Ways to save in Seattle
- Side over existing vinyl where code allows to skip removal and disposal.
- Choose a standard color and profile — custom orders add 15% to 25%.
- Book in late fall or winter when exterior crews slow down.
- Do the whole house at once; partial jobs never blend and cost more per square foot.
- Fix sheathing and flashing properly now rather than repairing rot in five years.
