Do People Still Install Wood Siding?

Wood Siding popularity has steadily declined over the years as more homeowners opted for Cedar Ridge, Vinyl and Fiber Cement Siding, which require less maintenance. Only 4% of new homes completed in 2021 were made with wood siding, down from 39% in 1990. That’s because wood is more susceptible to getting water damage. Our experts at Conservation Construction of Dallas would highly recommend choosing one of the new options as they protect and insulate better than wood siding, and they can look just like real wood!
