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 happens if water gets behind siding?

• <div><p>When moisture infiltrates your siding, it can result in deterioration and decay of the sheathing, cause structural damage to your foundation, and provides an ideal breeding ground for mold. Mold growth can lead to various health-related problems, such as itchy eyes, sneezing, allergies, and asthma. Mold and dampness commonly attract a wide range of insects, so if your siding has taken any kind of water damage, it could invite some unwelcome guests.</p></div>

Q: What is the minimum lifespan of siding?

• <div><p>Siding lasts for between 20 and 40 years, at a minimum, but the lifespan you&rsquo;ll see from your new siding depends on the type. Vinyl and aluminum siding have average lifespans of 20 to 40 years, while wood and real stone siding can last up to 75 years. Steel and fiber cement siding can last even longer and often have a minimum lifespan of 50 years. The climate and weather in your area play important roles in siding lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Is vertical siding trendy?

• <div><p>Although <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/horizontal-vs-vertical-siding.htm">horizontal siding</a> is found on more homes and deemed more popular, vertical siding is gaining popularity and becoming more trendy. Its ability to make homes appear taller and modern design is making it a favorite among homeowners. Plus, the vast style options available make it suitable for various architecture types. </p></div>

Q: How long does painted aluminum siding last?

• <div><p>A quality paint job on aluminum siding can last five to 10 years, depending on the climate, the paint quality, and how well the surface was prepared before painting. Regular maintenance, like cleaning and occasional touch-ups, can help extend the life of the paint. </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...
