Nestled at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains in Santa Clara County, Los Gatos blends historic downtown charm with hillside neighborhoods that climb into oak-studded canyons. The town’s housing runs the gamut from restored Victorians and Craftsman bungalows near University Avenue to mid-century ranches and contemporary custom homes in areas like Blossom Hill, Belgatos, and the winding roads toward the summit. This is a designated Wildland-Urban Interface with much of the hillside sitting in CAL FIRE high and very-high fire hazard severity zones, so ignition-resistant exteriors are not just smart—they matter for insurance and safety. Add hot, dry summers, the occasional heavy winter storm rolling off the mountains, and strong UV exposure on south-facing slopes, and it’s clear why quality siding and sealed, energy-efficient windows are essential to protecting a Los Gatos home.
Heritage Exteriors specializes in fiber cement siding, including James Hardie products that carry a Class A fire rating and stand up to the region’s temperature swings, sun, and wind-driven rain far better than aging wood or stucco. For homeowners in fire-prone foothill zones, we pair noncombustible siding with proper flashing and detailing to help meet WUI (Chapter 7A) building expectations. We also install energy-efficient, dual-pane windows that cut cooling costs during Los Gatos’s warm summers, reduce road and neighborhood noise, and refresh curb appeal in a market where presentation counts. A typical whole-home re-side generally runs in the $16,000–$30,000 range depending on square footage, materials, and site conditions, and every project is tailored to your home’s style—from downtown historic to hillside modern.

Are your windows single-pane, difficult to operate, or showing signs of wear and condensation? It’s time for an upgrade. Replacing old, inefficient windows provides a host of benefits for Los Gatos homeowners. Our replacement services are focused on:
Many prudent Los Gatos homeowners choose to replace their siding and windows concurrently. This holistic approach offers several key advantages:
We provide a carefully selected range of siding materials chosen for their superior performance, beauty, and suitability for the safety-conscious and discerning tastes of Los Gatos.
Fiber cement siding, particularly from industry leader James Hardie, is the premier and most highly recommended investment for a Los Gatos home. It is non-combustible, providing the highest level of fire protection (Class A rating), a critical feature for the area’s WUI zones. It is also exceptionally resilient, resisting rot, pests, and impact, while its advanced ColorPlus™ Technology finishes are engineered to resist fading from intense UV exposure.
For homeowners seeking a classic, natural aesthetic that complements the town’s wooded surroundings, we offer both fire-treated traditional wood siding and advanced engineered wood products like LP SmartSide®. These materials can provide an authentic look for specific architectural applications where permitted, with added durability and resistance to moisture and impact.
Complementary Exterior UpgradesTo give your home a truly finished and protected look, we also specialize in installing and repairing trim, soffit, and fascia using durable, non-combustible or fire-resistant materials. These elements are essential for protecting your roofline and walls. We also provide professional exterior painting with durable, fade-resistant formulas and seamless gutter systems with leaf guards to manage winter rains and reduce combustible debris buildup.
An investment in new siding and windows delivers tangible benefits that enhance your lifestyle and protect your property’s value in the exclusive Los Gatos environment.
This is the paramount benefit for any Los Gatos homeowner, especially those in hillside and wooded areas. High-performance, non-combustible siding and properly sealed, dual-pane tempered glass windows form a formidable barrier against embers and radiant heat, creating defensible space and providing invaluable peace of mind.
The warm, dry summers can lead to high cooling costs. High-performance insulated siding and ENERGY STAR® windows with low-SHGC glass create a powerful thermal barrier, keeping your home cooler and more comfortable while significantly reducing your energy bills.
An exterior remodel is one of the most effective ways to elevate your home’s curb appeal. In the competitive Silicon Valley real estate market, a high-quality, architecturally appropriate, and fire-safe exterior adds significant value and makes a powerful statement.
Upgrading to well-sealed siding and modern windows with high acoustic ratings can substantially decrease outside noise from busy corridors like Highway 17, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of your Los Gatos property.

For most of Los Gatos, fire safety is the number one priority. We strongly recommend using non-combustible siding materials like James Hardie fiber cement, which has a Class A fire rating.

Yes, significantly. We can install windows with a high Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating, specifically designed to reduce noise.

We provide a comprehensive workmanship warranty on every installation, guaranteeing the quality and longevity of our labor. In addition, you will be covered by extensive manufacturer warranties on the premium products we use, such as the 30-year limited warranty offered on most James Hardie siding products and robust warranties on high-end windows.

Yes. Much of Los Gatos, especially the hillside neighborhoods toward the Santa Cruz Mountains, falls within CAL FIRE high and very-high fire hazard severity zones and the Wildland-Urban Interface. That makes ignition-resistant, Class A fire-rated fiber cement siding like James Hardie a smart choice over wood or vinyl. Noncombustible exteriors can also help with home-hardening requirements and insurance considerations.
In most cases, yes. Re-siding and window replacements typically require a building permit through the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department, and homes in hillside or historic districts may face added design review. Heritage Exteriors handles the permitting process and makes sure work meets Santa Clara County and Town code, including WUI (Chapter 7A) requirements where they apply.
Los Gatos sees hot, dry summers, strong UV exposure, and heavy winter storms coming off the Santa Cruz Mountains. Fiber cement resists sun fading, warping, and moisture damage far better than wood, and it won’t feed a fire the way combustible siding can. It also holds paint well, so your home keeps its curb appeal through the region’s temperature swings.
A whole-home re-side in Los Gatos generally falls in the $16,000–$30,000 range, depending on your home’s size, the siding material you choose, and site factors like hillside access or removal of old stucco. Larger custom homes and complex hillside sites sit at the higher end. Heritage Exteriors provides a detailed, no-obligation quote after assessing your specific property.
Absolutely. Los Gatos summers get warm, and older single-pane windows let cooling escape while letting heat in. Energy-efficient dual-pane windows with low-E coatings reduce solar heat gain, keep interiors comfortable, and cut air-conditioning costs. They also dampen noise from busy corridors and nearby Highway 17.
Along with Los Gatos, we serve neighboring Santa Clara County communities including Monte Sereno, Saratoga, Campbell, Cupertino, and the Almaden Valley and Cambrian Park areas of San Jose. Many of these share the same foothill fire exposure and mixed housing styles, so our fire-smart siding and window solutions translate directly across the region.
