What are the alternatives to board and batten siding?

• <div><p>Board and batten siding refers to the look and style of the installation rather than the material itself. You can install board and batten siding whether you choose vinyl, wood, fiber cement, or metal as your material. Among other popular siding styles to consider are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-clapboard-siding.htm">clapboard siding</a>, stucco, shake siding, and log cabin siding. Stone, stone veneer, brick, and brick veneer are considered high-end alternatives that can help maximize ROI and curb appeal.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when choosing siding replacement options?

• <div><p>You should consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-different-house-siding.htm">siding replacement material</a> that meets your expectations for budget, durability, and if you want to complete the siding project yourself. Some materials are better than others in certain climates and easier to install for beginners. If you&rsquo;re unsure which material suits your home, check with a local contractor for guidance.</p></div>

Q: Is Hardie board cheaper than vinyl siding?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fiber-cement-siding-vs-vinyl-siding.htm">Hardie board is more expensive than vinyl siding</a>. Vinyl siding costs $3 to $12 per square foot, on average, with cost skewing toward the lower end of that range. Hardie board siding costs $7 to $18 per square foot, depending on the style, color, and trim. However, it lasts twice as long and often looks nicer, meaning you&rsquo;ll see a higher bump in your home value and greater curb appeal from Hardie board.</p></div>

Q: Can I mix vertical and horizontal siding?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-mix-and-match-your-homes-siding.htm">mix siding types</a> to create a unique design. However, it requires thoughtful planning to execute properly. The installation process will also be more time-consuming than if you were to choose either vertical or horizontal for the entire home, so it will cost you more in labor and design costs. </p></div>

Q: Why do some houses have soffits and others don’t?

• <div><p>Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don&rsquo;t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money. </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.

In my experience they did a less than stellar job. They barely know what they are doing when it comes to replacing wood siding. There are half inch gaps where the siding meets the trim. We had them do some work from the interior of the house and there's a number of places where the wood floors...
