There are many choices out there for different types of siding, and while wood isn’t the most durable or cheapest type, it is definitely one of the more beautiful ones.
If your wood siding gets damaged, it is fairly easy to replace a single board. Wood siding is biodegradable, so it is friendly to the environment. Well kept wood siding can also increase the value of your home.
Unfortunately, wood siding has some shortcomings that other siding materials don’t have. It does require more maintenance, since it can be damaged by moisture, insects, woodpeckers and fire, just to mention a few.
If your home has wood siding, you should check for anything that might have started to damage it and remedy the situation as soon as possible.
If you choose to paint wood siding, it’s important that the paint is applied properly, otherwise it could crack and bubble. You should also make sure that there is no way for moisture to get behind the paint, since this would cause it to lift off of the surface and make it unsightly.
