Q: How do I calculate how much vinyl log siding to purchase?

Q: Can I mix vertical and horizontal siding?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-mix-and-match-your-homes-siding.htm">mix siding types</a> to create a unique design. However, it requires thoughtful planning to execute properly. The installation process will also be more time-consuming than if you were to choose either vertical or horizontal for the entire home, so it will cost you more in labor and design costs. </p></div>

Q: Should there be a gap between the roof and the wall?

• <div><p>There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home&rsquo;s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap&mdash;all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover EIFS siding?

• <div><p>Whether or not your homeowners insurance covers EIFS stucco siding depends on the insurance company and the specifics of the policy. Some insurance companies will not cover EIFS due to its susceptibility to moisture damage, and some companies will only cover EIFS manufactured and installed after a certain date, since newer systems mitigate potential damage concerns better than older ones.</p></div>

Q: How often should I seal clapboard siding?

• <div><p>Wood clapboard siding needs frequent sealing to keep it in top condition&mdash;likely every two to three years. A sealant helps protect it from both moisture and sunlight damage. Your weather and climate will affect how often you need to seal the siding, but the pros recommend sealing it every couple of years. More durable woods in milder climates may not need to be sealed quite as often.</p></div>
