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>

How do I maintain brick siding?

• <div><p>You should inspect your brick siding at least once per year for any potential problems, like cracks in the mortar and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-spalling.htm">signs of spalling</a>. It’s also a good idea to clean your brick siding annually using a hose, mild detergent, and a soft brush to remove dirt, mildew, and moss.</p></div>

Is insulated vinyl siding expensive?

• <div><p>Insulated vinyl siding costs about twice as much as the cheapest form of vinyl siding, but it’s still more affordable than other types of siding, including fiber cement, wood, stone, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-brick-veneer-cost.htm">brick</a>. You get a lot of bang for your buck with vinyl siding; it’s durable, it’s available in a wide range of styles and colors, and it helps lower your energy bills.</p></div>

Q: How long will siding repair or replacement take?

• <div><p>Typically 1-2 days, depending on damage extent and panel availability.</p></div>

Q: What kind of primer should I use for painting aluminum siding?

• <div><p>A self-etching primer is the best option for aluminum siding. These are specifically designed to bond with bare metals, among other surfaces, leading to better adhesion and corrosion resistance. An oil-based primer is a good alternative if you can&rsquo;t find a self-etching primer.</p></div>
