Q: Why don’t people use aluminum siding anymore?

• <div><p>Contrary to popular belief, people still do use aluminum siding for their homes&mdash;but it&rsquo;s much less popular than it was in the mid-1900s. The introduction of various <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-vinyl-siding.htm">types of vinyl siding</a> as an affordable option reduced the demand for aluminum, which is prone to scratching and denting and needs to be repainted every five to 10 years. Given the abundance of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/siding-experts-discuss-best-types-and-cost.htm">house siding options</a>, especially newer and more popular types like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-stone-veneer.htm">stone veneer siding</a>, aluminum siding has simply just fallen out of favor.</p></div>

Q: How do I calculate how much vinyl log siding to purchase?

• <div><p>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.</p><ul><li><p>For the rectangular walls, the calculation is: length x height</p></li><li><p>For the triangular gable walls, the calculation is: (length x height) / 2</p></li></ul><p>Once you add these up, include an additional 10% to account for any wastage.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a nail gun on clapboard siding?

• <div><p>You should use a siding nail gun for siding installation, but if you don&rsquo;t have one you can use a framing nailer instead, if the nails are long enough to firmly attach to the clapboard siding. However, framing requires longer nails that join lumber together. In that instance, siding nails will not be enough.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best cleaner to use on wood siding?

• <div><p>Avoid toxic chemicals that can leach into nearby lawns, as well as household ingredients like vinegar that can ruin paint and sealants. Instead, look for a very light detergent or a dedicated exterior siding cleaner. In a pinch, you can use a basic dish or laundry soap, but we suggest sticking with a dedicated cleaner.</p><p>If your siding is struggling with algae or moss, which indicates moisture issues, look for an outdoor cleaner that&rsquo;s specifically designed to clear moss and algae stains. This is also a sign that you need to seal your clapboard against further problems.</p></div>

Q: How do siding contractors determine price?

• <div><p>Siding pros typically charge by the square foot when providing estimates for siding projects. They&rsquo;ll take the material cost and add in an estimated labor fee, and some contractors will include an additional upcharge to account for profit, waste, and unexpected issues. Another important price factor your pro will consider is the quality of your home&rsquo;s current siding, which they&rsquo;ll need to remove, and your home&rsquo;s sheathing. If pros have to make any additional repairs to your home&rsquo;s exterior, the added labor will also influence your final siding cost.</p></div>

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."
