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 Lawrence, NY'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 Lawrence, NY.
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. Replacement boards are sealed on all six sides, including the back, before installation to prevent moisture wicking.
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. 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. Fasteners are set to allow for wood's natural seasonal movement, avoiding the split-board problem common with rigid fastening.
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.}
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.
Woodpecker damage got repaired and they flagged it for pest control follow-up, which we appreciated.
Board and batten accent wall matches the sample they showed us during the estimate almost exactly.
Sealant work on our cedar siding was done right before the wet season, which felt like good timing advice.
