Wood Siding Services

Why Choose Wood Siding?

Wood siding offers a natural, timeless look that adds warmth and character to any home. Whether you prefer cedar shakes, horizontal lap, or board-and-batten, wood brings an organic charm that’s hard to replicate with synthetic materials. In Tacoma, many homeowners choose wood siding for its visual appeal, customizability, and eco-friendly nature. It can be painted or stained to fit nearly any aesthetic, and with proper care, it ages gracefully. While it does require more maintenance than vinyl or metal, wood remains a premium option for those who value tradition, authenticity, and classic curb appeal in a rainy climate like the Pacific Northwest.

Wood Siding Installation & Replacement

At Tacoma Siding, we specialize in expert wood siding installation tailored to your home’s architecture and climate demands. We work with high-quality cedar and redwood, both known for their resistance to decay and insects. Our process includes proper wall preparation, moisture barrier installation, and precise cutting and sealing to prevent future warping. For replacements, we carefully remove the old siding, inspect the sheathing underneath, and upgrade with new wood siding that matches or enhances the original design. We also offer custom finishes to match your preferred look—natural, stained, or painted—ensuring long-lasting beauty and performance.

Wood Siding Repairs

Wood siding is strong but vulnerable to moisture and pests if not maintained. Cracked, split, or rotting boards can lead to bigger issues if ignored. Our team provides skilled wood siding repairs, including individual board replacement, caulking, and sealing to stop moisture penetration. We also address underlying damage to ensure your siding remains structurally sound. Color-matching stains or paint help maintain a consistent finish. Whether it's storm damage, wear from age, or woodpecker holes, our repairs restore your home’s integrity without compromising its natural beauty or original character.

Maintenance & Long-Term Performance

Wood siding offers a beautiful and traditional look, but it also demands regular care to perform well over time—especially in Tacoma’s wet climate. Moisture is the primary threat to wood, so it’s essential to keep it properly sealed and protected. Homeowners should plan to repaint or restain wood siding every 5 to 7 years, depending on the exposure to sunlight and rain. Annual inspections are also key for spotting early signs of rot, peeling paint, or insect activity. Clearing away vegetation and keeping the base of the siding dry helps prevent moisture-related issues. When properly maintained, wood siding can last 30 to 50 years or longer. Its natural insulation properties and timeless visual appeal continue to make it a favorite for Pacific Northwest homes. Though the upkeep is greater than some modern materials, many homeowners feel the authentic charm and flexibility of wood make it worth the effort. Our team at Tacoma Siding is always here to guide you on care techniques, recommend the right finishes, and assist with any necessary maintenance to extend the life and beauty of your investment.
