Q: What are the alternatives to a stucco house?

• <div><p>Many people looking for an alternative to stucco consider fiber cement, stone veneer, brick, stone, and vinyl. Wood is another potentially affordable option, but it requires more maintenance than stucco, so most homeowners who like the look and minimal siding maintenance of stucco opt for brick or stone. There are many different siding options, so you&rsquo;ll need to weigh your priorities in terms of budget, aesthetics, insulation, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: How often should I seal clapboard siding?

• <div><p>Wood clapboard siding needs frequent sealing to keep it in top condition&mdash;likely every two to three years. A sealant helps protect it from both moisture and sunlight damage. Your weather and climate will affect how often you need to seal the siding, but the pros recommend sealing it every couple of years. More durable woods in milder climates may not need to be sealed quite as often.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for vinyl siding?

• <div><p>Little maintenance is required beyond periodic washing with a garden hose to remove dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pressure washers that might damage the siding.</p></div>

He originally quotes me at $950 for a 11X13 slab. Our backyard has a slope so I expected they would dig it out or lay dirt. He said the best way would be to pour it thicker on one side to level it out (this ended up drastically increasing the cost). Because of the regulations on the shed we were...
