Types of siding
Wood siding
There are several types of siding available to the homeowner today. However, wood remains a popular product in North American homes. Wood gives your house a unique and complementary look to the surrounding natural beauty. Not only does it have the aesthetic appeal, it’s practical properties give the ability to “breathe” which means it won’t trap unpleasant smells in your home or emit harmful materials.
The pleasant smell of wood is known for its positive effects on our nervous system and as a result is associated with the reduction of stress. We offer wood siding installation for Pine, Spruce, Fir, and Cedar.
