Real wood siding can last generations. The homes still wearing original clapboard prove it. What cuts it short is nearly always moisture, from water trapped behind boards to raw end grain, paint pushed off from behind, and boards in contact with soil.
So the details are everything. Good wood siding work starts with back-priming every board on all six sides, sealing every cut end, and fastening with stainless steel 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.
Older painted wood may contain lead. Contractors working on houses built before 1978 should use lead-safe practices when scraping, sanding, or removing boards.

What Wood Siding Pros Handle in Henderson
The wood siding work we route most in Henderson:
Wood Rot Repair
Rotted boards are removed at staggered seams, the moisture source is fixed, and new primed boards go in.
Clapboard Repair and Installation
Boards are matched for width, reveal, and thickness and installed with correct laps and stainless nails.
Shiplap, Tongue-and-Groove, and Board-and-Batten
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 gives clear clues to anyone who knows them. Paint peeling down to bare wood in large sheets usually means moisture is pushing out from behind, either from inside the house or from water trapped behind the boards. 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. That leads to a plan, whether it is a few boards, a water fix, and refinishing, or a bigger section.

Henderson Wood Siding Projects
Follow-up notes from Henderson callers, shared with permission and trimmed for length.
Our 1920s house has original clapboard. The carpenter matched the profile exactly, back-primed every board, and you cannot tell which ones are new after painting.
Eleanor P.Historic clapboard repair, HendersonPaint kept peeling off our cedar every two years. The pro found the bathroom fan venting into the wall and no rainscreen. Fixed both, and the new paint is holding.
Robert G.Wood siding refinishing, HendersonBlack streaks ran down our cedar from every nail. The pro explained the old nails were reacting with the wood, replaced the worst boards with stainless fasteners, and cleaned the rest.
Tanya B.Cedar siding repair, HendersonThe 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.

Can rotted wood siding be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. Individual boards can usually be cut out and replaced at staggered joints. 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?
That depends on sun, the type of finish, and your climate. Solid stains and paint usually last longer than semi-transparent stains, and sunny walls need attention 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 pro can identify the cause so the new finish lasts.
What nails should be used on cedar siding?
Stainless nails are ideal for cedar, with hot-dipped galvanized as the usual 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. Older profiles sometimes require 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.
