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 White Stone, VA'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. Shake exposure — how much of each shingle shows — gets set consistently across the wall for an even weathered look.
Rotted or damaged tongue-and-groove and lap boards get replaced individually with matched profile and species. Replacement boards are sealed on all six sides, including the back, before installation to prevent moisture wicking.
Carpenter ant, termite, and woodpecker damage get assessed and repaired, with any pest issue flagged for separate treatment. 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. Fasteners are set to allow for wood's natural seasonal movement, avoiding the split-board problem common with rigid fastening.
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.
You get a written price for repair, staining, or new installation, itemized by scope.
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.
Ventilation fix behind our repaired section finally solved a moisture problem that kept coming back.
Sealant work on our cedar siding was done right before the wet season, which felt like good timing advice.
