Cedar, redwood, and pine siding can last a very long time. Houses still wearing their original clapboard are the proof. What shortens its life is almost always moisture: water trapped behind boards, end grain left unsealed, paint failing from the back side, or boards touching soil.
So the details are everything. Quality wood work begins with priming every board on all faces, sealing each cut end, and using stainless or hot-dipped galvanized nails. Uncoated steel reacts with cedar tannins and leaves dark streaks down the siding.
Many carpenters install wood siding over a rainscreen, a gap formed with furring or drainage mat, so boards can dry from behind. That single step greatly extends paint life and cuts down on cupping.
On older homes, painted wood may contain lead. On homes built before 1978, contractors should follow lead-safe methods when scraping, sanding, or removing boards.

What Wood Siding Pros Handle in Peridot
These are the wood siding jobs Peridot callers ask about most.
Rotted Board Replacement
Rotted boards are removed at staggered seams, the moisture source is fixed, and new primed boards go in.
Cedar Clapboard and Bevel Siding
Clapboard is matched by width, exposure, and butt thickness, and installed with proper laps and stainless fasteners.
Vertical and Shiplap Wood Siding
Vertical and shiplap profiles need solid blocking or furring and careful attention to how water sheds at the bottom.
Cedar Shingles and Shakes
Individual shingles are replaced, coursed, and nailed to preserve the pattern and keep keyways offset.
Wood Siding Refinishing
Loose paint is removed, bare wood gets stain-blocking primer, and a durable finish goes on.
Staining and Sealing
Cedar can be stained to show the grain or given a solid stain for more protection, with reapplication on a schedule.
What Wood Siding Problems Usually Mean
Wood siding talks if you know how to listen. Paint lifting off in big sheets to bare wood generally means moisture is pushing from behind, from the interior or from trapped water. Paint failing only along the bottom edges points to boards that were never back-primed or sealed.
Cupping, where boards curl at the edges, comes from uneven moisture between the front and back of the board. Splits at nails usually mean the wrong fastener or nails set too near the edge. Black streaks under nails mean the fasteners are reacting with tannins in the wood.
Rot shows up first at end grain, at the bottom course, under windows, and where trim meets siding. The pro probes those spots, reads moisture levels, and checks for missing head flashing, failed caulk, and gutters dumping onto the wall. From there you get a plan: replace a few boards, correct the water source, and refinish, or address a larger section.
Typical wood siding requests
- Rot at the bottom course and below windows

Follow-up notes from Peridot callers, shared with permission and trimmed for length.
Our old house still had its original clapboard. The carpenter matched the profile perfectly, primed every board on all sides, and the new boards disappear after painting.
Eleanor P.Historic clapboard repair, PeridotOur cedar shed paint every couple of years. The contractor found a bath fan venting into the wall and no drainage gap, fixed both, and the paint has held since.
Robert G.Wood siding refinishing, PeridotWe had dark streaks under every nail in our cedar. The carpenter explained the nails were reacting with the tannins, swapped the worst boards using stainless, and cleaned the rest.
Tanya B.Cedar siding repair, PeridotThe lowest boards on our north wall were rotten. They were replaced and end-sealed, and the soil was pulled back so the siding no longer touches it.
Henry C.Rot repair, PeridotWe had our cedar shingles restained. The pro replaced a dozen split shingles first and kept the pattern perfect.
Lauren M.Cedar shingle restain, PeridotWood Siding Questions in Peridot
Can rotted wood siding be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes, rotten boards can typically be removed and replaced at staggered seams. Small areas of rot in trim can sometimes be consolidated and filled. The key is fixing the water source first.
How often does wood siding need painting or staining?
It depends on sun exposure, finish type, and climate. Paint and solid stains generally outlast semi-transparent stains, and sunny walls need refinishing sooner.
Why is the paint peeling off my wood siding?
Typical culprits are moisture from behind, boards never back-primed, poor prep, or the wrong paint. A contractor can pin down the cause so the next finish holds.
What nails should be used on cedar siding?
Stainless steel nails are the best choice for cedar, and hot-dipped galvanized nails are a common alternative. Uncoated steel reacts with cedar and leaves dark stains.
Can new wood siding match my old siding?
Most of the time, by matching width, reveal, thickness, and profile. Some older profiles may need custom milling. Painting blends new and old boards together.
Is wood siding a good choice for a new installation?
It can be, if you are prepared for periodic refinishing. Installed over a rainscreen with proper priming and fasteners, wood siding performs well and offers a look other materials imitate.
