Exterior Remodeling
in Vancouver, WA

Clark County takes forty-plus inches of rain a year, and it finds every detail somebody skipped. Serden Group replaces siding, windows, roofs, trim and gutters across Vancouver and the surrounding county, and corrects the water-resistive barrier and flashing behind them — kick-out flashing, sill pans, grade clearance, deck ledgers. One licensed in-house crew, one project manager, one warranty conversation. Locally trusted since 2015.

Forty inches of rain
finds every detail.

Clark County is full of 1980s and 1990s hardboard and T1-11 that was never built for this climate, and the failures are remarkably consistent. Siding buried in the grade. No kick-out flashing where the roof meets the wall. Housewrap lapped the wrong way. No sill pan under a single window. A deck ledger bolted straight through unflashed cladding. New siding over any of that buys a few years. So we open a test area first, show you what is actually behind the wall, and price the correction as its own line — then build the assembly to the manufacturer's details so the warranty holds and the wall dries.

Your Vancouver, WA exterior remodel, done right —
from walkthrough to final inspection.

How It Works
1
Feasibility

We confirm whether your address is inside Vancouver city limits or unincorporated Clark County — the two have different applications and different review — then measure your lot against your zone’s setbacks, lot coverage and height limits. You get an honest go, a build-up-instead recommendation, or a no, plus a realistic budget range before you pay for design.

Before renovation
2
Design & Permit

Floor plans, elevations and stamped structural drawings, then submittal and plan-review management with the City of Vancouver or the Clark County Permit Center. We handle correction responses, the stormwater plan when a project crosses the impervious-area threshold, and the system development charges tied to added square footage.

Construction framing

Build & Tie-In

Footings, framing, roof tie-in, mechanicals, then finishes — with your kitchen and bathrooms kept in service and the work zone sealed and dust-controlled. One project manager, daily progress, and a punch-list walkthrough before we call for final inspection.

What exterior work takes
in Vancouver

Four local facts shape almost every exterior project we run in Clark County. We work through all of them on the first walkthrough.

City limits or Clark County

A Vancouver mailing address does not decide who permits your work. Homes inside city limits go through City of Vancouver Community Development; Salmon Creek, Felida, Hazel Dell and Orchards permit through Clark County — different fee schedules and inspection queues. Siding and re-roofing frequently require a permit, and decks and covered patios always do.

The 1980s and 1990s cladding problem

Much of the county's housing stock wears hardboard, T1-11 or early composite siding that has reached the end of a life it never really had here. When we pull it, we routinely find no kick-out flashing, no grade clearance, backwards housewrap laps and no sill pans. Those get corrected before new cladding goes on, not covered by it.

Rot is an allowance, not a guess

Nobody can price sheathing, rim joist and stud repair from outside a closed wall. We carry rot repair as a written allowance with a unit rate, open the wall with you there, and bill what we actually replace. A bid that shows no rot line on a 30-year-old Vancouver house is not a lower price — it is a deferred change order.

Weather sequencing and drainage

We phase water-open work so no elevation sits exposed through a storm, and specify prefinished products for winter schedules because field paint will not cure here from November through March. Gutters, downspout count and where the roof water discharges get designed too — sending it next to the foundation is how a dry crawlspace becomes a wet one.

Permit thresholds and fees for siding, roofing, windows and decks change, and they differ between the City of Vancouver and Clark County. Verify current requirements for your parcel — we handle the walkthrough, permits and inspections either way, and we will tell you which agency has jurisdiction before you commit to a scope.

What exterior work costs
in Vancouver, WA

Installed planning ranges for Vancouver homes, including tear-off, disposal, a new water-resistive barrier, flashing, trim and permits where required. Rot repair is a written allowance, and Washington sales tax applies to labor as well as materials.

Exterior project Typical scope Vancouver planning range
Window replacement, per opening Insert or full-frame $1,000 – $2,400
Entry door replacement Single door with sidelights $3,500 – $9,500
Roof replacement 20–30 squares, composition $14,000 – $32,000
Siding replacement 1,500–2,500 sq ft of wall $28,000 – $72,000
Deck build or rebuild 250–500 sq ft $14,000 – $45,000
Covered patio / outdoor living Roofed, 200–400 sq ft $28,000 – $80,000
Full exterior package Siding, windows, roof, trim, paint $85,000 – $210,000

What pushes an exterior budget up

Rot found behind the old cladding, three-story or steeply sloped walls that need staging and scaffold, going full-frame on windows instead of insert, a rain screen assembly, historic or design review, lead-safe containment on pre-1978 homes, and pulling one failed layer off to discover a second one underneath.

What brings it down

Doing siding, windows and trim in one mobilization instead of three — the scaffold, the containment and the mobilization get paid for once. Keeping the existing window openings. Choosing a prefinished product so there is no field paint cycle waiting on dry weather.

What people forget to budget

Gutters and downspouts, which almost always come off with the siding. Exterior light fixtures, hose bibs, dryer and bath vents, and the electrical penetrations that all need new blocks and flashing. Landscaping and hardscape restoration. And the sequencing cost of a job that has to pause for weather.

Common Questions

A full siding replacement on a typical Vancouver home with 1,500–2,500 sq ft of wall area runs $28,000–$72,000 installed, including tear-off, disposal, a new water-resistive barrier, flashing, trim and prefinished or field-painted siding. Fiber cement and engineered wood sit mid-range; cedar and mixed-material elevations sit higher. Two Vancouver-specific notes: Washington sales tax applies to labor as well as materials, and rot repair is carried as an allowance rather than guessed at.
Because the climate is unforgiving of small mistakes. Forty-plus inches of rain a year, long wet-and-cool stretches that never let a wall dry, and a housing stock full of 1980s and 1990s hardboard and T1-11 that was never designed for it. The failures we open up are consistent: no kick-out flashing where a roof meets a wall, siding buried in the grade or hard against a deck, a water-resistive barrier lapped backwards, and no sill pans under windows. New siding over any of those buys a few years, not a solution.
Usually, and which office issues it depends on your parcel rather than your mailing address. Homes inside Vancouver city limits permit through City of Vancouver Community Development; Salmon Creek, Felida, Hazel Dell, Orchards and other unincorporated areas with Vancouver addresses permit through Clark County — different fee schedules and inspection queues. Decks and covered patios essentially always need a permit and inspections. We confirm jurisdiction and pull permits under our own license.
Insert replacement keeps the existing frame, costs less and disturbs less, and is right when the frames and the surrounding sheathing are genuinely sound. Full-frame takes the unit out to the rough opening, which is the only way to replace rotted framing, install a real sill pan and re-flash the opening. If you have staining, soft trim or bubbling paint under your windows, full-frame is the answer that lasts. We price both on the same estimate so you are choosing with numbers, not adjectives.
Yes, and in this climate a roof is what makes an outdoor space usable most of the year rather than four months of it. A covered patio needs engineered footings, a permit, a code-compliant attachment and flashing where the new roof meets the house, and attention to how the added impervious area affects drainage. Vancouver projects typically run $28,000–$80,000 depending on span, roof structure, and whether you add an outdoor kitchen, heaters or a fireplace.
A roof is 2–5 days. Windows are roughly 1–2 days per 8–10 openings. Full siding replacement on an average Vancouver home is 3–6 weeks. A deck or covered patio is 2–5 weeks. A full envelope package is 8–14 weeks. We phase the water-open work in tight windows so nothing sits exposed through a storm, and we specify prefinished products for winter schedules since field paint will not cure reliably here from November through March.
Across the city and the surrounding county: Felida, Salmon Creek, Hazel Dell, Fisher's Landing, Cascade Park, Columbia Tech Center, Evergreen Highway, Ellsworth, Northwest Vancouver, Lincoln, Shumway, Arnada, Hough, Rose Village, Orchards, Mill Plain, Burton and Van Mall — plus Ridgefield, Battle Ground, Washougal and La Center.

Exterior work attracts storm-season door-knockers, and an unregistered contractor leaves you with no bond to claim against and a wall you cannot see inside of.
