Do you handle siding replacement in Lewiston?

Yes. We perform Lewiston siding work daily, including siding replacement Lewiston, siding repair Lewiston, and new siding installation Lewiston across the Lewis Clark Valley. Our crews run US-12, US-95, Bryden Canyon Road, Thain Grade, and 21st Street with quick hops across the river to Clarkston.

We service Normal Hill, Downtown Lewiston, the Orchards, Southway, and the Snake and Clearwater river levee neighborhoods. Clarkston, Asotin, Lapwai, Culdesac, and Genesee round out our Lewiston siding service area in Nez Perce County and nearby towns.

We install LP SmartSide siding, James Hardie fiber cement siding, and Diamond Kote siding with architectural metal options. ChamClad and UFP-Edge accents fit craftsman cottages, mid century ranches, and hillside contemporaries.

Same week inspections are standard. You get photo documentation for insurance and any HOA or lender approvals.

Lewiston weather swings hard. Summer heat loads west and south walls, while canyon winds drive rain at window heads and corners.

River fog and winter inversions hold moisture at the levee and low lying streets. All of it tests flashings, caulk lines, coatings, and fasteners.

We do not cover and hope. We remove to substrate, repair sheathing, build a drainage plane, and add a vented rainscreen so Lewiston siding can breathe and dry.

How do I know my siding is failing in Lewiston?

• Swollen edges or soft trim at hose bibs, porch posts, and sprinkler arcs in the Orchards.
• Waves or buckling courses from nails through the lap or joints set tight with no expansion gap.
• Staining under window heads from missing pan or head flashing and tired sealant on river facing walls.
• Chalking or peeling paint on sun blasted elevations that points to movement or trapped moisture.
• Open miters or corner gaps after wind bursts funnel down the canyon and across Thain grade.
• Nail pops or mushroomed holes from fastener corrosion or wet sheathing.
• Musty interior odor that hints at non vented walls holding moisture during inversions.

Our inspection delivers a plain English photo set. We tag items as repair now, replace later, or monitor so your Lewiston siding plan is clear.

What does a proper tear off and install include here?

Full evaluation comes first. Where needed we tear off to clean sheathing, replace soft OSB or ply, correct plane transitions, and square lines for lap or panel layouts.

• WRB housewrap or fluid applied with shingle lapped seams and pan, side, and head flashings at windows and doors. We tape seams and back dam openings to stop wind driven rain.
• Vented rainscreen with furring for drainage and airflow that river humidity and freeze thaw demand. Bug screen sits at bases and tops so the cavity stays clear.
• LP SmartSide siding in lap, panel, or board and batten with back primed cuts and sealed ends. Or James Hardie siding with correct fasteners and strict ground and roof clearances.
• For Hardie we hold about 6 inches above grade and 1 to 2 inches above roof surfaces. We verify all clearances before paint.
• Diamond Kote siding for color stable finishes with documented touch up at closeout.
• Kickout flashings at roof to wall, Z flash at horizontal breaks, and metal trims that shed water instead of trapping it.

We protect windows, landscaping, and decks along the levee trail. End of day we clean up and run a magnet sweep because siding nails bounce.

Final steps include a walkthrough, punch list, and warranty registration. You see exactly what changed on your Lewiston siding project.

Siding repairs – what is smart to fix vs replace?

Repair now: hail dings on one elevation, localized lap rot at a hose bib, one failed Z flash, or a sun beaten west wall that needs new corners and trim. These are targeted and cost effective.

Replace: systemic moisture behind non vented assemblies, wavy planes from sheathing failure, repeat paint failure from bad clearances, or buckling from nail through the lap installs. We stage emergency weatherproofing first, then schedule full scopes.

New construction siding – what is different in Lewiston?

Layout is everything. We set datum lines around bump outs and align panel seams to window heads for clean reveals on hillside lots.

Profiles match the architecture with lap, panel and batten, channel, or mixed materials. Painters back roll cuts so color stays even through July and August.

Overlay vs full replacement – what works in the LC Valley?

Overlays hide rot, trap vapor, and telegraph old waves. Lewiston homes see canyon winds, river humidity, and winter inversions that expose shortcuts.

A true siding replacement Lewiston scope means substrate fixes, continuous WRB, proper kickouts, and a rainscreen. It looks better, dries faster, and lasts longer than an overlay.

Materials that fit Lewiston homes

LP SmartSide siding: Warm wood look with impact resistance and ladder ding toughness. Great for board and batten farmhouse updates in the Orchards.

James Hardie fiber cement siding: Non combustible with crisp panels and stable lines. It excels on windy and sunny elevations along 21st Street and Normal Hill.

Diamond Kote siding: Factory applied finish with deep colors that hold along the Snake and Clearwater corridors. You repaint less and keep curb appeal longer.

ChamClad and UFP Edge accents: Modern or rustic textures for gables, entries, and bump outs. They pair cleanly with lap or panel systems and add contrast.

Architectural metal siding: Vertical rib or flush reveal for contemporary elevations and shop houses. These profiles shed water and shrug off UV in summer heat.

Quick care plan for Idaho weather

• Adjust sprinklers to keep spray off lower courses and corners.
• Re caulk high movement joints every 3 to 5 years and spot paint sun facing trim.
• Keep mulch and soil pulled back to maintain fiber cement clearances.
• After storms check corners, kickouts, window heads, and ground clearances.

Why LP or Hardie for Lewiston area weather?

• Engineered performance: LP resins with SmartGuard handle impact and ladder bumps. Hardie fiber cement stays stable with proper clearances in heat, wind, and freeze thaw.
• System details: trims, vents, and fasteners are matched for warranty support and long life.
• Color longevity: Diamond Kote finishes plus a rainscreen help coatings last through UV, river humidity, and winter inversions.
