Thanksgiving is almost here, Seattle, and while you're busy debating whether cranberry sauce should be shaped like a can or homemade (spoiler: no one eats it either way), there's something you might be forgetting to put on your gratitude list:
đ Your siding.
Yes, siding. The unsung hero of your home. The thing you probably haven't thought about since the last time you had to Google, "Why is my living room wall sweating?"
But as the turkey defrosts and the in-laws start texting you their "What should I bring?" messages (after you already assigned them the drinks), now is the perfect time to ask:
âIs my home actually ready for fall and winter?â
Because if your siding is cracked, warped, or holding on for dear life, guess what? Youâre not hosting Thanksgiving dinnerâyouâre hosting mold, drafts, and a surprise spike in your heating bill.
Letâs state the obvious: Seattle weather is... extra.
Itâs like someone took a regular forecast and added a twist of, âOh, you werenât expecting sideways rain and a windstorm at 3 AM? Thatâs on you.â
That kind of weather beats the stuffing out of your homeâs exterior.
And siding? Itâs your first line of defense against:
Moisture damage
Insulation loss
Pests
And the soul-crushing chill of the PNW winter
But siding doesnât yell for help. It just... slowly gives up. Which is why now, before the cold really kicks in, is the time to inspect and repair that outer armor.
You know how people ignore obvious signs until something catches fire? (Usually in a sitcom, occasionally in real life?) Thatâs what most homeowners do with siding. So hereâs your cheat sheet:
Your siding should not look like itâs breathing. If itâs bubbling out or sagging in weird spots, thatâs usually water damage, poor installation, or both.
Those arenât âventilation upgrades.â Thatâs your siding inviting the wind and rain in for a sleepover.
If your siding looks like it moonlights as a science experiment, itâs not protecting your home. Itâs a sponge.
Your house might be working harder than a Thanksgiving host with one oven and 18 dishes. If your siding isnât doing its job, your heat is literally escaping out the walls.
Here at Yakima Siding Pro, we may be based out of Yakima, but we love taking our talents on tour to Seattle and beyond. Because no siding deserves to be neglectedâespecially in a city where it rains so much, even your raincoat has a backup raincoat.
Hereâs how we help:
We fix the problem without overdoing it. If your siding just needs a touch-up, weâre not going to pitch you a full siding replacement like itâs a timeshare.

We inspect your siding like a detective solving a case. âWho let this moisture in? Why does this fascia look like itâs been chewed on? Is this a raccoon hideout?â We donât stop until we find the truth.
We repair:

Letâs be realâif you wait until December, youâll be too busy dodging holiday chaos and credit card bills to deal with siding. Nowâs the time. Before the heavy rains. Before the cold. Before your home gives you the silent treatment (in the form of mildew).
This Thanksgiving, while youâre counting your blessingsâfamily, friends, foodâadd this one to the list:
âI donât need to wear a parka in my own living room.â
Repair your siding. Keep your home warm, dry, and drama-free. Because nothing ruins a holiday faster than a ceiling drip over the stuffing.
