Cedar Siding Can Be Saved!

Neglected Cedar Siding can be an eyesore on your home’s curb appeal.  Many homeowners, like this Louisville, KY homeowner, think that their siding is beyond repair. Nothing could be further from the truth.  Allow the following pictures to demonstrate the results that a professional wood restoration contractor can yield.

The Story:

I received a call from this Louisville, KY homeowner to quote the staining of his cedar siding.  He had decided to use a solid color stain because his siding was ” well beyond saving” , but covering his home with vinyl siding would cost over SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS!!

After hiring a painter to clean his siding with bleach and water, he wanted a wood professional to complete the staining.  Needless to say, I was shocked when I arrived. After several $100′s of dollars spent, the before pictures are how clean the painting contractor had prepared the siding.The siding was still heavily weathered from years of abuse by UV rays.  This makes the siding have burnt or charred appearance.

I demonstrated the proper way to clean, neutralize, and brighten cedar siding.  My customer was truly amazed and we scheduled the cedar siding restoration services right away.  I will post the stain / sealing pictures on another thread.

If you believe that your cedar siding is beyond repair, I encourage you to either have a professional provide a free demo, or use professional wood restoration products as recommended by the manufacturer.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL:

Mike – Your knowledge, skills, and wood cleaning and restoration products are unsurpassed. Just two days ago, the wood on the whole back addition of our house was black and gray. The previous owner did not stain/weatherproof it for over 14 years and we thought it was way beyond repair. We had resigned ourselves to the …fact that the only thing we could do with it was to stain it a solid color or put up vinyl siding. Today this wood only looks a year or two old and over 90% of the black and gray is gone. We can’t wait to see it after you stain it. See you on Thursday and thanks again.
