Siding — Wood Siding

Wood Siding Installation in Idaho Falls, ID

Real cedar and natural wood siding for cabins, custom homes, and mountain properties — installed over rainscreen drainage systems that let the wall dry out, the detail that decides whether wood siding lasts in a freeze-thaw climate.

ABOUT THIS MATERIAL

What you need to know about wood siding

There's a reason wood siding has been used on homes for centuries — nothing else quite replicates the warmth, texture, and natural character it brings to an exterior. From Idaho Falls to Jackson, Wyoming and West Yellowstone, Montana, natural wood is half of what defines the custom mountain-home look, alongside stone and metal — and for cabin owners, custom home builders, and homeowners who want a genuinely authentic exterior, wood siding remains the real thing everything else is trying to imitate.

Wood siding does require more from its owner than other materials. It needs to be painted or stained on installation and maintained on a regular cycle — typically every five to ten years depending on exposure. Eastern Idaho's freeze-thaw cycles, UV intensity at elevation, and moisture fluctuations are harder on wood than most climates. That's why how it goes on matters as much as the wood itself: we install rainscreen drainage systems behind wood siding that create a continuous ventilation space, letting the wall dry out instead of trapping the moisture that kills wood from behind. Done right, wood siding performs beautifully. Done wrong or neglected, it fails faster than any other option we install. (And if you love the look but not the maintenance cycle, [LP SmartSide engineered wood] is the conversation to have first.)

One thing worth knowing upfront — for most projects, especially residential, we can supply the wood siding ourselves. If you'd rather source your own material or have a specific supplier in mind, we can install material you provide as well. Either way, we handle the full installation from there. Based in Idaho Falls and serving cabins, custom homes, and mountain properties across the region, we'll walk you through the options — give us a call.
