Natural Wood Siding in Ferndale, MD — Installed by Specialists Who Understand the Material

Name: Forge Siding
Telephone: +1-844-782-0929
Price range: $$

Wood siding's performance envelope depends entirely on how it was installed, back-primed, and finished. Raw cedar bevels nailed too tight will buckle in summer. Unpainted end-grain at butt joints will wick moisture and rot within a few years. We address both failure modes as non-negotiable practice on every wood siding project in Ferndale, MD.

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 Ferndale, MD 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 Ferndale, MD historic districts where replacement cladding must match the original material identically.

Our Process

The Forge Siding Wood Siding Workflow

A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better results. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Ferndale, MD 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 Ferndale, MD 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

What Ferndale, MD Customers Say About Our Wood Siding

★★★★★

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

Ferndale, MD 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

Ferndale Historic District

★★★★★

The crew understood wood's movement characteristics at every step. Expansion gaps at the right dimensions, correct nailing position, end-grain sealed everywhere it was exposed. Real expertise.

L. Bergqvist

Ferndale, MD

★★★★★

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

FAQ

Answers to Your Wood Siding Questions in Ferndale, MD

Western red cedar is the standard choice for Ferndale, MD 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.

Yes — honestly, yes. Natural wood siding needs repainting or restaining every 5–8 years depending on sun exposure, climate, and the paint system used. Engineered wood products extend that to 10–12 years. That maintenance interval is the primary trade-off against the aesthetic advantage. For homeowners who want zero-maintenance exterior, wood isn't the right product — and we'll tell you that directly.

The most common failure we repair on previously installed wood siding in Ferndale, MD 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 Ferndale, MD 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 Ferndale, MD 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.
