Board and Batten Siding

What This Service Involves

Board and batten's alternating wide boards and narrow battens create bold vertical lines that suit both classic farmhouse and contemporary Northwest designs. Because the vertical orientation sheds water differently, we pay close attention to horizontal flashing and furring to keep the wall dry. We build it from fiber cement, engineered wood, or cedar depending on your budget and look. The result is eye-catching architectural depth that sets your home apart.
