Your Home's First Line of Defense Against the Weather
Windows and siding are the two things standing between a Northwest winter and your framing. When they're doing their job you don't think about them. When they aren't, you feel it in three ways: drafts near the glass, a heating bill that climbs every year, and eventually soft spots in the sheathing behind the siding where water has been getting in.
A lot of homes around Vancouver and Hazel Dell still have original aluminum-frame or early double-pane windows from the 70s and 80s. Those seals fail — that's the fog you see between the panes — and once they do, the window is a single pane with extra steps. Replacement units with modern low-E glass and warm-edge spacers make an immediate, noticeable difference in the rooms you actually sit in.
On siding we install vinyl and fiber cement, and we care as much about what goes behind it as what you see. House wrap, flashing at every window and door head, and proper clearance at grade. That detail work is invisible on day one and is exactly what determines whether your siding looks good in year fifteen.

Signs It's Time to Call
If any of these sound like your home, it's worth a free look before the problem grows.
Fog or moisture between the panes
That's a failed seal. The insulating gas is gone and the window is doing roughly the job of a single pane. It can't be resealed — the sash needs replacing.
You can feel a draft standing near a window
Air moving past a closed window means the sash, weatherstripping, or the seal around the frame has given up. It's also the easiest heat loss in the house to fix.
Siding that's cracked, buckled, or chalky
Vinyl that ripples in the sun has usually been installed too tight. Chalk on your hand after touching painted siding means the finish is spent and no longer shedding water.
Soft spots when you press on the siding
If a wall gives under thumb pressure, water has reached the sheathing. This is the one on this list that gets expensive fast if it waits.
Paint that won't stay on the wood
Repainting siding that peels again within two years usually means moisture is coming from behind. At that point new siding costs less than another two paint cycles.
Windows that stick, sag, or won't stay open
Beyond the annoyance, a window that doesn't seat properly doesn't seal properly — and in a bedroom it's also an egress concern.
How the Job Runs, Start to Finish
No mystery, no surprise invoices. Here's exactly what happens after you reach out.
On-site measure & product walkthrough
We measure every opening ourselves and show you the actual options — frame material, glass package, siding profile and color — with the cost difference for each.
Order & lead time
Replacement windows are built to your measurements, so there's a manufacturing lead time. We tell you what it is up front and schedule install around the confirmed delivery date.
Removal & weatherproofing
Old units come out, openings get inspected for rot, and everything gets flashed and sealed before the new product goes in. Any wall we open in the afternoon is closed by the end of the day.
Trim, caulk & cleanup
Interior and exterior trim, final caulking, operation check on every window, and a full site cleanup. We walk it with you before we invoice.
What Affects the Price
Windows and siding are both priced by the piece and by the wall, and the variables are easy to explain. Here's what changes the number — and where spending more actually pays you back.
Talk numbers: (360) 718-6290Number and size of openings
Windows price individually. A large picture window or a slider costs several times what a small bathroom unit does.
Frame and glass package
Vinyl is the value choice, fiberglass and wood-clad cost more. Low-E coatings and gas fills add cost and pay it back in comfort.
Siding material
Vinyl is the most affordable. Fiber cement costs more to buy and install because it's heavier and needs specialized cutting, but it holds paint and shrugs off our weather.
Wall square footage and stories
Two-story walls need staging, which adds labor. Complex rooflines with dormers and gables have more cuts than a simple rectangle.
What we find underneath
Rotten sheathing or damaged framing has to be repaired before new siding goes on. We quote a rate for it up front so it's never a surprise.
Trim, wrap and details
Aluminum-wrapped trim, custom window surrounds, and matching soffit work are where a job goes from finished to sharp.
