Here in the Northeast cedar shingles are a popular choice for a siding option. Some folks like to let the shingles weather naturally, some prefer a more finished look.

With very few exceptions, all wood siding needs to be treated with a stain or paint. This includes: shingles, shakes, clapboards, and even log homes. The wood needs to be protected from a variety of conditions.

Fungal growth, ultraviolet light, wind, rain, bugs and airborne pollutants will damage raw wood. So to get the longest life out of your siding we suggest a thorough cleaning to remove all contaminates and apply either a clear, opaque, semi- solid or solid stain. We still apply all our stains the old fashioned way….with a big ol’ brush.
