What is the best way to clean hardiplank siding?

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
just meeee asked:


We recently bought a house with hardiplank siding. My husband and I had never even heard of it before! LOL, we were from a different part of the country. Anywho, it has some green mold? Mildew? Algae? growing on it, and we would like to restore it to its original white color. Is it safe to pressure wash? What is the BEST way to get it clean and keep it clean?

Where can I find good home improvement companies that work on aluminum siding projects in Brooklyn, NY?

Sunday, September 25th, 2011
Marcy M asked:


I need to get an estimate on how much it would cost to repair (or replace, if necessary) my aluminum siding. Additionally, I need to find a company that can do masonry (cement and brick work) work (we need new outdoor stairs). I’d like to find a site that has a listing of outstanding, top, or leading construction companies located in Brooklyn, Queens, or Manhattan here in New York City (NYC).

Thank you!

I am insulating the outside of our basement and plan on using blueboard above ground to the siding. But I need something to cover it or need something other than blueboard. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

biganess asked:


I am covering a shed and while the frame is up I wanted to explore all siding options. I have explored tin and T1-11 and during this research I discovered another option, beaded pine. I am lookin gfor the cheapest solution and don’t mind water sealing or finishing myself. I just want to save some money.

Thursday, September 1st, 2011
capitman asked:


I am planning to sell my home. It has cedar shingle siding which is quite difficult to paint, and I am thinking of getting Vinyl siding, but I have heard rumors that the FHA is reluctant to back a mortgage loan on house with vinyl siding. I don’t want to limit any buyer options.
