Shakertown Siding Panels and individual Shingles are available with factory finishes or you can finish after delivery.

• Maximum life - A quality oil based finish or paint will maximize the life of your
Cedar Shingle Siding.
• Prefinishing - Finishes can be applied after the product is installed but
prefinishing is an efficient and economical approach.
• Natural Color Variations - Part of the beauty of Western Red Cedar
is its natural color variances. Stains and finishes can either augment or
subdue these natural characteristics.

Refinishing Red Cedar Shingles
Refinishing of Shakertown Siding Panels is simple and follows the normal procedure for renewing any wood surface. It must be free of loose matter such as dirt, dust, peeling paint or excessive chalking of the old film. A stiff brush should be used to remove all foreign matter, allowing the new finish to adhere properly. If mildew is present, it must be dealt with promptly.
