Real wood siding β western red cedar bevel, redwood shingle, pine channel, or engineered wood strand composite β produces an aesthetic no composite fully replicates. It's also the most installation-sensitive cladding type: wood moves with moisture content, and a crew that installs it like vinyl will produce a buckled, paint-failing disaster within two seasons. Our Denver, CO wood siding specialists understand species-specific moisture behavior, back-prime every cut face, and calibrate expansion space to the material's actual movement range.

Our Denver, CO specialists bring the credentials, diagnostic tools, and installation expertise that make the difference between a repair that holds and one that repeats.
Cedar behaves differently from redwood, and engineered wood strand composite behaves differently from both. We match installation technique to species β not one approach applied to all.
Every field cut and exposed end grain is primed before the board goes on the wall. This single practice is the largest determinant of paint longevity and rot prevention on wood siding.
We pin-test delivered lumber at multiple boards per bundle. Material reading above acceptable MC is stickered for airflow and acclimated on-site before installation begins.
State-licensed contractor in CO with GL and workers' comp. License number and certificates available at first contact.
We don't farm out our Wood Siding work. Every project in Denver, CO is assigned to a technician with documented experience on that specific scope.

4" to 12" custom widths, back-primed before installation, nailed with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank fasteners at the correct position relative to the top edge of the course below. 1/8" expansion space at all butt joints regardless of ambient temperature.

Hand-split or sawn shingles require a specific nailing pattern, exposure depth calibrated to shingle length, and self-adhering water-resistive membrane at every course break for high-moisture Denver, CO exposures.

Wood strand composite panels offer better dimensional stability and moisture resistance than natural wood. Field cuts require manufacturer-specified caulk or primer at every edge β treated with the same care as natural wood end grain.

Vertical profiles require correctly located blocking behind every vertical seam for solid fastening, Z-flashing at all horizontal transitions, and correct clearance to grade at the foundation.

Structurally sound wood siding with failing finish can often be saved through proper washing, sanding, end-grain sealing, and a quality exterior finish system β at a fraction of replacement cost. We assess candidacy honestly.

We work with custom millwork suppliers to match discontinued or historic clapboard profiles for restoration projects in Denver, CO's historic districts. Preservation office approval requirements navigated on your behalf.
Our Denver, CO team follows the same documented process on every project β so you always know what comes next.
We discuss aesthetic goals, review moisture exposure on each elevation, and recommend species and finish system for your specific Denver, CO microclimate, sun exposure, and HOA or preservation requirements.
Delivered lumber is pin-tested. Material above acceptable MC is stickered for airflow on-site. Installation begins only when moisture content is within the appropriate range for Denver, CO's conditions.
All back faces and field cuts primed before panels go to the wall. Correct nailing position, expansion spacing, and stagger pattern appropriate to the species and profile.
Two finish coats applied after installation. End-grain joints sealed with high-movement paintable elastomeric caulk. Final walkthrough by elevation at project completion.
The moisture meter check on delivered lumber was something I'd never seen from a siding crew before. They rejected a bundle that read too high. That's the discipline that produces a durable project.
We needed to match a historic clapboard profile for CO preservation approval. Forge Siding sourced the custom-milled profile from a sample board we provided. The preservation office approved on first submission.
The diagnosis alone was worth the visit. Two other contractors just quoted a repaint. Only Forge Siding explained why repainting without back-priming would fail again within three years.
Our Denver-based team covers every community in our Denver, CO service area β same licensed crews, same upfront pricing, same written warranty on every project.
