What is Lap Siding?
Lap siding is one of the most classic and dependable exterior materials for homes in the Inland Northwest. It’s built from overlapping horizontal boards that create a clean, layered look while protecting your home from wind and rain. Traditionally made from wood, lap siding is now available in durable options like fiber cement, engineered wood, and vinyl, all designed to handle our region’s changing seasons and heavy moisture. The overlapping design helps water run off easily, keeping your home dry and secure year-round.
Why do we use it?
Lap siding is popular across Idaho and Eastern Washington because it blends timeless style with reliable performance. It complements everything from traditional craftsman homes to modern builds and offers long-lasting protection with very little upkeep.
Homeowners choose lap siding because it is:
- Visually timeless and enhances curb appeal.
- Highly weather-resistant, ideal for Northwest rain and snow.
- Offered in multiple materials and finishes for different budgets.
- Low-maintenance, with minimal cleaning or repainting required.
- Energy-efficient when installed with proper insulation.
- Customizable to match your home’s design and character.
Lap siding is a trusted favorite throughout the Inland Northwest, combining lasting durability with the classic beauty that makes a house feel like home.
