Is cedar wood siding good?
Cedar wood siding is a popular choice for many homeowners because it is durable, attractive, and available in a variety of colors and finishes. Cedar is also resistant to rot and insect damage, making it a great choice for homes in areas with extreme weather conditions.

What affects the price of wood siding?
The cost of your project will depend on a number of factors including: the size of your home, climate, quality of wood you select and other design elements. The local cost of labour also will have a bearing on the overall price. Reputable companies should be able to give you a detailed, accurate and itemized quote for your project and can explain all aspects of it too.
Don’t make this decision alone: obtain quotes from at least three companies – two local ones and one national company that has a local representative in your area.
Remember, when it comes to wood siding, you get what you pay for. A cheap price usually means corners were cut to save money and the quality of the work will be inferior.
The types of wood used for siding can also influence your choice. For example, cedar and redwood are both very durable and weather well. Make sure you do your research to find out which type is best for your home.
Another important factor is the type of wood siding you choose. Before making a final choice on this aspect, don’t forget to take into account the climate where you live as some types of wood will weather better than others.
