Tacoma, WA · Pierce County
Tacoma homes take more weather than most of the South Sound, particularly along the water and on the exposed hillsides. Wind-driven rain finds unsealed edges and missing flashing far faster here than inland. We have re-sided oceanfront-exposed homes near Marine View Drive with a full weather barrier and enhanced flashing. Written quote before any deposit, 2-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties.
James Hardie, LP SmartSide, cedar, and metal siding installation by a James Hardie Alliance enrolled contractor. Free in-home estimates across Tacoma, Lakewood, University Place, and the South Sound.
Tacoma sits in one of the wettest, most weather-tested corners of the country. Between the marine air off Commencement Bay, the freeze-thaw cycles in winter, and 150+ days of rain a year, exterior siding here takes a beating that most of the country never sees. Cheap vinyl warps. Untreated wood rots. Painted hardboard delaminates. The materials we install — James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, cedar, and metal cladding — are the four siding types built to survive Pierce County weather for 30 to 50 years.
PrimeGuard Exteriors is a local siding contractor serving Tacoma, based in nearby Puyallup. We're not a national franchise routing your job through a call center in another state. When you call, you talk to the owner. When the crew shows up, they're local. And when we say we'll stand behind the install for the life of your ownership, the warranty paperwork goes home in your hands at the end of the project.

James Hardie fiber cement and LP SmartSide engineered wood are the two top performers in Pierce County. 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 Tacoma home fall between $18,000 and $55,000 depending on square footage, material, trim complexity, and how much dry rot we uncover. We give you an itemized written estimate on the first visit — no "rough range" pricing.
A typical Tacoma 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.
Yes. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation and a written, itemized quote — scope, materials, and price in writing before any work begins. No pressure, no obligation.
2-year workmanship warranty, plus the manufacturer warranties on your materials. That sits on top of the manufacturer warranty (James Hardie 30 years, LP SmartSide 50 years, cedar per manufacturer). Two layers of warranty on every job.
