Cedar Siding

Cedar is well known for its beautiful golden color and straight grain. It is widely considered to be one of the world’s most remarkable natural resources, and one of its best construction materials, commonly used in both interior and exterior functions. The wood’s cell structure is incredibly sturdy, making the material very durable and able to withstand impressive amounts of pressure. Cedar oil—a compound present in the tree itself—deters termites and rot, making it a long lasting material.

Cedar’s most common shape in siding is that of beveled boards, which lend themselves well to a variety of layering techniques. The initial installation and ongoing upkeep of cedar paneling are straightforward, though it cannot be considered light work, especially when compared to that of other exterior materials. Cedar paneling requires full-service treatment with a variety of products—including paint or woodstain—an average of every five to ten years. If minimizing elbow grease is an important consideration for you, you may want to take a closer look at vinyl or fiber cement exteriors.

Benefits of Cedar Siding

Environmentally Conscious
Cedar is an organic material that undergoes relatively little processing to reach its final form. Cedar manufacturing plants consume much less energy than synthetic factories, which require enormous amounts of fuel to produce siding materials such as steel, vinyl, and fiber cement siding. Natural wood—the category that cedar is a part of—makes up more than 40% of the construction materials in the U.S., but its production consumes only 4% of the annual construction material production energy use. In addition to this, lumber processing also produces fewer greenhouse gasses than synthetic siding options. The wood is also recyclable and is replenishable. It does, after all, grow on trees.

Natural Preservative Compounds
Cedar oil—a compound present in the wood itself—acts as a natural defense against termites and rot. This organic mechanism eliminates the need for any additional synthetics, be they protective coatings or artificial preservatives. This lack of chemical processing is environmentally friendly, and also beneficial to homeowners, as synthetic treatments can sometimes cause adverse reactions in people and animals.

Durable Material
A naturally durable wood, cedar possesses organic resistance to adverse weather conditions of all kinds. A stable construction material, it stands up well in all temperatures and protects the homes that it guards.

Impressive Aesthetics and Aroma
Whether you are an artist, a construction worker, or simply a passerby, you cannot help but stop and marvel at the beauty and aroma of cedar. A common magnet for praise for hundreds of years, cedar’s straight grain and beautiful color lend themselves beautifully to a wide array of styles. The wood is also highly receptive to a number of oils, stains, and paints, offering even greater versatility.

Exceptionally Workability
Thanks to a sturdy, yet pliable, nature cedar is a seemingly all-purpose wood. Receptive to a number of different adhesives, as well as sanding and shaping. Cedar is, typically, processed into the shape of long, light lumber paneling. These boards are easily cut to fit a variety of needs, and are quickly installed with a simple hammer and nails. The beveled edges of the panels enable them to lock into one another, creating a near-seamless surface. Cedar is also receptive to carving and some people choose to engrave the wood with any number of designs.

Our testimonials

"What a great job!"

I am so, so glad that we picked Siding Washington to redo our home exterior. They put such effort and precision into the work, and it really shows! The owners were friendly and easy to work with, always making sure that my wife and I were up to date on the project’s progress. Our home was, I think, particularly difficult to redo. Our house is very close to our neighbor’s and it was a tight fit for the new boards. It didn’t seem to be a problem for the Siding Washington crew, though. The house looks wonderful, and they stayed on schedule and within our budget. I couldn’t be happier!

"Thank you, Siding Washington!"

Our old siding had been installed well over thirty-five years ago and was looking very shabby. Out home was in desperate need of a facelift, and Siding in Washington was able to provide just that. I did a good bit of research on siding contractors in the area before setting on this company. They gave me the best quote and they were so friendly and easy to work with. Their crew was out to our house the day after I decided to hire them, which was very impressive. They had reasonable rates and skilled workers. I am very pleased with the results. Thanks to everyone at Siding Washington.

"Great group of experts"

Siding Washington has the best customer service I have ever encountered in the construction industry. The owner was fantastic and extremely patient, helping me go over all of my options. I was on a tight budget, so we brainstormed all the ways we could get the job done without a lot of cash. In the end, we decided to replace two of the most damaged walls right now and get the others in a year or two, once I’ve replenished my renovation fund. It was a great experience, I loved working with all of the people I met, and I would absolutely work with them again. I highly recommend Siding in Washington!

"Impressive work"

Siding Washington came out and tore down our old siding, replacing it with brand new James Hardie panels. They were very patient with us as we made up our minds about the product, style, color, and texture. When we finally decided on our particular combination, the owner was quick and wonderful with the response. We had a crew out at our house within hours. They were great people, very polite, and always cleaned up the site before they left for the day.
