Q: What’s under aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Many people remove aluminum siding to get to the wood underneath, allowing them to paint, stain, or finish the wood to give the home a brand-new aesthetic. With that in mind, you find plywood and related types of wood underneath aluminum siding, but you also run into fiber cement board, strand board, and a diverse array of other building materials. It depends on the original design of the house. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a nail gun on clapboard siding?

• <div><p>You should use a siding nail gun for siding installation, but if you don&rsquo;t have one you can use a framing nailer instead, if the nails are long enough to firmly attach to the clapboard siding. However, framing requires longer nails that join lumber together. In that instance, siding nails will not be enough.</p></div>

Q: How long does cedar siding last?

• <div><p>Similar to other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-siding.htm">types of wood siding</a> consisting of natural materials, cedar siding should last <b>20 to 40 years</b>. However, the lifespan for any wood siding, including cedar, can be far shorter without the proper repair and maintenance work. Don&rsquo;t put off making repairs, or problems could worsen quickly. While you can repair minor holes and cracks in the siding shakes, rot and warping requires replacing the boards. </p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to side a house?

• <div><p>The cheapest and most inexpensive way to side a house is to use vinyl. Vinyl is very low-cost but may not last as long as natural materials or metal. However, it often lasts the same length of time the owners plan on living in the home (about 20 to 40 years). Certain types of vinyl siding, like vinyl shake, can be as low as $3 per square foot, but ask a siding pro if the lowest-cost option is the best material for your particular home. </p></div>

Q: How often should I refinish cedar sidings?

• <div><p>You should restain or repaint cedar siding every four to six years, depending on weather conditions and the starting quality of the wood. If you want a lower maintenance option, opt for vinyl or aluminum siding. Although the cost to install more resilient siding can be slightly more expensive, they don&rsquo;t need as much maintenance and can provide more value over time, especially in areas that see excessive rainfall or high humidity.</p></div>
