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 Blaine, MN'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.
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.
We match stain color and sheen to your home's existing look or help you choose a refresh. 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.
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.
A technician inspects affected boards, checking moisture content and looking for pest activity signs.
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.
Restaining our wood siding after years of neglect made it look almost new again for a fraction of replacement cost.
Board and batten accent wall matches the sample they showed us during the estimate almost exactly.
Replacement boards were treated properly and you can't tell which sections are original versus repaired.
