Q: What are the alternatives to brick veneer siding?

• <div><p>The most obvious alternative to brick veneer siding is a true brick wall. However, you can also explore cost-effective alternatives to brick veneer, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-stone-veneer.htm">stone veneer siding</a>, engineered wood siding, and fiber cement siding. Hardie board is another popular option for its high quality; <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-of-hardie-board-siding.htm">Hardie board siding costs</a> <b>$17,500 </b>on average, however. Vinyl siding is a more affordable option, but it&rsquo;s significantly less durable than brick veneer. Explore the various <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-vinyl-siding.htm">types of vinyl siding</a>&mdash;and their pros and cons&mdash;before committing.</p></div>

Q: Is stucco considered siding or cladding?

• <div><p>Stucco is considered a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cladding-types.htm">type of cladding</a> because it includes a built-in ventilation layer, a weatherproof membrane beneath that, and, often, a layer of insulation to improve building efficiency. The multiple layers of stucco&mdash;the scratch coat, the brown coat, and the finish coat&mdash;also create a more complex building membrane, so it&rsquo;s more accurate to call it cladding. However, homeowners and contractors alike refer to stucco as siding.</p></div>

Q: How long does house cladding last?

• <div><p>The durability and overall longevity of house cladding varies by the material, but the average lifespan is between <b>15 to 25 years</b>. Metal cladding is generally the most durable and long-lasting, with a life expectancy of up to 100 years. Environmental factors such as climate, humidity, moisture, and UV exposure can all play into how long cladding lasts. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right contractor for stucco removal?

• <div><p>When hiring for your project, look for licensed, insured contractors with experience in stucco removal. Ask them for references, review their past stucco removal projects, and request detailed, written estimates. A reputable stucco removal contractor will explain the entire process, outline all costs, and ensure proper disposal and compliance with local codes.</p></div>

Q: Which additional home improvement tasks can I undertake simultaneously with new siding installation?

• <div><p>While you&rsquo;re having new siding installed, it&rsquo;s a good time to evaluate what else your home may need. Apply a fresh coat of paint before you add new siding. Gutter maintenance is also a popular choice for people installing board and batten siding. Combining related outdoor tasks can save on labor costs by bundling services and hourly rates.</p></div>
