What are some popular alternatives to stone siding?

• <div><p>As stunning and natural as stone siding is, it's not for everyone. Some popular siding alternatives to stone siding include:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-aluminum-siding.htm">Aluminum siding</a></p></li><li><p>Brick veneer siding</p></li><li><p>Engineered wood siding</p></li><li><p>Fiber cement siding</p></li><li><p>Wood siding</p></li><li><p>Vinyl siding</p></li></ul><p>If you want the look of natural stone siding without the high material and installation costs, vinyl siding may be one of the best alternatives. It’s lightweight, low-cost, and low maintenance but does have a lower life span than natural stone.</p></div>

Q: How long does siding last?

• <div><p>On average, siding lasts between 20 and 40 years. Most of the common materials used in siding&mdash;vinyl and wood siding&mdash;can last around 30 years if taken care of. Upscale options like stone, brick, and aluminum can last up to 100 years or more but will cost much more to purchase and aren&rsquo;t as simple to install. </p></div>

Q: What color vinyl siding fades the most?

• <div><p>While any dark color of vinyl is likely to fade, dark red and dark brown vinyl tend to fade faster and more noticeably compared with other dark colors. White is the color least likely to fade, but it will show stains, mildew, and dirt more prominently than darker colors.</p></div>

Q: Can you put new wood siding over old wood siding?

• <div><p>There are several highly durable types of siding that you can build right on top of without removing it, with wood being one of them, provided it's in excellent condition. However, a common reason for siding replacement is to eliminate materials that are in poor condition, making installing new wood siding over old not recommended. Additionally, the cost of adding siding over existing siding can increase costs to between $7 and $13 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How do I remove mildew from wood siding?

• <div><p>Mildew grows into porous wood, making it more difficult to remove than regular dirt (and more destructive). We suggest using a dedicated mildew and mold fungicide to remove mildew, which is found in any local home improvement store. Apply a dose of the fungicide to the siding and leave to work according to the instructions, usually for an hour or two. Then wash it thoroughly away and scrub the spot again. Repeat the process if necessary. If nothing is removing the mildew stains, you should plan on removing those clapboard planks in time, as their damage could cause future problems.</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:)
