Every service below has its own Granite Falls page — the old-grid-to-new-tract housing mix here, City of Granite Falls permit notes, and what foothill rain asks of an install.
This is the work Granite Falls homes ask of us — from Granite Ave's old grid to the newer subdivisions. Flip through and picture your home next.
Get a Free Estimate →Granite Falls gets foothill weather in full: more rain than the valley towns below, evergreen shade that keeps north walls wet year-round, and real winter days the lowlands skip. The stock splits between the old grid — homes from the town's 1890s–1920s railroad-and-mill years, patched for generations — and the subdivision waves that came when Granite Falls became a bedroom community in the '90s and 2000s, roughly doubling the town and aging out of builder-grade materials on schedule.
In town, permits run through the City of Granite Falls at City Hall on South Granite Avenue, and we handle the paperwork start to finish. Robe Valley and the Mountain Loop roads are county jurisdiction, where like-for-like re-siding is permit-exempt — we confirm per address.

No pressure, no jargon — a clear path from first call to final inspection.
Call (360) 296-9380 or send the form — tell us a little about your home and what's failing.
We measure at your home, open up anything suspicious with your OK, and write a bid specific to your house — minimal boilerplate.
Permits pulled, work scheduled around the weather, and the final inspection passed before we call it finished.
Every bid is measured on site and itemized — these are the factors that actually change the number.
Wall area drives material; height drives scaffold time — and the foothill weather window shapes the schedule honestly.
Siding replacement →What's behind the old siding is the honest unknown — we scope known rot into the bid and price discovered rot transparently, per repair.
Rot repair →Hardie ColorPlus, primed fiber cement, or engineered wood — we quote options side by side so you see the real difference.
Compare materials →Combining siding and windows saves one full mobilization and gets properly integrated flashing — the cheapest time to do windows is during a re-side.
Window replacement →Granite Falls was built as a gateway. Platted in 1891 where an old Coast Salish portage crossed between the Pilchuck and the South Fork Stillaguamish, the town existed because the Everett & Monte Cristo Railway needed a route to the gold and silver mines upriver — the rails arrived in October 1892, and lumber mills, including a tie mill cutting for the railroad itself, went up alongside. When Granite Falls incorporated in December 1903 it held about 600 people, and the homes of those years still line the grid off Granite Avenue: simple mill-era frame houses under a century of paint and patch repairs.
The mines played out and the railroad faded by the 1930s, and for most of a century Granite Falls stayed a small timber-and-gravel town at the mouth of the Mountain Loop Highway — the old rail grade's successor. The mid-century decades added modest infill to the grid, but not much of it; as late as 1990 the town counted under a thousand people.
Then the growth came all at once. As Everett and Lake Stevens commuters pushed east, Granite Falls nearly doubled between 2000 and 2020 — subdivision waves of the late '90s and 2000s wrapped the old grid in builder-grade hardboard, early fiber cement, and vinyl windows that are now aging out together, a street at a time.
That leaves two kinds of walls in one small town, both under foothill weather the lowlands don't get: century-old boards that need probing and profile matching, and 20-to-30-year-old tracts due for their first full re-side. We bid to the era — and to the rain gauge.
