How long is the life span of aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Aluminum is a durable siding material that can last for 30 to 45 years depending on factors like your climate, how well it’s maintained, and the quality of the aluminum. However, the siding’s appearance is likely to deteriorate much faster than its structure, especially if it’s painted, so you should clean it annually and repaint it when it starts to chip to maintain its look. </p></div>

Q: Can you put new siding over clapboards?

• <div><p>You can put new siding over clapboards, but it&rsquo;s not recommended. Some sidings, like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/vinyl-siding-guide.htm">vinyl siding</a>, can go over clapboards with sheathing like a foam layer in between. However, it&rsquo;s best to remove clapboard siding if you plan on replacing it with new siding. Burying wood clapboards underneath new siding can create risks of rot and mold, or hidden insect damage. It can also create warping issues over time. Removing clapboards allows you to properly install a new sheathing, as well as clean up the exterior wall and look for any signs of damage.</p></div>

Q: How many years can I expect wood siding to last?

• <div><p>Wood siding lasts anywhere from 20 to 40 years on average. This can vary greatly depending on the type of wood, weather conditions, and how well you maintain your siding. For instance, hot, wet climates may shorten the life span of wood by exposing it to UV rays, mold, and pests. Staying on top of painting, staining, and repairing your wood siding can add years to its life span by protecting it from the elements.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It&rsquo;s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to side a house?

• <div><p>The cheapest and most inexpensive way to side a house is to use vinyl. Vinyl is very low-cost but may not last as long as natural materials or metal. However, it often lasts the same length of time the owners plan on living in the home (about 20 to 40 years). Certain types of vinyl siding, like vinyl shake, can be as low as $3 per square foot, but ask a siding pro if the lowest-cost option is the best material for your particular home. </p></div>
