Why Homeowners Choose Cedar

Cedar naturally resists rot and insects better than most woods, and its grain gives a warm, natural look. Left untreated it weathers to gray; with stain it keeps its color longer.

Like any wood, it needs a finish and regular attention, especially on sunny walls and near the ground. Charlotte's humid summers make that upkeep matter.

For other options, see siding work across the city.

Finishing and Upkeep

Most cedar gets a penetrating stain that soaks in rather than a film that peels. Plan on refinishing as the color fades.

Damaged shingles can usually be replaced one at a time, and many Charlotte contractors handle that kind of repair.
