Cedar Siding Repair & Refinish - Siding service by Quality Master Roofing & Remodel in Vancouver, WA

PNW cedar deserves to last. We spot-replace damaged boards, treat for rot, and refinish so the original look stays intact rather than ripping it all off.

Trim, Corners, Fascia & Soffit - Siding service by Quality Master Roofing & Remodel in Vancouver, WA

Trim, Corners, Fascia & Soffit

A siding job is only as good as the trim. We replace rotted corner boards, fascia, soffit, and window/door trim during every install - usually with HardieTrim for matching durability.

Siding materials

Hardie vs LP vs vinyl vs cedar - what makes sense for your house.

The PNW climate is hard on siding - wet winters, UV-heavy summers, and freeze-thaw cycles. Material choice determines whether you're looking at 30+ years of low maintenance or 10 years of repaints and rot repair.

James Hardie Fiber Cement

HardiePlank lap siding · HardieShingle siding · HardiePanel vertical siding · HardieTrim boards

Cement-and-cellulose composite. Won't rot, won't burn, holds paint, and stands up to PNW weather better than any wood-based product. Industry standard for fiber cement.

Lifespan

30+ years (manufacturer warranty)

Pros

  • Will not rot, warp, or burn
  • 30-year limited transferable warranty
  • Holds factory paint 15+ years (longer than wood + repaint cycles)
  • Termite and pest resistant
  • Class A fire rating

Trade-offs

  • Heavy - adds labor cost vs. lighter products
  • Requires precise blind-nailing and gap spec to keep warranty (which is why James Hardie certifies installers)
  • Higher up-front cost than vinyl or LP

Best for

Owners staying long-term, premium curb appeal, fire-prone hillsides (Camas, Felida).

LP SmartSide Engineered Wood

LP SmartSide Trim & Siding · LP SmartSide ExpertFinish (pre-finished)

Engineered wood treated with zinc borate (anti-rot, anti-termite) and pre-primed at the factory. Lighter and faster to install than Hardie, with a strong substrate warranty.

Lifespan

50 years (substrate); paint cycles every 7–12 years

Pros

  • 50-year limited substrate warranty
  • Lighter than Hardie - faster install, lower labor cost
  • Pre-primed (no jobsite priming needed)
  • 5-year prefinished paint warranty on ExpertFinish line
  • Lower up-front cost than Hardie

Trade-offs

  • Wood-based - long-term performance not as proven as fiber cement in PNW climate
  • Edges still need careful caulking and flashing for water management

Best for

Budget-conscious projects, rentals, or homes where the owner wants Hardie-like durability without the Hardie price.

Vinyl Siding

Various PNW-distributed brands

Modern PVC siding profiles. Lower-cost, low-maintenance option. The look of modern vinyl is significantly better than 1990s-era products, but it's still vinyl.

Lifespan

20–40 years

Pros

  • Lowest installed cost
  • No painting ever
  • 20–40 year limited warranties common
  • Wide color range (color is through-body, won't chip)

Trade-offs

  • Can crack in extreme cold or fade in heavy UV
  • Not as durable as fiber cement in impact scenarios
  • Less premium curb appeal than Hardie or LP

Best for

Rentals, investment properties, owners prioritizing low cost and low maintenance.

Cedar Repair & Refinish

Western red cedar (PNW-sourced)

We don't typically install new cedar siding (the maintenance burden is high in PNW), but we repair existing cedar - spot-replacing rotted boards, treating for water damage, and refinishing.

Lifespan

Indefinite with maintenance; failure points show 15–25 years

Pros

  • Authentic PNW look
  • Repair-friendly when caught early

Trade-offs

  • High maintenance: refinish every 3–5 years
  • Vulnerable to rot, insects, and woodpeckers
  • Cost-to-lifespan math rarely beats Hardie

Best for

Historic homes where the original cedar is structurally sound and the owner is committed to maintenance.

Siding process

From color consult to James Hardie warranty registration.

Typical timeline: 1–3 weeks for most full-house wraps.

  1. 1

    Free Inspection & Color Consult

    We walk the house, photograph existing siding (especially trouble areas - rot at the base, around windows, behind downspouts), and bring color samples. You see what you'd be getting before signing.

  2. 2

    Written Estimate

    Itemized quote with allowances for trim replacement, sheathing repair (siding tear-offs often uncover rot), paint/finish line, and the labor/material breakdown. No surprise upcharges.

  3. 3

    Permits & Materials Order

    We pull the permit (City office for incorporated, Clark County for unincorporated) and order materials. James Hardie usually arrives in 1–2 weeks; LP and vinyl are typically faster.

  4. 4

    Tear-Off, Wrap, Flashing

    Existing siding comes off. We re-wrap the wall in Tyvek or DuPont CommercialWrap, pan-flash every window opening, install Z-flashing where needed, and address any rotted sheathing. Photos at every step.

  5. 5

    Field Siding + Trim Install

    Hardie blind-nailed to manufacturer spec (or LP / vinyl per their specs), HardieTrim corner boards and window/door surrounds, and back-caulked seams. Painters or finishers next if not pre-finished.

  6. 6

    Final Walk + Warranty Registration

    Victor walks the project before sign-off. We register the install with James Hardie (for Hardie installs) so your full 30-year warranty is on file. You get the registration plus our workmanship warranty.

"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 FAQ

Hardie install methods, warranties, and what we find when old siding comes off.

15 of the most common siding questions we hear from Clark County homeowners.

How much does James Hardie siding cost in Vancouver, WA?

Free written estimate per project. Pricing varies with home size, prep work, trim allowances, sheathing repair needs, and color choice (pre-finished ColorPlus vs. primed). Contact us for a quote on your specific project.

Do you do siding repair in Vancouver, WA?

Yes - siding repair is a core service. We spot-replace rotted Hardie, LP, vinyl, and cedar boards, rebuild rotted corner boards and trim, fix water damage behind downspouts and around windows, and color-match where we can. Many Vancouver homes don't need a full re-side - a targeted siding repair solves the problem for far less.

What sets Quality Master apart from other siding companies in Vancouver, WA?

We're a family-owned siding company that does whole-envelope work - trim, corner boards, soffit, and fascia included - not just the field siding most siding companies install. We're certified James Hardie installers, we handle both new siding and siding repair, and the same crew also does your roof and gutters so the details tie together correctly.

Are you a certified James Hardie installer?

Yes. Quality Master is a James Hardie certified installer, which means we follow Hardie's blind-nailing patterns, gap requirements, and flashing details to maintain the manufacturer's full 30-year warranty on both materials and workmanship. Cut shortcuts on a Hardie install and you can void the warranty - we don't.

How long does Hardie siding last?

James Hardie carries a 30-year limited transferable warranty on the substrate. In practice, properly installed Hardie holds up well for 30+ years in PNW climate - the paint typically needs touch-up every 15+ years, but the boards themselves don't rot, warp, or fail.

Can you match my existing siding for a repair?

Most of the time, yes. We carry common Hardie, LP, and vinyl profiles and color-match where we can. For weathered cedar, partial replacement plus refinishing is often the right answer.

Do you replace trim, corner boards, and fascia during a siding job?

Yes - we do whole-envelope work, not just the field siding. Trim, corners, soffit, fascia, and flashing all get inspected and replaced where needed. We typically use HardieTrim for matching 30-year durability.

Do you handle siding storm or impact damage?

Yes. Free post-storm inspection, photo and drone documentation, and direct work with your insurance adjuster on covered claims (hail, wind, tree impact, vehicle impact).

How long does a full-house siding install take?

1–3 weeks for most full-house wraps. Day 1–2: tear-off and wall wrap. Days 3–10: field siding install. Days 10–15: trim, caulk, paint touch-up, and final walk. We coordinate weather windows for the wrap and paint phases.

Do I need a permit for siding in Clark County?

Most siding projects require a permit in Clark County and the incorporated cities. We pull the permit (City office for Vancouver/Camas/etc., Clark County for unincorporated) and coordinate inspections. Permit fees and timing vary by jurisdiction.

What is LP SmartSide vs. James Hardie?

LP SmartSide is engineered wood treated for rot/termite resistance and pre-primed. Hardie is fiber cement (cement + cellulose). LP is lighter, faster to install, and lower cost; Hardie is more durable long-term and more fire-resistant. For Clark County we typically recommend Hardie when budget allows and LP when it doesn't.

Can you re-side my home in winter?

Yes, with weather contingencies. Hardie can be installed in cold but not in active rain. We tarp aggressively and schedule around forecasted dry days. Most owners prefer late spring through early fall for siding projects.

Do you find hidden rot under existing siding?

Often, yes - especially on pre-1980 homes. Cedar that's been painted multiple times can hide rot at the bottom edges, around windows, and behind downspouts. We don't find every hidden problem during the estimate (it requires removing siding to confirm), but we always include rot-repair allowances in the estimate so there are no surprises.

Do you handle the painting of new Hardie siding?

For pre-finished ColorPlus Hardie we don't need to paint - the factory finish is warranted for 15 years. For primed-only Hardie we coordinate with painters or can refer one. The pre-finished route adds upfront cost but eliminates the paint cycle.

What's the right siding for a Camas hillside home?

Hardie fiber cement, almost always. Camas hillsides see strong UV exposure on south-facing slopes, occasional gorge-corridor wind, and the Camas housing market expects Hardie for resale. We've installed a lot of Hardie in Prune Hill, Lacamas Heights, and Grass Valley.
