Wood siding brings a look vinyl and fiber cement can't fully replicate, but it needs the right stain, sealant, and pest protection to last.
We stock properly kiln-dried, moisture-treated cedar rather than green lumber prone to warping after install.
Wood-safe sealants and stains are matched to your climate exposure, not a one-size-fits-all product.
Wood siding installation and repair require different technique than vinyl or fiber cement — our crews are trained specifically for it.
We carry the insurance appropriate for specialty wood exterior work.
Active rot or pest infestation gets prioritized quickly since it spreads if left alone.
Seasonal staining and sealing work gets scheduled around Bloomington, IL's weather windows.
Board repair, staining, and full installation are priced separately so you can choose the right scope for your budget.
Specialty profiles like board and batten or shake are quoted accurately, not lumped into a generic siding estimate.
Wood siding rewards proper maintenance and punishes neglect faster than most other materials.
We plan pattern and exposure before the first shingle goes up, not adjusted mid-install. We select vertical-grain cedar for better dimensional stability than flat-grain stock.
We treat replacement boards to match the moisture protection of surrounding material. We match board width and reveal to the surrounding original planks, not just the species.
Rot remediation includes checking behind the board for sheathing damage before closing it back up. We probe surrounding boards beyond the visibly damaged one, since rot and pest activity often spread further than they appear.
Wood siding needs re-staining and sealing on a regular cycle to prevent moisture absorption and UV breakdown. Wood moisture content gets checked before staining, since sealing over damp wood traps moisture rather than blocking it.
Traditional board and batten profiles installed with correctly planned batten spacing before the first board goes up. Batten width and spacing get mocked up on-site before final installation so you approve the rhythm of the pattern.
Poor ventilation behind wood siding is a leading cause of premature rot — we correct airflow issues during repair or re-side work. {A simple rainscreen gap behind the boards can solve a chronic moisture problem without changing the visible material at all.|We check soffit vent function as part of any wood siding ventilation assessment.}
