There is nothing that can match the natural beauty of aged cedar siding on a traditional home. It is especially nice on home located on wooded lots or by the lakeshore.

Cedar shake and other siding has the advantage of being a natural product that you can stain or let age naturally with a coat of sealer applied at intervals. Though cedar will last for years, it does require maintenance and will eventually need parts  replaced. Any natural product will be affected by water, sun and insects over time. How well you take care of it will determine how long it will last. The beauty of cedar is well worth the effort you will put into it's maintenance.

If you love the look of cedar shakes, but can not afford the real thing, you can get other products that are made to give you the look of cedar shakes. some of these are: Masonite, Hardie board, concrete and cement board and vinyl siding. You need to go online and look at each product and what their version of a shake look is like. It is not the real thing and will not have the natural cedar finish, but a painted cedar look, but it will be a good representation. These products may be easy maintenance and never need repainting , which would be a good advantage. I would go see the actual siding at a local dealer, before I made my decision.
