Q: How big does hail have to be to damage siding?

• <div><p>Hail as small as 3/4 inch (about the size of a penny) can cause damage to your siding. When hail reaches 1 inch in size, you can expect to see more cracks, chips, and holes, and hail that&rsquo;s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. If you see hail that&rsquo;s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain T1-11 siding?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-wood-siding-last-longer.htm">how to make wood siding last longer</a>, including Composite T1-11, inspect it annually or quarterly to spot and repair cracks, holes, or chipped areas. You&rsquo;ll also want to re-stain the wood every <b>3 to 5 years </b>or repaint every <b>7 to 10 years</b> for protection (note that repainting requires stripping and sanding off old paint as well). Lastly, keep up with regular cleanings using a garden hose or low-pressure power washer to help prevent grime and discoloration. </p></div>

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: How can you clean painted aluminum siding?

• <div><p>To clean painted aluminum siding, use a mixture of mild detergent and water applied with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose to remove soap residue. For stubborn stains, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-aluminum-siding.htm">cleaning aluminum siding</a> with a power washer on a low-pressure setting can be effective. But avoid using high pressure, which could damage the paint. </p></div>

Q: How do I remove mildew from wood siding?

• <div><p>Mildew grows into porous wood, making it more difficult to remove than regular dirt (and more destructive). We suggest using a dedicated mildew and mold fungicide to remove mildew, which is found in any local home improvement store. Apply a dose of the fungicide to the siding and leave to work according to the instructions, usually for an hour or two. Then wash it thoroughly away and scrub the spot again. Repeat the process if necessary. If nothing is removing the mildew stains, you should plan on removing those clapboard planks in time, as their damage could cause future problems.</p></div>

We had our roof, siding, and a few windows done and they did a great job. Any small or larger thing we needed done or changed, they made sure to fix or accommodate. They were great to work with. Would definitely recommend them.

I am a jack of trades independent contractor/ handyman with 10+ years experience. I am not a licensed plumber, licensed electrician, or licensed roofer. With that said it's easier to just tell you the things that I don't do. I do not do drain work, I do not replace electrical lines or panel boxes, I do not replace plumbing lines which includes water and gas, and I do not replace roofs. Aside from that I can do everything else, and have the tools to do so.
