What are the main alternatives to vinyl log siding?

• <div><p>Though vinyl siding is affordable, the material may not last as long or look as good as other siding materials. For example, wood siding has a beautiful, natural appearance but requires much more maintenance to keep your siding looking as good as new. </p><p>Fiber cement siding is another alternative that mimics the appearance of wood siding. Like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fiber-cement-siding-vs-vinyl-siding.htm">vinyl siding, fiber cement</a> is a low-maintenance material, but it does come at a higher price and is heavier and more difficult to install. Weigh the pros and cons of all siding materials before you decide on the best option for your home.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my siding is damaged?

• <div><p>Look and feel for signs of damage after a hail storm. On vinyl siding, there will likely be cracks or holes. If you have steel or aluminum siding, look for dents and cracked or chipped paint. For wood and fiber cement boards, dents are the most common sign of hail damage.</p></div>

Q: How long does painted aluminum siding last?

• <div><p>A quality paint job on aluminum siding can last five to 10 years, depending on the climate, the paint quality, and how well the surface was prepared before painting. Regular maintenance, like cleaning and occasional touch-ups, can help extend the life of the paint. </p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest house siding?

• <div><p>Vinyl siding requires the cheapest upfront costs. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-vinyl-siding.htm">cost to install vinyl siding</a> is <b>$12,173</b> on average, with vinyl clapboard and vinyl dutch lap costing as low as <b>$2 per square foot</b>. While metal siding is more expensive from the get-go, it can ultimately save you money as its life span is typically over double that of vinyl siding. </p></div>

Q: Is stucco considered siding or cladding?

• <div><p>Stucco is considered a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cladding-types.htm">type of cladding</a> because it includes a built-in ventilation layer, a weatherproof membrane beneath that, and, often, a layer of insulation to improve building efficiency. The multiple layers of stucco&mdash;the scratch coat, the brown coat, and the finish coat&mdash;also create a more complex building membrane, so it&rsquo;s more accurate to call it cladding. However, homeowners and contractors alike refer to stucco as siding.</p></div>

Terrible. 2.5 years later and $55,000 invested and the house is in shambles. No plumbing, no siding, yard and drive full of nails and debris, no call back no answering texts, this business is a disaster. Shane is a theif and a liar. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
