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! ..."

"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"

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!"
