Can I create shou sugi siding with cedar wood?

• <div><p>Yes, cedar is a popular option for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-shou-sugi-ban-siding.htm">shou sugi ban siding,</a> which is a Japanese style of charring wood for a home’s exterior to finish and protect the material. Cedar <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/shou-sugi-ban-siding-price.htm">shou sugi ban siding costs</a> $15 per square foot on average, but ranges between $2 and $25 per square foot depending on your home’s size, the price of labor, and where you live.</p></div>

How big does hail have to be to damage siding?

• <div><p>Hail as small as 3/4 inch (about the size of a penny) can cause damage to your siding. When hail reaches 1 inch in size, you can expect to see more cracks, chips, and holes, and hail that’s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. If you see hail that’s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.</p></div>

Do you need to sand cedar siding before staining?

• <div><p>If you buy new cedar, the process of cutting it usually roughs up the surface enough that it doesn’t require sanding. However, if you buy older cedar or you’re repurposing it from another application, it’s a good idea to sand it. This helps the stain settle into the grain, and results in a more uniform appearance. </p></div>

The work was spread over a very long time. I had 2-3 months where I couldn't get anyone involved to return my calls and tell me what was going on. The original salesman was about the only one who would call back but he had little control over what was happening. When the gutter replacement was...

Before the visit, Brian advised that the job would include all of their time, including any efforts to expose the pipes. Since it was an easy job to pull off the paneling on the interior wall (and replace when he was finished), we did that ourselves. He arrived with a helper and had the job done...

The crew of three arrived on time and started work. I expected it to take all day and in fact they were done in 4 1/2 hours. Upstairs was fantastic with good depth across all areas. They also threw in adding some baffles for several areas they said should have had them but didnt. Underfloor...

On the communication end, there was so much confusion between who to call with questions or schedule changes: Lowes or Credit River Granite. It didn't seem that they communicated with each other because if I called one, the other didn't know what changes took place (both seemed guilty of this)....

"The job was done to satisfaction. I would not recommend due to the lack of communication and time management, I was scheduled for for an early appointment and no one showed, after I called it was pushed multiple times after that. I did agree to the price, but after consulting others I paid way too much for what was done. When it came time for the gentleman to collect payment you bet he was ontime, even a bit early."
