Choosing the best siding replacement contractor in Sonoma County can be difficult. However, having good exterior siding is critical to maintaining a watertight and dry-rot free home. In my 30 plus years in construction I have seen a lot of unnecessary damage due to neglect of exterior painting and siding maintenance. Siding is often thought of as cosmetic, but it is really more for the purpose of protecting the structural framing of your home, as well as other components such as insulation, electrical wiring etc.
GreenRun Construction can assist you in making sure your home is watertight and free from fungus and dry-rot. Some of the services we provide are:
- Removal and replacement of old damaged siding. All brands and profiles available, including standard T1-11 panels.

We are not the lowest bid in Sonoma County, and we don't try to be. Winning a low-bid contest usually requires cutting corners on waterproofing, flashing, and code compliance—which costs you far more in hidden dry-rot repairs later. We install complete protection systems built to safeguard your home for decades.

❓ Answers to Your Siding Questions
Why do your siding estimates differ from low-bid contractors?
We don't just nail new panels over old walls; we install an exterior waterproofing system. Low-bid crews often cut costs by skipping window flashing, rushing labor, working unpermitted, or mounting siding directly over hidden dry rot. Our bids are thorough and are designed to protect your home for decades.
What is the difference between cosmetic siding work and a complete exterior system?
Cosmetic installers focus only on how the exterior boards look on day one. A complete exterior system focuses on what protects your home underneath. We strip back old materials, repair compromised framing, and integrate weather-resistive barriers (WRB) alongside flashing membranes around all windows, doors, and wall penetrations before the siding ever goes up.
Can a quick, low-cost siding installation void my product warranty?
Yes. Leading manufacturers like James Hardie® strictly enforce installation guidelines regarding ground clearances, moisture barriers, and specific fastening patterns. Cut-corner installers frequently violate these specifications to speed up labor, which immediately voids your 30-year manufacturer warranty and leaves you unprotected against future material failures.
How do you handle hidden dry rot found during the removal process?
"Quick Turn" crews often ignore or cover up dry rot because diagnosing and fixing it slows down their timeline. With 20+ years of local general contracting experience, GreenRun handles structural framing repairs in-house. We completely remove compromised timber and rebuild the underlying structure before installing your new siding.
Are your siding projects fully permitted and compliant with Sonoma County codes?
Always. Skipping building permits might save a low-bid contractor time, but it leaves you vulnerable to fines, insurance denial during storm damage, and major disclosure issues when selling your home. GreenRun manages all permitting, engineering requirements, and local code inspections from start to finish.
What siding materials offer the best protection for Sonoma County homes?
Honestly, the best protection is more about weather-proofing than the actual siding.
As long as the proper weather-proofing is applied before siding installation, the siding material you choose, when properly maintained, should last for the suggested lifetime of the product. Some products have a longer life, such as non-combustible James Hardie® fiber cement and LP® SmartSide® engineered wood siding. Both materials offer exceptional durability, resistance to rot and pests, and superior performance in fire-prone regions when paired with proper building-envelope waterproofing.
How do I schedule an on-site evaluation for my siding project?
Our process begins with a quick, initial phone consultation to discuss your home’s exterior, project goals, and timeline. Because we specialize exclusively in high-quality, fully permitted waterproofing and siding systems—rather than quick, low-bid cosmetic overlays—this call ensures our approach aligns with your expectations. If your project is a good mutual fit, we’ll schedule a comprehensive on-site technical inspection and evaluation. Call us directly 707-812-7006 or complete our Online Project Form.
