Longview, Washington, is a city steeped in history, founded in the 1920s by timber magnate R.A. Long. Just as Long envisioned a thriving community built to last, constructing or remodeling a home here requires special care and expertise. With the city’s unique weather—marked by heavy rainfall and strong winds—building in Longview is as much about resilience as it is about design.
At the heart of every home we build is a commitment to crafting structures that can endure the challenges of the Pacific Northwest climate. Let’s explore how we tackle these weather conditions and why working with contractors who understand Longview’s environment is essential to your project’s success.
In Longview, rainfall isn’t just an occasional occurrence—it’s a defining feature of life in the Pacific Northwest. The city’s location near the Columbia River brings significant rain, which can pose challenges to homes if not managed properly.
To address this, we use innovative strategies and materials that ensure your home remains dry and protected, no matter the weather.
Longview’s proximity to the Columbia River means heavy rains are a regular event, making foundation protection a top priority. Our contractors ensure proper site grading and install advanced drainage solutions, like French drains and sump pumps, to keep water away from your home’s foundation. By preventing pooling and managing runoff, we protect your home from long-term water damage—a common issue in this area.

Rainy weather demands materials that can stand up to moisture without deteriorating. We use:
These materials ensure your home not only stays strong but also looks great, no matter how wet the weather gets.
Longview’s open landscapes and its location near the river make it susceptible to powerful winds, especially during the fall and winter months. To combat this, we build homes designed to withstand these conditions, ensuring safety and durability for years to come.
From reinforced roofing to impact-resistant windows, we incorporate wind-resistant elements into every home. These features ensure that even during the strongest storms, your home remains secure. Reinforced framing and advanced anchoring systems add an extra layer of protection against high winds.
Longview’s unpredictable weather requires careful planning. By scheduling construction during calmer months and taking steps to shield your project from wind and rain when needed, we ensure your home’s timeline stays on track. This strategic approach minimizes weather-related delays while keeping your home safe during the build.
Building in Longview requires more than just any materials—it demands the best. High-quality, weather-resistant materials are essential to constructing homes that endure the region’s climate.
Cedar’s natural resistance to moisture and decay makes it a favorite for siding, while composite materials offer long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions for decking and outdoor features. These materials, combined with advanced roofing systems, protect your home from the elements while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
We prioritize materials that not only protect your home but also align with the environmental values of the Pacific Northwest. By sourcing locally and choosing sustainable options, we reduce your home’s environmental footprint while supporting the local economy.
