Living near the water is one of the best parts of living in Seattle. It's also one of the hardest environments for a home's exterior.

Salt air, moisture, wind, and UV exposure are constantly working against your siding, trim, windows, doors, and roofing.

The good news? There isn't one "best" material.
There is only the best material for your home, your maintenance expectations, and your long-term goals.

Check out our latest article where we break down the pros and cons of wood, composites, fiber cement, and metal.

A Seattle homeowner recently told us the moment they knew it was time to remodel.

At a backyard barbecue, a guest came out of the home's only bathroom—which also happened to be the homeowners' personal bathroom—and started commenting on the brand of electric toothbrush sitting on the counter.

The challenge is updating the home for modern life without losing the character that made you love it in the first place.
