gratefulrambler Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just purchased a bungalow that requires replacing some of the wood siding because of rot. Does anyone know where I can purchase wood siding commonly found on bungalows throughout the Heights?Love the forum.Cheers,PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwrm4 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Or Grogans on Yale. More expensive than Montalbano but usually have better stuff.Whatever you do, do not use untreated yellow pine siding, which I see too many people doing in the Heights. It will be rotten again in 5 years. Use kiln-dried treated pine, cypress, cedar or redwood. Alternatively, if this is standard clapboard siding, you can use Hardi trim board, which is 7/16" thick, or Hardi Artisan, which is 5/8" thick. Standard Hardiplank is too thin to match wood clapboard siding.Also, if you use any type of wood siding, make sure it is "back-primed" - painted with primer on the backside - before it is put on the house.

Tiko Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Stahlman's on 59 had some profiles that we needed on our old house (that Montalbano didn't have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveg Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I had some siding that was rotted and the entire wall from floor joists/subfloor to the first 2 feet of framing was rotted thanks to previous owner termite damage.Upon doing the inspection of the house a few years ago, there was no noticable damage as it all had been patched up but not repaired. Cheapass previous owners.. fix it right! Unfortunately I did and it cost a ton of money. Atleast I know my walls aren't going to fall down.
