Beadboard is not outdated and can be seen in many homes throughout the country. It is a classic design element that, while seen more commonly in cottage-style homes, is a relatively inexpensive way to add an immense amount of character to a room. If you have popcorn ceilings or flat drywall, consider either adding a full beadboard ceiling or installing coffered framing over your existing ceiling texture.

If you’re trying to cover up damaged vinyl siding with some other material, properly repairing the damage is likely just as easy. Avoid covering up damaged siding under most circumstances. Water and mold can easily get trapped behind it and cause more harm than the damage already there. 

If you need a fast, temporary repair until you have time to fix the damage properly, use a generous amount of caulk or spray foam insulation to fill the gap, knowing that you’ll need to remove the material later. 

Bleach can be an option if you want to kill mold and mildew clinging to your siding. However, you must water bleach down to the right concentration of a 1/2 cup of bleach per gallon of water to avoid damaging your siding. Bleach can also harm plants in your yard and isn’t safe to use near pets, so employ it with caution.

Local pressure washing services often offer non-bleach options that can powerfully remove mold and mildew.

The average cost to install vinyl siding is about $12,200, with a typical price range of $6,400 to $18,300. The total project cost can be as low as $1,500 or exceed $30,000 depending on factors like home size and local labor rates.

The cost includes materials, which range from $3 to $12 per square foot, and labor, which ranges from $2 to $5 per square foot. Costs also vary by the type of vinyl siding:

• Clapboard or Dutch lap: $2–$7 per square foot

• Vertical: $5.50 per square foot

• Scallop: $5–$10 per square foot

You can save on labor costs by installing it yourself, but this requires expertise and specialized tools like cutting tools, ladders, and scaffolding.
