I have a small 75 year old house that is in need of repainting. The wooden clapboards are in good condition except that they are covered in alligatored paint. I tried scraping with a heat gun but it is slow going (though it works). Is there any other way of stripping paint quickly? My other option is to side with fiber cement boards. I just hate vinyl. Materials will run about $3500. (My house is small).
Anybody ever scrape and paint an old house? Was it worth it? How about fiber cement boards?
Thanks for the help.
