Anyone have experience with clap board cedar siding? I have a project that totals 76 squares and I haven't a clue as pricing is concerned. Mainly the speed at which it goes up and the cost per square I should quote. In Maryland. TIA
Not much help there but thanks for the input.AaronB. said:I have done some cedar siding repairs, and it is expensive. Thats all I remember.
Jim: Your right about Hadiplank. Unfortunately the house siding must be wood, not PVC or polymer composite but wood. Choices are shakes or clapboard. I don't even think T1-11 is an option. Worst yet, all the houses in this small piece of a neighborhood are condemned to using wood. Bummer to be mild.jmorgan said:Pricing in the Rockies is about like Grumpy says. I think this is a base price for an "easy" job. Maybe one storey. Need to add more $ for 2-3 storey & big overhangs. Pump jacks, scaffolding??? We're paying about $110 for Cedar around here. We prime all crosscuts, backprime and use sealant at every end cut. HardiPlank is slowly taking over.

Typically all cuts are treated with at least one coat of stain. Butt joints receive a bead of caulk.warpmine said:Speaking of sealant: What is the best to use for this type of material?
