Q: What is the life expectancy of concrete log siding?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding can last several decades, from 30 to 50 years or more, as long as you keep up with proper maintenance. Luckily, concrete log siding is much lower maintenance than typical <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-siding.htm">types of wood siding</a>, so you&rsquo;ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you&rsquo;ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.</p></div>

Q: What do you put underneath clapboard siding?

• <div><p>You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.</p><p>Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it&rsquo;s installed for additional protection. We don&rsquo;t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to &ldquo;breathe,&rdquo; especially in rainy weather.</p></div>

Q: What is the life span of composite siding?

• <div><p>Composite siding, with proper care, can last 30 years and sometimes more. Because its color has a tendency to fade, you might want to re-paint it every five years or so. Before purchasing composite siding, check the manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty&mdash;you should have a long-term warranty to back up the quality of the product.</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 vinyl siding a good value over time?

• <div><p>Yes, after the initial expense to purchase and install it, vinyl siding offers a good value over time because it requires very little maintenance and lasts a long time. In terms of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-vinyl-siding-lasts.htm">how long vinyl siding lasts</a>, you can expect at least 20 years and up to 60 years of performance. </p></div>

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."
