Cedar Shingle Siding

What ends up happening is they tack them up, stain or paint the face and then wonder why it looks terrible in 5 years (that’s usually when they call us).

Specializing in wood siding all these years has taught us the exact right way is the only way.  PROBLEMS ARE A NIGHTMARE- AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS.

You can’t even get a decent builder to your project for less than $5000. Realistically no one will want to deal with you if there is an issue.

Hand-Dipped Western Red Cedar Shingle Siding   

In order to get stain on all 6 sides of EVERY CEDAR SHINGLE we set up a custom dipping and drying line.

The most common cause of failure is not finishing the backside of the shingles.  Now you know why. Doing it the exact right way is a HUGE PAIN IN THE BUTT!

Realistically it is such a pain to finish shakes and shingles correctly that most people simply don’t! But it is definitely worth the effort and the cost to do it RIGHT!
