Modern Exterior — Seismic Retrofit, Re-Clad, Windows & Roof

This Sammamish home needed a full exterior remodel and modernization for structural peace of mind. Synapse handled 3D design, all permitting for seismic retrofitting, a total strip & re-clad, and new windows, skylights, siding, and roof. The result is a crisp, weather-tight envelope that looks modern and performs in Northwest weather.

Sammamish Exterior Remodel – Project Overview

• 3D design & visualization to align architecture, reveals, and color

• Permitting for seismic retrofit; coordination with city inspectors

• Total strip of existing cladding; substrate repairs & rainscreen detailing

• New windows & skylights with proper flashing and returns

• New roof integrated with wall assemblies and penetrations

• Final punchlist & homeowner walkthrough

Materials & details

• Siding: James Hardie ColorPlus® panels (factory finish for long-term color)

• Metal accents: AEP Span Nu Wave® profile for modern texture & shadow lines

• Envelope: rainscreen gap, kick-out flashing, continuous air/water barrier

• Trim/edges: modern profiles for clean, low-maintenance lines

Why these materials

• ColorPlus® panels deliver a uniform modern look with minimal repaint cycles.

• AEP Span Nu Wave® adds depth and durability—great for wet, windy exposures.

• Combined, they balance low maintenance with architectural interest.
