Rotted planks, pest damage, and failed sealant are the most common issues we see on Evanston, IL wood siding, and most are fixable without a full replacement.
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 Evanston, 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.
Here's the range of Wood Siding work our crews handle across Evanston, IL.
We plan pattern and exposure before the first shingle goes up, not adjusted mid-install. Shake exposure — how much of each shingle shows — gets set consistently across the wall for an even weathered look.
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. A referral to a licensed pest control specialist is offered when active infestation is found.
Wood siding needs re-staining and sealing on a regular cycle to prevent moisture absorption and UV breakdown. We test stain absorption on a hidden section first, since weathered wood can absorb unevenly.
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.
This step is often the difference between a repair that lasts and one that fails again in a few years. {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.}
We'll ask about board species and age to gauge scope before scheduling.
We assess ventilation and sheathing condition behind any damaged section.
Pest-related damage gets flagged separately in case treatment beyond siding repair is needed.
Repairs or installation proceed with proper moisture treatment and sealing at every cut and joint.
Cedar shake install on our gable came out beautifully, exactly the traditional look we wanted.
