Transform Your Home’s Exterior with Professional Siding
Your home’s siding serves as both armor and artwork, protecting your investment while defining its character. At Best Solutions Roofing & Siding, we understand that choosing the right siding involves balancing durability, aesthetics, and value. Our experienced siding contractors bring decades of combined experience to every siding project, ensuring your home receives the protection and beauty it deserves.
Modern siding technology has evolved dramatically from the simple wood planks of yesteryear. Today’s materials offer superior weather resistance, energy efficiency, and design flexibility that can dramatically enhance your property’s curb appeal and market value. Whether you’re building new construction or revitalizing an existing structure, proper siding installation makes the difference between a house that merely stands and one that truly shines.
Comprehensive Siding Materials and Options
We specialize in installing various siding materials, each offering unique benefits for homeowners throughout Centralia, Chehalis, Fords Prairie, Grand Mound, & Rochester, WA. Vinyl siding remains the most popular choice, accounting for approximately 30% of the residential siding market due to its affordability and low maintenance requirements. Premium vinyl options now feature enhanced thickness ratings between 0.044 and 0.055 inches, providing superior impact resistance and dimensional stability even in extreme temperature fluctuations.
Fiber cement siding represents another excellent option, combining the aesthetic appeal of wood with exceptional durability. This engineered material resists rot, insects, and fire while maintaining its appearance for decades. James Hardie products, which we frequently install, carry 30-year warranties and can withstand winds up to 150 mph. The material’s composition of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers creates a stable substrate that accepts paint beautifully and holds color longer than traditional materials.
Professional Installation Process and Techniques
Our installation process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing exterior walls, identifying any structural issues or moisture damage that require attention before new siding application. We remove old siding carefully, preserving underlying sheathing whenever possible while checking for signs of water infiltration or pest damage. This critical step often reveals hidden problems that, when addressed early, prevent costly repairs down the road.
Proper moisture management forms the foundation of any successful siding installation. We install premium house wrap using overlapping seams and specialized tape, creating a continuous weather-resistant barrier. Strategic placement of weep holes and proper flashing around windows, doors, and other penetrations ensures water drains away from your home’s structure. Our crews pay particular attention to J-channels, corner posts, and trim pieces, understanding that these details determine both the installation’s longevity and visual appeal.
Energy Efficiency and Insulation Benefits
Installing new siding presents an ideal opportunity to upgrade your home’s thermal envelope. Insulated siding options can increase wall R-values by 2.0 to 5.0, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs by 15-20% annually. We offer various insulation solutions, including:
- Foam-backed vinyl siding that provides continuous insulation while reducing thermal bridging
- Rigid foam insulation boards installed beneath traditional siding for maximum energy savings
- Reflective barriers that reduce radiant heat transfer during summer months
These energy improvements often qualify for utility rebates and tax incentives, helping offset installation costs while providing ongoing savings through reduced energy consumption.
Maintenance Requirements and Long-Term Care
Different siding materials require varying maintenance levels, and we help clients understand these commitments before making final selections. Vinyl siding typically needs only annual washing with mild detergent and water, while fiber cement may require repainting every 10-15 years depending on exposure and climate conditions. Wood siding, though beautiful, demands the most attention with regular staining or painting plus vigilant monitoring for moisture damage.
Our family-owned and operated business emphasizes transparent communication about maintenance expectations, ensuring you understand exactly what your chosen siding requires for optimal performance. We provide detailed care instructions and remain available for questions long after installation completion. This commitment to customer education and support reflects our passion for providing exceptional roofing solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout the Lewis County & Southern Thurston County, WA.

We offer free estimates and work closely with homeowners to identify solutions that match both aesthetic preferences and budgetary constraints, building enduring relationships through impeccable craftsmanship and honest guidance at every step.
