How long does vertical siding last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of vertical siding depends on the type of material used and whether it’s properly maintained. For instance, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-vinyl-siding.htm">vinyl siding</a> can last between <b>20 and 30 years</b>, while fiber cement siding can last up to <b>50 years</b>. Remember that the type you choose will depend on how much maintenance it will require to prolong its longevity. </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: Can you put new siding over clapboards?

• <div><p>You can put new siding over clapboards, but it&rsquo;s not recommended. Some sidings, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/vinyl-siding-guide.htm">vinyl siding</a>, can go over clapboards with sheathing like a foam layer in between. However, it&rsquo;s best to remove clapboard siding if you plan on replacing it with new siding. Burying wood clapboards underneath new siding can create risks of rot and mold, or hidden insect damage. It can also create warping issues over time. Removing clapboards allows you to properly install a new sheathing, as well as clean up the exterior wall and look for any signs of damage.</p></div>

Q: Should you caulk clapboard siding?

• <div><p>Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it&rsquo;s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.</p></div>

Q: Can I install metal siding myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures weatherproofing, insulation, and proper fastening.</p></div>

Dave was great! Brought all of his own equipment and just needed my spigot. I have a small house and garage, both with vinyl siding and stairs with railings. He pressure washed every square inch and it's now glowing! I plan to hire Dave at least every other year to spiff up my house.
