THE PROJECT, WEEK BY WEEK

What a San Juan Island Re-Side Actually Looks Like

From first walkthrough to final city inspection — the sequence is the same on every home; only the rot repair in the middle varies.

1

On-Site Estimate & Written Bid

WEEK 0

We walk every elevation of your San Juan Island home — and the driveway, staging, and access that come with an out-island parcel — then write an itemized bid specific to the house.

2

Permit, Shoreline Check & Materials

WEEKS 1–3 BEFORE START

San Juan County permit pulled if your scope needs one, shoreline review confirmed per parcel where it applies, and materials ordered with measured overage — our supplier delivers everything to your site by ferry before day one.

3

Tear-Off & Sheathing Inspection

DAYS 1–3

Our crew rides the sailing over to a site already stocked, and old siding comes off completely. Sheathing and framing get inspected wall by wall; any rot is photographed and priced for your approval before rebuild.

4

Weather Barrier, Flashing & New Siding

DAY 3 ONWARD — PACED TO THE PROJECT

The layers that matter go on: weather barrier lapped for wind-driven rain, flashing at every penetration, then siding fastened to manufacturer spec — corrosion-rated on strait-facing walls. Walls are dried in the same day they're opened.

5

Cleanup, County Inspection & Walkthrough

FINAL DAYS

Magnet sweep and full site cleanup, final county inspection passed, and a walkthrough with you — touch-ups handled on the spot, warranty paperwork in hand.

What Drives the Price of a San Juan Island Re-Side

No two bids should look alike, because no two houses do. In San Juan Island the big variables are the ones below — and every one of them is itemized in your written estimate, so you can see exactly where the number comes from.

Home Size & Stories
Wall area drives material; height drives staging and labor. West-side exposure moves the hardware spec before anything else does.
Housing Era
Pre-1978 homes need lead-safe practices (we're a certified firm); the valleys' homestead-era farmhouses carry original wood that takes more care than 1990s profiles.
Rot Repair
The genuine unknown. Strait-facing walls usually carry some — photographed and priced before rebuild, never buried in the bid.
Material Choice
Fiber cement costs more per square foot than engineered wood but ends the repaint cycle. We quote options side by side so the trade-off is yours.
What We Find Under San Juan Island Homes

Out-island walls tell you their exposure the moment they're opened: west-facing elevations above Haro Strait carry bottom-course rot and corroded fasteners years ahead of the sheltered sides, farmhouse walls hide original sills soft after a century of weather, and view homes often reveal flashing detailed for a calmer climate than the strait delivers.

Whatever we find is photographed and priced before rebuild — never a surprise on the invoice.

Can You Re-Side in the Rainy Season?

Yes — we re-side San Juan Island homes year-round. Walls are opened in sections and dried in the same day, never left exposed overnight. Winter scheduling is often faster to book; the detailing that keeps a wall dry for thirty years doesn't care what month it went on.

WHY WE RECOMMEND FIBER CEMENT

Our Recommendation for San Juan Island: 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 San Juan Island. 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 San Juan Island homes, Hardie is the answer we’d put on our own house.

THE HONEST NUMBERS
01 · PRICING

What Siding Replacement Costs in San Juan Island

Most single-family whole-home projects typically land between $20,000 and $60,000. Home size and stories move the number most; the other big lever is combining windows with the re-side — window replacement runs typically 25%+ less per window during a siding project, since demolition, disposal, and admin overhead are already covered.

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 — rot is photographed and priced before rebuild, never buried. Financing options are available.

02 · TIMELINE

How Long a Re-Side Takes

Typically one to four weeks on site for a full home, depending on size, sheathing condition, how much rot we find, and whether we're painting.

The schedule is written into the bid, and the final inspection is part of it — the job is not done until it passes.

03 · WARRANTIES

What Stands Behind the Work

James Hardie siding carries a 30-year substrate warranty, with ColorPlus finishes warranted for 15 years.

Our own workmanship warranty is included on every project — terms spelled out in your bid.
