Siding in San Anselmo
A San Anselmo re-side genuinely splits between high wooded-ridge wildfire and a creekside flood-damp historic core. The steep Ross Valley and Sleepy Hollow hillsides carry high, access-constrained fire exposure, while the charming San Anselmo Avenue historic district sits low on the creek floor where flooding and persistent damp are the controlling concern — and the period stock demands faithful detailing.
So a San Anselmo project is scoped honestly by parcel: hardened, non-combustible assemblies on the hillsides; rigorous drying-and-flood-aware detailing on the creekside historic core.
Wooded ridges: genuine high fire
San Anselmo's Ross Valley and Sleepy Hollow hillside homes sit in wooded, steep, evacuation-constrained terrain with real high exposure. There we specify Class A non-combustible cladding and harden eaves, soffits, vents, decks, and ground transitions.
Creekside downtown: flood-damp and heritage
The historic San Anselmo Avenue district sits low on the creek and takes recurring flood and persistent damp; we run a robust, drying-capable plane with elevated-clearance, flood-aware detailing, and replicate period profiles faithfully on the old stock.

FAQ
Siding in San Anselmo — FAQ
Yes — San Anselmo pairs genuine high wooded-ridge fire with a creekside flood-damp historic core; Larkspur's hillside is elevated (not high) shade-damp, and San Rafael's split is hillside-vs-flat without the creek-flood factor.
On the Ross Valley / Sleepy Hollow wooded hillsides, strongly — high, access-constrained exposure. The creekside flats and downtown are lower-exposure, flood-and-damp led. We assess by address.
Recurring creek flooding and persistent valley-floor damp drive trapped moisture; a robust, flood-aware drying-capable assembly fixes the root cause.
Yes — faithful period profiles and trim are central to how we approach the historic creekside district.
Yes — steep wooded terrain with constrained access; non-combustible hardened exteriors are the baseline there, not optional.
