Q: What siding holds up best against hail?

• <div><p>The best types of siding to withstand hail are fiber cement siding and engineered wood siding. Fiber cement siding is known for impact resistance, while some brands of engineered wood siding can withstand hail as big as 1 and 3/4 inches with no marks. Vinyl and aluminum siding are the most susceptible to hail.</p></div>

Q: How do I estimate how much siding I need?

• <div><p>You can calculate the required square footage of siding you need by measuring the height and width of your home&rsquo;s rectangular exterior walls. For the triangular-shaped gable walls, measure the height from the ground to the tallest gable point to make sure you have enough for good coverage. Once you have combined the totals for each wall, add another 10% to account for wasted materials. It&rsquo;s also good to have extra siding on hand to tackle <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-siding-repair.htm">wood siding repair</a> down the road.</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: Is vertical siding trendy?

• <div><p>Although <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/horizontal-vs-vertical-siding.htm">horizontal siding</a> is found on more homes and deemed more popular, vertical siding is gaining popularity and becoming more trendy. Its ability to make homes appear taller and modern design is making it a favorite among homeowners. Plus, the vast style options available make it suitable for various architecture types. </p></div>
