Wood Siding: Best Finishing Options

The perfect siding can enhance the structural beauty of any home. If a roof repair or roof replacement is underway, you might also want to consider complementing it with new siding to add more value to your property. Selecting a siding might be confusing but the end result will surely brighten up your home.

There are a lot of options to choose from but wood will always be popular for being the most attractive and sustainable. However, this type of material needs to be protected from the elements by finishing it with either paint or a stain. Picking the finishing that works for you will mostly depend on the current condition of the wood and your preference for appearance and care.

Here’s some advice from Home Pro Exteriors, professional deck builder and siding installer.

Painting

Using paint over wood siding covers the wood grain entirely, but does not seep into the wood’s pores. The thick coating helps hide blemishes and defects, especially if the siding has weathered over time. This option is great for less-expensive wood.

Stain

Unlike paint, the natural texture of the wood is highlighted because stains penetrate into the pores of the wood. You can choose the level of transparency or opaqueness to suit what you want to achieve. Solid stains have more concentrated pigments that blur the grain and the original color. On the other hand, semi-transparent stains complement the wood grain.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
