Professional Wood Siding for Baton Rouge Homes
Nothing matches the warmth, depth, and character of real wood siding. For Baton Rouge homeowners who want their exterior to make a lasting impression, natural wood delivers a timeless aesthetic that manufactured materials can only imitate. We install western red cedar, redwood, cypress, and premium engineered wood products, each selected for its ability to perform in Louisiana's demanding subtropical environment when properly finished and maintained. Our licensed and insured craftsmen treat every wood siding project as fine carpentry, ensuring tight joints, precise miters, and flawless alignment from foundation to fascia.
The key to successful wood siding in Baton Rouge is preparation and protection. Louisiana's high humidity, intense sun, and heavy rainfall can punish wood that is not properly sealed on all six sides before installation. Our process starts with selecting kiln-dried, premium-grade lumber and applying a high-quality primer or penetrating stain to every surface, including the back and cut ends, before the boards ever touch your walls. This prevents moisture from wicking into the grain and dramatically extends the life of each board. We also install a properly detailed rain screen system behind the siding, creating an air gap that allows trapped moisture to drain and dry rather than sitting against your sheathing.
For homeowners who love the look of wood but want reduced maintenance, we also offer engineered wood siding products like LP SmartSide, which combine real wood fibers with resin binders and zinc borate for superior resistance to rot, termites, and fungal decay. These products accept paint and stain just like natural wood, provide a genuine wood-grain texture, and carry 50-year limited warranties. Whether you choose traditional cedar clapboards for a Garden District restoration or engineered lap siding for a contemporary new build, our team ensures your wood siding looks stunning and stands up to everything Baton Rouge weather throws at it.
