Wood siding looks great, but for my tastes, I hate the look of greyed cedar. I prefer paint. Paint does peel and does need to be redone or at least touched up periodically… been there done that.
Exactly. All those old pics of Halifax makes it look like most of the buildings were clad in unpainted shingles that turned gray and then black from coal smoke. There’s a reason they called Halifax a Dirty Old Town.
