Modify Scale in the Texture Editor for the Image or Procedural Map that the Material is using:

Thank you for that insight, that has helped me, and with adding an image I see that I can still see part of where the image crops.

Your texture image is not seamless.  Fix it in photoshop or download a better texture image.

You can see the top of the image has a darker shade than the bottom and that cause bad effect called tiling.

A band-aid fix it without getting a better image is set the vertical dimension out of this world so that the image is stretch out and the seams are out of your model.  It works in this case because your texture is one way.  But for more complex textures, I suggest getting seamless images for better quality rendering.  See the link I provided for what seamless textures mean. It is essential for any rendering enthusiasts.

Your Image is fine. The "seam" is not coming from the Image. It's coming from the Texture Editor properties.  Like I said, either the size is wrong or the offset is wrong or both.

You know, another way to do this is by using Wall Sweeps for the batts of Batt and Board Finish.  Food for thought.
