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: Does insulated vinyl siding add R-value?

• <div><p>Yes, insulated vinyl siding increases the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-r-value.htm">R-value</a> of your home. Depending on the quality and brand of the insulated vinyl, you can get an R-value that is up to 5 times greater than traditional vinyl siding. This can be fantastic for homeowners who are trying to lower their utility costs.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if I have siding or cladding?

• <div><p>If you have stucco on the outside of your home, it&rsquo;s technically considered cladding and not siding, but beyond that, it&rsquo;s impossible to tell without a little digging. Without damaging the siding material, expose part of it to see if there&rsquo;s an air gap between the siding and your exterior wall. If there is, you have cladding. If the siding is affixed directly to the exterior wall, you have a simple siding system. </p></div>

Q: Is composite siding better than vinyl?

• <div><p>While vinyl is the less expensive option, composite siding has been known to be more durable than vinyl. In addition, because it is made from recycled materials, it is a more ecologically-friendly choice. Composite siding is also more luxurious looking and comes in a much wider range of styles and colors.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to put siding on a house?

• <div><p>This is a tricky answer because how fast you work, how large your team is, and what type of siding you install will all determine your total time. One person placing bricks around an entire house can take weeks, but a team of 10 could complete the job in just a few days. Installing siding is a job that&rsquo;s best done by a pro, as they are experienced and will perform solid work. A rough guideline for DIYers is to budget 15 minutes per square foot of siding.</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...
