These Golden, CO had been in their 1993 cedar-sided home for six years and new it was time to replace the old wood siding. The harsh Colorado climate in Golden, CO had spent nearly thirty years chipping away at the painted cedar siding, and the planks were warping and paint was peeling.
More than the look, however, degraded cedar siding does little to protect a home. With old siding and old windows, the homeowners felt they were losing energy from their home fast, and it was becoming an issues heating and cooling and maintaining a comfortable, dry climate inside the home. With thermal expansion and contraction, soft cedar siding planks allow moisture, cold air and wind to easily pass into the home.
