Meet the Owner
Paul Gubenya — Owner
Owner-operated siding contractor serving King & Snohomish Counties. Every assessment, every project — Paul is there.
Paul grew up in the Pacific Northwest with roots in Ukraine. Construction runs in the family — his brothers all work in the trades, and Paul started working alongside them early. After years in the field, he founded GP General Corp to do things his way: honest assessments, no upselling, and installation that actually follows manufacturer specs.
When you call GP General Corp, you get Paul. Not a sales team, not an estimator who’s never held a nail gun — the person who owns the company, oversees every project, and will be on your job site.
Paul does every assessment personally. He shows up with a moisture meter, checks your siding, probes for damage behind it, and tells you exactly what he finds. Sometimes that means recommending a full replacement. Sometimes it means telling you that targeted repairs will save you thousands — and that a full re-side would be a waste of money. That’s the difference between talking to a contractor and talking to a salesperson.
He’s completed over 100 siding projects across King and Snohomish Counties and earned a 5.0 Google rating — not from a marketing team, but from homeowners who got straight answers and quality work. He runs the crew on every project, photographs every stage, and hands you a complete warranty file when the job is done.
Our crews are trusted friends and family who’ve worked alongside Paul for years. Not staffing-agency subs — people who know our standards and stake their own reputation on every board they install.

I Got Tired of Watching Homeowners Get Burned
Before I started GP General Corp, I worked for other siding companies. I saw what happens behind the scenes — crews cutting corners because the boss never shows up, salespeople quoting one price and billing another, project managers juggling 15 jobs and ghosting homeowners for weeks.
I watched a crew install siding over rotted sheathing because “the homeowner won’t know.” I watched companies promise 3-week timelines and drag projects out for months. I saw homeowners pay premium prices for work done by the cheapest available subcontractor.
I started GP General Corp because I knew I could do it differently. Not “better marketing” — actually different. I show up to every assessment myself. I run the crew on every project. I give you a fixed price in writing, and that’s what you pay. If your siding doesn’t need replacing, I tell you that — even though it means I don’t get the job.
Is it the most scalable business model? No. Can I do 50 projects a month? No. But every homeowner who hires us gets the same thing: my phone number, my crew on site, and work I’d put on my own house.
What Homeowners Say
Real reviews from our Google profile — unedited, from real projects.
“We recently had Paul with GP General repair a damaged corner protector and sidings. His estimate was reasonable, his availability was timely, and his job was excellent. Our home hadn’t been re-painted in a while and the paint had considerably faded, yet he was able to match the color perfectly. Now we know who to turn to when in need of another repair work.”
“GP General replaced LP siding on our garage. Paul was very thorough when he came out to do the estimate; he listened to my concerns and was able to work out solutions on the spot. His crew did a great job and were very courteous. They also were careful about cleaning up (I didn’t find any nails!). Really happy with the job and can recommend GP General.”
“I highly recommend GP General Corp for siding replacement. We recently had our wood siding replaced with James Hardie lap siding, and Paul and his team did an excellent job.”
How GP General Corp Works
Paul does every assessment. You’re not talking to a commission salesperson — you’re talking to the person who’ll be on your roof.
We’ll tell you if you don’t need a full replacement. We’ve saved homeowners thousands by recommending targeted repairs instead.
The number we quote is the number you pay. Only exception: substrate repair, because nobody knows what’s behind siding until it comes off.
Every project is photographed at every stage. Substrate condition, WRB installation, flashing details, finished product. Your warranty file is complete.
