Cedar Bevel & Clapboard Siding

Western red cedar bevel siding in custom-milled widths from 4" to 12". Each board is back-primed before installation, nailed with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails at the correct position relative to the top edge of the course below, and left with 1/8" expansion space at all butt joints.

Cedar Shingle & Shake Siding

Hand-split or sawn cedar shingles on wall surfaces require a different nailing pattern and exposure depth than horizontal board siding. We apply self-adhesive water-resistive membrane at every course break for high-moisture Cincinnati, OH exposures.

Engineered Wood Siding (LP SmartSide & Similar)

Engineered wood strand composite panels offer wood's appearance with significantly better dimensional stability and moisture resistance. Field cuts require sealing with the manufacturer's specified caulk or primer — we treat them the same as real wood end-grain.

Wood Siding Refinishing & Preservation

Existing wood siding that is structurally sound but failing in finish can often be saved with proper power washing, sanding, end-grain sealing, and a high-quality exterior finish system — at a fraction of replacement cost.

Historic & Custom Profile Matching

We work with custom millwork suppliers to match discontinued or historic clapboard profiles on restoration projects — critical for homes in Cincinnati, OH historic districts where replacement cladding must match the original material identically.

Our Process

From First Call to Finished Project

A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better results. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Cincinnati, OH Wood Siding team.

Species & Finish Consultation

We discuss your aesthetic goals, review moisture exposure on each wall elevation, and recommend the right species and finish system for your specific Cincinnati, OH microclimate and sun exposure.

Moisture Content Check & Acclimation

Delivered lumber is checked with a pin-type moisture meter before installation. Material is stacked with stickers for airflow and acclimated on-site before being cut and installed — critical for dimensional stability.

Back-Priming, Installation & Fastening

All back faces and field cuts are primed before panels go on the wall. Installation proceeds with correct nailing position, expansion spacing, and stagger pattern to manage wood movement and drainage.

Finish Coat & Final Inspection

Two finish coats of a quality exterior system (primer plus topcoat or two topcoats over field-applied primer) are applied after installation. End-grain joints are caulked with high-movement paintable sealant.

Customer Reviews

Forge Siding Wood Siding — Verified Cincinnati, OH Customer Feedback

★★★★★

The moisture meter check on delivery was something I'd never seen a siding crew do before. They rejected two bundles that read too high and waited for replacement material. That's the kind of discipline that determines long-term performance.

O. Henrikson

Cincinnati, OH homeowner

★★★★★

The custom profile matching was impressive — the new material is indistinguishable from the original sections we retained. Exactly what a historic restoration project requires.

D. & M. Ashworth

Cincinnati Historic District

★★★★★

Cedar board-and-batten on a new custom home build in Cincinnati, OH. The blocking installation behind every vertical batten seam was done correctly — solid nailing surface all the way up. The finished result is exactly what we envisioned for the house.

L. Bergqvist

★★★★★

The diagnosis was correct and the fix was permanent. No other contractor we consulted identified the back-priming issue as the root cause.

FAQ

Wood Siding FAQ — Cincinnati, OH Homeowners Ask

Western red cedar is the standard choice for Cincinnati, OH because of its natural preservative oils, dimensional stability relative to other domestic species, and paint adhesion characteristics. Redwood offers similar properties at a higher price point. Engineered wood strand composites (LP SmartSide) outperform both for moisture resistance at the cost of real wood character.

The repainting interval is the main consideration. If low-maintenance is a priority, we recommend fiber cement with factory-applied finish. If the look of real wood is non-negotiable for your Cincinnati, OH home, we design the installation to extend the maintenance interval as long as possible: back-priming, end-grain sealing, and correct exposure to allow drainage.

The most common failure we repair on previously installed wood siding in Cincinnati, OH is paint failure caused by unpainted back faces. Moisture enters through the raw wood back, migrates through the board, and pushes the front paint off from behind. Back-priming before installation is the single most important step in wood siding longevity.

Historic matching is one of our specialty applications. We've matched unusual profiles on registered historic properties in Cincinnati, OH and know how to work within preservation office approval requirements. If you're in a historic district, start that conversation with us early — profile approval can take time.

Real wood's service life ceiling exceeds any composite product when it's properly maintained. The failure mode for neglected wood siding is rot at exposed end-grain and paint failure on high-UV elevations. Both are preventable with proper installation and regular maintenance.

New construction wood siding projects are a significant part of our Cincinnati, OH work. We coordinate staging, bring the moisture meter to check MC at delivery, acclimate on-site, and integrate with window and trim subcontractors to sequence penetrations correctly before siding begins.
