Replacing wood siding

If you are replacing siding and need to match an existing pattern, our exterior siding products are architecturally correct to help preserve the historic character of your home. The wood siding we carry is milled to match traditional architectural styles and patterns, and in general features a more generous profile. If you’re renovating an older residence or restoring a Victorian where the siding profile is just a little thicker, then this siding should be a better match.

Bodyguard exterior wood siding and matching trim is used on the front of this house

Bodyguard Exterior Siding

This is a premier wood product available in a variety of traditional West Coast siding styles and trim boards to enhance the architectural character of your home. Bodyguard is a natural wood product manufactured from kiln-dried lumber that’s sustainably sourced from the Pine forests of New Zealand. All defects such as knots and resin pockets are removed prior to finger-jointing.

This environmentally friendly preservative extends wood life and provides protection against decay, corrosion and insects. Above ground applications include exterior siding, exterior and interior door and window frames, and trimboard. Primed and ready to paint.
