Why Pacific Northwest Homeowners Choose Red Raven Exteriors
Living in Western Washington means your home's exterior faces a relentless assault from the elements that most parts of the country never experience. Over 37 inches of annual rainfall, persistent humidity levels that stay above 80% for months at a time, wind-driven rain that strikes walls at sharp angles, and aggressive moss and algae growth that colonizes every surface from rooftops to decking boards — these conditions demand materials and installation techniques specifically chosen and executed for this climate. A contractor who builds the same way in Kirkland as they would in Phoenix or Dallas is setting your home up for premature failure.
Red Raven Exteriors was founded in Kirkland specifically to serve King County and Snohomish County homeowners who need exterior work done right for the Pacific Northwest. Every material recommendation we make, every flashing detail we install, and every drainage strategy we design is informed by years of hands-on experience with homes throughout Bellevue, Redmond, Sammamish, Woodinville, Bothell, Shoreline, Renton, Kent, and dozens of communities across our service area. We have seen firsthand what lasts and what fails in this climate, and we build exclusively with products and practices that deliver long-term performance.
Our headquarters on NE 122nd Way in Kirkland means we are centrally located to serve the entire Eastside and beyond with fast response times. When you call Red Raven, you reach our local team — not a national call center. Your project is managed by the same people from initial consultation through final walkthrough, ensuring consistent communication and accountability at every stage.
Kirkland-Headquartered, Locally Owned
Our office is in Kirkland and our crews live throughout King and Snohomish County. We are not a franchise or a national chain — we are your neighbors, and our reputation in this community is everything to us.

Expert Construction
Our in-house crews execute the work to exacting standards. We protect your landscaping, maintain a clean job site, and provide daily progress updates. If we discover hidden issues like rot or structural damage, we document and discuss solutions before proceeding.
Final Walkthrough
We inspect every detail with you, ensure you are completely satisfied, schedule any required final inspections, and provide a maintenance guide tailored to your specific materials and the Pacific Northwest climate.
Built for the Pacific Northwest Climate
Every exterior decision in Western Washington must account for our unique climate challenges. Here is how we engineer your home's exterior to thrive — not just survive — in the wettest urban corridor in the continental United States.
Moisture Management
Western Washington delivers over 37 inches of rain annually, with most falling between October and April. Our installations incorporate rain screen gaps behind siding, self-adhering joist tape on deck framing, ice-and-water shield membrane in roof valleys, and proper flashing sequences at every window and door opening to manage this persistent moisture load.
Moss & Algae Prevention
Our shaded, humid conditions create ideal growing environments for moss, algae, and lichen on roofs, siding, and decks. We specify algae-resistant roofing shingles, recommend composite decking with antimicrobial surface technology, and install zinc strips along roof ridges to inhibit biological growth before it starts.
Wind & Storm Resilience
Puget Sound convergence zone storms bring gusts exceeding 60 mph several times each winter. We install roofing shingles with 130-mph wind ratings, use enhanced nailing patterns in exposed areas, and specify impact-resistant siding and windows rated for our wind zone to protect your home during the worst storms the region can deliver.
Energy Efficiency
With heating costs driving the majority of PNW energy bills during our long, cool winters, properly insulated siding systems, Low-E argon-filled windows, and adequately ventilated roof assemblies make a measurable difference. Our window and siding upgrades routinely reduce heating costs by 20-35% while qualifying for federal tax credits and local utility rebates.
Serving 16+ Cities Across King County & Snohomish County
Headquartered in Kirkland, we provide expert exterior renovation services to homeowners from Seattle to Snohomish, from Mercer Island to Mill Creek. Our central Eastside location means fast response times and deep familiarity with local building codes, permit processes, and neighborhood architectural standards across both counties.
Whether you are upgrading a 1960s rambler in Shoreline, replacing the roof on a Sammamish Plateau home surrounded by towering Douglas firs, or building a multi-level composite deck for a Bellevue hillside property with views of the Cascades, our crews have the experience and local knowledge to deliver exceptional results tailored to your specific neighborhood and home style.
What Our Customers Say
We have earned a 4.9-star rating across 127 reviews by treating every project — whether a simple gutter repair or a full exterior renovation — with the same attention to detail, transparent communication, and expert craftsmanship.
"Red Raven built a 400-square-foot Trex Transcend deck off our second story in Finn Hill. The quality is unbelievable — every board is perfectly aligned, the railing is rock solid, and they handled the Kirkland permits without us lifting a finger. Two years later, it still looks brand new despite constant rain."
"After getting four estimates for a full roof replacement on our Bellevue home, we chose Red Raven because their estimate was the most detailed and their team actually spent time in our attic checking ventilation. They found rotted sheathing that two other companies missed. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles look fantastic and the Golden Pledge warranty gives us peace of mind."
"We had James Hardie HardiePlank siding installed on our 1978 split-level in Redmond. Red Raven found extensive rot behind the old T1-11 siding that had been leaking for years. They replaced all the damaged sheathing and framing, installed a proper rain screen system, and the ColorPlus finish looks incredible. Worth every penny for the structural repairs alone."
