Serving homeowners across Three Tree Point, Seahurst, Gregory Heights, Lake Burien, and Maplewild. Exterior work built for Burien’s Puget Sound climate — from waterfront estates to established inland neighborhoods.
Local Siding and Window Improvements in Burien, WA
Burien is a city of extraordinary range. Three Tree Point extends into Puget Sound on three sides — a peninsula neighborhood where waterfront estates carry price tags above $3 million and homes built as early as 1939 sit among native evergreens with unobstructed Sound and mountain views. A few miles inland, Gregory Heights and the Lake Burien enclave offer established family neighborhoods at a fraction of that price point, with housing stock from the 1960s through the 1980s that is entering its most significant exterior maintenance period.That range — from multi-million dollar waterfront estates to solid mid-century family homes — means exterior work in Burien is not one-size-fits-all. The material specification appropriate for a Three Tree Point home dealing with direct Puget Sound marine exposure differs from what makes sense for a 1972 Gregory Heights rambler on a tree-lined inland street. Both deserve the same installation quality. The details differ.Smith Exteriors LLC serves Burien homeowners across all of the city’s neighborhoods — from Three Tree Point and Seahurst on the waterfront to Gregory Heights, Lake Burien, and the established inland communities closer to Olde Burien. Being close to Puget Sound means homes here see steady moisture year-round, and we install systems built to handle that exposure correctly.

Burien’s Neighborhoods We Serve
Burien’s neighborhoods divide between Puget Sound waterfront communities with premium marine exposure and established inland residential areas with standard Pacific Northwest moisture conditions. Here is what we see most frequently in each area:
- Burien, WA
Three Tree Point
Three Tree Point is a waterfront point surrounded by Puget Sound on three sides, with homes from pre-war estates to modern custom builds. Nearly every elevation faces salt air, wind-driven spray, and open-water humidity, so we specify stainless fasteners and corrosion-resistant flashing and hardware here.
- Burien, WA
Seahurst & Maplewild
Seahurst and Maplewild are Burien's quieter waterfront and bluff-top communities near Seahurst Park, with homes ranging from street level to high on the bluff. West-facing walls take storms straight off the Sound, so siding and windows on those elevations wear faster than elsewhere on the home.
- Burien, WA
Gregory Heights
Gregory Heights is an established family neighborhood in western Burien, with tree-lined streets near Gregory Heights Park and mostly 1960s to 1980s homes on generous lots. Shaded north walls stay wet longer after rain, so moss and paint wear are common, and original siding and windows are due.
- Burien, WA
Lake Burien
Lake Burien is a quiet enclave around a private freshwater lake, with a distinctly different feel from the Sound-facing neighborhoods to the west. The lake setting raises ground-level humidity, adding moisture at siding base courses and lower windows on homes ranging from mid-century to newer builds.
- Burien, WA
Olde Burien & Central
The neighborhoods around Olde Burien's commercial core and central Burien mix pre-war homes, mid-century construction, and 1970s to 1990s houses. Exterior needs vary widely, from homes needing major repair to well-kept properties that simply need new siding and windows as originals wear out.
Serving Burien, WA with Care and Craftsmanship
In Burien, we are known for providing exterior solutions that reflect careful planning and solid workmanship — and for treating every project as if the outcome matters, because it does.Burien’s range of neighborhoods and housing types means we bring different technical considerations to different projects across the city. A Three Tree Point waterfront estate and a Gregory Heights 1970s rambler are both deserving of quality work — but the material specifications, the installation details at marine-exposed connections, and the assessment of what the wall beneath the existing siding needs are genuinely different conversations.We have those conversations during every estimate. Smith Exteriors LLC is licensed, bonded, and insured — Washington State contractor license SMITHEL789PE — with no subcontracting and a craftsmanship warranty on every project we complete.
Durable Exterior Improvements
Smith Exteriors LLC helps Burien homeowners invest in siding and window systems that offer dependable protection and lasting value — built for the specific conditions each property faces based on where it sits in the city.For waterfront and bluff-top properties in Three Tree Point, Seahurst, and Maplewild, that means marine-specified materials and fasteners, window frame recommendations that account for salt air corrosion, and flashing products rated for sustained exposure to Puget Sound conditions. For inland Burien homes in Gregory Heights, Lake Burien, and the central neighborhoods, it means correct moisture management installation — proper underlayment, flashed transitions at all openings, and base course clearance that keeps siding away from ground-level moisture accumulation.We focus on installation practices that support durability and minimize future concerns — on waterfront properties and inland homes alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve all neighborhoods in Burien, WA?
Yes. We serve homeowners throughout Burien including Three Tree Point, Seahurst, Maplewild, Gregory Heights, Lake Burien, and the central neighborhoods near Olde Burien. Call us at 206-660-3896 or submit the estimate form to confirm availability for your address.
Does living near Puget Sound in Three Tree Point or Seahurst affect my exterior materials?
Yes, significantly. Three Tree Point is surrounded by Puget Sound on three sides — the marine exposure there is the most concentrated in our service area. Seahurst and Maplewild bluff-top properties face direct west-exposure from Pacific weather systems. Salt air at these locations accelerates corrosion at metal fasteners, window hardware, and flashing components faster than inland Burien properties. We specify stainless fasteners, marine-rated flashing, and corrosion-resistant window hardware on all Three Tree Point and waterfront-adjacent Burien projects.
My Three Tree Point home was built before 1950 -- what should I expect when the siding is replaced?
Pre-war homes in Three Tree Point have absorbed 75 or more years of Puget Sound marine exposure. When original wood siding is removed on these properties, the wall sheathing beneath frequently shows moisture damage, failed original flashing, and in some cases structural issues at base course level where ground contact or poor drainage has allowed sustained moisture to reach framing. We inspect the full wall before specifying new material and address any structural or moisture damage we find before installation begins.
What siding material is best for waterfront homes in Burien?
James Hardie fiber cement siding is the strongest choice for Three Tree Point, Seahurst, and Maplewild properties because it does not corrode, does not absorb moisture, and is noncombustible — all properties that matter on Puget Sound waterfront properties. It is installed with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners on marine-exposed properties. For inland Gregory Heights and Lake Burien homes where marine exposure is not a factor, the full range of material options applies.
How much does siding and window replacement cost in Burien, WA?
For standard inland Burien properties, full siding replacement typically ranges from $12,000 to $29,000 depending on home size and material. Waterfront properties in Three Tree Point and Seahurst may involve additional cost for marine-specified fasteners, flashing products, and window frame materials. Window replacement runs $380 to $1,100 per window for vinyl and $1,100 to $2,200 for fiberglass or wood — fiberglass is the more common specification on waterfront Burien properties. We provide free, itemized estimates for all projects.
Do you replace siding and windows at the same time?
Yes. Combining both services in one project is particularly important on Burien waterfront properties where any unsealed gap at a window-to-siding transition is a direct marine moisture entry point. Replacing both together ensures flashing and sealing work as an integrated system. It also reduces total labor cost compared to scheduling both separately.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Burien, WA?
Yes. Smith Exteriors LLC is a licensed, bonded, and insured Washington State contractor. Our registration number is SMITHEL789PE, verifiable through the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries contractor lookup tool.
