Is your small store, restaurant, clinic, school, consulting office or any other commercial property built with T1-11 siding? You are most likely aware of the pros and cons of this type of siding and the measures to keep it in great shape. 

T1-11 siding is a wood or wood-based siding. If you haven’t heard of T1-11 before, it used to be really popular back in the day due to its natural wood grain look that people liked. However, it has fallen from favor in recent years. T1-11 comes in two types:

• Plywood – A type of T1-11 siding made from plywood materials. The plywood option stands up better to weather elements than its oriented strand board (OSB) counterpart.
• Oriented strand board (OSB) — Another type of T1-11 siding having the appearance of its plywood counterpart. However, it is actually made from wood flakes combined and pressed together to form a whole panel. However, OSB is weaker compared to plywood because it is prone to absorb moisture. This leads to the weakening of the siding, along with surface issues such as peeling and cracks.

Although its popularity has been taken over by other types of siding, such as natural wood, vinyl, and engineered wood, T1-11 is still very much available. It can be seen in many homes, outbuildings, and smaller commercial buildings.

One of the advantages of T1-11 siding is its versatility. It can be painted, stained, cut, and styled in different ways to achieve a variety of looks. T1-11 is also one of the economical siding options. However, it requires regular repainting and maintenance to protect it from heat and especially moisture, and to maintain its attractive appearance.

What we offer

Here are the typical steps in painting T1-11 siding:

1. Inspection and preparation – Our crew inspects your T1-11 siding for damage such as cracks and holes. Then they prepare the surfaces – cleaning, drying out, and making the necessary repairs, sanding, and priming before painting. In addition, our crew prepares the work area by covering doors, windows, decks, bushes, etc. with drop cloths.
2. Color consultation and selection – Our color consultants discuss with clients about the colors to be used for the siding. We explore various color and shade options and take the architectural aspects of your property into account as bases for your color choices. Next, we provide color samples and conduct testing to help clients observe how colors change throughout the day, under different lighting conditions. Once all the color options are sampled and evaluated, we and the client reach an agreement on the color palette.
3. Professional painting – Our crew paints the cleaned, dried and prepared T1-11 siding through any application methods, although spraying paint is generally the most preferred. Following the paint job, we do some touch-ups or detailed paint work if needed. 
4. Quality assurance – Finally, our crew does a walkthrough and final inspection to ensure that we carried the work to industry standards and to customer satisfaction. 

We always provide warranties! We always stand behind our work by providing our clients with a written warranty after our job is completed. Our warranty should cover any defects and errors as a result of our workmanship.
