Wood shingles with their long-lasting
durability are a popular choice for siding. They lend themselves
to both traditional and contemporary architecture. While they
are more expensive than other options, they can save money on
maintenance in the long run. Wood shingles should not be painted
but can be stained if desired. Talk to a professional about the
type of stain that should be used. Cedar shingles commonly come
in two types: white cedar and red cedar. There are three grades
of shingles that are sold.
