Wood Siding & Doors

Causes by age, moisture, and wear and tear

Problems an old wooden door can face are warping, sticking, and paint issues

Wooden windows are mostly painted over and/or painted shut

When replaced can save homeowners over half on their energy bills

Here are some negative effects of having wooden siding:
  • High Maintenance:
    • Wood siding requires regular painting, staining, or varnishing to protect it from the elements and prevent deterioration.
    • Depending on your climate, repainting or restraining might be necessary every few years.
    • This ongoing maintenance can be time-consuming and costly.

 

  • Vulnerability to Moisture:
    • Wood absorbs moisture, making it susceptible to rot, decay, and mold growth, especially in humid or wet climates.
    • Improperly sealed wood can warp and crack.
    • Water damage can also compromise the structural integrity of your home.

 

  • Pest Infestation:
    • Wood is a natural food source for insects like termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles.
    • These pests can cause significant damage to the siding and potentially spread into the rest of the house.
    • Regular inspections and pest control treatments may be necessary.

 

  • Fire Risk:
    • Wood is a flammable material, which could lead to higher home insurance premiums.
    • While some wood siding products are treated with fire retardants to increase flame resistance, it still remains more flammable than other siding materials.

 

  • Sun Damage:
    • Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the paint on wood siding to fade and the wood itself to chip, peel, or crack.

 

  • Lower Durability:
    • Compared to materials like steel or fiber cement siding, wood is softer and more prone to damage from impacts like hail.
    • Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause wood to expand and contract, leading to buckling and warping.

 

  • Potential Environmental Issues:
    • If the wood is not sustainably sourced, its use can raise environmental concerns.
    • Due to its shorter lifespan compared to some other siding options, wood siding may need to be replaced more often, increasing resource consumption. 

 

In summary, while wood siding offers a unique aesthetic appeal, it’s crucial to be aware of its potential drawbacks, including its high maintenance requirements, susceptibility to moisture and pests, fire risk, and lower durability compared to alternative siding materials.
