Wood & Cedar Siding in Lake County , Florida
Wood and cedar siding work covers installing new boards, replacing rotted sections, and refinishing existing walls. Common profiles include bevel (clapboard), board and batten, shingles, and tongue-and-groove. Cedar is popular because it resists rot and insects better than pine or fir, but it still needs care to last.
What to look for
Ask which grade of cedar the contractor uses and whether boards are primed or stained on all sides, including the cut ends, before they go up. Check that they install a weather barrier and flashing around windows, doors and rooflines, and leave a gap at the ground so water can't wick up. Stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized nails matter too, since cheap fasteners leave black streaks. Get a written scope that spells out removal, disposal, finish coats and who handles repairs to any sheathing damage found underneath.
