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>

Siding questions, answered by experts

To calculate how much siding you need for exterior walls, first measure the height and width of the rectangular walls. For the triangular gable walls, measure the width and then the height from the ground to the tallest gable point.

For the rectangular walls, the calculation is: length x height
For the triangular gable walls, the calculation is: (length x height) / 2

Once you add these up, include an additional 10% to account for any wastage.

Fiber cement siding will last an average of 50 years, but you could get up to 70 years of useful life out of yours with proper maintenance. All types of siding, including fiber cement, will have shorter lifespans in extreme climates, as salt, impact from blown debris, heavy rain, and intense sunshine can all limit siding lifespan.

Professional installers typically recommend caulking between siding boards, but it depends on the material. With Hardie board and fiber cement siding, 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.

The required PSI (pounds per square inch) to clean vinyl siding can vary depending on the manufacturer's recommendations and the condition of the siding. It's crucial to consult the specific guidelines provided by the vinyl siding manufacturer to determine if it is safe to use a pressure washer. In general, for routine cleaning of general dirt and grime, a garden hose with a spray nozzle attachment should be sufficient. However, always exercise caution and avoid using excessive pressure that could potentially damage the vinyl siding or compromise its protective coatings.

The average cost to replace siding is $10,500, but you should expect to pay an average of $12,000 to install new siding over stucco. The additional cost goes toward assessing the old stucco for damage, any necessary repairs before the new siding goes up, and the materials and labor required to install furring strips over the stucco to attach the new material. Even with this additional cost, installing siding over stucco is often more affordable than removing the stucco and starting over.
