Q: Should you caulk between siding boards?

• <div><p>Professional installers typically recommend caulking between siding boards, but it depends on the material. With <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardie-board-vs-cement-board.htm">Hardie board and fiber cement siding</a>, manufacturers don't recommend adding caulk because it can trap moisture in the joints or discourage flexibility in fluctuating temperatures. Consult your local siding contractor about caulking best practices before adding any to your home&rsquo;s exterior.</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>

Q: How much do different types of siding cost?

• <div><p>Different types of siding provide unique aesthetic and structural features, with each material commanding its own cost. Availability of materials and shipping costs also factors largely into the cost. The common types of siding materials include:</p><ul><li><p>Stucco: $7&ndash;$9 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Wood: $1&ndash;$15 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Engineered wood: $1&ndash;$6 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Aluminum: $3&ndash;$6 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Fiber cement: $5&ndash;$14 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick: $10&ndash;$20 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick veneer: $3&ndash;$10 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Stone: $7&ndash;$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Stone veneer: $5&ndash;$11 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What do you put behind wood siding?

• <div><p>Wood siding requires that air can circulate behind it and that water can drain away if necessary. Your home needs a water-restrictive barrier underneath furring strips to achieve the air and water gap.</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>

Brady is the best you'll ever find for home remodeling projects.
Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.

The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014. We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home. But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.
