Do you need to sand cedar siding before staining?

• <div><p>If you buy new cedar, the process of cutting it usually roughs up the surface enough that it doesn’t require sanding. However, if you buy older cedar or you’re repurposing it from another application, it’s a good idea to sand it. This helps the stain settle into the grain, and results in a more uniform appearance. </p></div>

How often do you need to caulk siding?

• <div><p>Caulking should be re-applied roughly every five years. It's natural for a home to settle and separate caulking from joints, so it's a good idea to assess the home every two years. A consistent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-maintain-your-siding-s-beauty.htm">siding maintenance</a> schedule will help you see if the caulking is needed and address any potential issues before they occur.</p></div>

What are the signs my house needs repointing?

• <div><p>The telltale signs that your home is ready for repointing include visibly damaged bricks, crumbling bricks, flaking bricks, loose mortar, cracked mortar, gaps between brick and mortar, leaking inside your home, and visible water damage. Consider repointing when going over <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-brick-homes.htm">brick house pros and cons</a> if you're buying a new home. Repointing is also a good idea if you plan to paint, acid wash, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-brick-staining-cost.htm">stain your brick home</a>, as it will give you a good base for coloration and prevent repairs after the work is done.</p></div>

Can homeowners' insurance cover rotted siding?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-homeowners-insurance-cover-water-damage.htm">homeowners' insurance</a> can include coverage for siding, general wear and tear of siding is not covered. If your siding is rotting—especially because you haven’t kept up with proper siding maintenance—replacement siding will likely not be covered by your homeowners' insurance policy. Instead, insurance generally covers siding repair or replacement if your siding has been damaged by extreme weather, vandalism, fire, or some kind of collision, like by a vehicle.</p></div>

Professional crew did a great job of landscaping my side and back yard. They should up on time each day until the job was completed to my satisfaction.

I was very impressed with The House Next Door. They did everything they said they would do and then some. Their bid was on the high side, however I don't mind due to the quality of the work.

They were very professional. They applied many layers of underlay and decking material. The decks look beautiful. Plus they repaired stucco on the side of my house which had buckled due to the leaking of the old deck.
