Common Questions

Wood Siding FAQs

Common questions about wood siding installation in Peterborough & the Kawarthas.

What types of wood siding do you install?

We install natural cedar, thermally modified wood, and engineered wood products in a variety of profiles.

  • Western red cedar — the gold standard for natural beauty
  • Thermally modified — heat-treated for enhanced rot resistance
  • Engineered wood — manufactured for consistent performance
  • Available in shiplap, tongue & groove, bevel, and channel profiles
How long does wood siding last?

Natural wood siding lasts 20–40+ years depending on species, finish, and maintenance. Engineered wood can match or exceed that.

  • Cedar lasts 30–40 years with regular maintenance
  • Thermally modified wood resists rot for 25+ years
  • Engineered products carry 30–50 year warranties
  • Proper finish maintenance is key to longevity
What maintenance does wood siding require?

Wood siding needs periodic inspection, cleaning, and re-finishing every 3–7 years depending on exposure and finish type.

  • Stain or paint touch-up every 3–7 years
  • Annual inspection for cracks, splits, or rot
  • Cleaning moss and mildew in shaded areas
  • Prompt repair of damaged boards prevents further deterioration
Is wood siding energy efficient?

Wood is a natural insulator with higher R-value per inch than vinyl or metal, contributing to a more comfortable building envelope.

  • Natural wood fibres trap air for insulation
  • Higher R-value per inch than vinyl or aluminium
  • Reduces thermal bridging at wall cavities
  • Can be paired with rigid insulation for maximum performance
Can wood siding handle Ontario winters?

Yes, when properly installed with adequate ventilation and moisture management. Wood has been used in Canadian construction for centuries.

  • Proper rain screen and ventilation prevents moisture issues
  • Quality stains and paints protect against freeze–thaw damage
  • Back-priming all faces prevents moisture absorption
  • We ensure proper flashing and detailing at all penetrations
How does wood siding compare to fibre cement?

Wood offers unmatched warmth and natural character. Fibre cement offers similar looks with less maintenance. The right choice depends on your priorities.

  • Wood: authentic natural grain and character
  • Fibre cement: lower maintenance but heavier material
  • Wood is easier to work with for custom details and trim
  • Fibre cement better resists fire, insects, and rot
