Even though the cedar was sealed with two spray coats before it was installed, we could tell that it needed a refresh after the winter weather and Utah sun.
It took both of us about eight hours total to seal, with the majority of that time spent maneuvering very tall and heavy ladders.
We love the red look and can tell that the wood was due for a fresh coat -- it nearly glows now. So even though it will be kind of a pain, we'll spend the time once a year to re-seal the wood.
(Also, we were sitting in church a little while ago and noticed this Bible verse from 1 Kings 6:9: "So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar." We had a good laugh.)

Looks beautiful, guys. Good work.
It looks beautiful. Thanks for giving us these little peeks inside home ownership.
8 hours for the two of you? Nice work! I really like the way cedar siding looks. I think it's worth the upkeep.
do you know where you got these prices? Everything I'm finding is much more expensive please send links if you have any.
What prices are you referring to?
Cedar siding is looking nice.Sometime weather can fade the cedar siding. After installation, it is not so difficult to repaint the cedar siding. Some cedar siding are coming in the market that can be washed easily and no need to repaint in a short time. Folks can use this if they want to save time.
I came across your blog while researching modern cedar cladding. Your house is awesome! My question is what did you use to seal the exterior cedar? And was it also stained?
