Have you ever wondered just how long a particular building component like siding, may last on a new home![]()
If you live in Kingman Arizona, the most common material is stucco which has a normal 50+ year life if installed correctly. Remember all stucco cracks with typical settling and exposure in our climate. If a crack is less than 1/8 inch wide it shouldn't cause much concern. However, if a crack is more than 1/8 inch or has a defection there is a possibility of structural movement and should be addressed asap.
Other common siding materials should last as follows:
The ten most common defects encountered nationally,
In our area, most foundations are poured slab on grade with relatively few defects encountered. But remember, just because a home has passed a local code inspection, that is no guarantee it is free from problems. Remember that building inspectors only inspect the minimum standards required.
Be sure to have your home inspected within the time frame indicated on your contract to purchase. Even if a home is new, there can be unexpected problems that need to be addressed before closing.

The Seligman Historical Society Building is in need of renovation. The 2009 Seligman Historical Society Phone Directory is the only fund raising method used to fund the project.
Nancy and I are listed in this directory because we both believe in preserving our historic buildings.
The Society is housed in the Cottage Hotel, built circa 1912 by Mrs. Anna Spencer. The front part of the hotel was used as living quarters and the remaining rooms rented to cowboys and railroaders. Besides being a boarding house, te cottage Hotel was used as a birthing place for expectant mothers. On February 12, 1998 the State Historic Preservation Office in Phoenix declared the hotel a historical landmark.
