And when you dive into our workmanship standards and consistent track record of excellence, you’ll see why James Hardie trusts us.
Above-And-Beyond Installation Standards In Pacific Northwest
Our installation standards are much higher than the industry average and even greater than James Hardie’s requirements. If there’s a way to make your exterior system better, we’ll do it. For siding, our above-and-beyond components include:
- House Wraps: Other contractors often leave gaps or overlap incorrectly, which creates air and moisture leaks. We install house wraps seamlessly for complete protection.
- Rainscreens: Some contractors skip this step entirely. This leads to moisture behind the siding and can cause premature damage. We always include advanced rainscreens to ensure proper ventilation.
- Metal Flashing: Poorly installed flashing can cause water to seep into windows and doors. We fit flashing precisely to prevent leaks and long-term damage.
Of course, that’s in addition to your beautiful, durable siding. All components of your exterior system are pristinely installed by experienced pros who follow every manufacturing guideline.
A Dedicated Project Manager Who’s Active On Your Project
Your project manager is involved with your exterior project every step of the way. They’ll be at the worksite daily, and you’ll have a lead installer with years of experience guiding the crew.
And if you ever have a question? You can ask an on-site member of our team or call us. We’ll answer or call you back by the next business day. This ensures your project goes smoothly and finishes on time and within budget. And you’ll love the results.
25+ Years Of Hands-On Experience
Superior Exterior Systems has been in business since 2010 and James Hardie “Elite” for over a decade, but our experience dates much further back than that. Our owner, Chad, has worked in the industry for 25+ years, and he’s personally trained dozens of people on how to install James Hardie siding systems the RIGHT way.
And it’s not just our owner… our project managers and installers all have years of experience. They’re also well-trained to follow installation guidelines to a “T.” So, the job gets done right, and your warranty remains intact.
An Installation Warranty That Lasts For LIFE
We guarantee our work for life. Not for a year, not for three, and not for ten – Forever. If there’s ever an issue with how your exterior system was installed, you won’t pay a cent to have it fixed.
Why do we offer such a solid warranty when others don’t? Because we get it right the first time. Installation mistakes are rare, but if they happen, we handle them at no cost to you. Even if it costs us money or requires rearranging our schedule, we make it right.
No hidden clauses, no loopholes, and no broken promises. Guaranteed.

SES is an Elite Preferred Hardie installer, and it shows!
Superior Exterior Systems did a great job on my siding installation project. From the first contact I had with them, through the bid process and contract details, through the removal of my old vinyl siding and installation of HardiePlank Lap Siding, through the painting and final walk-through, everyone at this company was friendly, professional, and expert in their role. I was looking at bids from multiple companies, and SES stood out as one of the most competitive on price -- but what ultimately won my business was their flexibility and great communication both with me and between the various roles within the company. Artie was endlessly patient with my many questions during the initial discussion phase and showed flexibility and creativity in solving problems as we hammered out the plan for my exterior remodel. Both he and Matt (my project manager) showed a willingness to resolve my every concern to make sure I was happy with the result. When I interacted with the company office, both Michelle and Alanna impressed me with their clear communication and friendly demeanor. This really is a quality operation; they're honest and they stand by their work. The crew who came out to do the installation were amazing, showing that same level of professionalism and customer orientation. Mark, who headed up the installation crew on site, went above and beyond to make sure we had shared vision about trim and other details around some of the "quirky" places on my older home. Of course, the quality of the workmanship was excellent -- SES is an Elite Preferred Hardie installer, and it shows! -- but where they really shine is in their communication and relationship style. Both the siding installation and the painting were completed ahead of schedule, and the couple of small change orders we did were negotiated generously and in good faith. After the painting was completed, Artie and Matt came back to install a couple of exterior fixtures as agreed, and Artie made sure I was happy with everything before accepting final payment. Like I said -- this is a quality operation. SES will absolutely be the first call I'll make, next time I need any kind of exterior updates.
Transformed my tired old house
Superior Exterior transformed my 1996'ish, tired old house into a home we can fall in love with all over again! Brand new Hardi siding to refresh last-century "engineered" T1-11. Dry rot repairs repaired beyond industry standards. Removal of a 23 year-old deck. Installation of new Milgard windows including a beautiful bay window in the second-floor master bedroom. We feel at home again and it was Superior Exterior's acute attention to details (Thanks Mark & Brothers!) that made this a most successful project and a true transformation. As a retired construction project manager I know that every job can present challenges and sometimes things do not go as planned. In the middle of this job there was a significant rain/windstorm coming in so it was decided to pause the job for a day for safety of the crew. That evening (8:30pm) a major rain squall came through with massive rain and winds causing the rain to penetrate the protective plastic resulting in a slight leak in one of the windows. A call to Ricky at Superior Exterior and the crew was at my house within 30-minutes and the problem was resolved! The company owner (Thanks Chad!) also called to verify that things were taken care of. Can you still even get a pizza in 30 minutes anymore these days? From the bidding process (thanks Ricky and Alanna!) to job completion and final walkthrough, Superior Exterior understands that a successful job goes much further than the completion date. It's for the lifetime of your home.
The outcome was what we were hoping for
The initial consultation was very informative. We were shown samples, and given detailed information about how SES would work on our home. We had 3 companies give us bids and decided that Superior Exterior Systems was the company for us. There were usually 2 people here working on our project which took 3.5 weeks, as they didn't work everyday on our house. The crew was conscientious about cleaning up, especially on Friday afternoons so we could enjoy our yard. The crew was also very polite and accommodating. SES did all the work as promised, and the outcome was what we were hoping for.
