about
For quality you can trust, we use only the finest materials to elevate and protect your home. Cedar siding offers natural beauty, lasting durability, and eco-friendly performance. It’s resistant to pests, provides insulation, and develops a timeless patina over time.
Why Wood Works
Wood siding has been used on homes throughout the Northeast for centuries—and for good reason. In coastal environments like Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and coastal New Hampshire, wood siding continues to perform exceptionally well when properly selected, detailed, and maintained.
At The Wood Siding Co., a subsidiary of Slate & Copper Services, we work in coastal conditions every day. Below is an in depth look at why wood siding remains one of the best exterior cladding choices for the Northeast—from material science to environmental compatibility.
Coastal New England homes are regularly exposed to:
• High humidity
• Salt-laden air
• Seasonal freeze–thaw cycles
• Wind-driven rain and snow
Wood is a naturally breathable material, meaning it can absorb and release moisture without trapping it inside wall assemblies. This is critical in areas where humidity swings dramatically between seasons.
Wood Siding That Lasts Generations
Throughout coastal New England, there are:
• 18th and 19th century homes
• Shingle style estates
• Farmhouses and colonials
…still protected by original—or well maintained replacement—wood siding.
When high-quality wood (such as cedar, cypress, or properly treated pine) is:
• Installed correctly
• Finished appropriately
• Maintained at reasonable intervals
Service lives of 50–100+ years are common.
This longevity is especially notable when compared to:
• Vinyl siding (30–40 years)
• Fiber cement (40–50 years with frequent repainting and caulking)
