        "text": "The maintenance required for new siding depends on the material chosen. Vinyl siding is generally low-maintenance, requiring only occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and mildew. Fiber cement siding may need repainting every 10-15 years, but it's very durable otherwise. Wood siding requires the most upkeep, including regular cleaning, sealing, staining, or painting to protect it from weather and rot. Regardless of material, periodic inspections are recommended to catch any potential issues early.",
