Find an experienced wood siding contractor near you

Wood siding is classy and timeless. It offers a rustic and unique look that improves your home’s aesthetic and increases its curb appeal. Whether it’s plywood siding or cedar shingle siding installation, your Tasker can handle the job and ensure that you get the protective and beautiful house exterior you need! Here’s what’s typically included when you book wood siding installation near you:

Assessment and preparation

If you’re having your house built from the ground up, your Tasker can proceed to the installation process after a quick inspection. But if you already have a house with existing siding, they must first carefully remove a section of your old siding to see the condition of what’s behind it. A few of the things they need to see are insulation, plywood sheathing, and an intact vapor barrier. If there’s none, your Tasker can help find them for you. You can also get a tradesman to help speed up the installation of the said materials.

Once all of your old siding is removed, your Tasker can check for further damages. If they are still salvageable, you can hire someone to repair the damaged wood. Otherwise, your Tasker can replace them completely.

Installation

Your Tasker starts by installing a moisture barrier to keep wind-water out of the wall cavities. Then they’ll cut a starter plank, prime its back to add another level of moisture protection and install the plank using a nail gun and two-inch stainless steel nails. Once the starter plank is put into place, they’ll start cutting and attaching vertical planks and installing them around windows and doors. They can do this repeatedly until all planks are secured in place.

While installing cedar siding near you, why not get someone to install a wooden fence for your property as well? This can complete the rustic look you’re going for while having added protection!

Finishing

To give your cedar wood siding a clean and finished look, your Tasker can miter the edges of the planks and boards that will meet the corners of your house, fit them together, and attach the way they did with other planks.

Before sealing the wood siding, they can fill the nail holes with wood fillers. They also need to wipe the surface of the wood first and allow it to dry. That’s when they can caulk the areas where the vertical planks meet the brick. Once everything is good to go, your Tasker can now start applying stain and sealant using a staining rag or pad.

Now that you have a tongue-and-groove exterior, you can make everything consistent by making your interiors look rustic as well! Consider hiring a furniture maker to create customized wooden pieces or having a professional install wooden blinds and window frames!
