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: 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: Does composite siding warp?

• <div><p>Composite siding is very resistant to warping that can affect some other sidings. Because of its composition, this siding doesn&rsquo;t have the same risks of moisture damage that can cause rotting, buckling, and warping. Composite material doesn&rsquo;t warp in high temperatures the way some kinds of vinyl siding can.</p><p>That said, composite siding is not entirely immune from moisture damage. It should still be properly installed so that moisture can properly drain from behind the siding, and protected by eaves and clean gutter so the siding doesn&rsquo;t get repeatedly soaked by rain, which could lead to damage.</p></div>

Q: How should I clean fiber cement siding?

• <div><p>You may only need to repaint fiber cement siding every decade or so, but you should clean it every six to 12 months, depending on your local climate. First, wash with a garden hose or similar low-pressure device (not a high-pressure washer, which can damage the material) to remove dirt and any large debris. Then, gently wipe down the surface with a soft brush or cloth in a side-to-side motion, following the grain of the fiber cement.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best cleaner to use on wood siding?

• <div><p>Avoid toxic chemicals that can leach into nearby lawns, as well as household ingredients like vinegar that can ruin paint and sealants. Instead, look for a very light detergent or a dedicated exterior siding cleaner. In a pinch, you can use a basic dish or laundry soap, but we suggest sticking with a dedicated cleaner.</p><p>If your siding is struggling with algae or moss, which indicates moisture issues, look for an outdoor cleaner that&rsquo;s specifically designed to clear moss and algae stains.

Atlantic Siding began when they said. The job was very extensive and labor intensive as there was a considerable amount of replacement wood involved. They were very professional and always available for questions we had. They let us know about major problems and how they would be handled and whether we approved or not.

The job was completed quickly and the final result was absolutely wonderful. We would definitely recommend Atlantic Siding to others.

"We recently purchased windows from Home Pro Windows Siding &amp; Doors, LLC, we love the windows. I feel as though they are really well made, durable windows. There were some issues with the installation, bad weather, miscommunication and time consuming. it took 5 days to complete the job, that is not including the original installation date which had to be pushed back due to miscommunication. It seems as though installation would have been faster if there was a team of people instead of just one person. But the installer was great. Very friendly and also concerned with our home, not to get dirt all over our carpets. Everyone we worked with were great! I would definitely recommend these windows."

There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings.

Without these strategic gaps, your home’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—all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.

If you see hail that’s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.

Composite siding is very resistant to warping that can affect some other sidings. Because of its composition, this siding doesn’t have the same risks of moisture damage that can cause rotting, buckling, and warping. Composite material doesn’t warp in high temperatures the way some kinds of vinyl siding can.

If your siding is struggling with algae or moss, which indicates moisture issues, look for an outdoor cleaner that’s specifically designed to clear moss and algae stains. This is also a sign that you need to seal your clapboard against further problems.
