"Ryan did an excellent job on the outside of my house. The siding and awning needed to be replaced from Water Rot!. The price is very reasonable and the job was excellent. His crew did a great job of cleaning up as well. I would definitely rehire him for remodeling as well. I believe he also does bathrooms as well as remodel the inside!"

"Worked with Andrew - he was quick to communicate, included all necessary details, and kept in touch. He and his crew (Alex and Andre) showed up on time and had the whole deck demolished and cleaned up in only 2 hours. Would definitely work with him again."

"We just completed a 4 month renovation with Ryan and his team and are thrilled with the result. We ended up redoing 3 bathrooms, our kitchen, laundry room, garage, fireplace, and some of the exterior siding - it was a big job! The team and the subcontractors who worked on our house were all very respectful and knowledgeable. We were around the house often they would drop what they were doing to help us unload supplies or fix something we were having an issue with. Ryan himself is very transparent and easy to communicate with. Not all the news we got during our renovation was great (we found some unexpected water damage) but you can trust that Ryan will be honest with you and work on options to get you back on track."

Siding questions, answered by experts

Many people remove aluminum siding to get to the wood underneath, allowing them to paint, stain, or finish the wood to give the home a brand-new aesthetic. With that in mind, you find plywood and related types of wood underneath aluminum siding, but you also run into fiber cement board, strand board, and a diverse array of other building materials. It depends on the original design of the house. 

You should restain or refinish your home's cedar siding every three to seven years to maintain its appearance and ensure maximum protection. The precise frequency depends on several factors, including your local climate, the siding's exposure to severe weather like direct sunlight, rain, and wind, the quality of the initial stain application, the type of stain used, and the condition of the wood.

Homeowners in harsh climates with high humidity and significant direct sunlight should plan on restaining every three years, while those in milder locations can wait up to seven years. For the longest-lasting protection in particularly harsh environments, consider using an opaque stain.

If you're looking for a lower-maintenance alternative, vinyl or aluminum siding are options to consider. Although their installation cost may be higher, they don't require as much upkeep over time, which can provide more value, especially in areas with excessive rainfall or high humidity.

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.

Clapboard is considered to be eco-friendly, as it is mostly sourced from sustainable natural resources and it has insulating properties. Clapboard is more sustainable than vinyl siding materials, which are made of plastic. Clapboard made from fiber cement can also be considered environmentally friendly. This material mimics the look of wood without the impact of deforestation.

Avoid toxic chemicals that can leach into nearby lawns, as well as household ingredients like vinegar that can ruin paint and sealants. Instead, look for a very light detergent or a dedicated exterior siding cleaner. In a pinch, you can use a basic dish or laundry soap, but we suggest sticking with a dedicated cleaner.

If your siding is struggling with algae or moss, which indicates moisture issues, look for an outdoor cleaner that’s specifically designed to clear moss and algae stains. This is also a sign that you need to seal your clapboard against further problems.
