Reputable Hardie Plank Contractors

All reputable Hardie Plank contractors should show you the various siding options and specifically all the options Hardie offers. The rep should find out what you are interested in and show you the specific pros and cons of each product. As the owner of Preferred Exteriors, I have personally been in this industry for 30 years inspecting and installing siding all over the Vancouver metro area. I started as a local siding contractor in 1990 even before Hardie Plank siding came to the Pacific Northwest. Hardie siding has dominated the entire market for at least 2 decades. I have personally seen many siding styles come and go, especially with vinyl siding. When installed properly with a good rain screen moisture barrier to protect your subwall, hardie Plank has stood the longevity test, especially in our rain. The two most common options for Hardie Plank is pre-primed hardie and Color Plus hardie. Both have their place and if installed correctly should last a long time. Standard pre-primed Hardie Plank is more poplar simply because it costs less the the pre-painted Color Plus. Color Plus is fully painted in a factory controlled environment in Reno Nevada and then shipped here to the Pacific Northwest. Because of my length of time working with siding, I have been invited by the engineers to tour that factory. Its very close to Lake Tahoe which is beautiful. Color Plus Hardie Plank comes with a 15 year paint warranty from Sherwin Williams in addition to James Hardie 30 year product warranty. The more common pre-primed hardie product obviously has no paint warranty but you can still get one thru Sherwin Williams. It just isn’t registered with James Hardie. For more information on which product fits you best, and for the preferred Hardie Plank contractor call Preferred Exteriors at (360) 687-4646 to see how we can help. Also know that with our pricing and 3 decades of knowledge, we are of the most reputable Hardie Plank contractors. And with no high priced middle man salesman, why pay more?

We have a home over 80 years old with some unique features. We needed a repair so Bill looked at it. He told us he didn't think he could help us, but found a reliable company that could. We so appreciate his honesty.

During my search of siding and roof repair, I was fortunate to contact Preferred Exteriors and actually spoke with the owner, Bill. He was understanding of my unique situation and offered much insight and knowledge. I can tell he cares about his customers and their well being during their times of stress when it comes to water damage and repairs. He was not pushy or tried to sell me some thing I didn't need. He offered good pricing; below what the other companies offered. But at the same time, knew how to get the job done...right. I can see why his reviews are all 5 stars. I am very pleased with the results and was happy to have the rot mitigated and repaired with the Hardie siding. In your search for siding and roof repair, I highly recommend contacting them.

We've had issues with leaky windows and some old rotting T1-11 on the south side of our Vancouver home since we bought the place from a flipper/contractor 3 years ago. Bill the boss at Preferred Exteriors came to our house for a consultation and he was friendly and knowledgeable, and most importantly he was willing to *repair* our siding when Everyone else just wanted to sell us whole-house siding replacement (which we can't afford). Another thing I love about Preferred exteriors is the fact that they are a small family company, with many years of experience in Vancouver; they're not a big chain all over that outsources or works on commission and doesn't really care about customer. And when I called/emailed them, I got to communicate directly with the owner. And Shane and Joe, the guys that did the work, were also super awesome; they were knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, friendly, willing to answer our questions when my husband and I were ever curious about the process or materials used. And the best part is, now that the repairs are done I can sleep alot easier at night knowing caring professionals repaired our leaky window and rotted siding with top quality materials. THANK YOU Preferred Exteriors Friends, if my husband and I can ever afford to someday replace the siding on the whole house, we know who to call first :)

We own a 1950 something house and it was in dire need of siding. I called Preferred Exteriors and got a quick response from Bill the owner, any time we had a question he texted us back real fast. We set up a time for Bill to come out and look at our place. After he looked at everything he was very up front with any problems he might run into. He wrote up a bid and it was very fair, best quote we got actually. We were told it could take up to 2 weeks to finish the job. But we got lucky and the crew found very few problems during their work. The crew like Bill was very professional and did a wonderful job. They actually got it done in 8 days I believe it was. When everything was done I was impressed with how clean the yard was. I'm putting up before and after pictures. We are going to paint the house come spring and I'm hoping I can update the review. I'm very excited to see the house after we paint it. If you're reading this and thinking about using Preferred Exteriors, I advise you to call them. You won't be sorry.

Bill was so helpful in the whole process of getting our siding fixed. We had an arsonist try to burn our house down, thankfully it only caused smoke damage and some minor burning. The siding had been on our house for a long time and Bill helped us in approaching our insurance company in not settling for a piecemeal fix it job. That would have diminished the value of our home. So after many months of negotiations with our insurance company, they agreed to fix the whole back side of the house. Once the insurance agreed to pay for it, Bill was out here introducing Chris to us and letting us know the whien would begin. It was quick. Bill kept in constant contact with us, throughout the whole process. Even if there was going to be a delay, he always communicated what was happening. Chris, the one who did the job is amazing also. Very quick, hard worker, polite and kind young man. He would clean up after himself everyday that he worked. No mess on our patio.We are so pleased with how it turned out. 🤗 I cannot thank Bill and his team enough for all his help in this horrific ordeal. He helped us not settle for second best, and now I have a beautiful backyard. 😊 Our photos don't do justice because of the cloudy day, but we love it!!! ❤️

I was recommended preferred exteriors from a neighbor. They sided a commercial building we had and was pleased with pricing, work, and timeliness of work being completed. Any minor detail was addressed in a timely matter. I would recommend preferred exteriors for any home or commercial project.

Bill provided excellent communication throughout the whole process and responded quickly to our many questions. He and his team were very professional, incredibly nice, and approachable. His team did a great job, replacing all our rotted trim and painting our whole house in an impressively short amount of time. We have received multiple compliments on our siding repairs and house painting! Big thanks to Bill and his incredible crews!
