Cedar Siding Installation Marysville, WA
Most Marysville homes built during the '90s boom are hitting a wall where the original exterior is simply finished. We see it every week—hardboard lap siding delaminating at the edges or old vinyl that has gone brittle and chalky. Cedar remains the gold standard for the Northwest, but it only works if the drainage plane behind it is solid. We don't just nail boards to a house; we build a managed moisture system that lets your walls breathe without letting the Marysville rain in.

Siding Installation Service Overview
In Marysville, performance issues usually stem from installers ignoring the physics of water rather than the wood being “bad.” Most crews tight-butt cedar planks against window trim. This is where most projects fail. Without a 1/8-inch expansion gap and high-grade sealant, the wood wicks moisture like a straw and rots from the inside out.
We work across all Marysville neighborhoods – from the newer builds near Sunnyside to older lots closer to State Ave. Every era of home here has its own “surprises” hidden under the cladding. We offer clear vertical grain for a modern look or knotty bevel for a classic PNW feel. Our approach doesn’t change: strip the old layers, inspect the OSB sheathing for soft spots, and install a modern weather-resistive barrier before the first cedar plank ever touches the wall.
Investment and Financing Options
Cedar isn’t the budget pick – that’s vinyl – but it is an investment in structural health and curb value. A typical Marysville re-side can range from $18,000 to over $45,000 depending on the grade of wood and how much trim needs replacing. We avoid “ballpark” guesses because they lead to disputes. You get a line-item estimate showing exactly what you’re paying for – from the stainless steel ring-shank nails to the specific metal flashing at the headers.
For financing, many local homeowners use HELOCs or personal renovation loans. We work with lenders who understand construction draws. This means funds are released based on actual milestones, like when the “dry-in” is complete, keeping the project moving without out-of-pocket stress.
Our Marysville Siding Installation Services
What Rainwood Construction covers for cedar siding installation projects.
Full Cedar Tear-off & Replace
We strip everything to the studs. If the plywood is rotted, we replace it before the new wrap goes on – this part is non-negotiable.
Rainscreen Systems
Cedar moves as it dries and gets wet. We install a system of furring strips that creates a 3/8-inch air gap. It adds to the labor but doubles the life of your paint job.
Custom Cedar Shingle Work
We handle intricate patterns and corner weaving. Most contractors use plastic corner caps because they are fast; we miter the wood for a clean, traditional look.
Stainless Steel Fastening
We only use 304 or 316-grade stainless steel nails. Using galvanized nails on cedar is a mistake because the tannins in the wood react with the zinc, causing ugly black streaks that you can't wash off.
Rainwood also offers interior renovations. Contact us to discuss your project.

Years Experience
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.

FAQ
A full re-side usually runs 7 to 12 working days. Weather is the only variable we can’t control.
If we are just replacing boards, usually no. If we are doing significant structural repair or changing the wall assembly, we coordinate with the City of Marysville to ensure everything is code-compliant.
It’s the process of sealing the back side of the cedar board before installation. It prevents the wood from “cupping” when the sun hits the front. We highly recommend it for Woodinville’s climate.
Absolutely, but only if you use the right fasteners. Marysville gets some stiff gusts coming off the water, and we’ve seen siding “rattle” or even pull loose because someone used smooth-shank nails. We use stainless steel ring-shank nails – they act like a screw and stay put. Cedar is naturally resilient to the PNW climate, but in wind-prone spots, we pay extra attention to the overlap (lap) dimensions to ensure driving rain doesn’t get forced upward behind the boards.
