Vertical board and batten siding in fiber cement, engineered wood or vinyl for farmhouse and modern looks with clean vertical lines.
Board and batten siding runs vertically, with wide boards and narrow strips covering the seams. It is the signature look of modern farmhouses and has a clean, tall feel that works on gables, porches and whole homes. Owners in Nashville choose it for new construction and for updating the look of an older home.
We begin with a Free Estimate and talk about material options, such as fiber cement, engineered wood and vinyl, along with spacing, colors and trim details. We prepare walls, install weather barrier and flashing, hang boards plumb and straight and apply battens evenly over the joints. We take care at corners, windows, soffits and where board and batten meets another siding style, and we finish with caulk, paint or sealant as appropriate. Because board and batten is such a visual style, we encourage you to see mock-ups before choosing. Board width, batten width, spacing and color all change the character of the wall, and small differences are easy to compare on a sample panel. We can also show how the style looks mixed with lap siding or stone on your house.
Vertical siding shows every misalignment, so layout and leveling are done with care.
Fiber cement, engineered wood and vinyl each look and perform differently, and we compare them.
We design transitions where board and batten meets lap siding, stone or brick.
Caulk, paint and trim details create the clean look the style depends on.
