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’s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. 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.</p></div>

How long is the life span of aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Aluminum is a durable siding material that can last for 30 to 45 years depending on factors like your climate, how well it’s maintained, and the quality of the aluminum. However, the siding’s appearance is likely to deteriorate much faster than its structure, especially if it’s painted, so you should clean it annually and repaint it when it starts to chip to maintain its look. </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>

Andrew and Randy did an excellent job removing leaves from my roof and trimming tree branches impacting the roof. When the renailing of the siding proved difficult because of the way the house was originally constructed, they came up with an innovative and effective solution. I thank them both!
