Seattle Siding Contractor Who Actually Shows Up and Calls You Back.

“I can’t recommend Paul Gubenya and his team at GP General highly enough. We had water getting into our wall at the corner where the lower roof meets the house, right by a window. We needed someone who would find the cause instead of just swapping out siding panels. Paul answered every question quickly and clearly, from the first visit through the whole job. His estimate was one of the most thorough and transparent I’ve seen from a contractor. It explained what was going wrong (an undersized kick-out flashing, a cracked roof membrane, and a gutter collector box spilling into the corner) and laid out exactly how they’d fix it, step by step. Nothing was hidden. Anything they found behind the wall would be photographed and priced for our approval before any work was done. No deposit and no pressure. He was also able to get us on the schedule fairly quickly, which meant a lot when we were dealing with an active leak. Paul ran the job himself and coordinated the roofer, so we only ever had one person to deal with. His team was professional, respectful of our home, and pleasant to work with. They protected the area around the work and left the site clean. If you need someone who’s honest, communicative, and does the job right, call GP General. Thank you, Paul and team!”

“Where do I even begin! These guys are amazing! Paul, the owner, was there checking on things everyday. He has an incredible crew, with the same men working each day, those two men did a fantastic job installing our newJames Hardie Fiber Cement siding. We needed a little plumbing work on an outside faucet, and that man also did a great job. He left no mess! Then Paul’s painter worked his tail off making our color scheme look beautiful! Everything was picked up each night before they left and after it was all done, our home just looks so beautiful and brand-new!!! We will only call Paul if we should ever need any home improvement project done again. We can’t thank him and his crew enough.”

Why choose us

Why Seattle Homeowners Trust Us After Bad Contractor Experiences

We talk to Seattle homeowners every week who’ve been burned by other Seattle siding contractors. The stories are almost always the same:

“The contractor ghosted us.”

They were responsive during the sales pitch, then disappeared after the deposit cleared. Calls went to voicemail. Texts unanswered.

What we do insteadAt GP General Corp, Paul gives you his direct number and responds within 24 hours.

“The quote was nothing like the final bill.”

A vague verbal estimate that ballooned on demo day. Surprise charges for removal, house wrap, flashing — things that should’ve been in the original scope.

What we do insteadOur siding estimates are line-itemized in writing. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Real photo of a sloppy siding job: lap siding run straight down onto concrete steps and caulked to them, and a vent boxed in with smeared caulk instead of flashingReal photo

“The installation was sloppy.”

Wavy siding, gaps around windows, nails in the driveway. Then the “lifetime warranty” turned out to cover nothing.

What we do insteadWe’re a James Hardie Alliance Select Contractor — trained and vetted by the manufacturer. Every installation follows spec so your warranty actually holds up.

How every GP General Corp project runs

  1. An honest assessmentPaul walks your home himself — even if the answer is that a full replacement isn’t necessary.
  2. A written, line-itemized quoteMaterials, labor, removal, disposal, and everything else spelled out. No surprise bills.
  3. Installed to manufacturer specDrainable wrap and a rainscreen gap on every wall, so your 30-year warranty actually means something.
  4. A clean jobsite every dayMagnetic nail sweeps, debris removal, landscaping protected.
  5. Walkthrough, then a follow-up callBefore the last payment, with every warranty document explained in plain language.

That’s not a marketing promise. That’s how every project works, and it’s why we have a 5.0 Google rating from real Seattle-area homeowners.

Building science

What’s Behind Your Siding

Most siding companies slap new boards over a wet wall and call it done. We find the moisture source first, fix the rot, then build the wall in layers that keep it dry through 38+ inches of Seattle rain a year.
