Few materials match the warmth, character, and timeless beauty of real wood siding.

Whether you're restoring a historic home or simply want the rich aesthetic of natural materials, our team has the experience and craftsmanship to make your vision a reality.

Wood siding remains a top choice for homeowners who value authenticity and architectural charm. From traditional lap to rustic cedar shakes, wood offers a wide range of design possibilities—and when installed and maintained correctly, it can last for generations.

Why Choose Wood Siding?

Wood siding offers a warmth and texture that synthetic materials simply can’t replicate. With rich grains, deep tones, and the ability to stain or paint it any color, wood allows for complete customization. It complements a wide range of architectural styles—from Craftsman bungalows and Cape Cod homes to modern farmhouses and luxury estates.

For Atlanta-area homes, wood siding offers the benefit of natural breathability, which helps prevent moisture buildup. And while it does require more maintenance than materials like vinyl or fiber cement, many homeowners find the trade-off worth it for the visual impact and character wood brings to the home.

Compared to vinyl siding, wood offers a more premium, organic appearance and a much broader range of finish options. While it’s not as impact-resistant as fiber cement or as fire-resistant as metal siding, it can be treated to improve durability and resist pests, moisture, and decay. Cedar and redwood are particularly popular for their natural resistance to insects and rot, making them well-suited for Georgia’s climate when installed with proper sealing and flashing.

Maintaining Wood Siding

Wood siding is undeniably beautiful, but it does require consistent maintenance to keep it looking and performing its best—especially in Georgia’s hot, humid summers and rainy seasons. Regular inspections, re-sealing, and repainting or staining every few years help protect the wood from moisture and UV damage.

Proper ventilation and drainage are also important for longevity. Our team installs wood siding with these key factors in mind, using moisture barriers and trim systems that allow the structure to breathe while keeping water out. With the right care, wood siding can last several decades while maintaining its natural charm.

We also offer maintenance plans and touch-up services to help homeowners stay ahead of wear and tear—so your siding always looks as good as the day it was installed.

When Do I Need to Replace Wood Siding?

Wood siding can last 30 to 50 years or longer with proper care, but certain signs may indicate it’s time for repair or replacement. If you're seeing widespread cracking, warping, rot, or paint that continuously peels, it could be a sign that the siding has reached the end of its life.

At Sandy Springs Siding, we inspect each home carefully to determine whether a few repairs can restore your siding or whether full replacement is the better investment. Sometimes, only one or two walls need attention, especially if they face prevailing winds or get the most sun exposure.

We’ll always give you a straight answer—no pressure, just solutions.

Our Wood Siding Installation Process

Installing wood siding requires attention to detail and a deep understanding of natural materials. Our process begins with a design consultation, where we help you choose the right wood type, profile, and finish. Whether you prefer horizontal lap siding, vertical boards, tongue-and-groove, or classic cedar shakes, we guide you toward a look that complements your home and suits your lifestyle.

We begin the installation by preparing the walls with a weather-resistant barrier and ensuring all flashing is installed to direct water away from vulnerable areas. The wood siding is then installed using corrosion-resistant nails, with joints properly staggered and sealed to prevent water intrusion. We finish by caulking edges, applying the chosen stain or paint, and inspecting every detail to ensure a clean, professional result.

Our team works efficiently and respectfully, protecting your landscaping and leaving the job site spotless when we're done. The result is a home exterior that feels high-end, handcrafted, and completely your own.
