Frequently asked questions

We are a local, family-owned contractor dedicated to quality, honest estimates, and professional installation. Our goal is to make your home renovation or new build as stress-free as possible. We pride ourselves on using quality materials, providing exceptional customer service, and ensuring every project reflects our commitment to excellence.

What product is the most durable and long-lasting?
The best product for durability and longevity often depends on your specific needs, budget, and the local climate. For the PNW, we recommend materials like fiber cement siding or certain types of engineered wood that are known for their resistance to moisture and weather extremes. We will discuss the best options for your project during our consultation.

How long does the process take from start to finish?

Project timelines vary significantly based on the scope and complexity of the work. A typical home renovation or new construction install can range from a few weeks for minor projects. We will provide a detailed timeline specific to your project in your estimate.

Can you match the existing home?
Yes, we strive to seamlessly integrate new construction or renovations with your existing home's style and materials. We work with a wide range of suppliers to find materials that match or complement your current aesthetic, ensuring a cohesive look.

Are there any additional costs I should expect?
We provide comprehensive and transparent estimates to minimize surprises. While we aim for accuracy, unforeseen issues (like discovering damaged sheathing) can sometimes lead to additional costs. We will communicate any potential additional costs immediately and discuss solutions with you before proceeding.

Will the old siding be removed before the new one is installed?
Yes, in most cases, we recommend and perform complete removal of old siding to inspect the underlying structure, address any issues, and ensure proper installation of the new materials for maximum longevity and performance.

What happens if the sheathing is damaged or rotting?
If we discover damaged or rotting sheathing during the removal of old siding, we will promptly inform you, explain the extent of the damage, and provide recommendations and an estimate for its repair or replacement before proceeding with the new installation. This is crucial for the structural integrity of your home.

Do we need to replace the old housewrap?
We strongly recommend replacing old housewrap, especially if it's damaged or aged. A new, high-quality housewrap provides a critical barrier against moisture and air infiltration, protecting your home's structure and improving energy efficiency.

Why do we need flashing above all doors and windows?
Flashing above doors and windows is essential for diverting water away from these vulnerable areas, preventing moisture intrusion that can lead to rot, mold, and structural damage. It's a critical component of a durable, weather-tight exterior.

How can we protect the current landscape around the house?
We take great care to protect your landscaping. Before starting any project, we implement protective measures such as covering plants, shrubs, and hardscapes, and clearly defining work zones to minimize disruption and damage.

Who handles cleanup after the project is complete?
Westpeak Homes LLC is responsible for all project-related cleanup. We ensure that your property is thoroughly cleaned, debris is removed, and the work area is left tidy and presentable once the project is finished.

Are you a local company?
Yes, Westpeak Homes LLC is a proud local, family-owned company based in Battle Ground, Washington. We are deeply committed to serving our community and building lasting relationships with our neighbors.

How far out are you scheduling?
Our scheduling varies depending on our current project load and the size of your project. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible to discuss your project and get on our schedule. We'll provide you with our current availability during your initial consultation.

Will we receive a detailed estimate?
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive, detailed estimates that clearly outline all costs, materials, and labor involved in your project, ensuring full transparency and no hidden fees.

Do I need to hire multiple contractors to complete the work?
No, Westpeak Homes LLC aims to be your all-in-one solution for home building and renovation. We manage all aspects of your project, coordinating all necessary trades and services, so you don't have to hire multiple contractors.

What should I do to prepare my home before starting?
We will provide you with a detailed checklist of preparations tailored to your project. Generally, this includes clearing the work area of personal items, ensuring access to necessary utilities, and discussing any specific concerns you have.
