Wood Siding is For the Birds

Wood and wood composite siding and trim give homes a traditional charm. There’s no denying their attractive looks. But, after a short honeymoon period, there’s no question they attract more than their share of trouble. The problem lies in the fact that wood has many natural predators. Weather ages it. Water warps it. And untreated wood is like a steak dinner to a colony of insatiable termites, carpenter ants and the woodpeckers that feast on them.

Things can get real ugly real fast

Know what you’re getting into before you commit to wood and wood-based products. Even engineered wood siding can shrink and swell in the face of Minnesota’s fluctuating temperatures and humidity, which may cause paint to prematurely crack and peel. Moisture intrusion can lead to rotting, warping and cracking. Ominous trouble spots can multiply on the exterior like ravens in a Hitchcock flick. And that’s when another predator takes aim – homeowners with better things to do than constantly repairing siding and trim.
