Does concrete log siding offer any cost savings compared to wood logs?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding offers some cost savings when compared to wood logs. Real wood logs require ongoing maintenance that can total up to $750 annually, while concrete log siding doesn’t require annual maintenance. Since concrete log siding exceeds the requirements of most building codes, it can also lower insurance premiums and boost resale value.</p></div>

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’s exterior.</p></div>

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–$9 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Wood: $1–$15 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Engineered wood: $1–$6 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Aluminum: $3–$6 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Fiber cement: $5–$14 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick: $10–$20 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick veneer: $3–$10 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Stone: $7–$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Stone veneer: $5–$11 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest house siding?

• <div><p>Vinyl siding requires the cheapest upfront costs. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-vinyl-siding.htm">cost to install vinyl siding</a> is <b>$12,173</b> on average, with vinyl clapboard and vinyl dutch lap costing as low as <b>$2 per square foot</b>. While metal siding is more expensive from the get-go, it can ultimately save you money as its life span is typically over double that of vinyl siding. </p></div>

Q: Is clapboard the same as wood siding?

• <div><p>Clapboard siding is traditionally made of wood, and is one of the most common types of wood siding in North America. When people talk about wood siding, they are usually talking about clapboard siding. However, not all wood siding is in the clapboard style: It can be tongue-and-groove, shake, and other designs. Also, clapboard siding can sometimes be made of different materials, like vinyl or fiber cement, so the terms are not interchangeable. </p></div>

He's very professional to deal with and can do any kind of painting I can think of. We were more than satisfied with what he did to the interior of our house. If we had wooden siding instead of vinyl, I'd have hired him to paint that as well. Any paint projects come up in the future...

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!

"Very happy with the work Garcia did on my roof. It looks great. The crew that did the work was very professional and cleaned up while they did the job. Once they were done, I couldn't tell that anyone was in my yard. Extremely happy."
