Seattle University District HardiePlank Lap Siding Installation Project
Seattle homes—especially in neighborhoods like the University District near the University of Washington—experience constant exposure to rain, moisture, and seasonal temperature changes. Because the property was showing signs of rotting soffits, damaged soffit framing, and dry rot in the existing siding, the property management company working on behalf of the homeowner needed a long-term solution that would hold up to Seattle’s wet climate.
KV Construction recommended James Hardie HardiePlank® lap siding, one of the most trusted siding materials for homes in the Pacific Northwest.
“…Highly recommend working with these guys, we will be calling them this summer when weather is dry to do the work! …”
Completed HardiePlank Installation
The new fiber cement siding provides a clean, durable exterior designed to handle the Pacific Northwest’s wet climate while improving the home’s curb appeal.
Proper flashing
Proper flashing is installed around windows, doors, and trim to protect the home from water intrusion.
Trim and corners
Hardie trim boards are installed around windows, doors, and corners to create clean architectural lines and protect vulnerable edges of the siding system.
