Hello,
We have a 2500 sq ft house that has shiplap for the exterior siding. The house was built in 1985 and we are thinking it's only been stained twice in its life. The issue is that we have (many) boards that are bowing and many that have come loose over the years. We have had several quotes for both painting the wood or getting vinyl siding. We aren't sure if it's worth painting/staining it and re-securing the boards with all the bowing that has occurred over the years. We love the look of the shiplap as it matches the contemporary look of the building. So my question, is it worth painting the bowing boards and re-securing them? Thanks!
