What do you put underneath clapboard siding?

• <div><p>You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.</p><p>Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.</p></div>

How can you clean painted aluminum siding?

• <div><p>To clean painted aluminum siding, use a mixture of mild detergent and water applied with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose to remove soap residue. For stubborn stains, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-aluminum-siding.htm">cleaning aluminum siding</a> with a power washer on a low-pressure setting can be effective. But avoid using high pressure, which could damage the paint. </p></div>

Does concrete log siding offer any cost savings compared to wood logs?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding offers some cost savings when compared to wood logs. Real wood logs require ongoing maintenance that can total up to $750 annually, while concrete log siding doesn’t require annual maintenance. Since concrete log siding exceeds the requirements of most building codes, it can also lower insurance premiums and boost resale value.</p></div>

What siding has the least maintenance?

• <div><p>Fiber cement siding is one of the lowest-maintenance options. The material’s formula is resistant to insect activities, moisture, and most physical impacts. Vinyl and aluminium siding is also fairly easy to upkeep. All these <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/low-maintenance-siding.htm">low-maintenance options</a> only require basic surface cleaning, caulking, and regular gutter maintenance to prevent water dams from forming. </p></div>

Q: Can I install siding myself?

• <div><p>If you have significant home construction experience under your belt, you can install siding yourself. However, most homeowners don&rsquo;t have the skills and expertise required to properly install siding, particularly vertical siding which requires more labor and materials than horizontal siding. So in most cases, it&rsquo;s best to hire a pro for this job. </p></div>
