New Exterior Wood Siding

Wood siding is a classic and timeless choice for your home’s exterior, offering a natural and warm aesthetic. It is usually more economical than other types of siding, but in the current market, due to the lumber shortage, the price of wood siding is higher than usual. You can expect to invest a minimum of $5 to $10 per square foot for both materials and installation. Wood clapboards typically cost around $5 per square foot, while shingles and shakes may range between $6 and $9 per square foot.

In addition to the material and installation costs, you should budget for paint, stain, moisture protection, and treatments against insects, which can add an extra $2,000 to $5,000 to the overall project. The total cost of wood siding for a two-story home can vary from $14,000 to $23,000, depending on the design and the type of wood used. More expensive and harder-to-find wood species will increase this estimate.

Maintenance of your wood siding over time requires patience, effort, and diligence. Homeowners should be proactive in identifying and addressing issues such as splits, cracks, warping, and damage from insects or moisture as soon as they occur. With proper care, a wood siding home can last for 40 years or longer, making wood siding an efficient and cost-effective choice for many homeowners.


Wood Exteriors Are Energy Efficient

Real wood siding also contributes to your home’s energy efficiency by acting as a natural insulator year-round. In three-season climates, you can rely on your wood siding to retain warm air in the winter and prevent cool air from escaping in the summer. This helps reduce your monthly energy expenses for heating and cooling while keeping your HVAC and plumbing systems operating smoothly throughout the year. Wood siding is also a sustainable choice, as it is 100% renewable and biodegradable.


However, exposure to moisture and insects poses a significant risk to your wood siding. Without proper moisture control, wood planks can warp or cup, and they may develop mold or mildew if left untreated. It is crucial to treat your wood before installation and adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule to minimize the risk of damage to your siding.


Wood siding demands the most maintenance of all siding options. It requires periodic resealing and/or repainting every few years to prevent cracking, warping, and splitting. Homeowners must remain vigilant and address any irregularities as soon as they arise to prevent them from becoming more significant and costly issues. Following a recommended maintenance schedule is essential to keeping your wood siding in excellent condition.

If you’re improving your home’s exterior or planning to get rid of your old, beaten up siding, maybe  consider getting fiber cement siding installed. Fiber cement siding has many benefits you can enjoy. Fiber cement siding comes in a myriad of colors, textures and styles that mimic other conventional siding materials like stucco, clapboards or cedar shingles. It’s durable because it’s made from a combination of sand, cement and wood fiber. It can survive longer than other contemporary siding materials because it is resistant to fire, wind and insect infestation. 

Wood siding comes in a variety of styles. The most common styles include board and batten, shakes, shingles, and clapboards. Giving a natural, warm appearance and timeless beauty, builders often choose wood for premium projects. Pine and cedar are the two main wood species used for exterior siding. Cedar types include eastern white cedar, red cedar and Alaskan yellow cedar; each type has a color true to its name. While pine siding can be very affordable, it can’t resist rot and insects like cedar can.

As stone veneer siding has gained in popularity, more and more companies began producing natural stone siding that is cut to a standard thickness from quarried stone. The most obvious advantages associated with real stone veneer siding is that A) it is real stone B) it is much lighter in weight and therefore much easier to install and fit precisely and C) the stone patterns, textures and shades just can’t be replicated by any other veneer. When properly installed and cared for, stone veneer siding lasts indefinitely and stands the tests of Long Island’s weather.

A huge advantage of engineered wood siding is that it is highly durable. It withstands the weather better, wards off insects, and even resists fire for a certain duration compared to natural wood. The chemicals used on it dramatically increase its durability and longevity, so you won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon. Another benefit of having engineered wood siding on your home is that it reduces noise pollution. Engineered wood will serve you well if you want practicality while sacrificing a little bit of the exterior appearance.
