Have you thought of vinyl siding?
I bought my house in 1982 for $30,000.
I wait until things really need to get done.
Had my house painted in 1988 for $2,000, about two years later than when it should have been done.
By 1993 or 1994 it was already needing repainting. I was not going to keep paying $2,000 every so many years to keep painting it.
Instead, in 1995 I had it vinyl sided. I could look up the price but I'm guessing $3,000. From then until two years ago (2022) I did not maintenance to it and much of it was quite stained.
Two years ago using just the water hose and a $20 device and chemicals we got all the stain off. People who saw my house thought I'd got new siding. Now 29 years old the siding still looks excellent.
