Elevated Split-Level Design

This stylishly updated Lake Whatcom residence in Bellingham, WA, now has a modern feel while keeping its original split-level charm.

The owners partnered with KV Construction for a complete exterior renovation, which included new windows, doors, and a James Hardie siding combination of 9 1/4 (8″ reveal) Smooth lap siding and 5 1/4 (4” reveal) board. To highlight the home’s stunning design, T/G TK cedar accent siding was installed on a pop-out.

New cedar soffits, fascia, gutters, and downspouts were also added, giving the home a fresh and protected look that complements its exceptional views and convenient access to the Stimpson Family Nature Reserve.

"Vasily and his crew did a wonderful job replacing the siding on my home. Fast, quality work and affordable. Job well done."

Cedar accents soften entire home look

Cedar accents add a natural warmth that beautifully softens the home’s modern look. The combination of white trim, cedar soffits, and an accent siding pop-out creates a harmonious and inviting exterior.

Modern siding combination

This elegant renovation gives the home a contemporary look by using a combination of James Hardie siding. The varying reveal sizes—9 1/4″ and 5 1/4″—add visual interest and dimension to the exterior.

White house details

White window trim provides a clean, crisp contrast against the modern combination siding. This detail beautifully frames each window, giving the entire exterior a polished and sophisticated finish.

Seamless corner fit and finish

Metal corners were installed where the premium siding boards meet, not only to protect the home’s vulnerable corners but also to provide a slim and modern design.

Shed matches stylish design of house

James Hardie smooth panels deliver a sleek, contemporary aesthetic, offering low-maintenance durability, a paint-ready finish, and long-lasting protection for years to come.

Tongue and Groove entryway soffit

The premium craftsmanship of the new siding begins at the entryway, where it is beautifully complemented by gorgeous, custom-crafted tongue and groove tight knot cedar soffit.

"KV sat with us to ensure he was meeting all of our design expectations and we hashed out all the details. They did a very nice job communicating when the materials would be dropped off and when the work was to begin. They were very efficient and completed on time. The new siding looks fantastic"

"I've used KV Construction for 2 siding projects and both have turned out great. They are quick, on budget, and very communicative during the process."

Tom Macie

"Vasily was extremely easy to work with when it came to ad hoc change requests outside the demo/installation work in our original estimate. I found their quote to be very fair and extremely competitive (compared to other bids that we received), and the crew was friendly, polite, professional, and efficient. We are very pleased with the results of our residing project!"
