Where Treated Wood Makes Sense on Long Island
Treated wood is pressure-treated to resist rot and insects, then installed and finished on site. A typical treated wood reside on a 2,000 sqft Long Island home typically runs $20,000 – $36,000. It is a good fit for homeowners who want a genuine wood exterior and are prepared for a refinishing cycle every few years — coastal humidity and salt air will show on unmaintained wood faster than it will on vinyl or fiber cement.
If you want the wood look without the refinishing commitment, engineered cedar or composite cladding are worth comparing before you decide.
