  1. Roofing/Siding
    Hi, I'm having my kitchen redone in Massachusetts. This required part of a wall to be replaced, and the door moved. I notice a straight vertical line where the new siding starts. My question is, is this OK, or could it have been installed staggered with the existing siding, and is this better...
  2. Roofing/Siding
    Some people in my congested urban neighborhood of Victorians have a hard exterior siding with multiple, staggered large shingles (Maybe 12" x 8"). There looks to be a metal backing attached to the side of the house. The shingles are hammered into the metal backing with nails. They are not...

    I'm wondering how well this painted wood exterior is going to hold up against the weather (see attached photos). The rest of the home exterior has siding (or brick), so I'm not sure why this area has nothing but painted wood. Would simply painting this area every other year suffice to keep it...
