New siding installation for San Francisco homes, fiber-cement, wood shingle, and stucco. Properly flashed, weather-resistive barrier upgraded, and integrated with new windows and trim so the wall system actually performs.
Most siding failures we see in San Francisco aren't the siding itself, they're the layers underneath. Failed weather-resistive barriers, missed flashing at windows and doors, poor integration where siding meets trim or roof. The siding looks fine, but moisture has been getting in for years.
When we install new siding, we treat the whole wall as a system: the WRB, the flashing, the trim integration, and the siding itself. Done together, the system performs. Done piecemeal, it fails.
Remove existing siding and inspect the framing, sheathing, and weather-resistive barrier underneath for damage or dry rot.
Replace damaged sheathing, install or upgrade weather-resistive barrier across the wall.
Proper flashing at windows, doors, roof transitions, and any penetration. This is where most siding installs fail.
Install the chosen siding material to manufacturer spec, fiber-cement, wood shingle, stucco, or other.
Integrate trim around windows, doors, and corners so the siding system is complete and weather-tight.
Prime and paint where required, finish details, and clean up.
Fiber-cement, wood shingle, and stucco are the common San Francisco options. Properly flashed, weather-resistive barrier upgraded, and integrated with new windows and trim so the wall system actually performs. Usually paired with exterior paint as one project.
