Why We Install James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding
Not all siding performs the same, especially in the Pacific Northwest. James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered specifically for moisture-heavy and seasonal climates, built to resist warping, cracking, rotting, and swelling.
Engineered for Northwest Weather
Designed to handle rain, humidity, and temperature shifts without losing structural integrity.
Long-Lasting Color Technology
Factory-applied finishes resist fading and maintain their look for years with minimal maintenance.
Fire-Resistant Material
Fiber cement won’t ignite when exposed to direct flame, offering an added layer of protection.
Low Maintenance, High Durability
No frequent repainting, no rotting boards, and no constant upkeep.
More than 10 million homes nationwide feature James Hardie® products, trusted for performance, protection, and long-term value.
Built on a Complete Weather Protection System
Siding is only as strong as the system beneath it. Every Gorilla Works siding project includes full moisture management, not just surface installation, designed specifically for Pacific Northwest conditions.
Tyvek® WRB & WeatherSmart Protection
We install high-performance house wrap systems, including Tyvek WRB and WeatherSmart barriers, to create a protective layer between your home’s structure and exterior siding. This helps:
- Prevent moisture intrusion
- Improve air sealing
- Reduce long-term structural damage risk
- Support long-term siding performance

Custom In-House Flashing Fabrication
Unlike most contractors, Gorilla Works has an in-house flashing shop. We fabricate custom flashings for every project, ensuring precise fit and faster turnaround times.
- Cleaner integration around windows and doors
- Proper water redirection
- Reduced installation delays
- Lower overall project costs

Installed Like a Commercial Project
Our installation methods reflect the same standards used on commercial buildings, because moisture control, flashing, and detail work determine how well your siding performs over time. We don’t cut corners on what you can’t see.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Gorilla works! The sales guy was awesome-professional, friendly, and great to work with from start to finish. The installers were just as great! They were very friendly, respectful of our home, and did an excellent job installing our new windows. Overall, we are very happy with our new windows and the entire experience. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional, and I’m happy to recommend Gorilla Works to anyone looking for new windows.
Gorilla Works did an amazing job with my new privacy fence. It turned out even better than I hoped for. Because the fence is so beautiful, I’m going to need to quit neglecting my yard and bring it up the beauty and quality of the fence. Highly recommend them. Pricing was really good, and they were very even able to start and get done in a shorter timeframe than anticipated.
We had new vinyl windows installed about 4-5 wks ago by Gorilla Works. We needed 15 windows. We thought 15 windows were ordered and getting installed. Installation day came. 14 windows were installed and paid for. We still need a 15th window. After some confusion, some miscommunication. And a call from the owner. We are getting our 15th window!! Yay! You will be glad you went with Gorilla Works!! David, Anton, Isaac, Eric, and Alvin you guys are all exceptional! They will go above and beyond to make sure you have a 5 star experience! You deserve 100 stars!
Did a beautiful job!
