Slip Siding Away

Let's face it, there's no such thing as a "no-maintenance" siding material. Claims that manufacturers made about aluminum or cement asbestos siding do not bear up to the reality of harsh winters or rainy climates. This site from the Sound Home Resource Center provides paragraph capsules on nine of the most common methods of siding a home, with information on the maintenance costs in terms of money, labor, and aggravation. Not surprisingly, brick siding comes off worst, while aluminum is pristine but for the occasional dent or blemish. Before choosing a new siding for your home, stop here first and learn what you're getting into.
