Fiber Cement Siding in Capitola
Fiber cement is the core Capitola recommendation because it is inert to direct salt spray and tolerates periodic flood inundation far better than the original cottage wood — provided it's installed with corrosion-rated metal and flood-aware detailing in the tight village.
Spray- and flood-tolerant by design
Fiber cement shrugs off Capitola's direct spray and survives periodic wetting that destroys wood; longevity depends on corrosion-rated fasteners and flashing over a drying-capable plane with flood-aware low-clearance detailing.
Cottage-faithful in tight conditions
We specify period-appropriate profiles and replicated trim so a re-side keeps the Capitola Village cottage character, executed precisely in close-set, low-setback conditions.
Flood line plus spray line on one cottage
A Capitola Village cottage can take direct salt spray on its seaward face and periodic lagoon inundation at its base. Fiber cement tolerates that far better than wood, but the work is the base detailing — flood-aware low courses and a drying assembly above, on a home with no spare wall.
