Want Premium, Fully-Custom Cedar Siding In
The Pacific Northwest? We Have You Covered!
25+ Years Of Cedar Siding Installation Experience.
All Grades. All Profiles. All Styles.
Sure, synthetic cedar siding has come a long way, but nothing beats the REAL stuff. We’re talking good, old-fashioned natural cedar siding sourced from the Pacific Northwest. It’s made from actual, bona-fide, grade-A wood.
It simply looks better. It looks REAL… because it is real.
And when it’s installed properly, its insulating powers (R-value) are as good as anything you’ll find on the market. And it lasts.
However, if natural cedar siding isn’t installed right, it becomes vulnerable to rot, warping, and water damage.
At Superior Exterior Systems, we’ve installed natural cedar siding for over 25 years. With us, you get “Grade A” cedar AND a Grade-A installation.

How Does Cedar Siding Compare To Other Siding Materials?
Natural, authentic cedar siding offers a rustic charm that many prefer over vinyl siding and fiber cement siding.
It may require more maintenance over time than James Hardie siding, but cedar is 100% authentic and perfect for homeowners who want the most eco-friendly material possible.
How Does ColorPlus Technology Compare To Traditional Paint?
ColorPlus paint is “baked on.” That means they cure the paint to the James Hardie fiber cement for a strong bond. Essentially, the paint becomes one with the siding rather than simply adding an extra layer to it.
So, when it’s exposed to the tough Pacific Northwest weather, it doesn’t crack, chip, or peel. It LASTS.
How Does Vinyl Siding Compare To Other Siding Materials?
Vinyl siding is affordable, durable, and requires little maintenance. With numerous style options available, you can also customize the look (and even the feel) of your vinyl siding as well. It may not last as long as James Hardie, but it is an excellent and dependable option if you’re on a more limited budget and still want a high-quality solution.
How Much Does Cedar Siding Cost?
Since we use grade-A cedar sourced from local lumber yards in Portland, our cedar siding may cost more than many companies in the other. However, we remain as affordable as we can while maintaining our quality standards, and we’re FAR from the most expensive in the area.
How Much Does James Hardie Siding Cost?
Of course, the exact price of your project depends on the size of your home. However, on average, we’re not the cheapest or the most expensive James Hardie siding contractor. Instead, we aim for the best overall value, ensuring a nice balance between quality and affordability.
How Much Does Vinyl Siding Cost?
Vinyl siding is more affordable (on average) than cedar siding or James Hardie siding. However, the exact cost depends on the style you choose and the size of your home’s exterior. We do everything we can to keep our costs low while still maintaining our stringent standards for A+ quality.

Area Cedar Siding Customers Have To Say
We would choose them again for any work
They viewed us as people, not just a job
We chose Superior Exterior Systems because they were by far the most professional company from start to finish. We had 5 companies come and give us estimates to redo the exterior of our 1950's bungalow which still had original cedar shake siding with layers of paint. Ricky Carlson was the most professional estimator by far. He came with literature about the product, tools for precise measuring on the day in order to give us the best idea of cost, explained the process in detail on that day, including lead paint removal protocol (and repeated the information at the contract signing), emailed the estimate in a timely fashion (other companies never followed up with their estimate), followed COVID 19 protocols, and he was engaging and personable. He and the other employees were understanding when our family experienced a death, which delayed the start of the project. They viewed us as people, not just a job. The crew was professional, communicated to us about any issues that arose, cleaned up each night, and worked around a snow/ice event. I highly recommend this family owned company who goes the extra mile.
Attention to detail, remarkable work ethic, and obvious skill
After interviewing and getting quotes from four very highly rated exterior siding companies (three of which were Hardie Elite Preferred), we chose to go with Superior Exterior and could not be more pleased with our decision. Chad, the owner, was amazing from the first meeting. He is very knowledgable, patient (I had a million questions), and very honest. Everything we wanted and expected was outlined in our contract, and there were absolutely no surprises at all during the process. Chad's wife, Michelle, is the nicest, most pleasant person, and made scheduling super easy. Matt was the one who did the actual labor, and to state it simply, he and his crew are amazing. They completely transformed our home into something better than we even imagined. Their attention to detail, remarkable work ethic, and obvious skill made this whole process run so smoothly. We are just thrilled with the results of Superior's work. I didn't choose Superior just because of their excellent bid -- I went with my gut after meeting Chad. I could tell he was honest and wouldn't nickel and dime us, and I was right. I highly recommend them!
