What a Lynden Re-Side Actually Looks Like
From first walkthrough to final city inspection — the sequence is the same on every home; only the rot repair in the middle varies.
On-Site Estimate & Written Bid
WEEK 0We walk every elevation of your Lynden home, measure, and write an itemized bid specific to the house — product recommendations included, boilerplate not.
Permit & Materials
WEEKS 1–3 BEFORE STARTCity of Lynden permit pulled if your scope needs one — Whatcom County instead for farm-road addresses outside the city line — and materials ordered so nothing stalls mid-project.
Tear-Off & Sheathing Inspection
DAYS 1–3Old siding comes off completely. Sheathing and framing get inspected wall by wall; rotted sheathing is typically replaced at no extra cost on a full-home re-side, and anything past the sheathing, which is very uncommon, is photographed and quoted as a change order for your approval before we rebuild.
Weather Barrier, Flashing & New Siding
DAY 3 ONWARD — PACED TO THE PROJECTThe layers that matter go on: weather barrier lapped for wind-driven rain, flashing at every penetration, then siding fastened to manufacturer spec. Walls are dried in the same day they're opened.
Cleanup, City Inspection & Walkthrough
FINAL DAYSMagnet sweep and full site cleanup, final municipal inspection passed, and a walkthrough with you — touch-ups handled on the spot, warranty paperwork in hand.

Our Recommendation for Lynden: James Hardie Fiber Cement
We recommend fiber cement — James Hardie specifically — and it’s the only siding we recommend for Lynden homes. In a wind-driven-rain state, fiber cement doesn’t rot, doesn’t feed moss, doesn’t warp, and shrugs off the freeze-thaw cycles that crack lesser boards. It carries a 30-year limited warranty on the boards, and ColorPlus factory finishes carry their own 15-year limited finish warranty.
As a James Hardie Elite Contractor we install to the spec that keeps that warranty valid — fastening, clearances, and flashing details checked on every wall. For Lynden homes, Hardie is the answer we’d put on our own house.
What Siding Replacement Costs in Lynden
Most single-family whole-home projects typically land between $20,000 and $60,000. Home size and stories move the number most; the other big lever is combining windows with the re-side — window replacement runs typically 20–35% less per window during a siding project, since demolition, disposal, and admin overhead are already covered.
Prices change often with inflation, material costs, the economy, and tariffs and other policy changes, so these ranges are a guide, not a quote. Your written estimate has the current price for your home.
Nationally, fiber cement siding replacement is one of the best-returning exterior projects at resale — recent Cost vs. Value Report data puts its cost recoup above 100% (a national figure; local results vary). Every bid is measured at your home and itemized — sheathing rot repair is typically included on a full-home re-side, and anything past the sheathing is photographed and quoted as a change order, never buried. Financing options are available.
How Long a Re-Side Takes
Typically one to four weeks on site for a full home, depending on size, sheathing condition, how much rot we find, and whether we're painting.
The schedule is written into the bid, and the final inspection is part of it — the job is not done until it passes.
What Stands Behind the Work
James Hardie siding carries a 30-year substrate warranty, with ColorPlus finishes warranted for 15 years.
Our own workmanship warranty is included on every project — terms spelled out in your bid.
