Siding in north county.
Lynden sits up near the Canadian border in the flat farm country of north Whatcom County, with its Dutch heritage downtown and miles of open ag land around it. The siding work here is more varied than in town. You've got older farmhouses with wood and original cladding that needs repair and matching, working ag outbuildings where durable engineered wood or metal siding makes more sense than fiber cement, and the newer subdivisions on the edge of town with builder vinyl and fiber cement reaching the point of upgrade. We handle all of it.
What ties Lynden together is the wind. Out on open ground with no trees or neighboring houses to break it, walls catch wind-driven rain from every direction, which puts the focus on flashing and fastening. We detail the windows and the weather barrier for wind-driven water, fasten the siding to hold in a blow, and pick materials to match the building: engineered wood or fiber cement for farmhouses and homes, metal panel for barns and outbuildings where toughness wins. It's a different mix than the Bellingham neighborhoods, and we're set up for it.

Climate & siding considerations
Lynden's open farm ground means wind-driven rain from every direction. We detail the flashing and fastening for the wind exposure and pick materials, from engineered wood to metal, to match each building.
