SIDING · WOOD & CEDAR SHAKE SIDING
Wood & Cedar Shake Sidingin Bucks County & South Jersey
Classic and historic-style wood and cedar shake siding, installed and finished to last outdoors — the look many older Bucks County homes were built with.
What is wood & cedar shake siding?
Wood and cedar shake siding gives a home a natural, textured look that vinyl and fiber-cement products can approximate but not fully replicate — which matters a lot on historic homes in Bucks County and older neighborhoods where matching the original material is often a priority, sometimes a requirement.
Cedar shake in particular is naturally resistant to rot and insects due to the wood's natural oils, and weathers to an attractive silver-gray patina if left unfinished, or holds a stain well if a specific color is preferred. Traditional lap wood siding offers a similar natural look in a more classic clapboard profile.
Wood siding requires more ongoing maintenance than vinyl or fiber-cement — periodic staining or sealing, and closer attention to moisture at joints and corners — but for homeowners restoring a historic property or specifically wanting that natural material, it remains the right choice.
