What is the best product to use for exterior siding?

Thursday, March 24th, 2011
Gracie asked:


SmartSiding, Cement Fiber, or real wood. We are looking at replacing existing wood 4×8 panels with lap siding for a building. Siding would be above the ground by about 8 feet. Would like to use LP Smart siding. Have not heard anything bad about it.

I just noticed some hornets going in and out of the siding above my front porch. Will spray be effective? Or do I need an exterminator?

How can I seal a fairly small hole in my house siding?

Skynet asked:


There is a small hole in my siding that I don’t think requires the entire piece of siding to be replaced. Is there any way I can just seal the hole with some sort of putty?

How difficult is it to replace drywall and siding yourself?

Monday, March 21st, 2011
Zanzibar asked:


We have a separate garage that experienced some water damage due to a lack of drainage in our backyard. We’ve since fixed the drainage problem, but now we need to replace some of the exterior siding (not vinyl) and interior drywall (just the lower half of the wall). Do you think this could be a do-it-yourself project, or should we hire someone? I am a little concerned the damage could be more extensive than we realize. Thanks.

Also, will it protect the wood from natural elements and termites? Any good websites that sell siding so I can get an idea of the options out there?
