A Legacy More Than A Century In The Making

Before Laer became a company, it was a family name carried through hardship, perseverance, and opportunity. Our story spans generations, continents, and defining moments that continue to shape how we approach every project today.

See The Story Behind The Name

The Laer documentary shares the journey behind our family, our values, and the work ethic that continues to define our company today.
From our family’s beginnings in Siberia to building homes and relationships throughout Washington, this short film offers a closer look at the experiences that shaped who we are and why we approach every project with discipline, accountability, and pride.

Our Origins

Where The Laer Name Began

Our family history traces back to the late 1800s in Siberia, when our great-grandfather was taken in by the Laer family as an infant. That family name has been carried forward ever since.
Over the generations that followed, our family endured war, uncertainty, and hardship, yet the values of perseverance, humility, and responsibility remained constant.
Those values continue to guide our company today.

Work Ethic Passed Through Generations

Built Long Before The Company

Our grandfather never returned home after being drafted into World War II, leaving our grandmother to raise six children on her own.
Our father began working as a young boy to help support the family. That commitment to responsibility became part of our family’s identity and continues to influence every generation that followed.
Hard work was never viewed as an obligation. It became a way of life.

The Journey To America

A New Beginning

In 1989, our family renounced Soviet citizenship in pursuit of new opportunities.
After traveling through Moscow, Austria, and Italy while awaiting sponsorship, we arrived in Washington State ready to begin again.
Within days of arriving, members of our family began working in the siding industry. What started as an opportunity to provide for our family eventually became the foundation of Laer.

The Journey To America

Residential focus

While we have experience in commercial and multi-family work, our primary focus today is residential siding and exterior finishes.

We work closely with homeowners and national builders to deliver clean execution, consistent timelines, and reliable communication.

Do quality work.
Treat people with respect.
Honor our commitments.
Build relationships that last.

Looking Ahead

Building The Future With The Same Foundation

As Laer continues to expand, our goal is not simply to take on more projects. It is to continue building relationships based on trust, consistency, and craftsmanship while preserving the values that brought us here.
We believe a strong reputation is earned one project at a time, and we intend to carry that philosophy into every community we serve.
