Here's an example of a staggered reveal style of siding: two rows of 3-inch siding followed by one row of 6 inch.

How's the Condition of Your Siding?

Not sure? Take the Siding Test.

Thousands of Portland area homes suffer siding failure each year with products such as EIFS (imitation stucco) and composite siding (LP, Masonite and Weyerhauser).

WARNING!!!

Incorrect installation by contractors who claim that "their way is the best way" is the single most common cause of siding failures and the voiding of warranties by the manufacturers.

You should check for certification and ask for a list of your contractor's installation procedures.

If your installer can't give you a detailed list of procedures for the installation of your siding...RUN! Then, find a phone and call us.

All siding manufacturers have installation procedures which MUST be followed if the warranty is to be honored. Adding to the situation is the fact that 90% of all siding contractors will be out of business within 7 years.

Since the exterior of your home is the first thing people see, the right siding choice speaks volumes about the pride you have in your home. In Portland, the decision to re-side your home is very likely one you’ll make once and live with for a long time. Most contractors just aren’t able to create the finish on your home that you’ve dreamed of.

Which Style is Right for You?

The expert design team at 1st Oregon Exteriors will help you select the style of siding, trim and finish which will bring out the charm and character of your Portland home.

When your home was originally built, the exterior appearance was one of a thousand choices being made by the builder. An exterior remodel is your opportunity to have your personality expressed in the outward appearance of your home. It’s a chance to make your home look its absolute best and unique.

We help our customers totally change the look of their home just by changing the style of their siding. For example, a staggered reveal (2 rows of siding spaced at 3-inches followed by 1 row of 6-inch siding) can give a large wall more character and charm. A single-story home will benefit from using narrower siding because wider siding can make a home seem smaller. We can make a small home seem quaint instead of simply small. We’ll help you make the right choice for your home!
