CladdingCustom-milled H3.2 treated pine

Mid-project: failed cedar stripped back, with new building underlay going on before the replacement cladding.

The job

The original cedar cladding on this home had failed. Boards were cracked, cupped, and past the point where repairs or coatings could save them. The owner needed the problem fixed properly, not patched.

Matching the original look mattered. Rather than switching to an off-the-shelf profile that would never quite sit right, we arranged a custom mill run of H3.2 treated pine cut to match the existing profile, so the finished walls look like they've always belonged.

How we delivered it

We stripped the failed cedar in stages, replaced the building underlay, and fixed the new custom-milled boards section by section so the house stayed weathertight throughout.

New flashings and trims went in as we worked, and the finished cladding was coated to protect it for decades to come. The result is a home that looks right and is genuinely watertight underneath.

The finished side: new pine cladding coated and complete, profile matched to the original home.
