Durable & Stylish Siding Solutions in Olympia, WA

Your home’s exterior is its first line of defense against Thurston County’s rainy climate, and quality siding not only protects your structure but also boosts curb appeal. At Mountain Peak Construction, we specialize in siding installations that blend durability with design, ensuring your Olympia residence looks and performs its best for years to come.

Why Update Your Siding?

Old or damaged siding can lead to moisture intrusion, increased energy bills, and reduced home value. Homeowners choose to replace siding to:

• Prevent Water Damage: Cracks or gaps in aged siding allow water to seep behind walls, leading to rot and mold.

• Improve Energy Efficiency: Modern siding materials paired with proper insulation help maintain consistent indoor temperatures.

• Boost Curb Appeal: A fresh color and updated style can transform a home’s exterior appearance.

• Minimize Maintenance: Durable options like fiber cement and engineered wood require less frequent painting and repairs.

Just as our bathroom remodels enhance interior comfort and style, a siding upgrade elevates your home’s exterior—protecting both beauty and structure.

Popular Siding Materials for Olympia Homes

1. Fiber Cement Combining cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, fiber cement resists moisture, pests, and fire. It mimics the look of wood or stucco without the upkeep. When paired with our cabinet installs, you can create a seamless transition from interior to exterior finishes.

2. Engineered Wood Engineered wood siding delivers the warmth of natural wood with greater dimensional stability. It stands up better to Olympia’s humidity than traditional lumber and complements our kitchen remodels when you bring that same warm aesthetic indoors.

3. Vinyl Siding Vinyl is cost-effective, low-maintenance, and available in a wide range of colors. It’s an excellent choice if you’re balancing budget with performance, much like choosing luxury vinyl plank flooring for moisture-prone areas.

4. Stucco & EIFSA classic yet versatile finish, stucco—especially in its Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) form—provides seamless insulation and a smooth look. It makes a striking complement to our tile work when creating unified design themes.

Pro Tip

“Choose siding colors that coordinate with your roof and trim; using a neutral primary color and a bold accent on doors or shutters can make architectural features pop.”

The Siding Installation Process

1. Inspection & Preparation We assess your existing siding, check for moisture damage, and ensure proper sheathing and insulation are in place. This mirrors how we inspect subfloors before any new flooring install.

2. Material Selection & Ordering Our design team helps you select materials, colors, and textures that match your home’s style and performance needs. Once ordered, items are delivered and staged at your site.

3. Removal of Old Siding We carefully strip away existing siding, repair sheathing, and address any structural issues. This step is as thorough as our demolition phase in a bathroom remodel, ensuring a solid foundation.

4. Installation & Sealing Siding panels are affixed securely, fasteners are hidden, and seams are sealed to prevent water intrusion. We finish with trim and flashing details to integrate with your windows and doors flawlessly.

5. Final Inspection & Cleanup A thorough walkthrough confirms every board is properly aligned, caulking is complete, and your exterior is primed for longevity. We leave your property clean and ready to enjoy.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Siding

• Visible Cracks or Warping: Panels that warp or crack indicate material fatigue.

• Fungal Growth or Decay: Signs of mold or wood rot behind the siding mean moisture penetration.

• Peeling Paint or Finish: Frequent repainting needs suggest the underlying material is failing.

• Drafts and High Energy Bills: Poor insulation performance often shows up as uneven temperatures indoors.

• Outdated Appearance: If your siding color or style feels out of date, a refresh can modernize your home’s look.

Maintenance Tips for Longevity

• Annual Inspection: Check for loose panels, damaged caulking, or signs of moisture.

• Gentle Cleaning: Rinse vinyl and fiber cement with a garden hose; avoid pressure washing to prevent damage.

• Repainting Schedule: Engineered wood and fiber cement may need repainting every 8–15 years, depending on exposure.

• Gutter Upkeep: Keep gutters clear to prevent water overflow onto siding surfaces.
