What Homeowners in Kent Ask

Common questions from residents across downtown, East Hill, and the Valley neighborhoods.

Do I need a permit for siding or deck work in Kent?

Yes. Kent requires permits for siding replacement, window installation, and all deck work. We submit and manage the permit process for you.

What's the best siding material for Kent's rain and moisture?

Vinyl with quality underlayment, composite, or fiber cement all work well. We recommend vinyl for affordability and durability when properly installed with good flashing and building paper.

Can I use wood decking in Kent's climate?

Pressure-treated wood is possible but requires maintenance. Composite decking resists rot and mold better in our wet climate and reduces upkeep.

What happens if I skip the building paper under siding?

Water gets behind the siding and rots your framing. Kent's 150+ rainy days make building paper essential—inspectors require it and we always install it.

Do you handle repairs, or only full replacement?

Both. Isolated damage gets patched. Widespread rot or decay typically calls for full siding replacement for safety and long-term protection.

Are you licensed and bonded in Kent?

Yes. We're fully licensed, insured, and bonded for all work in Kent and the surrounding area.
