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.

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.

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 Clarksburg, WV 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 Clarksburg, WV 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.

Customer Reviews

Forge Siding Wood Siding — Verified Clarksburg, WV Customer Feedback

★★★★★

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.

We needed to match the historic clapboard profile on our 1910 Victorian for a WV historic district approval. Forge Siding sourced the custom milled profile from a sample board we provided and it matched exactly. The preservation office approved on first submission.

Cedar board-and-batten on a new custom home build in Clarksburg, WV. The blocking installation behind every vertical batten seam was done correctly — solid nailing surface all the way up. The finished result is exactly what we envisioned for the house.

FAQ

Answers to Your Wood Siding Questions in Clarksburg, WV

Western red cedar is the standard choice for Clarksburg, WV 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.

Wood siding buckles for three primary reasons: installed too tight (no expansion space at butt joints), installed at too-high moisture content (wood shrinks on drying and the constraint causes compression buckling), or back side not primed (differential expansion between the painted face and the raw back creates curvature). We address all three as standard practice on every wood siding project.

Historic matching is one of our specialty applications. We've matched unusual profiles on registered historic properties in Clarksburg, WV and know how to work within preservation office approval requirements. If you're in a historic district, start that conversation with us early — profile approval can take time.

Properly installed, maintained, and finished cedar siding can last 40–60 years on a Clarksburg, WV 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 WV typically need repainting 20–30% more often than north walls.

New construction wood siding projects are a significant part of our Clarksburg, WV work. We coordinate staging, bring the moisture meter to check MC at delivery, acclimate on-site, and integrate with window and trim subcontractors to sequence penetrations correctly before siding begins.
