budget, your home’s exposure, and how much maintenance you’re willing to do down the road. Our siding installation contractors work across the greater Seattle metro on everything from post-war bungalows to new-build custom homes.
Siding Installation Cost and Investment
Nobody likes vague pricing, so here’s how it actually breaks down. Material is the biggest variable — vinyl sits at the low end, fiber cement and engineered wood land in the middle, and longboard siding installation cost runs higher because the aluminum panel system demands precision fabrication and concealed fastening. Beyond material, cost scales with wall area, story count, window and door density, and how much remediation your substrate needs once the old siding comes off. For what it’s worth, siding replacement consistently lands in the top tier for exterior ROI — most markets see 60–80% cost recovery at resale. Reach out for a free estimate — no pressure, just numbers you can plan around.
OUR SIDING INSTALLATION SERVICES
Hanging panels is maybe 40% of the actual job. The rest is everything nobody wants to talk about at the bid stage. Here's the full scope of our siding installation service.
Siding Installation & Replacement
Strip the old material, check what's underneath, fix what needs fixing, then build back up — sheathing, barrier, trim, panels, flashing, sealant. Full home siding installation from substrate to finish, done in the right order.
Siding Repair
When full replacement isn't justified, we do targeted siding repair and installation work — storm damage, localized rot, sections where a previous crew did something questionable. Fix what's broken, keep the rest working.
SeWeather Barrier & Insulation
House wrap goes on before any siding, full stop. Lapped correctly, taped at seams and around every penetration. On jobs where energy performance matters, we add rigid foam over sheathing before the wrap. This layer is the difference between siding that lasts 30 years and siding that rots from behind in 8.
Trim, Fascia & Soffit
Complete your siding project with matching trim work. We repair and replace fascia, soffit, and decorative trim — all coordinated with the siding material so the exterior reads as one finished surface.
Maintenance & Re-Caulking
Re-caulking seams, checking fasteners, dealing with paint fade on wood products. The goal is keeping what you've got working until it actually makes sense to replace, not upselling you into a project you don't need yet.
Note: Rainwood also handles roofing and siding installation together when both systems need attention at the same time. Contact us to discuss.

COMMON PROBLEMS WE FIX
These are the signs that usually mean it's time to call a siding installation contractor.
What Seattle Homeowners Should Know Before New Siding
In Seattle, like-for-like siding replacement on detached one- and two-family homes generally doesn’t require a construction permit — as long as the building envelope isn’t being changed and the new assembly performs at least as well as the old one. Change the envelope, alter structure, or add openings, and a permit from the Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections (SDCI) comes into play. We assess this before work starts, so there are no surprises mid-project.
Washington’s energy code also rewards doing things right during a re-side: with the walls open, it’s the cheapest moment to upgrade insulation and air sealing. And in a climate with wind-driven rain hitting south- and southwest-facing walls for months, correct water-resistive barrier installation, flashing integration, and ventilation details matter more than the brand of siding on the box.
- Pre-project check: whether your scope stays permit-exempt or needs an SDCI permit
- Water-resistive barrier and flashing installed to manufacturer spec — the core of moisture defense in this climate
- Insulation and air-sealing upgrades offered while walls are open, in line with the Washington State Energy Code
- Fastening and clearances adjusted for wet-climate exposure, not generic national defaults
Why Choose Rainwood?
Plenty of trades tolerate mediocre installation. Siding isn’t one of them. When cladding goes on correctly, it keeps water out, tightens your thermal envelope, and makes the house look the way you want. Get it wrong and you’re dealing with hidden moisture that eats framing for years. Manufacturers like James Hardie require certified contractor installation — without that credential, the warranty doesn’t apply. Rainwood backs both the product and the workmanship.
- 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.

One to three weeks for most homes. A single-story ranch with clean sheathing underneath might wrap in under a week. Two stories, a lot of windows, or significant substrate repair will push that timeline out.
Material choice is the biggest lever — vinyl versus fiber cement versus longboard aluminum will swing the total significantly. After that, it’s square footage, number of stories, window and door trim count, and what’s hiding under your current siding. Old material disposal and insulation upgrades add to the number too.
Fiber cement is hard to beat for durability and fire resistance. Vinyl costs the least and never needs painting. Engineered wood gives you a real-wood look without cedar’s rot problems. Longboard aluminum is the go-to for modern, clean-line architecture. Your siding installation contractor should put samples in your hand and walk you through lifecycle costs, not just sticker prices.
