Cedar Siding: Timeless Natural Beauty

Nothing matches the warmth and texture of real cedar. We install it with the care and detailing it deserves.

Cedar Siding by RemodelPro

Cedar has been used on homes for centuries because it's naturally resistant to decay and insects, stable compared to many woods, and beautiful. Whether stained to show off its grain, painted a classic color, or left to weather to a soft silver gray, it brings a character that manufactured products try to imitate.

Cedar comes in many forms: bevel clapboard, tongue-and-groove, board-and-batten, and shingles or shakes. Each suits different architectural styles, from coastal cottages and craftsman bungalows to modern homes with vertical cladding.

Real wood needs real care. Cedar benefits from a quality finish and periodic refinishing, and it must be installed with attention to back-priming, ventilation and fasteners that won't stain. We'll help you understand that commitment before you choose it.

Cedar Siding

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does cedar need to be refinished?

It depends on the finish and sun exposure. Semi-transparent stains generally need refreshing more often than solid stains or paint. South- and west-facing walls typically need attention first.

Can I let cedar go gray naturally?

Yes. Unfinished cedar weathers to silver gray. It still benefits from good installation and ventilation, and you should expect some surface checking and color variation.

What fasteners do you use for cedar?

Cedar requires corrosion-resistant fasteners, such as stainless steel, to prevent black streaks and staining caused by reactions with the wood's natural compounds.

Is cedar siding a fire risk?

Like any wood, cedar is combustible. In high wildfire-risk areas, consider fire-retardant-treated products or a non-combustible option like fiber cement.

Do you back-prime cedar?

We recommend sealing all sides of the boards before installation. Back-priming reduces moisture absorption and cupping and helps the finish last longer.
