What are the alternatives to board and batten siding?

• <div><p>Board and batten siding refers to the look and style of the installation rather than the material itself. You can install board and batten siding whether you choose vinyl, wood, fiber cement, or metal as your material. Among other popular siding styles to consider are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-clapboard-siding.htm">clapboard siding</a>, stucco, shake siding, and log cabin siding. Stone, stone veneer, brick, and brick veneer are considered high-end alternatives that can help maximize ROI and curb appeal.</p></div>

Q: How long does vinyl log siding last?

• <div><p>Vinyl log siding is durable, rot-resistant, colorfast, and scratch-resistant, and it can last for an average of around 30 years. Some vinyl siding can last for up to 60 years with proper maintenance. You won&rsquo;t need to repaint or restain this type of siding every several years like you would with wood, so ongoing costs and upkeep will be minimal. Although it&rsquo;s relatively low maintenance, you should still wash your vinyl log siding twice per year. Doing so will increase its longevity, remove any mold, and retain your home&rsquo;s curb appeal.</p></div>

Q: Do you put cedar siding rough or smooth side out?

• <div><p>You should install your cedar shake siding with the rough side exposed. The smooth side is less resistant to weathering over the years, and the rough side gives your home a more rugged aesthetic. The rough side also takes to paint better and ensures any paint job will last longer before needing to be redone.</p></div>

Q: How long will insulated vinyl siding last?

• <div><p>Insulated vinyl siding is very durable and can last for 20 to 40 years. The extra support that the insulation provides helps to make the vinyl siding less susceptible to damages from weather and other minor wear and tear. Vinyl siding on its own may be less durable than other types of siding like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fiber-cement-siding-vs-vinyl-siding.htm">fiber cement</a>, but when coupled with insulation it is stronger than usual.</p></div>

Q: What are common siding issues?

• <div><p>Cracked mortar, loose bricks, water damage, and efflorescence (white powdery deposits) are common problems.</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...
