Natural Wood Siding in Erie, CO.
Installed Right.

Real wood siding — western red cedar bevel, redwood shingle, pine channel, or engineered wood strand composite — 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 Erie, 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.

Why Choose Our Wood Siding

Why Choose Our Wood Siding in Erie, CO

Not every crew offering Wood Siding in Erie, CO has the manufacturer certifications and documented track record to back the claim. Here's what separates our team.

Species-Specific Installation Expertise

Cedar behaves differently from redwood, and engineered wood strand composite behaves differently from both. We match installation technique to species — not one approach applied to all.

All Field Cuts & End Grain Back-Primed

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.

Moisture Content Verified at Delivery

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.

Licensed & Insured in CO

State-licensed contractor in CO with GL and workers' comp. License number and certificates available at first contact.

Customer Reviews

Real Feedback from Forge Siding Wood Siding Clients

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

Cedar board-and-batten on a new custom build. Blocking behind every vertical batten seam before a single board went up. The finished result is everything we envisioned, built to perform for decades.

D. & M. Ashworth

★★★★★

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.

FAQ

Wood Siding FAQ — Erie, CO

Western red cedar is the standard recommendation for most CO properties because of its natural extractives that resist surface mold, relative dimensional stability, and paint adhesion characteristics. Redwood offers similar properties at a higher price point. For humid or high-moisture Erie, CO exposures, engineered wood strand composite products (LP SmartSide) outperform both for moisture resistance.
The refinishing interval is manageable when planned for, and the installation was done correctly: back-primed, end-grain sealed, with appropriate expansion clearances.
The most common failure we diagnose on previously installed wood siding in CO is paint failure driven by unpainted back faces. Moisture enters through the raw wood, migrates through the board, and pushes the front paint off from behind.
For most historic clapboard and channel profiles, yes — we work with custom millwork operations that can produce any profile from a physical sample or measured drawing. For CO homes in registered historic districts, we verify material specs against preservation office requirements before ordering.
We carry the moisture meter to every new construction delivery and acclimate material on-site when readings require it. This adds time but prevents the buckled boards that follow installation of material that was too wet.
