Although the opportunities to install wood siding present themselves less often now as many other alternatives have become available, it is still our favorite material to work with. 

The flexibility it offers is essential when executing repairs, matching the siding on an addition to what is on the rest of the house, and when doing restorations, or renovations of an historical nature.   

When small quantities of a unique profile are needed, we can typically mill these ourselves.  When larger quantities are required,  we know the mills that can provide these at a reasonable rate.

As much as we like working with wood,  one material that we have been very impressed with is fiber-cement board,  commonly known as Hardieboard siding.  

We like and recommend the Hardieboard because it comes in a number of profiles and styles that are quite convincing in emulating traditional wood siding, and it holds paint very well, particularly when it is factory-applied.  It is also much less expensive than wood siding.
