What’s the Best Paint for Cedar Siding? Heidi Found the Answer!

At Home Shield Coating®, we love sharing successful stories from our valued customers. Heidi from McHenry, Illinois, recently discovered the ultimate solution to protect and beautify her cedar-sided home, and we’re excited to share her experience. Prior to hiring Home Shield Coating® she had issues with her cedar siding constantly peeling. 

The Challenge: Rotting Cedar Siding & Frequent Repainting

Heidi’s home had about 150 feet of cedar siding suffering from significant rotting due to continuous exposure to harsh weather conditions. The previous solid stain wasn’t providing lasting protection, leading to frequent and costly repainting. Realizing this cycle needed to stop, Heidi sought out the Best Exterior Paint specifically designed for cedar siding. She wanted the Longest Lasting Exterior Paint that would stand up to Illinois weather while dramatically reducing maintenance and costs.

Choosing the Best Solution: Home Shield Coating®

After obtaining multiple quotes, Heidi chose Home Shield Coating®, recognized as the Best House Painters in McHenry, Illinois. Our expert team provided a detailed assessment and determined a thorough approach to restore and protect Heidi’s home:

Step-by-Step Restoration and Protection

1. Carpentry Repairs:

   • We replaced all 150 feet of rotted cedar siding boards.

2. Power Washing:

   • We began by applying our special cleaning solution to eliminate mold, mildew, dirt, grease, and grime.

   • After cleaning, we performed moisture tests to ensure the siding was ready for coating.

3. Surface Preparation and Masking:

   • Windows and areas not intended for coating were carefully masked off to avoid overspray.

4. Bonding Agent (Pink Primer) Application:

   • Our proprietary waterproof bonding agent primer was applied, penetrating deeply into the cedar siding and drying overnight.

5. Topcoat Application:

   • The next day, our team meticulously applied two coats of Home Shield Coating® topcoat, starting from the soffit, fascia, and gutters down to window trims.

   • Finally, we coated the main body of the house, creating a robust, durable, and beautiful finish available in any color
