"Working with Ivan was a pleasure. He explained everything in detail to me and answered all of my questions. The team (Mario) doing the siding and soffits were very efficient, polite and cleaned up after themselves. My finished siding and soffits look amazing. It looks like I have a new house. I would definitely recommend RIA construction to anyone."

"RIA Construction Company did an excellent job on our siding project! The workers were highly skilled, professional, and courteous. I would highly recommend their services."
"Roman and his team started the job on the same day he came out for his initial visit. They replaced three sizable siding areas on my house and repainted the new siding to match my house color. They were done within two days and left the job site spotless. Will be hiring again."
"I couldn’t be happier with the vinyl siding work done by Payne Home Improvements. From start to finish, they were professional, on time, and paid attention to every detail. The crew worked efficiently, cleaned up thoroughly each day, and the finished result completely transformed the look of my home. The siding looks amazing, and you can really tell they take pride in their craftsmanship.
I’d highly recommend Payne Home Improvements to anyone looking for quality work and great service."
"Morgan replaced our roof and also replaced our siding in 2021. Their sub noticed that we had inadequate sheathing beneath the siding and replaced it for the cost of the plywood in just a few hours. We were just in the eye of Hurricane Milton and not a roof shingle nor a plank of siding failed."
"I want to say how happy I am with the work that RFH did on our mobile home. We had old vinyl film windows and they replaced them with new Jeld-Wen insulated single hung windows. They also installed vinyl siding to complete our new sunroom. I love it. It looks great. I would definitely hire RFH again and have recommended him to my neighbors who have used them also.

To calculate how much siding you need for exterior walls, first measure the height and width of the rectangular walls. For the triangular gable walls, measure the width and then the height from the ground to the tallest gable point.
For the rectangular walls, the calculation is: length x height
For the triangular gable walls, the calculation is: (length x height) / 2
Once you add these up, include an additional 10% to account for any wastage.
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.
Vinyl can withstand many different cleaning methods, but there are two things you need to be wary of. First, particularly harsh chemicals will damage your vinyl siding and reduce its lifespan. Second, be careful about pressure washing your vinyl siding. Vinyl can resist powerful washing damage more than softer siding like wood, but high levels of pressure can still crack it. Use the lowest level of pressure for power washing vinyl, or hire a siding professional to do it.
Cracked mortar, loose bricks, water damage, and efflorescence (white powdery deposits) are common problems.
You should use a siding nail gun for siding installation, but if you don’t have one you can use a framing nailer instead, if the nails are long enough to firmly attach to the clapboard siding. However, framing requires longer nails that join lumber together. In that instance, siding nails will not be enough.
