"Victor discovered that the Hardie Plank was too thin and the nails were going through the boards. He was honest and told me this instead of pretending to do the job. I especially appreciated his honesty."

Siding work in Camas at a glance
Quality Master installs siding across Camas, WA. Most of that work is full James Hardie wraps on hillside custom homes in Prune Hill, Lacamas Heights, and Grass Valley. We are a certified James Hardie installer and follow the blind-nailing and clearance specs that keep the 30-year manufacturer warranty intact. Camas elevations catch more wind than lowland Vancouver, so fastening schedule matters more here than the color does. Seamless gutters go on the same trip, because the fascia is already open.

Siding in Camas
Siding Camas, WA: elevation, wind, and a lot of wall area.
Camas houses are tall. The custom and semi-custom stock through Prune Hill, Lacamas Heights, and Grass Valley was built into a hillside, which means two- and three-story elevations, dormers, and gable ends that carry a lot of square footage of wall. A Hardie job here is rarely the 1,400 square feet a comparable Orchards ranch takes. That changes staging, scaffold, and how long the house is open, and it is the main reason a Camas siding quote reads differently from one written five miles west.
The wind is the other difference. Camas hilltops sit above the lowland fog line and catch gorge-edge gusts that lowland Vancouver does not, which is the same reason we spec 130-mph wind-rated shingles on Camas roofing work. On siding it shows up in the fastening schedule: blind-nailed Hardie at the manufacturer's tighter stud spacing rather than the minimum, and a hard look at every corner board and rake where uplift concentrates.
Fiber cement earns its place on the Lacamas side for a second reason. Lots backing the greenbelt and the Lacamas Lake trail system sit against standing timber, and James Hardie fiber cement is non-combustible where cedar and engineered wood are not. Owners on those streets tend to already know this. It is worth saying plainly rather than selling around.
The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions - Camas Meadows, Forest Home, Dawson's Ridge - are a different job. Those went up with builder-grade lap siding and a lot of them are now at the age where the butt joints have opened and the trim has gone soft before the field siding has. That is a repair-and-replace conversation, not a full wrap, and we will say so if that is what the house needs. Whichever way it goes, the seamless gutter runs come off and go back on with the fascia, and full James Hardie and LP SmartSide specifications live on the main siding page.

Before you hire anyone
What Camas homeowners ask us before signing.
What happens when you find rot underneath?
We open a section before quoting, not after, so you see what is there. The repair rate goes in the written estimate up front, which turns a bad discovery into a number you already agreed rather than a renegotiation with your house half wrapped.
Will the James Hardie warranty actually hold?
Only if it is installed to Hardie's published blind-nailing, clearance and gap specs, and only by a certified installer. We are certified and we build to those specs. An uncertified crew can leave you with siding that looks right and coverage that was void from day one.
How long is my house going to be open?
We work one elevation at a time and dry it in before moving on, so the house is never open across the board. We give a written day count with the estimate rather than a range, and we schedule around forecasted dry days.
Are you licensed here?

Camas siding FAQ
Siding contractor Camas, WA questions, answered.
Do you install James Hardie siding in Camas?
Yes, and Camas is our highest-volume Hardie market. We are a certified James Hardie installer, which means we follow Hardie's published blind-nailing pattern, clearance-to-grade, and gap specifications. Those are the details the manufacturer warranty is written against, and skipping them is how a homeowner finds out years later that the 30-year coverage was void from day one.
Why does fiber cement come up so often on Lacamas Lake lots?
Because James Hardie fiber cement is non-combustible and the lots on that side back onto standing timber and the greenbelt. Cedar and engineered wood products are not. It is not the only reason to pick Hardie here, but on those specific streets it is usually the one that settles the decision.
How does Camas wind exposure change a siding install?
It changes the fastening schedule and where we spend time. Camas hilltops in Prune Hill and Lacamas Heights catch gorge-edge gusts that lowland Vancouver is sheltered from. We blind-nail to the tighter end of Hardie's stud spacing rather than the minimum, and we pay particular attention to corner boards, rake trim, and gable ends, which is where uplift concentrates and where failures start.
My Camas Meadows house has failing lap siding. Do I need a full re-side?
Often not. The 1990s and 2000s Camas subdivisions typically fail at the butt joints and the trim before the field siding gives out, so the repair scope can be a fraction of a full wrap. We will open a few joints, check the sheathing and housewrap behind, and tell you which it is. If the field siding is sound we will say so.
Do I need a permit for siding in Camas?
Siding replacement on its own usually does not require a building permit from the City of Camas, but any structural work found underneath does - and on older homes we do find it. Camas runs its own Building Department separate from Clark County. We pull whatever the scope turns out to need.
Can you do the gutters at the same time as the siding?
Yes, and it is the cheaper way to sequence it. The gutters have to come off to get at the fascia anyway. Putting new seamless runs back on while the scaffold is still standing avoids paying twice for the same access.
How long does a Camas Hardie job take?
Longer than the same job in a flatter neighborhood, because Camas houses are taller and have more wall area. Scaffold setup and takedown on a hillside three-story is a meaningful share of the schedule. We give a written day count with the estimate rather than a range, so you know what you are planning around.
