Often times, traditional lap siding, if "stretched", will cup at the seams, Dutch lap in general is not a prone to this problem as bad. Don't focus this minor problem, just make sure you get a good product and hire a reputable installer and you house will look like new again.

What is the weight of wood lap siding?
It depends on the density of the wood used and its thickness, or cross sectional area and the amount of overlap between boards. An average cladding quality softwood is around 24- 32 lbs per cu foot. Assuming approximately 3/4 of an inch thick siding thickness with no overlap this amount of timber would cover a 16 square foot of wall. So it would weigh approximately between 1.5 to 2 lbs per square foot.
