"It took 3 hours to get an estimate. The salesman kept pressing for information about how much money I could put as a down payment. I only got an estimate after I threatened to leave. The total cost was very high. The person who called to schedule the salesman appointment was very pushy about windows and siding. About a week after my conversation with the salesman, a person called from DaBella and asked for a review of my experience. I finally hung up in exasperation. I have had other estimates from roofers who were able to be simple and direct. Price was a secondary factor in rejecting the company. I value simple, honest, direct people who are interested in getting me what I need and don't push."

"On a home built in 1957 Approved Contractor Inc (ACI) installed new construction windows and sliding glass doors, stripped the house of old siding, removed old plywood sheathing and old insulation, and then insulated and stuccoed the house. What was important was not only finding a reputable construction company, but also one that would coordinate the total project. The added benefits were quality work and high-end material, at a competitive price. Of note, was the stucco method (4 layers-coats - scratch, brown, finish and texture). The texture coat is an elastomeric paint (color of my choosing) that is water repellent, reflective and provides an even color on the walls - with a lifetime warranty. Other stucco contractors stop on the finish coat, with the color in stucco. In addition ACI uses its own subcontractors. ACI was professional, flexible, and did really great work. ACI was a superb choice."

"I hired Bentov Builders to build an outdoor living space in my front yard, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. I was actually out of state during most of the project, so communication and trust were extremely important to me. Sagi and the Bentov Builders team kept me updated, sent progress photos, explained each step clearly, and made the whole process feel very organized. The work came out beautiful. They handled the landscape remodel, masonry details, deck/patio area, and the overall outdoor design with a lot of attention to detail. The front yard now feels like a real outdoor living area, not just landscaping. If you?re looking for an outdoor living contractor, landscape remodeler, masonry contractor, or deck contractor in San Diego, I highly recommend Bentov Builders. Professional, reliable, and the quality of work speaks for itself."

"Terry Diamond with Arrow Building and Coating just finished a siding and painting project on my home. He and his work team were professional and meticulous. They finished the job in my desired time frame, cleaned up the worksite daily, and communicated with me daily about details and progress. Their pricing was very fair. I will definitely hire them for future projects I need done. Five stars for Mr. Diamond and his team."

"It's a pleasure that they were honest and polite. They did my porch and ceiling and it was a great job. They were more complete company so they did everything the abatement and testing. They were very responsive and punctual. I had one little thing which I guess it's very typical because I could see some of the cracks and they say they change the taping that they used so they came back immediately and did it."

He and his crew arrived on time and with the supplies they needed. They were professional and thorough. The project was completed on budget and clean up was impressive. I would recommend them for anyone with a large or small project."

Siding questions, answered by experts

When it comes to fiber cement siding maintenance, it’s not too much work. However, it needs to be painted about every 15 years and may need to be re-caulked to prevent mold. Be sure to also wash your fiber cement siding with a lower-powered garden hose at least twice a year to avoid buildup and fading as well.

The average cost to replace siding is $10,500, but you should expect to pay an average of $12,000 to install new siding over stucco. The additional cost goes toward assessing the old stucco for damage, any necessary repairs before the new siding goes up, and the materials and labor required to install furring strips over the stucco to attach the new material. Even with this additional cost, installing siding over stucco is often more affordable than removing the stucco and starting over.

Siding pros typically charge by the square foot when providing estimates for siding projects. They’ll take the material cost and add in an estimated labor fee, and some contractors will include an additional upcharge to account for profit, waste, and unexpected issues. Another important price factor your pro will consider is the quality of your home’s current siding, which they’ll need to remove, and your home’s sheathing. If pros have to make any additional repairs to your home’s exterior, the added labor will also influence your final siding cost.

You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.

Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.

Brick and stone are the most durable and longest-lasting siding materials, often lasting for 100 years or more with proper maintenance. Copper is another material known to last over 100 years, though it can develop a greenish patina over time. Zinc is a metal siding that can last 80-100 years. While these options are the most expensive, they offer superior value and longevity. For a more affordable yet durable choice, stucco can last 50 to 80 years in dry climates. Fiber cement siding is another excellent middle ground, offering a lifespan of 50 years or more with low maintenance at a lower cost than stone or brick.
