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 Gresham, OR 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

The Forge Siding Difference for Wood Siding in Gresham, OR

Not every crew offering Wood Siding in Gresham, OR 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 OR

State-licensed contractor in OR 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.

★★★★★

We needed to match a historic clapboard profile for OR preservation approval. Forge Siding sourced the custom-milled profile from a sample board we provided. The preservation office approved on first submission.

L. Bergqvist

Gresham Historic District|Gresham, OR

★★★★★

Our previous wood siding had complete paint failure because the original installer hadn't back-primed. Forge Siding diagnosed the root cause, stripped the failing finish, back-primed all panels in place, and recoated. Three years — zero paint failures.

FAQ

Common Questions About Wood Siding in Gresham, OR

Western red cedar is the standard recommendation for most OR 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 Gresham, OR 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 OR 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 OR 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.

Gresham (/ˈɡrɛʃəm/ GRESH-əm) is a city located in Multnomah County, Oregon, in the United States of America, immediately east of Portland, Oregon. It is considered a suburb within the Greater Portland Metropolitan area. Though it began as a settlement in the mid-1800s, it was not officially incorporated as a city until 1905; it was named after Walter Quintin Gresham, the American Civil War general and United States Secretary of State.
