"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."
"Jake and his StraightLine Design family did a full exterior remodel on our North End Boise home. The result is an amazing 1910 home that has been restored to near-original condition. StraightLine did the roof, gutters, siding, and windows. They sourced period appropriate wood siding and shingles and we could not be happier with the project. Jake at StraightLine is incredibly responsive 24/7 and handled all challenges with utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Honestly, the StraightLine team is 5-star and I highly recommend them for any project!"
"Curtis, the owner of Sun Enterprises, came by to give us a very reasonable bid to have sIding on our house repaired and replaced. We hired him. He came with one of his employees the very next day and had it finished that morning! His work was exceptional! He has at least 30 years of experience and we would very highly recommend him!"
"We had a great experience with Treasure Valley Exteriors.Max came to our home and gave us a quote. He was professional and accommodating. We ordered the windows. They arrived on time. They started the work when the said they would. Brandon who installed the windows did a great job. His attention to detail was really impressive. He did a great job on the install. He left no mess. I have extensively remodeled two of my personal houses and Treasure Valley Exteriors is one of the best companies I have used. I have very high standards and it can be hard to find good tradesman. I would recommend Max and Treasure Valley Exteriors. We will be having siding installed down the line and we will be using Treasure Valley Exteriors again. "
"Saul at Saul Does It All did an excellent job at painting the exterior of our home. It was a pretty big project, with no delays on their side. And the results were Impressive and beautiful. Saul and his crew were super professional, responsive, and helpful at all times. I will definitely use Saul Does It All again."
"Everything was fast and professional, wood siding looks exactly like I wanted to, professionals was asking properly about how I want it to look, and also giving me advice how can I make it cheaper and more beautiful, feels like they was doing it for themselves, not for a client, I will go to them again, if I need one more siding"
Yes, insulated vinyl siding increases the R-value of your home. Depending on the quality and brand of the insulated vinyl, you can get an R-value that is up to 5 times greater than traditional vinyl siding. This can be fantastic for homeowners who are trying to lower their utility costs.
To maintain vinyl siding, homeowners should regularly clean it with mild soap and water, inspect for damage, and promptly repair any issues. Avoid using high-pressure washing and keep sharp objects away to prevent scratches. Check for mold or mildew and clean with a mixture of water and mild detergent. Take preventive measures to avoid fading, such as minimizing exposure to direct sunlight and using color-safe cleaning products. With proper maintenance, vinyl siding can retain its appearance for years.
Contrary to popular belief, people still do use aluminum siding for their homes—but it’s much less popular than it was in the mid-1900s. The introduction of various types of vinyl siding 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 house siding options, especially newer and more popular types like stone veneer siding, aluminum siding has simply just fallen out of favor.
Yes, cedar is a popular option for shou sugi ban siding, which is a Japanese style of charring wood for a home’s exterior to finish and protect the material. Cedar shou sugi ban siding costs $15 per square foot on average, but ranges between $2 and $25 per square foot depending on your home’s size, the price of labor, and where you live.
Wood siding requires an air gap behind it to allow water to drain out, and for air circulation and venting to allow humid air to escape and keep the material from rotting due to moisture.
