The Undeniable Benefits of Wood Siding

Written by P.J. Sullivan | May 7, 2020 1:23:09 PM

Wood has long been considered a high-cost, high-maintenance and low-resistance material in the exterior remodeling industry. The rapid rise of wood siding alternatives, not to mention the changing building standards, has led to the material slowly becoming less popular among homeowners.

Fortunately, manufacturing innovations paved the way for modern wood exteriors that possess better qualities than their previous predecessors. Today, PJ Sullivan Exteriors, one of the top siding and roofing replacement companies in the local area, discusses the many benefits of wood siding.

Unparalleled Versatility

The wood’s unmatched versatility is one of the reasons why it is among the go-to choices for many siding professionals. You can find a wide variety of wood siding profiles that will match the style that you want for your home, from the uniformed look of clapboard siding to overlapping pieces of shake and shingle siding.

Durability and Strength

Siding made from hardwood materials takes the lead among other siding products when it comes to strength. Cedar, in particular, possesses natural waterproofing qualities that  siding contractors recommend it in areas that regularly experience high levels of humidity. Modern wood siding, meanwhile, is pre-coated to protect against mold, rot and insect infestation.

Unrivaled Beauty

Wood’s natural beauty is what draws many homeowners to this siding material. Other alternatives simply cannot match the material’s grain texture. Wood patterns can be imitated artificially, but then again, nothing beats the rustic charm of the real thing.
