Traditional Exterior by Ann Arbor Architects & Building Designers Angelini and Associates Architects
We'll be installing cedar for our siding. I've read about too many problems with vinyl and cement fiberboard, and any other material would be beyond our price range. There ARE issues with the new fast growing cedar that are available. I was hoping for a rain screen to mitigate that issue, and here's an article from The Journal of Light Construction from 2006 detailing how to construct a rain screen, but most contractors have never heard of this technique. The siding will just be installed the "normal" way.I find myself caring less and less about specifics, and more and more about actually moving into the house as time passes!
