Cedar, redwood, and pine siding can last a very long time. Houses still wearing their original clapboard are the proof. 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.
That is why the details matter. 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 pros now install wood over a rainscreen, a small gap created with furring strips or a drainage mat, so the back of each board can dry. That single step greatly extends paint life and cuts down on cupping.
Older 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 Johnson Lane
These are the wood siding jobs Johnson Lane callers ask about most.
Rotted Board Replacement
Soft boards are cut out at staggered joints, the water source is corrected, and new back-primed boards are installed.
Cedar Clapboard and Bevel Siding
Boards are matched for width, reveal, and thickness and installed with correct laps and stainless nails.
Vertical and Shiplap Wood Siding
Vertical and shiplap profiles need solid blocking or furring and careful attention to how water sheds at the bottom.
Wood Shingle Siding
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.
Semi-Transparent and Solid Stains
Cedar can take a semi-transparent stain to show grain or a solid stain for more coverage, refreshed periodically.
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. Dark streaks below nail heads mean the fasteners are reacting with 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.

Can rotted wood siding be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. Individual boards can usually be cut out and replaced at staggered joints. Minor rot in trim can occasionally 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?
Common causes include moisture pushing from behind, boards that were not back-primed, poor surface prep, or incompatible 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?
Usually, by matching board width, exposure, 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 a great choice if you are fine with periodic refinishing. Installed over a rainscreen with proper priming and fasteners, wood siding performs well and offers a look other materials imitate.
