Siding Replacement & Re-Side in Star, ID
Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River
Star's fast growth along the Boise River hasn't erased its rural-residential character — original farmhouses, 1980s–1990s ranch homes, and new custom builds share its acreage and horse-property lots. The riverside setting shapes the re-side work: lower, river-adjacent lots take on more moisture than the dry valley floor, and on older homes that means siding and the barrier behind it can rot and pull loose where the surface still looks intact. Iron Crest Exteriors strips the old cladding to the sheathing, finds and repairs any moisture-driven framing damage, re-laps a continuous weather barrier with flashing at every opening, and re-clads in a stable material. Near the water, the tear-off and proper drainage detailing are what make the new wall genuinely weather-tight.

Our process
How siding replacement & re-side works in Star
- 01
Scope & material selection
We assess the home, lay out material, profile, and color options with honest trade-offs, and quote a full re-side with a clear, written scope.
- 02
Complete tear-off & haul-away
All old siding and trim come off and we haul it away, leaving the wall bare and ready for an honest inspection — no cover-ups.
- 03
Substrate inspection & repair
We inspect the sheathing and framing, repair or replace any rot or water damage, and document anything that affects the scope before covering it back up.
- 04
Weather barrier & flashing
A continuous, correctly lapped weather-resistive barrier goes on with flashing integrated at every window, door, penetration, and transition.
- 05
Install, trim & finish
New siding is installed to manufacturer spec with matching trim, fascia, and soffit, then sealed and finished as one system.
- 06
Cleanup & walkthrough
A magnetic nail sweep clears the site and we walk the finished home with you before calling it complete.
Every Star job includes pulling any permit Ada County requires and a full clean-up — we leave your home tight, weather-sealed, and looking sharp.
Working in Star
Star, riverside acreage growing fast along the Boise River
Star is one of the valley's fastest-growing small towns, strung along the Boise River at the western edge of Ada County. It keeps a rural-residential character — acreage lots and horse properties — even as new subdivisions arrive, so the housing stock spans original farmhouses, 1980s–1990s ranch homes, and recent custom and tract builds.
Riverside exposure in Star means siding and trim take on more moisture and humidity than drier parts of the valley, especially on the lower, river-adjacent lots. Older farmhouses and 1980s–1990s homes on larger lots frequently need a full re-side and window upgrade to be genuinely weather-tight, while new builds on open ground face the usual wind-driven sun fade.

Siding Replacement & Re-Side in Star — FAQs
On a lower river-adjacent lot in Star, how do you keep a re-side from trapping moisture in the wall?
The protection is built into how the wall goes back together, not just the siding chosen. After tear-off on Star's lower, river-adjacent lots we re-lap a continuous weather-resistive barrier and integrate flashing at every window, door, and penetration so any moisture that gets behind the cladding drains back out rather than sitting against the sheathing. We also leave proper clearances and detail the bottom of the wall to shed water. Because we strip to the sheathing first, we catch and repair any existing moisture damage before the new system goes on.
Do you offer siding replacement & re-side throughout Star?

Is Star the only area you cover?
No — Star is one of many. We also serve Eagle, Middleton, Meridian and the broader Treasure Valley, including homes around the Boise River.
What's the site like after the work is done in Star?
Spotless. We finish every Star project by clearing out old materials and debris, so your Ada County property is left clean and protected.
Can I switch materials during a re-side?
Yes — a full re-side is the ideal time to move from, say, old vinyl to fiber cement or engineered wood, because you're already committing to the tear-off and install labor. We'll walk you through the options, the look, and the cost factors so the upgrade is a deliberate choice.
Do you replace the trim and soffit too?
We can, and usually recommend it. Trim, fascia, and soffit are part of the same weather and aesthetic system as the siding, so replacing them together gives a consistent finish and lets us correct any rot while the area is open rather than leaving old, failing pieces behind new siding.
