Types of Wood Commonly Used for Siding

Wood has been a long-time favorite for residential and commercial siding projects. It is easy to install and maintain and appeals to a wide range of budgets.

The different types of wood that we use for siding projects in New Orleans include:

1. Cypress: A durable wood siding material with rot and insect-resistant properties, honey-like hues, and intriguing grain patterns. Old cypress wood is very durable because it is dense, fine-grained, and hard.
2. Redwood: A rich red-toned and deep-grained wood that maintains its red color and darkens as it ages.
3. Cedar: An all-wood siding material that can be stained or painted or used on its own and is available as a less expensive white wood grain or a more expensive, dense heartwood. It has a rich character that includes rot, insect, and moisture resistance.
4. Fir: A wood species with an even, consistent color and delicate graining, available in long sections, and stains and finishes well.
5. Spruce: A softwood species that is an economical siding option, comes in longer boards, and works best for shiplap or clapboard siding projects.
6. Pine: A light-colored, honey-brown softwood that is in abundant supply.
7. Engineered Wood: A composite wood siding with wood fibers that are coated in waxes, resins, and other ingredients and then pressed under heat to create a wood texture.

Cost of Wood Siding Per Square Foot Installed

The average cost for wood siding material based on materials alone is typically $1 to $5 per square foot. But natural wood siding installations can cost $6 to $12 considering all factors like materials and labor. The average to install wood siding on a 1,500-square-foot home is $9 per square foot.
