What it means for siding work

  • Half of Waukesha's homes were built before 1980, and houses from before 1978 fall under the EPA's lead renovation rule when painted surfaces are disturbed.
  • By NAHB's estimates, trim (about 25 years) and exterior paint (15 years or more) wear out well before vinyl, fiber cement or engineered wood siding does.

About these figures
