Which siding needs the least upkeep?
Vinyl needs no painting. Fiber cement needs repainting less often than wood.
Can new siding go over old siding?
Sometimes, but removing it lets the contractor check the wall for moisture damage first.
Do historic districts limit siding choices?
In Charlotte's local historic districts (Dilworth, Fourth Ward, Hermitage Court, McCrorey Heights, Oaklawn Park, Plaza Midwood, Wesley Heights and Wilmore), exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Commission before work starts.
