Cedar Shingle Siding

Also called “shakes,” cedar shingle siding is usually found in the New England area among Cape Cod homes. The cedar shingles can be stained in a variety of earth-tone colors.

Pros: Can last up to 30 years; doesn’t buckle or curl.

Cons: Often viewed as high-maintenance since shingles need treatment about every five years to prevent rot or mildew; not the best choice for regions where fires are more common.
