Oil canning is a conversation
Thin panel on an uneven wall will show waves. We talk about gauge, color and substrate before the metal is ordered, not after it is on the house.
SIDING · METAL
Metal Siding and Standing Seam Walls
Metal siding — standing seam and flat panel — is how a lot of newer Eastside architecture wants to read: dark, quiet, and precise. It only works if the substrate is flat and every penetration is flashed into the panel system, not caulked onto the face. We install metal wall panels as part of a re-side or a new elevation, with the trim and the soffit drawn to the same line.
Included in this scope
- Standing seam or flush metal wall panels in a coil color
- A flat, dry substrate and underlayment the panel maker expects
- Trim, copings and transitions to lap siding, windows and roofs
- Fasteners and clips hidden or aligned, not a field of screws
- Coordination with metal roofing when the wall and roof should match
Details that change the result
It meets the windows cleanly
A standing seam wall wants a jamb that belongs to the panel. We detail that with the window package if both are in scope.
Commercial cousins
The same panel language shows up on multi-family and light commercial. Those scopes live on the commercial siding page.

Questions
Before you call
Will metal siding be loud in the rain?
On a wall, much less than people expect. The noise people remember is an unlined metal roof. A solid substrate and the right profile keep a wall quiet.
Can you match a metal roof?
Yes, when we order wall and roof from the same manufacturer and color run. Do that in one project. Matching a five-year-old roof color is a best effort, and we will show a sample.
Is metal a good idea under firs?
Needles and moss collect in any horizontal seam. We design the profile and the drip so debris does not sit in a shelf, and we tell you what a yearly rinse looks like.
