Naturally rot resistant, cedar shingles or “shakes” are a classic American home siding material that blends beautifully with the wooded landscapes and waterfronts of Southeastern, Massachusetts and Cape Cod. Shakes offer the natural look of real wood but usually require less maintenance than wood clapboard. Made of natural cedar, they can be stained brown, grey, or other earthen colors.
Modern science has given us many synthetic wood-look products, yet nothing can match the warmth of solid wood. Cedar, pine, spruce, redwood, cypress, or Douglas firs remain favorite choices for finer homes. With periodic care wood siding can outlast vinyl and other simulated products. As with cedar shingle siding, wood clapboards can be stained rather than painted. Many wood framed houses in our area built centuries ago still look beautiful today.
Fiber cement is a durable, natural looking material that has the appearance of wood. If you want the look of authentic wood with a bit less maintenance, fiber cement is a good option. Fiber Cement is fireproof, termite-proof, and may have a warranty up to fifty years.
Vinyl is made from PVC plastic. Unlike wood or cedar, it won’t rot or flake. There are some excellent products on the market that Kettell installs and vinyl represents a less expensive and relatively maintenance free option for homeowners.
