Cedar Bevel & Clapboard Siding

Western red cedar bevel siding in custom-milled widths from 4" to 12". Each board is back-primed before installation, nailed with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails at the correct position relative to the top edge of the course below, and left with 1/8" expansion space at all butt joints.

Engineered Wood Siding (LP SmartSide & Similar)

Engineered wood strand composite panels offer wood's appearance with significantly better dimensional stability and moisture resistance. Field cuts require sealing with the manufacturer's specified caulk or primer — we treat them the same as real wood end-grain.

Wood Siding Refinishing & Preservation

Existing wood siding that is structurally sound but failing in finish can often be saved with proper power washing, sanding, end-grain sealing, and a high-quality exterior finish system — at a fraction of replacement cost.

Historic & Custom Profile Matching

We work with custom millwork suppliers to match discontinued or historic clapboard profiles on restoration projects — critical for homes in Cornwall, PA historic districts where replacement cladding must match the original material identically.

Our Process

From First Call to Finished Project

Our Cornwall, PA team follows the same documented process on every project — so you know what to expect at every stage.

Species & Finish Consultation

We discuss your aesthetic goals, review moisture exposure on each wall elevation, and recommend the right species and finish system for your specific Cornwall, PA microclimate and sun exposure.

Moisture Content Check & Acclimation

Delivered lumber is checked with a pin-type moisture meter before installation. Material is stacked with stickers for airflow and acclimated on-site before being cut and installed — critical for dimensional stability.

Back-Priming, Installation & Fastening

All back faces and field cuts are primed before panels go on the wall. Installation proceeds with correct nailing position, expansion spacing, and stagger pattern to manage wood movement and drainage.

Finish Coat & Final Inspection

Two finish coats of a quality exterior system (primer plus topcoat or two topcoats over field-applied primer) are applied after installation. End-grain joints are caulked with high-movement paintable sealant.

Customer Reviews

What Cornwall, PA Customers Say About Our Wood Siding

★★★★★

Every single piece was back-primed before it went on the wall — the installer showed me the process and explained why it matters for paint longevity. Four years later the paint looks as good as the day it was applied.

O. Henrikson

★★★★★

The custom profile matching was impressive — the new material is indistinguishable from the original sections we retained. Exactly what a historic restoration project requires.

D. & M. Ashworth

Cornwall Historic District

★★★★★

The crew understood wood's movement characteristics at every step. Expansion gaps at the right dimensions, correct nailing position, end-grain sealed everywhere it was exposed. Real expertise.

L. Bergqvist

Cornwall, PA

★★★★★

The diagnosis was correct and the fix was permanent. No other contractor we consulted identified the back-priming issue as the root cause.

FAQ

Answers to Your Wood Siding Questions in Cornwall, PA

Western red cedar is the standard choice for Cornwall, PA because of its natural preservative oils, dimensional stability relative to other domestic species, and paint adhesion characteristics. Redwood offers similar properties at a higher price point. Engineered wood strand composites (LP SmartSide) outperform both for moisture resistance at the cost of real wood character.

The repainting interval is the main consideration. If low-maintenance is a priority, we recommend fiber cement with factory-applied finish. If the look of real wood is non-negotiable for your Cornwall, PA home, we design the installation to extend the maintenance interval as long as possible: back-priming, end-grain sealing, and correct exposure to allow drainage.

The most common failure we repair on previously installed wood siding in Cornwall, PA is paint failure caused by unpainted back faces. Moisture enters through the raw wood back, migrates through the board, and pushes the front paint off from behind. Back-priming before installation is the single most important step in wood siding longevity.

Historic matching is one of our specialty applications. We've matched unusual profiles on registered historic properties in Cornwall, PA and know how to work within preservation office approval requirements. If you're in a historic district, start that conversation with us early — profile approval can take time.

Properly installed, maintained, and finished cedar siding can last 40–60 years on a Cornwall, PA home. The service life depends heavily on finish maintenance interval, the quality of the installation (especially back-priming and end-grain sealing), and the sun and moisture exposure on each elevation. South and west walls in PA typically need repainting 20–30% more often than north walls.

Absolutely. Wood siding on new construction in Cornwall, PA requires coordination with the framing schedule — the building should be dried in (sheathing, housewrap, windows) before wood delivery so material can be stored under cover on-site. We work directly with your GC on new construction projects to hit the siding window in the construction schedule without sitting on material too long.

Cornwall was initially settled by Peter Grubb in 1734. Peter was a Chester County stonemason who came to, what was then Lancaster County, in search of high quality stone for quarrying. First building his house and then a store, he discovered magnetite iron ore nearby and decided to test its quality, he found the ore to be exceedingly pure. Grubb wrote to Philadelphia and in 1734 was granted a warrant to purchase 300 acres (1.2 km2) of land. For three years Peter followed veins of ore until he found a large deposit that was easily accessible; however, this ore was not within the bounds of his property. So in 1737 he purchased an additional 142.5 acres (0.577 km2) of land. In 1742 Peter built a cold blast furnace and named it Cornwall, after his father's birthplace in England. The Cornwall Iron Mine was, at one time, the largest open-pit mining operation in the world. They were mined continuously until June 30, 1973, totaling 236 years of production.
