How do you know when siding needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>Signs that you need to replace your siding include siding that’s warping, bubbling, or cracking; signs of rot or mold growth; fading, peeling, or chipped siding or paint; or siding that’s separating from the exterior of your house. Failing to replace your siding when it’s damaged can lead to moisture problems or structural damage, so promptly repair or replace siding as soon as you notice any of these signs. </p></div>

What do you put underneath clapboard siding?

• <div><p>You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.</p><p>Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.</p></div>

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: Is concrete log siding the same thing as fiber cement siding?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding is not the same as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fiber-cement-siding.htm">fiber cement siding</a>. Fiber cement siding is made from a mixture of cement and cellulose fibers, while GFRC is made from cement, glass fibers, and polymers. The materials are similar in their durability, longevity, and curb appeal, and the main difference is that concrete log siding is available in more styles that resemble traditional log siding. Fiber cement is also less expensive, with materials costing around half what you&rsquo;d pay for concrete log siding.</p></div>

Q: Can siding orientation affect a home’s resale value?

• <div><p>Yes, siding orientation can affect a home&rsquo;s resale value, but in what way and by how much really depends on the prospective buyer. For instance, some buyers prefer the more modern appearance that vertical siding offers, so having it can increase your home&rsquo;s value in their eyes. However, other buyers prefer the classic, more common appearance of horizontal siding, so having vertical siding can decrease your home&rsquo;s value in their eyes. </p></div>
