Q: Is clapboard the same as wood siding?

• <div><p>Clapboard siding is traditionally made of wood, and is one of the most common types of wood siding in North America. When people talk about wood siding, they are usually talking about clapboard siding. However, not all wood siding is in the clapboard style: It can be tongue-and-groove, shake, and other designs. Also, clapboard siding can sometimes be made of different materials, like vinyl or fiber cement, so the terms are not interchangeable. </p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to insulated vinyl siding?

• <div><p>While insulated vinyl siding has one of the highest R-values out there, there are a few alternatives worth considering. When paired with a layer of insulation, manufactured stone veneer has an R-value of 4.5. Composite siding also provides good insulation with an R-value of 2 to 4. </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.

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.
