Siding Replacement Project in Kalama Washington

Kalama, Washington is a small but lovely town that sits along the Columbia River as it winds its way through Cowlitz County.

Dating back to the 19th century, today the city has a population of about 2,600 people and is known for its antique boutiques and collection of totem poles, including the tallest totem pole carved from a single tree in the world, towering at 140 feet.

It was up in Kalama that, not too long ago, the siding contractors here at KVN Construction helped a client secure the future of their home by installing brand new James Hardie siding.

KVN Construction Spotlight: Kalama

It’s not always just old homes that need work done. Sometimes houses that were built recently need to be brought up to standard. This can happen when an inexperienced team is hired, or when people attempt to DIY things.

The house of our client was fairly new, but the metal siding was causing some issues and needed to be replaced. After a thorough inspection we got to work, stripping off the old metal siding and replacing it with both James Hardie Smooth Lap siding and James Hardie Smooth panel siding.

We then finished off the exterior by applying a couple layers of Sherwin Williams SuperPaint.

The client wanted a modern look, which we feel we definitely achieved. See these Kalama siding before and after pictures for yourself:

Your Neighbor’s Siding Contractor in Kalama

Need a siding contractor in Kalama? Siding naturally wears down as it gets exposed to the elements.

Some of the most visible signs you need new siding include rot and cracks, while less obvious signs include slightly bent panels or even higher heating bills as your HVAC system tries to compensate for the lack of insulation provided by shoddy siding. 

As you saw, though, even improperly installed new siding can cause issues. After all, siding is one of the most important parts of a house. 

If you need new siding in Kalama, then, you’ll want a team that knows what they’re doing, a team that already has experience preparing homes for the unique climate of Cowlitz County. Ideally, you’ll want a team with a successful Kalama track record – a team like KVN Construction!
