Q: 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&rsquo;t require sanding. However, if you buy older cedar or you&rsquo;re repurposing it from another application, it&rsquo;s a good idea to sand it. This helps the stain settle into the grain, and results in a more uniform appearance. </p></div>

Q: What do you put under lap siding?

• <div><p>Siding underlayment varies based on the type of material, but most siding is installed on top of a vapor barrier, a moisture-resistant house wrap, sheathing made from plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), and a layer of insulation sheeting. Having the correct underlayment is a critical part of properly installing siding and will protect your home from water intrusion, structural damage, and energy loss. </p></div>

Q: Do you put cedar siding rough or smooth side out?

• <div><p>You should install your cedar shake siding with the rough side exposed. The smooth side is less resistant to weathering over the years, and the rough side gives your home a more rugged aesthetic. The rough side also takes to paint better and ensures any paint job will last longer before needing to be redone.</p></div>

Q: What do you put behind wood siding?

• <div><p>Wood siding requires that air can circulate behind it and that water can drain away if necessary. Your home needs a water-restrictive barrier underneath furring strips to achieve the air and water gap.</p></div>

Q: Is engineered wood siding less expensive than wood?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-siding-costs.htm">cost of wood siding</a> varies by the type of wood. Engineered wood siding tends to be in the middle of typical costs (<b>$3 to $7 per square foot </b>for materials). Hardwoods, for instance, can cost <b>$5 to $20 per square foot </b>for materials alone, but cedar wood can be as cheap as <b>$3 per square foot</b>.</p></div>

"My wife and I needed a new patio door and we got quotes and estimates from 3 other competitors. Not only did Hanson beat the competitions prices, but the entire process was fantastic. Our salesman Michael Kaechele walked us through the entire process and made us feel like friends rather than clients. Start to finish the entire Hanson team was outstanding. The only downside is the service was so great they make me want to replace my windows sooner! Can?t wait to work with them again!"
