Stumpfire Exteriors · A Division of Stumpfire Construction LLC

When the envelope fails,
everything inside follows.

Siding, cladding, and building envelope systems managed with the precision of an executive GC — with personally selected crews held to an uncompromising standard. The exterior is where your building's longevity is either earned or lost. We take that seriously.

Building Envelope · Layer by Layer
Exterior Cladding
Siding, panels, or masonry — the visible face and first weather barrier
Critical
Weather Resistive Barrier
House wrap or building paper — blocks moisture, allows vapor movement
Critical
Drainage Plane
Air gap or drainage mat — routes water away from the wall assembly
Key Layer
Continuous Insulation
Thermal break that eliminates bridging and improves energy performance
Key Layer
Structural Sheathing
Structural panel base — the framing's stiffness and a secondary layer of moisture protection
Key Layer
Most failures occur at the intersections between these layers — flashing terminations, penetrations, and transitions. This is where Stumpfire's GC-level oversight makes the difference.

Exterior failures don't announce themselves. They accumulate.

A compromised building envelope rarely announces itself. It works slowly — moisture behind a wall, insulation losing R-value, wood framing beginning to soften. By the time it's visible, the damage has been compounding for years.

1
Siding installed without a proper drainage plane

Moisture has no exit path — it enters the wall assembly and stays there

2
Weather resistive barrier not lapped correctly

Wind-driven rain bypasses the WRB — water reaches the sheathing

3
Sheathing begins to delaminate and soften

Structural integrity of the wall starts to degrade — often invisibly

4
Mold, rot, and insulation failure follow

A $4,000 siding job becomes a $40,000 remediation — and sometimes more

What Stumpfire Exteriors installs

Every exterior system we install is specified for longevity, thermal performance, and the specific demands of Pacific Northwest weather. No catalog defaults. No subcontracted shortcuts.

Fiber Cement Siding

James Hardie and equivalent fiber cement systems — the industry benchmark for durability, dimensional stability, and paint retention in wet climates. Installed with proper drainage gap and flashing at every termination.

  • HardiePlank lap siding
  • HardiePanel vertical siding
  • HardieTrim boards
  • Drainage mat installation
  • Full flashing package
Composite & Trim Systems

Azek, Kleer, and similar cellular PVC trim and panel systems — dimensionally stable, rot-proof, and paint-retention tested for decades of Pacific Northwest weather. Used where wood trim historically fails first: soffits, fascia, window surrounds, and corner systems.

  • Cellular PVC trim boards
  • Rot-proof at all exposures
  • Paintable and stainable
  • Ideal alongside fiber cement
  • 50+ year service life
Metal Panel Cladding

Corrugated, ribbed, and flat metal panel systems for modern residential and agricultural applications. Durable, low-maintenance, and well-suited to the contemporary Pacific Northwest aesthetic.

  • Corrugated steel and aluminum
  • Flat panel rainscreen systems
  • Agricultural and shop buildings
  • 50+ year service life
  • Ideal for energy-efficient builds
Cedar & Wood Siding

When natural wood is the right choice — properly selected, properly installed. Cedar siding installed with the correct drainage plane, back-priming, and ventilation details that make the difference between 15 years and 50.

  • Clear cedar bevel and channel
  • Board and batten systems
  • Back-priming included
  • Drainage plane standard
  • Available pre-finished
Exterior Repair & Remediation

Failed siding, moisture damage, rot remediation, and envelope corrections. We diagnose the actual failure point — not just replace the visible damage — so the problem doesn't return in three years.

  • Moisture damage assessment
  • Rot repair and sheathing replacement
  • WRB corrections
  • Flashing remediation
  • Partial and full re-sides
Complete System
The Complete Building Envelope
Everything between your structure and the weather.

For new construction and full re-sides, Stumpfire Exteriors manages the complete envelope system — WRB installation, drainage plane, continuous insulation, cladding, windows and door integration, and all flashing transitions. This is the approach that produces a building that actually performs as designed and holds its thermal efficiency for decades. It's also the approach that supports your energy sovereignty goals — because a leaky envelope defeats even the best mechanical systems.


Selected for longevity, not margin

Every material we recommend is chosen based on documented performance in Pacific Northwest climate conditions — not wholesale pricing or brand relationships.

Maximum Longevity

The difference you won't see — until you do

The quality of an exterior installation is largely invisible on completion day. It shows up over years — in energy bills, maintenance costs, and whether the building is still performing in 30 years.

01
Executive oversight — not a sales rep, not a crew lead
Our founder has served as VP at Pfeifer Roofing, President of Windsor Builders Group, and Project Manager at Fairfield Development, Hoffman Corporation, and Solterra. Your project is managed at that level — with personally vetted subcontractors selected for their craftsmanship and held accountable to Stumpfire's standard throughout.
02
Drainage plane on every installation
No exceptions. Every exterior system we oversee includes a proper drainage plane — the detail most contractors skip because it adds time and material cost to a job they've already bid too tight.
03
GC-level flashing execution
Window and door flashing, penetration sealing, transition details at rooflines and foundations — executed with the rigor of a general contractor, not a siding crew whose scope ends at the field panels.
04
Thermal performance matters to us
We understand that the exterior envelope is directly tied to energy performance. Continuous insulation, thermal bridging elimination, and airtight detailing support your energy sovereignty goals from the outside in.
05
Prompt estimates, fair pricing
We move quickly — you'll hear from us by the next business day, and your exterior proposal follows promptly. What's in the proposal is what you pay — no lowball bids, no change order games, no surprises at invoice.
"The siding that looks fine on day one can be actively destroying the building behind it. We manage exteriors the way they were designed to be built — not the way that's fastest to bid."

As VP at Pfeifer Roofing, President of Windsor Builders Group, and Project Manager at Fairfield Development, Hoffman Corporation, and Solterra — our founder has overseen exterior and envelope work at every scale across the Pacific Northwest. That experience now sits behind every Stumpfire Exteriors project, with personally selected crews accountable to the same standard.
