Siding & Wood Restoration
As timeless and popular as wood is for siding, it’s also a high-maintenance material that requires regular repair. Because exterior siding is constantly exposed to the elements, pests, water and wind, it’s prone to damage and splitting.

Everything You Need to Know
What are some common causes for wood siding damage?
It’s normal for wood siding to show signs of wear and tear throughout the years for a number of different reasons. Warping, mold and mildew can all take their toll on the exterior envelope of your building. Mold and moisture can make its way indoors and cause interior damage.
Common causes of damage include:
- Impact from trees, branches, debris and other objects
- Regular wear and tear due to age
- Deterioration from weathering (sun, wind, rain, ice)
- Pests, termites, rodents and other wildlife
- Worn-out caulking, allowing moisture, air and insects to enter
- Woodpeckers searching for worms, grubs and insects
How do you know it’s time to replace wood siding?
As beautiful as wood is, its high-maintenance and delicate nature makes it prone to deterioration. As a siding material, wood is a key player in the protection of your home’s underlying structure. It helps a home retain temperature control and ward off mold, rot, decay and pest infestation.
This means that it’s constantly exposed to sunlight, water, ice, wind, pests and wildlife. Any cracks, gaps or holes in the siding means water can seep through and insects can infest the property, causing further damage.
When wood siding is restored and sealed with a protective coating, so is your home’s ability to keep the outdoors, outdoors. This not only secures your family’s health but also their safety.
