Siding

A facade that ages like real wood should — because it is.

A facade that holds up, not just looks good on day one

Vinyl and fiber cement can imitate the look of wood, but not the way it weathers, feels, or lasts. Real hardwood and cedar siding ages into its own character over the years instead of fading into a flat, plastic sameness — and the same density that makes these species great decking also makes them resist rot, insects, and Florida's relentless sun-and-rain cycle as a facade. The right species depends on your budget and the look you're after.

Built for Florida

Sun, humidity, and salt air change what a facade needs to survive

A siding material in Central Florida takes a beating that most parts of the country never see — intense UV, sudden downpours, thick humidity, and salt air for anything near the coast. Every species we carry for siding is naturally suited to exactly those conditions, resisting rot and insects instead of just hiding behind a coat of paint. We'll tell you honestly what fits your project and budget — not just what's most profitable to sell you.

Common Questions

Siding, answered honestly

What woods are used for siding in Florida?

The same dense hardwoods that make great decking also make excellent siding — Ipe, Cumaru, Red Balau, Tali, Garapa, Massaranduba, Tigerwood, Fijian Mahogany, Kanda, and Jatoba — plus Cedar for a lighter, more traditional look. All hold up well against Florida's sun, humidity, and salt air.

Is hardwood siding harder to install than vinyl or fiber cement?

It's a different install, not necessarily a harder one — denser species may call for pre-drilling, but an experienced contractor works with real wood siding routinely. The payoff is a look and durability synthetic siding can't match.

Does real wood siding hold up in Florida's climate?

Yes. The species we carry are naturally dense and rot- and insect-resistant, which is exactly what holds up under Central Florida's sun, humidity swings, and coastal salt air.

Can any species be milled into a specific siding profile?

Yes — every species we carry can be custom milled into bevel siding, tongue and groove, or a specific trim profile. See our Custom Milling page for details.
