Gig Harbor, WA · Pierce County
Gig Harbor’s waterfront and wooded lots are hard on siding. Salt air, wind-driven rain and shade that keeps walls damp all shorten the life of a poorly detailed wall. Fiber cement is usually the safer choice on the most exposed elevations. 2-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties, quoted in writing before any deposit.
Premium siding installation for Gig Harbor homes — James Hardie, LP SmartSide, cedar, and metal. Free in-home estimates across Gig Harbor, Fox Island, and the Key Peninsula.
Waterfront homes in Gig Harbor deal with conditions most siding never has to handle: salt-air corrosion, sustained wind exposure from the Sound, intense UV reflection off the water, and the kind of horizontal rain that finds every gap in a flashing job. The materials we install — James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, cedar, and especially metal cladding (which holds up exceptionally well in marine environments) — are the four siding types that actually survive Gig Harbor's coastal conditions long-term.
PrimeGuard Exteriors is a local siding contractor based in Puyallup, a short drive from the Narrows. We understand Gig Harbor's mix of historic harbor cottages, modern waterfront builds, and forested-lot homes near Crescent Lake and Rosedale. We bring the same care to a 1940s harbor cottage as we do to a 2020 contemporary on Fox Island.

James Hardie fiber cement and LP SmartSide engineered wood are the two top performers in the Gig Harbor area. Both resist moisture, hold paint longer than vinyl or hardboard, and carry 30-year and 50-year manufacturer warranties respectively. Cedar is also an excellent choice if you want a natural look and are willing to maintain it with stain or oil every 5-7 years.
Most full siding replacements on a single-family Gig Harbor home fall between $20,000 and $70,000 depending on square footage, material, trim complexity, and dry rot repair. Waterfront and Fox Island projects often require additional weather sealing and corrosion-resistant fasteners. We give you an itemized written estimate on the first visit.
A typical Gig Harbor single-family home takes 5 to 12 working days from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger homes, complex trim work, or significant dry rot repair can extend that timeline. We give you a firm start and finish date before we begin.
Yes — and it's the smart move. Replacing windows during a siding project gives a cleaner flashing job, a better weather seal, and saves on trim labor. We install vinyl, fiberglass, and wood-clad replacement windows alongside any siding job.
