Cedar siding installation gives your walls the look of real wood. We install new cedar siding, re-side older homes in cedar and handle cedar siding repair. That includes cedar shingle siding and board and batten cedar, with lap or bevel cedar as another profile. As a cedar siding contractor based in Langley, we work across Whidbey Island, Camano Island and the Skagit side.
Cedar suits an island cottage or a waterfront home, and it needs a sound wall behind it. The barrier and flashing go on first, to keep wind-driven rain out of the sheathing. When old siding comes off over soft wood, wood rot repair comes before any new cedar. For fiber cement or vinyl, see our siding installation page.

Cedar shingle siding and board and batten cedar are the classic look of island cottages and waterfront homes. One of our island jobs pairs board and batten cedar siding with cedar dip shingles on the gables. All of that cedar went on over a breathable membrane.
The Olympic Mountains put Whidbey in a rain shadow, yet rain still falls on about 120 days a year. The south end of the island averages 30-plus inches of rain a year. Wind off the water pushes that rain and salt air into the walls. Waterfront and bluff homes are the most exposed.
The cedar industry says bare cedar loses its natural color as it weathers and turns grey. In very dry climates it weathers to an even, silvery grey. In most other climates it weathers unevenly and can look dark and blotchy.
Re-siding in cedar starts with taking the failed siding off. Then we check the sheathing and framing behind it. On a beachfront restoration on Shore Avenue, the original siding had no vapor barrier or proper underlayment beneath it. The building was badly damaged as a result.
A water-resistive barrier or breathable membrane goes behind the new cedar so the wall can dry. Flashing goes in at windows, doors, roof lines and decks before the siding. The Shore Avenue walls got breathable membranes, with waterproof flashings at the weak points. The new siding there is sanded shingles with woven corners.
The cedar industry's installation guide spells out the details. Siding stays at least 2 inches off a roof or deck so it does not wick water. Trim at the base of the wall sits at least 6 inches above the ground. Every cut end gets primer or stain.
Cedar siding repair makes sense when the damage sits in one place. Maybe a few shingles split or cupped, or a windstorm tore boards off one wall. We replace the damaged shingles and boards to match what is there.
Cedar siding replacement is the better call when the trouble runs across the house. Soft spots on more than one wall point that way. So does old siding with no barrier behind it, since that layer goes on under the cedar.
A free on-site estimate settles which one your walls need. We check the trim and the flashing at every window and door, because water travels. If the windows are failing too, window replacement fits best while the wall is open.

(360) 544-9655From the first call or text to the last of the old roofing hauled off, here is how it goes.
Reach us at (360) 544-9655 and tell us what the roof is doing. We set a time to come out and look at it.
We get up on the roof and check the decking, flashing, venting and gutters. Then you get the scope and the price in writing. The estimate is free.
You pick the shingle line and color, or the metal panel profile and color. Our shingle color page shows every CertainTeed color side by side. We order the material and set a start date around the weather.
Tear-off comes first, then decking repair where the wood is soft. Underlayment, flashing, the new roof and the venting go on in order.
The old roofing leaves with us and the ground gets cleaned up. Then we go over the finished job with you and hand over the paperwork.

Real reviews from real roofing and siding jobs on Google.
They installed a new metal roof on the house we purchased and were able to start quickly which meant it was nearly done by the time we moved in. We had a great experience working with Jeff who was very helpful with suggestions on some cosmetic changes we made and the entire roof and gables came out nicely. Very pleased with this company and would recommend them to anyone on Whidbey looking for roofing or siding work.
Whidbey Roof and Siding did an outstanding job. Very professional! No playing games came in with the lowest bid. We did run into a few surprises, but Jeff was very clear and transparent about what it would take to correct the issue. Very glad I had someone who could deal with the issues. As one recent visitor said the skylight looks like it was here all along and not an after thought addition. Highly recommend
