wooden shingles vs. cedar clapboards

[Karen Finck]

Same Victorian house. Thinking of doing the barn in
wooden shingles vs. new clapboards. I wondered about
the maintenance and the cost factor of the two.

Hi

I am building a 3,500 square foot home on the beach/ocean in Long Island, NY. After completion

the value of the home will be about 2 million

dollars. I am not certain what type of material

should be used. Some suggest wooded other suggest asphalt. I am concerned about devaluating the

home with an inferior product. What do you suggest?

Thanks

C. Anthony

I have an exterior archway that I need to install wooden shingles under the curved arch. What type of shingles is best, do I need to soak the shingles in water to get them to bend? If you have any insight please forward a response.

Sincerely,

Dennis Patricio
