How long does vertical siding last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of vertical siding depends on the type of material used and whether it’s properly maintained. For instance, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-vinyl-siding.htm">vinyl siding</a> can last between <b>20 and 30 years</b>, while fiber cement siding can last up to <b>50 years</b>. Remember that the type you choose will depend on how much maintenance it will require to prolong its longevity. </p></div>

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>

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: Is vertical siding trendy?

• <div><p>Although <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/horizontal-vs-vertical-siding.htm">horizontal siding</a> is found on more homes and deemed more popular, vertical siding is gaining popularity and becoming more trendy. Its ability to make homes appear taller and modern design is making it a favorite among homeowners. Plus, the vast style options available make it suitable for various architecture types. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose siding combinations that look good together?

• <div><p>Choosing siding combinations that look good together comes down to finding textures and colors that complement each other. You want some contrast so that your home doesn&rsquo;t look boring or too uniform, but you also want the materials to play off of each other so that each makes the other stand out. It&rsquo;s a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hire-siding-contractor.htm">hire a siding professional</a> to create 3D renderings for you so you can get a sense of what your home will look and feel like before you get started. </p></div>

Great. The ant issue was resolved immediately. Why did I wait so long? What I liked about the truck was the company name was only on the license plate. I prefer not to have a big truck with a rat painted on its' side parked in the driveway of my home:)
