Cedar Bevel & Clapboard Siding

Western red cedar bevel siding in custom-milled widths from 4" to 12". Each board is back-primed before installation, nailed with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails at the correct position relative to the top edge of the course below, and left with 1/8" expansion space at all butt joints.

Cedar Shingle & Shake Siding

Hand-split or sawn cedar shingles on wall surfaces require a different nailing pattern and exposure depth than horizontal board siding. We apply self-adhesive water-resistive membrane at every course break for high-moisture Seattle, WA exposures.

Affordable Wood Siding solutions in Seattle, WA

Engineered Wood Siding (LP SmartSide & Similar)

Engineered wood strand composite panels offer wood's appearance with significantly better dimensional stability and moisture resistance. Field cuts require sealing with the manufacturer's specified caulk or primer — we treat them the same as real wood end-grain.

Channel Rustic & Board-and-Batten Profiles

Wood Siding Refinishing & Preservation

Existing wood siding that is structurally sound but failing in finish can often be saved with proper power washing, sanding, end-grain sealing, and a high-quality exterior finish system — at a fraction of replacement cost.

Historic & Custom Profile Matching

We work with custom millwork suppliers to match discontinued or historic clapboard profiles on restoration projects — critical for homes in Seattle, WA historic districts where replacement cladding must match the original material identically.

Our Process

How Our Wood Siding Process Works in Seattle, WA

A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better results. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Seattle, WA Wood Siding team.

Species & Finish Consultation

We discuss your aesthetic goals, review moisture exposure on each wall elevation, and recommend the right species and finish system for your specific Seattle, WA microclimate and sun exposure.

Moisture Content Check & Acclimation

Delivered lumber is checked with a pin-type moisture meter before installation. Material is stacked with stickers for airflow and acclimated on-site before being cut and installed — critical for dimensional stability.

Back-Priming, Installation & Fastening

All back faces and field cuts are primed before panels go on the wall. Installation proceeds with correct nailing position, expansion spacing, and stagger pattern to manage wood movement and drainage.

Finish Coat & Final Inspection

Two finish coats of a quality exterior system (primer plus topcoat or two topcoats over field-applied primer) are applied after installation. End-grain joints are caulked with high-movement paintable sealant.

Customer Reviews

Real Reviews from Wood Siding Clients Across Seattle, WA

★★★★★

The moisture meter check on delivery was something I'd never seen a siding crew do before. They rejected two bundles that read too high and waited for replacement material. That's the kind of discipline that determines long-term performance.

O. Henrikson

Seattle, WA homeowner

★★★★★

The custom profile matching was impressive — the new material is indistinguishable from the original sections we retained. Exactly what a historic restoration project requires.

D. & M. Ashworth

Seattle Historic District

★★★★★

Cedar board-and-batten on a new custom home build in Seattle, WA. The blocking installation behind every vertical batten seam was done correctly — solid nailing surface all the way up. The finished result is exactly what we envisioned for the house.

L. Bergqvist

Seattle, WA

★★★★★

We had wood siding that was structurally fine but had complete paint failure — unpainted backs from the original installation causing paint to bubble off from behind. Forge Siding stripped the finish, back-primed all panels in place, and re-coated with a quality exterior system. It's been three years without a single paint issue.

FAQ

Answers to Your Wood Siding Questions in Seattle, WA

For WA's humidity and temperature profile, western red cedar is almost always our recommendation for natural wood siding. It moves less than pine or spruce with moisture change, holds paint longer, and its heartwood is naturally resistant to surface mold. We use Select Tight Knot grade or better for all face-grain-exposed applications.

Yes — honestly, yes. Natural wood siding needs repainting or restaining every 5–8 years depending on sun exposure, climate, and the paint system used. Engineered wood products extend that to 10–12 years. That maintenance interval is the primary trade-off against the aesthetic advantage. For homeowners who want zero-maintenance exterior, wood isn't the right product — and we'll tell you that directly.

Wood siding buckles for three primary reasons: installed too tight (no expansion space at butt joints), installed at too-high moisture content (wood shrinks on drying and the constraint causes compression buckling), or back side not primed (differential expansion between the painted face and the raw back creates curvature). We address all three as standard practice on every wood siding project.

Historic matching is one of our specialty applications. We've matched unusual profiles on registered historic properties in Seattle, WA and know how to work within preservation office approval requirements. If you're in a historic district, start that conversation with us early — profile approval can take time.

Properly installed, maintained, and finished cedar siding can last 40–60 years on a Seattle, WA home. The service life depends heavily on finish maintenance interval, the quality of the installation (especially back-priming and end-grain sealing), and the sun and moisture exposure on each elevation. South and west walls in WA typically need repainting 20–30% more often than north walls.

New construction wood siding projects are a significant part of our Seattle, WA work. We coordinate staging, bring the moisture meter to check MC at delivery, acclimate on-site, and integrate with window and trim subcontractors to sequence penetrations correctly before siding begins.
