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 San Antonio, TX 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 San Antonio, TX 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 San Antonio, TX 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 San Antonio, TX 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.

Every single piece was back-primed before it went on the wall — the installer showed me the process and explained why it matters for paint longevity. Four years later the paint looks as good as the day it was applied.

FAQ

Wood Siding FAQ — San Antonio, TX Homeowners Ask

Western red cedar is the standard choice for San Antonio, TX 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 San Antonio, TX 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.

For most historic clapboard and channel profiles, yes — we work with custom millwork operations that can match any profile from a physical sample or measured drawing. For TX homes in registered historic districts, we verify material specs against any applicable preservation guidelines before ordering custom material.

Properly installed, maintained, and finished cedar siding can last 40–60 years on a San Antonio, TX home. The service life depends heavily on finish maintenance interval, the quality of the installation (especially back-priming and end-grain sealing), and the sun and moisture exposure on each elevation. South and west walls in TX typically need repainting 20–30% more often than north walls.

Absolutely. Wood siding on new construction in San Antonio, TX requires coordination with the framing schedule — the building should be dried in (sheathing, housewrap, windows) before wood delivery so material can be stored under cover on-site. We work directly with your GC on new construction projects to hit the siding window in the construction schedule without sitting on material too long.
