My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is this a wood shake siding or stained fiber cement? It popped up when I searched for stained fiber cement, but thought it looked to good to be true!!!

    The wall shingles are Rebutted and Rejoined cedar shingles (smooth) which gives the tightest, cleanest joints & lines. The Cabot's stain color is called "natural".

      It is a western red cedar wood shingle.

      What stain was used on the shingles?
    • 12 years ago
      Were the shingles left natural, or were they treated with a stain and/or a paint to avoid heavy maintenance?

      Cedar Shingles were pre-dipped in the factory in Cabot's "Natural" finish so that all sides were sealed and finished.

      We're trying to achieve this look on our cedar shake siding. Are you referring to Cabot's Australian Timber Oil in natural that was used at the factory? And are your shingles rough cut or smooth? Thanks--Beautiful home!

      Thank you! We love the look you've achieved here and appreciate the info.
