Cedar Siding Installation

What This Service Involves

Western red cedar is a Pacific Northwest tradition, offering natural beauty and inherent resistance to decay when properly detailed. Because cedar breathes and moves with humidity, we install it over a ventilated rainscreen so it dries between rains rather than trapping moisture. We back-prime boards and specify stainless or hot-dipped fasteners to prevent staining and corrosion in our wet air. Finished with a quality stain or oil, cedar rewards you with a timeless, regionally rooted exterior.
