"I just had my roof replaced with Lane Roofing. Shawn Keys was very honest and helpful. He inspected my roof and told me everything that needed to be repaired and replaced and updated me through the whole process and shared photos from start to finish. The crew was great. They showed up early and cleaned up like they were never there. I would highly recommend Lane Roofing & Exteriors."

"We recently had our home siding replaced by J.W. Tull, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Their price was very competitive, and the quality of their work was outstanding. Joel, our project consultant, was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the design and product selection process. He helped us choose a combination of CertainTeed siding with beautiful accents in shakers, board and batten, and stonework — and the end result exceeded our expectations. Joe, our project manager, was meticulous and detail-oriented. He kept us informed throughout the entire project and was always easy to reach with any questions. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out — especially the stonework, which looks absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really show. We highly recommend J.W. Tull to anyone considering new siding!"

"From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with Paddy's Roofing. They were referred to me by another contractor who came to power-wash my siding, and noted that the roof shingles were getting brittle. I was aware of this, and had been planning to have a new roof installed in the Spring. I left a message with Paddy's on their website, and Charlie responded back to me later that evening. We arranged to have him come out the next morning for the estimate. When Charlie arrived, he was well-prepared, presented me with copies of their business license and insurance certificate, and had already used software to measure the roof and he gave me the verbal estimate right there on the spot. He also left some shingle sample boards so my wife and I could make a good decision regarding the color we wanted. Paddy's estimate was the lowest price I had received. Tiffany followed up by sending me a written estimate over email the next business day, which detailed all the work to be done. I signed the estimate and faxed it back. Three days later the work began, and was finished in two days. The crew were polite and professional, and they made sure to clean up around the house very well after the tear-off and new installation. The quality of the work is superb, and the best value for the dollar I could have imagined. The new roof looks great and my 25 year-old house now looks brand new! I highly recommend Paddy's to anyone considering a new roof!"

Siding questions, answered by experts

A square of siding refers to 100 square feet of siding materials. Rather than sell by the individual square foot, manufacturers typically sell siding materials by the square. For instance, if you need 105 square feet of siding but the material is sold in squares, you’ll need to purchase two squares (200 square feet).

Generally speaking, the thicker the siding, the higher the quality. Thicker siding provides a stronger resistance against extreme weather conditions. Thicker siding also tends to fade more slowly under the sun. Hardie boards, a popular fiber cement siding option, is usually 5/16 inches thick. Meanwhile, masonry-finished cement siding varies from 5/8 to 5/8 inches thick.

Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It’s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.

Similar to other types of wood siding consisting of natural materials, cedar siding should last 20 to 40 years. However, the lifespan for any wood siding, including cedar, can be far shorter without the proper repair and maintenance work. Don’t put off making repairs, or problems could worsen quickly. While you can repair minor holes and cracks in the siding shakes, rot and warping requires replacing the boards. 

Composite siding, with proper care, can last 30 years and sometimes more. Because its color has a tendency to fade, you might want to re-paint it every five years or so. Before purchasing composite siding, check the manufacturer’s warranty—you should have a long-term warranty to back up the quality of the product.
