In general, wood siding has a nice natural look to it that many people insist on. It looks much more natural than vinyl panels and the slight imperfections in the boards make it more natural looking than composite wood siding or fiber cement (at least to a trained eye).
By utilizing various styles and features, this can add a unique look to a home. Perhaps using scallops on a top section and the up and down panels on the lower levels makes for a stunning visual effect.
This cladding demands more maintenance than other exterior cladding such as vinyl siding. It must be painted periodically to keep the wood strong and safe from the elements.
