What happens if you don’t wrap a house before installing siding?

• <div><p>Not wrapping a house before installing siding can lead to moisture intrusion, rot, mold, and even higher energy bills. Older houses may have siding installed without wrap underneath, so it’s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion—local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority. </p></div>

Q: Can you put new wood siding over old wood siding?

• <div><p>There are several highly durable types of siding that you can build right on top of without removing it, with wood being one of them, provided it's in excellent condition. However, a common reason for siding replacement is to eliminate materials that are in poor condition, making installing new wood siding over old not recommended. Additionally, the cost of adding siding over existing siding can increase costs to between $7 and $13 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Why don’t people use aluminum siding anymore?

• <div><p>Contrary to popular belief, people still do use aluminum siding for their homes&mdash;but it&rsquo;s much less popular than it was in the mid-1900s. The introduction of various <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-vinyl-siding.htm">types of vinyl siding</a> as an affordable option reduced the demand for aluminum, which is prone to scratching and denting and needs to be repainted every five to 10 years. Given the abundance of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/siding-experts-discuss-best-types-and-cost.htm">house siding options</a>, especially newer and more popular types like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-stone-veneer.htm">stone veneer siding</a>, aluminum siding has simply just fallen out of favor.</p></div>

Q: Can I install siding myself?

• <div><p>If you have significant home construction experience under your belt, you can install siding yourself. However, most homeowners don&rsquo;t have the skills and expertise required to properly install siding, particularly vertical siding which requires more labor and materials than horizontal siding. So in most cases, it&rsquo;s best to hire a pro for this job. </p></div>

Q: Does siding boost the value of my home?

• <div><p>Updating the siding on your home can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">potentially increase its value</a>. Of course, the type of siding you pick determines the return on investment you can earn. For instance, stone veneer siding has a 153% ROI, while more affordable options such as vinyl have an 80% ROI. It&rsquo;s best to research which type will boost the value of your home the most if that is your ultimate goal. </p></div>

We hired Tom and his crew to repair/replace an old wood deck attached to our barn, replace siding and a sliding glass door. He worked fast, was knowledgeable, and did quality work. He came out promptly to give an estimate. The only downside was that he wasn't able to start the job as quickly...
