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>

Q: Can I use dish soap on aluminum siding instead of a cleaning solution?

• <div><p>Although dish soap will work to clean some of the grime off the aluminum siding, it may not kill mold and mildew as efficiently as a cleaning solution you can buy at a hardware store. If you have oily or greasy substances on the aluminum siding, rather than mold and mildew, dish soap should work extremely well.</p></div>

Q: Why don’t people use aluminum siding anymore?

• <div><p>Contrary to popular belief, people still do use aluminum siding for their homes&mdash;but it&rsquo;s much less popular than it was in the mid-1900s. The introduction of various <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-vinyl-siding.htm">types of vinyl siding</a> as an affordable option reduced the demand for aluminum, which is prone to scratching and denting and needs to be repainted every five to 10 years. Given the abundance of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/siding-experts-discuss-best-types-and-cost.htm">house siding options</a>, especially newer and more popular types like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-stone-veneer.htm">stone veneer siding</a>, aluminum siding has simply just fallen out of favor.</p></div>

Q: Can vinyl siding be installed over existing siding?

• <div><p>Yes, vinyl siding can be installed over existing materials in some cases, assuming the underlying structure is sound and the installation will not cause moisture issues.</p></div>

Q: What is a square of siding?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;ll need to purchase two squares (200 square feet).</p></div>

The 2nd car I bought, I checked 6 dealers in a 150 mile radius and did the comparison side-by-side and then just talked to them a little bit and they stepped up. This last time I compared about 3 and that was it.

He misrepresented himself, never arrived before 11:00 a.m., left by 3:30 p.m. He did a terrible job, he didn't wrap the house in tyvek. His cut outs looked like they were done with a childrens pair of scissors. All of the siding had to be removed and redone.

Al was very timely in getting back to me with a quote after our initial conversation. Work was performed when he said it would be and we are very pleased with the finished product. Quality work for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for roof or siding.

He told us we had to pay for it in full upfront. We made half payment in December 2012 and we paid the balance of the windows in January 2013. He told us that the windows would be installed in April 2013 and we started calling him April through June and he told us that the windows were on back...

The guys who came to "sell" me the project were super friendly and helpful... until the contracts were signed. We were told it would be about 2 weeks until work would start (their website says that normal turnaround is 2 weeks as well). The contracts said 6-8 weeks, just to cover their butts....

The process was very quick and clean! We have aluminum siding, which is much harder for them to work with because it bends a bit when putting it back on. But fortunately we're getting it replaced soon so it wasn't a big deal for them to make it look pretty. Before the job, that room was...

They were just rude. They didn't pay attention to what's going on around them. I was outside one day and they blew stuff all over me. They left stuff everywhere. They ruined my flowers one year by running over them. They blew stuff up onto the side of the building.

Pacific Builders Inc. had very friendly employees who went over everything with me. They gave me ample choices of siding to choose and did good work. They came out with their little trailor and kept working until the job was done. My house looks like a brand new house.

Koch provided excellent service. They arrived when they said they would and finished on time. When I arrived home after the first day of work, I couldn't even tell that they had been there - the entire back side of the roof had been replaced, but the only evidence that they had been there...
