The Problem
Homes built on the Eastside between the mid-1980s and late 1990s came with two exterior systems that have not aged well.
Louisiana-Pacific Inner-Seal composite siding was installed on tens of thousands of Puget Sound homes. In this climate, it swells, delaminates, holds water against the sheathing, and rots what is behind it. If you see soft spots, mushrooming edges, bubbling paint, or dark stains around window trim, that is what you are looking at.
Single-pane aluminum-framed windows from the same era conduct cold straight into the room. Winter condensation turns into puddles that damage sills, drywall, and eventually the wall studs behind them.
Both problems get worse every wet winter you leave them. And both cost more to fix the longer you wait, because water damage does not stay contained. What starts as a $30,000 siding project becomes a $50,000 siding-plus-rot-repair project.
The fix is worth doing right.
For homeowners whose LP siding is failing, or whose vinyl or older cedar is at the end of its life.
For homeowners with sweating single-pane windows, damaged sills, drafts, and higher-than-they-should-be energy bills.
Not sure which is the priority? That is exactly what the free in-home estimate is for. An Emerald State specialist walks the exterior of your home, opens the walls where needed, and tells you what is failing now and what can wait. Straight answers. No pressure to buy both.
Why Homeowners on the Eastside Choose Emerald State
Emerald State has served Eastside homeowners since 2006, with a family in the exterior trade for over three decades. Grandpa John's rule was simple: never settle for anything less than exceptional service. That is still how the shop runs.
Warranties only hold if the product is installed to specification. Cheap installers cut corners on flashing, fastener spacing, and moisture barriers. It is the homeowner who discovers three years later that the warranty has been voided. Emerald State installs to spec every time. That is why our warranty holds.
No nickel-and-diming on the small things other contractors skim on. No crews that start a job and disappear for two weeks. If we find rot behind your old siding, you see photos and get a written change order before we cover anything up. What we quote is what you pay, unless the work itself changes and you approve it.

Our team handles the install from tear-off through final walkthrough. Photos of hidden conditions before we cover them. Written change orders for anything unforeseen. A warmer, drier, better-looking home when we are done.
Emerald State serves the Greater Seattle Eastside for siding and window replacement, including Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Renton, Newcastle, and Woodinville. If your Eastside neighbourhood is not on that list, call and ask. We would rather tell you a job is a stretch than take one we cannot do properly.
The classic signs are swelling at the bottom edge of the boards, mushrooming or bubbling paint that keeps coming back no matter how often you repaint, dark water stains around window trim, and soft spots when you press the surface. If your home was built between roughly 1985 and 1998 on the Eastside, there is a good chance it is LP Inner-Seal. Our free estimate confirms it and gives you a real cost to replace it.
Most Eastside homes take one to two weeks, depending on square footage, weather, and whether we find hidden rot to repair once the old siding is off. You get a written schedule at estimate.
Yes, in almost every case. Old single-pane windows and gapped siding let a lot of heated air escape in winter. Sealing that envelope with modern materials cuts monthly cost and makes the whole house feel warmer.
Yes. We work with HOA design review boards across the Eastside and pull city permits where they are required for the job. That is part of the scope, not an add-on.
Yes. Washington State contractor licence EMERASL891KL. Fully insured. Certificate available on request before work starts.
We show you before we cover it up. Photos, an explanation of what needs replacing, and a written change order for your approval. Nothing hidden in the final invoice.
