        "text": "The lifespan of weatherproofing varies significantly by material and climate. High-quality paints and stains on wood siding can last 5-10 years, while fiber cement siding itself can last 30-50 years with minimal maintenance. Vinyl siding typically has a lifespan of 20-40 years. Sealants and caulking usually need re-application every 5-10 years, depending on exposure. Regular inspections help identify when these treatments are nearing the end of their effective life.",
