Cedar Shake Siding

What this involves.

Cedar shake siding installation is detail work, since each course overlaps the last and the exposure and offsets have to stay consistent for both the look and the weather protection. We set the house wrap and flashing, establish level lines, and lay the shakes with even exposure, staggered joints, and the right gaps for the wood to breathe. We detail the corners, trim, and transitions, and seal where water needs to be directed off the wall. Whether you're covering a whole home or an accent gable, we install cedar shakes so the texture reads rich and the courses run straight.
