Why siding fails in Oregon
Siding is a raincoat. Most rot starts where water gets behind it.
East County gets months of rain, and the wind out of the Gorge pushes it sideways. Water that gets behind the boards at a window corner, a missing kick-out flashing, or a bottom course sitting too close to the ground can rot the wall for years before you see it.
A good siding job is mostly what you never see: sound sheathing, a weather barrier lapped the right way, flashing that sheds water out instead of in, and clearance at the ground and roof lines. That is where 40 years of experience shows up.
What Dave does
Exterior work, done by one crew you know.
James Hardie Siding
Fiber cement siding that stands up to Oregon rain, moss and wind. Dave Shaffer tears off, checks the sheathing, flashes it right and hangs Hardie himself.
See how Dave does it →Cedar Siding
Real cedar for homes that deserve it: lap, shingles and boards, back-primed, flashed and finished so they last in the Northwest wet.
See how Dave does it →Siding & Dry Rot Repair
Soft spots, stains and rot around windows and at the bottom courses. Dave finds where the water is getting in, repairs the damage and fixes the cause.
See how Dave does it →Trim, Soffit & Fascia
The edges of your house take the worst of the weather. Dave replaces failing trim, soffit and fascia so water, pests and wind stay out.
See how Dave does it →Windows & Sliding Doors
New windows and sliding glass doors installed and flashed into the wall the right way, so they keep the weather out as well as they look.
See how Dave does it →Decks
Decks built to shed Oregon rain, with the connection to your house flashed properly, so the deck stays sound and the wall behind it stays dry.
See how Dave does it →Two materials, chosen on purpose
Hardie or real cedar? Dave installs both.
James Hardie fiber cement
Doesn't rot, doesn't burn, and holds paint for years, especially with factory ColorPlus finish. Cedar-look plank and shingle lines give you the wood look without the upkeep.
Hardie siding →Real cedar
Nothing else looks or smells like it, and it is the right call for many older Portland-area homes. It needs regular finish care, and Dave installs it so water can drain and dry.
Cedar siding →Not sure? Read Hardie vs. cedar: an honest comparison. Dave doesn't install vinyl siding.

What Is the Best Siding for Oregon Rain?
James Hardie fiber cement and properly maintained cedar both handle Oregon rain. What matters most is the install: flashing, a drainage gap behind the siding, and clearance from roofs and grade.
Read the guide →Best Time to Replace Siding in Oregon
The easiest window for re-siding in Oregon is mid-spring through early fall, but a careful crew can work in other months. What to book when, and how rain is handled on the job.
Read the guide →James Hardie vs. Cedar Siding: An Honest Comparison
Cedar wins on natural beauty and easy repair. Hardie wins on rot, fire and low upkeep. Here is how each holds up in Oregon rain, and how Hardie's cedar-look lines close the gap.
