Keeping Wood Siding Sound
Wood siding gives a home its character, but it needs paint and attention, and Charlotte's humid summers keep shaded boards damp. Soft spots usually show up where water sits: near the ground, under windows and at board ends.
Rotted boards can often be cut out and replaced with matching profiles, then primed and painted so water can't soak in.

Common Wood Problems
Soft Board Ends
End grain soaks up water first.
Gaps at Joints
Let rain behind the siding.
Insect Damage
Wet wood attracts pests.
Wood Siding in Historic Districts
In Charlotte's local historic districts (Dilworth, Fourth Ward, Hermitage Court, McCrorey Heights, Oaklawn Park, Plaza Midwood, Wesley Heights and Wilmore), exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Commission before work starts.
Replacing original wood with a different material may not be approved, so check before you plan.
