Q: Should you caulk clapboard siding?

• <div><p>Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it&rsquo;s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of concrete log siding?

• <div><p>Concrete log siding can last several decades, from 30 to 50 years or more, as long as you keep up with proper maintenance. Luckily, concrete log siding is much lower maintenance than typical <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-siding.htm">types of wood siding</a>, so you&rsquo;ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you&rsquo;ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.</p></div>

Q: Can I install or repair siding myself, or is it better to hire a professional?

• <div><p>While you can perform minor siding repairs or even install it yourself over small areas, it is generally best to hire a professional siding company. Siding installation is a time-consuming and complicated process that requires specialized tools and experience. Most homeowners lack the skills to ensure proper alignment, weatherproofing, longevity, and durability, especially for more complex jobs like vertical siding. The money saved on a DIY project may not be worth the time and potential risks of improper installation.</p></div>

Q: What do you put behind wood siding?

• <div><p>Wood siding requires that air can circulate behind it and that water can drain away if necessary. Your home needs a water-restrictive barrier underneath furring strips to achieve the air and water gap.</p></div>

Q: How big does hail have to be to damage siding?

• <div><p>Hail as small as 3/4 inch (about the size of a penny) can cause damage to your siding. When hail reaches 1 inch in size, you can expect to see more cracks, chips, and holes, and hail that&rsquo;s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. If you see hail that&rsquo;s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.</p></div>

Prompt responses and communication. Project was completed in one day for the siding. They worked late until dark to make it happen too! Scheduling another home repair project with them now. Very happy with the communication, work, and timeliness. Will be recommending them to friends and family.

I am a young business owner and brand new father! I have worked all over the construction industry from a young age and became a licensed plumber before I finished highschool. The name “One man” Freelancing was inspired by my service in the WV national guard where I still currently serve as the “one man” a term given to the cannon crewmember who loads and fires the artillery cannons. I have a broad range of knowledge and problem solving skills, if I don’t know how to do the job I will surely be able to learn and you will not be disappointed with results!
