"Jose was fantastic in fixing up some water damaged siding. He was upfront and honest about the work needed done and pricing. I'm military stationed in Florida and need work done on my rental property in idaho and his communication and patience was amazing. He sent picture along the way and explained everything he was doing nit just to me, but my tenants. He was mindful of my tenants schedule and worked to accommodate. I was never blindsided with hidden costs, which was a relief when we found more damaged under the siding (pics of everything was sent) I was expecting a huge bill from what was quoted for a few boards to be replaced. I was more than comfortable and happy with the final price. The repairs looks great, tenants are happy, insurance is happy, and I have a warranty. I would recommend Jose at Boise window medics any day!!"
"Eric did a great job while giving me my quote. He was very knowledgeable and found some issues with my siding that I hadnt noticed yet. He showed me the product that DaBella was offering and the differences in other siding materials. He worked very hard to make the siding replacement quote affordable and fit all of our needs. I cannot wait to get the new siding."
"We were interested in screening in our existing covered backyard patio and got several on site quotes. When we met Curtis in person we knew it would be a good match, he was so friendly and didn’t try to upsell us, gave us a fair quote and a fast timeline. There were maybe 5 or 6 total workdays for our project, and Curtis’s team of Marco and Antonio were awesome, super skilled and professional. We were amazed by how quickly and professionally all of the work was done, from extending out the concrete patio for the foundation, to framing out the structure, to custom making and fitting all of the screens into place. We are beyond happy with the results of our newly screened in patio, giving us a whole new space to enjoy in our home! Thank you so much Curtis! If you are looking for great work at a fair price, highly recommend contacting Curtis at Sun Enterprises"
"Robert was very professional and was excellent in his knowledge of what needed to be done on our siding repair. I would definitely re-hire him for future needs!"
"Signed up the folks at TVE to do a full remodel on the exterior of my 3k sqft house that contained 40+ squares of roof and siding. First and foremost, all in all , very happy with the result. TVE has the best contractors in the business. From Travis that did the roof to Jay and Matt handling the siding, Absolute craftsmen in what they do and I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. I would absolutely recommend them. However there is always room for improvement and something I have shared with my friends at TVE directly. They bring the best to do the work, but their office process is (in my opinion) has alot of room for improvement. Every step of the project had issues and TVE resolved each and everyone of them! But sometimes it was tough communicating the issues for they have a general e-mail address that you never know who is going to answer, fairly I like the documentation aspect that e-mail provides. I'd think it pretty common for each person in the office to have and email address, so this 'general inbox' caused alot of back and forth that wasn't necessary. If I had to do it all over again, and I absolutely would with TVE. Id get a more concrete contract up front that outlined completion dates and specific Service Level Agreements that outline response times. People , process , product may sound familiar. TVE has two out of three perfected, if they just fix that process part .. well , unstoppable"

Saul and his crew were super professional, responsive, and helpful at all times. I will definitely use Saul Does It All again."
"Charlie a very skilled contractor. While we hired him for siding repair, there was much more extensive damage to the interior of the wall. Charlie had the knowledge and equipment to rebuild the floor, framing and then completed the siding as originally planned. And Charlie did great quality work at each step of the project. He guarantees his work and we have confidence that that wall is in great shape now after Charlie work."

Vinyl siding is the cheapest option in terms of upfront costs. The average cost to install vinyl siding is around $12,173, with certain types like vinyl shake, clapboard, or dutch lap costing as little as $2 to $3 per square foot. While vinyl is very low-cost, it may not last as long as natural materials or metal, with a typical lifespan of 20 to 40 years. In contrast, metal siding is more expensive initially but can save you money in the long run due to its longer lifespan, which is often double that of vinyl. It's recommended to consult a siding professional to determine if the lowest-cost option is the best material for your specific home.
Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it’s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.
Bleach can be an option if you want to kill mold and mildew clinging to your siding. However, you must water bleach down to the right concentration of a 1/2 cup of bleach per gallon of water to avoid damaging your siding. Bleach can also harm plants in your yard and isn’t safe to use near pets, so employ it with caution.
Costs vary based on home size, siding quality, labor, and any necessary repairs to underlying structures. High-grade materials and insulation options tend to influence the overall expense.
Before applying paint to exterior surfaces, filling any cracks or gaps with caulk is essential. Sealing them with a combination of caulk and paint prevents moisture from damaging the paint or decaying the underlying material. You want to ensure the caulk you purchase can be painted over or that you opt for a caulk the same color as the paint.
