Is it OK to put siding over stucco?

• <div><p>It’s possible to install vinyl siding over stucco, and if the stucco is in decent condition, it’s unlikely you’ll run into any issues. However, if you see water damage or mold growth on your stucco, or you have ongoing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/eifs-stucco-problems.htm">problems with your EIFS siding</a>, including leaks, it’s best to remove the stucco first. This will reduce the risk of mold growth and pest infestation, allowing your pro to access and replace any damaged sheathing.</p></div>

Q: How should I clean fiber cement siding?

• <div><p>You may only need to repaint fiber cement siding every decade or so, but you should clean it every six to 12 months, depending on your local climate. First, wash with a garden hose or similar low-pressure device (not a high-pressure washer, which can damage the material) to remove dirt and any large debris. Then, gently wipe down the surface with a soft brush or cloth in a side-to-side motion, following the grain of the fiber cement.</p></div>

Q: What is fiber cement shingle siding made from?

• <div><p>Fiber cement shingle siding is made from a blend of common ingredients, including cement, sand, water, and wood or cellulose fibers. The composition of the mixture varies depending on the manufacturer, however, with some makers opting to include special additives to improve longevity and resilience, and some include dyes and pigments to create custom colors that don&rsquo;t require painting. </p></div>

Q: What is the most popular type of shingle siding?

• <div><p>Vinyl is the most common shingle siding due to its rigid PVC design, longevity, affordability, and ease of installation. The next most popular types of shingle siding are fiber cement, which is in the mid-range for prices, and cedar shake, which is the most expensive. Consider the upfront cost, ongoing maintenance costs, and durability in your specific climate before deciding.</p></div>

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>

The guy is excellent! What they had on in the beginning was a flexible plastic horse, which didn't hold up. Instead of using this regular flexible pipe, we used the pv pipe and ran it around the top, then out the side and into the regular line. It became that much better. He was open to...
