        "text": "Maintenance needs vary significantly by siding type. Vinyl siding is generally low maintenance, requiring occasional washing to remove dirt and mildew. Fiber cement needs periodic repainting, typically every 10-15 years, and cleaning. Wood siding requires the most upkeep, including regular cleaning, sealing or painting every few years, and prompt repair of any rot or insect damage. Metal siding is very low maintenance, mainly needing occasional cleaning. Understanding these requirements helps you choose a material that fits your lifestyle.",
