What Martha Lake's Weather and Housing Stock Do to Siding
Martha Lake's weather is inland wet-side, not coastal: months of soaking southwesterly rain driving into south- and west-facing walls, morning fog that hangs over the lake basin and keeps shore-lot siding damp late into the day, and fence-line shade on tight subdivision lots that lets moss work all year. North walls here simply never fully dry between October and May.
Most of Martha Lake went up in two pushes — the '80s and the '90s — on cul-de-sacs around the lake, along 164th, and up Ash Way. Around the water sits a ring of older places that began as resort-era cottages and grew additions for decades. Two very different failure stories, and each gets its own plan.
What we see most in Martha Lake: '80s T1-11 and hardboard panels swelling and delaminating at their bottom edges, '90s LP-era boards wicking water at butt joints and window heads, and lake-ring walls where layered remodels routed water into the framing instead of away from it. None of it is cosmetic — by the time siding shows these signs, water is usually getting behind it.
…and everywhere else inside city limits, plus surrounding Snohomish County.
What New Siding Returns on a Martha Lake Home
Martha Lake's housing market rewards exterior condition — buyers compare street by street, and appraisers see siding before they see anything else. National cost-vs-value data consistently ranks fiber cement siding replacement among the highest-returning exterior projects at resale, and in a wet-climate market, "recently re-sided" answers the first question every inspector asks.
What your project costs depends on material, home size, and stories — and on what we find under the old siding. That's why every bid is measured on site and itemized: the number you approve is the number you pay, with rot repair priced transparently if we find it.
What We Recommend for Martha Lake Walls
For most Martha Lake homes, fiber cement — it ends the swell-and-repaint cycle that killed the original builder boards and shrugs off lake-basin damp. On the older lake-ring places, lap and shingle profiles keep the cottage look in a material that doesn't rot at the bottom course.
One thing we don't install: vinyl siding. In this climate it traps moisture against the wall and fails in ways we're not willing to warranty. If budget is the driver, we'd rather show you an engineered-wood option that actually holds up here.

Our Recommendation for Martha Lake: James Hardie Fiber Cement
We install several siding materials, and we recommend fiber cement — James Hardie specifically — for nearly every home we work on in Martha Lake. In a wind-driven-rain state, fiber cement doesn’t rot, doesn’t feed moss, doesn’t warp, and shrugs off the freeze-thaw cycles that crack lesser boards. It carries a 30-year substrate warranty, and ColorPlus factory finishes hold their color for 15 warranted years without repainting.
As a James Hardie Elite Contractor we install to the spec that keeps that warranty valid — fastening, clearances, and flashing details checked on every wall. If a different material genuinely fits your project better, we’ll say so plainly in the bid — but for most Martha Lake homes, Hardie is the answer we’d put on our own house.
What Exterior Work Costs in Martha Lake
Most single-family whole-home siding replacements typically land between $20,000 and $60,000, driven mainly by home size and stories. Window replacement typically runs $900–$2,500 per window installed depending on brand, type, and size — and typically 25%+ less per window when replaced during a re-side, since demolition, disposal, and administrative overhead are already carried by the siding project.
Nationally, fiber cement siding replacement is one of the best-returning exterior projects at resale — recent Cost vs. Value Report data puts its cost recoup above 100% (a national figure; local results vary). Every bid is measured at your home and itemized line by line — the ranges are for orientation, not quotes. Financing options are available.
What Stands Behind the Work
James Hardie siding carries a 30-year substrate warranty, with ColorPlus finishes warranted for 15 years. Windows carry the full manufacturer warranty.
On top of the product coverage, our own workmanship warranty is included on every project; the terms are spelled out in your bid.
How Long It Takes
A full home siding replacement typically runs one to four weeks on site depending on size, sheathing condition, rot, and whether we're painting. A whole-home window replacement typically runs three to seven days — full-frame nail-flange replacement, not pocket inserts, which takes longer and is worth it.
Your schedule is in the bid before work starts, and the final inspection is part of it.
