Siding in Post Falls, ID

Freeze and thaw is what kills siding in North Idaho. Water finds a seam, a nail hole or an unsealed cut edge, freezes overnight, expands, and works the joint a little wider. Repeat that a few hundred times over a winter and it shows up as swelling along the bottom course, splitting around fasteners, and paint that will not hold no matter how often it is redone.

Post Falls adds prairie exposure on top of that. Many neighborhoods on the west and south sides of town stand open to wind and sun with little mature tree cover, so the weather side of a house ages far faster than the sheltered side. We plan cladding, house wrap and flashing around that exposure instead of treating every elevation the same way.

Local considerations in Post Falls

The city’s growth years left a great deal of engineered wood and builder-grade vinyl on homes that are now 20 to 30 years old. Engineered wood fails from the bottom edge upward where it was cut without sealing or set too close to grade. Thin vinyl goes brittle and cracks in deep cold, usually on the wall that takes the afternoon sun. Fiber cement handles Kootenai County freeze-thaw cycles well and holds paint through the swing, which is why most of our Post Falls replacements go that direction. Siding is also the service this market asks us for most.

Professional Siding Installation

Siding is a rain screen, not a skin. The water-resistive barrier behind it, the flashing at every window and door, and the clearances at grade and roof lines are what actually keep the wall dry. We replace all of it, not just the boards you can see.
