Q: What type of siding lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Brick and stone siding last the longest, sometimes providing protection and curb appeal for 100 years or more. These siding materials also cost more than any other, but the value you get for the money is also superior. Fiber cement siding is an excellent middle ground that&rsquo;s more affordable than stone and brick. It&rsquo;s a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/low-maintenance-siding.htm">low-maintenance siding material</a> that can still last for 50 years or longer with good maintenance.</p></div>

Q: How much does siding replacement cost?

• <div><p>The<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-siding-cost-replace.htm"> cost to replace siding</a> for your home is <b>$11,450</b> on average. But siding replacement can cost up to <b>$40,000 </b>or more, with the largest expense being your chosen material. For example, for a 2,000 square feet house, the average cost of siding materials such as vinyl is between <b>$9,000 and $14,000</b>. Wood siding is a little more expensive, ranging from <b>$16,000 to $26,000</b>. However, for the same size house using brick or stone, that cost jumps to <b>$18,000 to $100,000</b>. When choosing to replace your home&rsquo;s siding, it&rsquo;s essential to consider your climate and longevity. </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>

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.
