Rotted planks, pest damage, and failed sealant are the most common issues we see on Franklintown, PA wood siding, and most are fixable without a full replacement.
We stock properly kiln-dried, moisture-treated cedar rather than green lumber prone to warping after install.
Wood-safe sealants and stains are matched to your climate exposure, not a one-size-fits-all product.
Wood siding installation and repair require different technique than vinyl or fiber cement — our crews are trained specifically for it.
We carry the insurance appropriate for specialty wood exterior work.
Active rot or pest infestation gets prioritized quickly since it spreads if left alone.
Seasonal staining and sealing work gets scheduled around Franklintown, PA's weather windows.
Board repair, staining, and full installation are priced separately so you can choose the right scope for your budget.
Specialty profiles like board and batten or shake are quoted accurately, not lumped into a generic siding estimate.
Wood siding rewards proper maintenance and punishes neglect faster than most other materials.
We plan pattern and exposure before the first shingle goes up, not adjusted mid-install. We select vertical-grain cedar for better dimensional stability than flat-grain stock.
Rotted or damaged tongue-and-groove and lap boards get replaced individually with matched profile and species. Replacement boards are sealed on all six sides, including the back, before installation to prevent moisture wicking.
Rot remediation includes checking behind the board for sheathing damage before closing it back up. We probe surrounding boards beyond the visibly damaged one, since rot and pest activity often spread further than they appear.
Wood siding needs re-staining and sealing on a regular cycle to prevent moisture absorption and UV breakdown. We test stain absorption on a hidden section first, since weathered wood can absorb unevenly.
Traditional board and batten profiles installed with correctly planned batten spacing before the first board goes up. Batten width and spacing get mocked up on-site before final installation so you approve the rhythm of the pattern.
Poor ventilation behind wood siding is a leading cause of premature rot — we correct airflow issues during repair or re-side work. {A simple rainscreen gap behind the boards can solve a chronic moisture problem without changing the visible material at all.|We check soffit vent function as part of any wood siding ventilation assessment.}
We'll ask about board species and age to gauge scope before scheduling.
We assess ventilation and sheathing condition behind any damaged section.
You get a written price for repair, staining, or new installation, itemized by scope.
Workmanship on wood siding work carries the same guarantee as any material we install.
They caught early rot behind a board we thought was just weathered, saving us from a bigger repair later.
