Cedar Bevel & Clapboard Siding

Western red cedar bevel siding in custom-milled widths from 4" to 12". Each board is back-primed before installation, nailed with hot-dipped galvanized ring-shank nails at the correct position relative to the top edge of the course below, and left with 1/8" expansion space at all butt joints.

Engineered Wood Siding (LP SmartSide & Similar)

Engineered wood strand composite panels offer wood's appearance with significantly better dimensional stability and moisture resistance. Field cuts require sealing with the manufacturer's specified caulk or primer — we treat them the same as real wood end-grain.

Wood Siding Refinishing & Preservation

Existing wood siding that is structurally sound but failing in finish can often be saved with proper power washing, sanding, end-grain sealing, and a high-quality exterior finish system — at a fraction of replacement cost.

Historic & Custom Profile Matching

We work with custom millwork suppliers to match discontinued or historic clapboard profiles on restoration projects — critical for homes in Poulsbo, WA historic districts where replacement cladding must match the original material identically.

Our Process

From First Call to Finished Project

A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better results. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Poulsbo, WA Wood Siding team.

Species & Finish Consultation

We discuss your aesthetic goals, review moisture exposure on each wall elevation, and recommend the right species and finish system for your specific Poulsbo, WA microclimate and sun exposure.

Moisture Content Check & Acclimation

Delivered lumber is checked with a pin-type moisture meter before installation. Material is stacked with stickers for airflow and acclimated on-site before being cut and installed — critical for dimensional stability.

Back-Priming, Installation & Fastening

All back faces and field cuts are primed before panels go on the wall. Installation proceeds with correct nailing position, expansion spacing, and stagger pattern to manage wood movement and drainage.

Finish Coat & Final Inspection

Two finish coats of a quality exterior system (primer plus topcoat or two topcoats over field-applied primer) are applied after installation. End-grain joints are caulked with high-movement paintable sealant.

Customer Reviews

What Poulsbo, WA Customers Say About Our Wood Siding

★★★★★

The moisture meter check on delivery was something I'd never seen a siding crew do before. They rejected two bundles that read too high and waited for replacement material. That's the kind of discipline that determines long-term performance.

O. Henrikson

Poulsbo, WA homeowner

★★★★★

The custom profile matching was impressive — the new material is indistinguishable from the original sections we retained. Exactly what a historic restoration project requires.

D. & M. Ashworth

Poulsbo Historic District

★★★★★

The crew understood wood's movement characteristics at every step. Expansion gaps at the right dimensions, correct nailing position, end-grain sealed everywhere it was exposed. Real expertise.

L. Bergqvist

Poulsbo, WA

★★★★★

We had wood siding that was structurally fine but had complete paint failure — unpainted backs from the original installation causing paint to bubble off from behind. Forge Siding stripped the finish, back-primed all panels in place, and re-coated with a quality exterior system. It's been three years without a single paint issue.

FAQ

Common Questions About Wood Siding in Poulsbo, WA

For WA's humidity and temperature profile, western red cedar is almost always our recommendation for natural wood siding. It moves less than pine or spruce with moisture change, holds paint longer, and its heartwood is naturally resistant to surface mold. We use Select Tight Knot grade or better for all face-grain-exposed applications.

The repainting interval is the main consideration. If low-maintenance is a priority, we recommend fiber cement with factory-applied finish. If the look of real wood is non-negotiable for your Poulsbo, WA home, we design the installation to extend the maintenance interval as long as possible: back-priming, end-grain sealing, and correct exposure to allow drainage.

The most common failure we repair on previously installed wood siding in Poulsbo, WA is paint failure caused by unpainted back faces. Moisture enters through the raw wood back, migrates through the board, and pushes the front paint off from behind. Back-priming before installation is the single most important step in wood siding longevity.

For most historic clapboard and channel profiles, yes — we work with custom millwork operations that can match any profile from a physical sample or measured drawing. For WA homes in registered historic districts, we verify material specs against any applicable preservation guidelines before ordering custom material.

Real wood's service life ceiling exceeds any composite product when it's properly maintained. The failure mode for neglected wood siding is rot at exposed end-grain and paint failure on high-UV elevations. Both are preventable with proper installation and regular maintenance.

Absolutely. Wood siding on new construction in Poulsbo, WA requires coordination with the framing schedule — the building should be dried in (sheathing, housewrap, windows) before wood delivery so material can be stored under cover on-site. We work directly with your GC on new construction projects to hit the siding window in the construction schedule without sitting on material too long.

The Suquamish people have inhabited the surrounding area, called č̓uʔč̓uɬac in Lushootseed, for millennia. After the signing of the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855, many were moved to the Port Madison Indian Reservation. Poulsbo was then founded in the 1880s by Norwegian immigrant Jørgen Eliason, who was joined by other Scandinavians who relocated from the Midwestern states. They were drawn here by the availability of land, by the area's rich resources, and by a landscape similar to their native home. The settlement was connected by boats to other areas of the region, including the Puget Sound mosquito fleet, which was eventually usurped by highways built in the early 20th century.
