Siding Materials We Install
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding provides the appearance of painted wood with excellent resistance to moisture, fire, insects, and deterioration. It is a durable, low-maintenance option well suited to homes in the Pacific Northwest.
Fiber cement is available in horizontal lap siding, panels, board-and-batten designs, and shingle-style accents.
Engineered Wood Siding
Engineered wood siding offers the warmth and texture of natural wood with improved consistency and resistance to moisture and pests. It is available in several profiles and can create both traditional and modern exterior designs.
Cedar and Wood Siding
Natural cedar provides warmth, character, and a timeless appearance. Proper installation, flashing, finishing, and ongoing maintenance are especially important for wood siding in the South Sound’s wet climate.
We install horizontal wood siding, vertical siding, cedar shingles, and selected wood accent applications.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is an affordable, low-maintenance option that does not require regular painting. It is available in numerous colors and profiles and can be a practical choice for homeowners looking to update and protect their exterior.
Complete Siding Installation
A siding project involves much more than fastening new boards to the wall. The materials behind the siding are responsible for directing water away from the structure and helping the wall dry properly.
Depending on the project, our siding work may include:
Removal and disposal of existing siding
Inspection of the exposed sheathing and framing
Localized wood rot and structural repairs
Replacement of damaged exterior sheathing
Installation of a weather-resistant barrier
Window and door flashing
Rainscreen installation when included in the project
New siding installation
Window, door, and corner trim
Fascia, soffit, and exterior accent details
Caulking and preparation for paint
Exterior painting when included in the scope
Siding Replacement and Hidden Rot
Rot and water damage are often discovered after the existing siding is removed. Common problem areas include window openings, roof-to-wall intersections, deck connections, inside corners, and areas where siding has been installed too close to roofs, soil, or concrete.
If damaged sheathing or framing is uncovered, Vicna Renovations can document the affected area, explain the necessary repairs, and rebuild it before installing the new exterior.
We do not knowingly conceal rotten materials behind new siding.
Our Siding Installation Process
1. Exterior Evaluation
We inspect the home, discuss your goals, review the existing siding, and identify visible areas of damage or concern.
2. Material and Design Selection
We help you compare siding materials, profiles, exposure sizes, colors, trim details, and accent options.
3. Removal and Inspection
Existing siding is removed as specified in the estimate. Once the wall is exposed, we inspect accessible sheathing and framing for concealed damage.
4. Repairs and Weatherproofing
Necessary repairs are completed before installing the weather-resistant barrier, flashing, rainscreen components, and other water-management details included in the project.
5. Siding and Trim Installation
The selected siding, outside corners, window and door trim, transitions, and exterior details are installed according to the approved scope and applicable manufacturer requirements.
6. Finishing and Cleanup
The exterior is prepared for paint or completed with factory-finished materials, depending on the selected siding system. The work area is cleaned and the completed project is reviewed with the homeowner.
Full Replacement or Localized Siding Repair?
Not every damaged exterior requires a complete re-side. When the surrounding materials are still serviceable, we may be able to replace a localized section of siding and repair the underlying damage.
A full siding replacement may be the better option when:
Damage is present across several elevations
The existing siding is approaching the end of its service life
Numerous repairs have already been completed
The weather barrier or flashing is failing throughout the exterior
Matching the existing siding is no longer practical
The homeowner wants a complete exterior transformation
We will explain the available options so you can make an informed decision for your home and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which siding material is best for Western Washington?
Fiber cement and engineered wood are both popular choices for Western Washington homes. The best option depends on the home, desired appearance, maintenance expectations, and budget. Correct installation and water management are just as important as the siding material itself.
Do you install James Hardie siding?
We install fiber cement siding, including commonly selected James Hardie products, when specified for the project.
Can you repair only one section of siding?
Yes, when localized repair is practical. The existing siding’s condition, availability, color, profile, and installation details will determine whether the repaired area can blend successfully with the surrounding exterior.
What happens if you discover rot after removing the siding?
We document the accessible damage and discuss the necessary repair scope before covering the area. Rotten sheathing or framing must be repaired so the new siding is installed over a sound structure.
Do you install a weather barrier behind the siding?
Yes. Siding should be integrated with an appropriate weather-resistant barrier and properly detailed flashing. The exact assembly depends on the existing home, siding product, and project scope.
Do you install rainscreens?
Yes, rainscreen components can be included when appropriate or required for the selected siding assembly. A rainscreen creates a drainage and drying space behind the siding.
Do you handle trim and exterior painting?
Trim, outside corners, window and door details, caulking, and painting can be included in the estimate. The exact finishing scope will be clearly listed in the proposal.
Which areas do you serve?
Vicna Renovations serves Tacoma, Puyallup, Olympia, and surrounding communities throughout the South Sound.
