Get matched with top siding pros in Chenoa, IL

Q: 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&rsquo;s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion&mdash;local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority. </p></div>

Q: Should you caulk clapboard siding?

• <div><p>Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it&rsquo;s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.</p></div>

Q: How long will siding repair or replacement take?

• <div><p>Typically 1-2 days, depending on damage extent and panel availability.</p></div>

Q: How do siding contractors determine price?

• <div><p>Siding pros typically charge by the square foot when providing estimates for siding projects. They&rsquo;ll take the material cost and add in an estimated labor fee, and some contractors will include an additional upcharge to account for profit, waste, and unexpected issues. Another important price factor your pro will consider is the quality of your home&rsquo;s current siding, which they&rsquo;ll need to remove, and your home&rsquo;s sheathing. If pros have to make any additional repairs to your home&rsquo;s exterior, the added labor will also influence your final siding cost.</p></div>

Q: Why do some houses have soffits and others don’t?

• <div><p>Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don&rsquo;t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money. </p></div>
