MILWAUKEE WI, USA,
Cedar siding changes with weather. Deciding how to refinish it starts with how it has aged.
Gray surfaces are normal for aged cedar. Cracks, lifted boards and moisture at the lower courses are more serious.
Paint hides grain and covers wear. Stain keeps the grain visible but needs a sound surface.
Clean, dry and repair before coating. Prime where the system calls for it.
Cedar tends to show age early. Gray surfaces, cracks and lifted boards are normal, but moisture problems are not. Knowing the difference guides whether to repair, paint or stain.
Whichever you choose, cleaning and drying come first. Coating over damp or dirty siding does not last.
Pro Painter USA inspects cedar and fiber cement siding and writes a scope that fits the material. Before you call, note the areas involved, your target dates and anything that must stay open or untouched.
An inspection tells you which finish suits the siding you actually have. Request a residential estimate with Pro Painter USA.
