Aluminum Siding Removal

Question
I am having the aluminum siding taken off my house and plan to have wood siding applied. One contractor suggested putting up red cedar clapboards or red cedar shingles. Another suggested putting up primed clapboards. What should I do?

Answer
Taking off the aluminum siding is a good idea, and you should get about 10 cents a pound for the aluminum; it has some worth. The contractors have worthy offers, but you should be aware of the need to prime red cedar to prevent cedar bleed, the leaching of the cedar color (brown) out of the cedar by water, depositing it on the finish as brown stain. The priming is necessary if you paint or apply a solid-color stain.
