Fiber Cement Panel Installation on Colby Ave – North Everett, WA
This project involved a full tear-off and fiber cement panel replacement on a commercial building located near Colby Avenue in North Everett, WA 98201. The existing exterior system had reached the end of its lifespan and could no longer provide reliable weather protection.
Instead of covering over the old siding, we removed it completely. A full tear-off allows proper inspection of the structure underneath and ensures the new system performs as intended. For buildings in downtown Everett, especially in visible corridors, long-term durability and clean presentation are equally important.
The finished result is a smooth fiber cement panel exterior designed to withstand Pacific Northwest weather while delivering a modern, professional appearance.

Smooth fiber cement panel corner
For this replacement, smooth fiber cement panels were selected for their durability and stability in moisture-heavy climates. Unlike wood-based materials, fiber cement resists rot, swelling, and insect damage.
James Hardie panels
Panels were selected for their clean architectural appearance and durability. Proper trim components and flashing details were integrated to maintain a continuous weather-resistant barrier. All materials were installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance.
