Do you need to sand cedar siding before staining?

• <div><p>If you buy new cedar, the process of cutting it usually roughs up the surface enough that it doesn’t require sanding. However, if you buy older cedar or you’re repurposing it from another application, it’s a good idea to sand it. This helps the stain settle into the grain, and results in a more uniform appearance. </p></div>

Q: What is the best stain for cedar siding?

• <div><p>Oil-based stains are preferred over latex or water-based varieties because your home's cedar siding must constantly withstand the weather conditions in your location. These stains provide better penetration into the wood to more effectively protect it from UV rays and water infiltration. Oil-based stains are available in transparent, semi-transparent, opaque, or solid-color selections to achieve the look you desire. </p></div>

Q: Does stucco siding increase home value?

• <div><p>In some cases, stucco siding will increase your home value. Stucco is an attractive siding option, meaning it maximizes your curb appeal. This exterior feature also comes with added benefits, such as being relatively easy and affordable to repair, making your home more energy-efficient, and making the exterior of your home fire-resistant. On average, you can expect a return on investment of around <b>70%</b>.</p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to a stucco house?

• <div><p>Many people looking for an alternative to stucco consider fiber cement, stone veneer, brick, stone, and vinyl. Wood is another potentially affordable option, but it requires more maintenance than stucco, so most homeowners who like the look and minimal siding maintenance of stucco opt for brick or stone. There are many different siding options, so you&rsquo;ll need to weigh your priorities in terms of budget, aesthetics, insulation, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to put siding over stucco?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-siding-cost-replace.htm">cost to replace siding</a> is $10,500, but you should expect to pay an average of $12,000 to install new siding over stucco. The additional cost goes toward assessing the old stucco for damage, any necessary repairs before the new siding goes up, and the materials and labor required to install furring strips over the stucco to attach the new material. Even with this additional cost, installing siding over stucco is often more affordable than removing the stucco and starting over.</p></div>
