Cedar & Stone replaced the siding on our Portland home and coordinated the trim and flashing at the same time. The exterior finally looks designed instead of patched, and it has held up through a full season of Oregon rain.
Replacement windows can improve comfort, daylight, and curb appeal — and they affect the exterior details around every opening. Cedar & Stone helps Portland homeowners plan windows as part of a complete exterior system, with attention to siding, trim, flashing, and the finished look of the home.

Window replacement is often treated as a standalone project. That can work, but it can also miss problems in the siding, trim, or flashing. Cedar & Stone looks at windows in the context of the wall around them.
When windows are planned with siding replacement, the exterior can be detailed more cleanly. Trim proportions can be updated, water-management details addressed, and the finished windows can look like they belong to the home rather than being dropped into an older exterior.
Window work can also affect stone accents, entry details, and deck or door transitions. We look at the opening and the materials around it before narrowing the scope.
Homeowners often consider replacement windows when they notice drafts or cold spots, condensation or failed seals between panes, rot or staining around trim, or windows that are difficult to open and lock.
If the issue includes water staining or soft trim, the window project should also consider the surrounding siding and flashing details. The opening matters as much as the glass.
On older Portland homes, trim proportions, sill details, and past exterior repairs can affect whether an insert-style replacement is enough or whether the opening needs fuller exterior attention. We look for signs of rot, trapped moisture, and awkward trim transitions before the plan is finalized.
Pairing windows with siding, stone, or exterior paint is also a natural time to update proportions that feel dated, so the front elevation reads cleaner from the street.
