"It was such a pleasure to work with both Cody Bolster and Blake Carrow. They were very upbeat, they were very knowledgeable about their products and had amazing suggestions for our siding project."
"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!"
"Although there were a few hiccups, all were resolved to our satisfaction. We had a master bath remodel starting with the a new custom shower including a ceiling rain head, grab bar, and shower bench. In addition, we installed a new corner soaker tub with multiple jets. Trenedy installed both of them, and did an excellent job. The tub was finished with the tile of our choice on the front, around the sides and along the bathroom vanity. Both the shower and the tub results exceeded our expectations. Even with the hiccups Three Brothers did a quality job, and has great customer service - especially Brad. We highly recommend this company. You won't be disappointed."
"James did a great job for us building a wall. From start to finish he was here when he said he would be and finished on time even with a few speed bumps in the middle. Non of his own doing I might say. Thank you James you are on the top of my list for the next project. Trent"
"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. "
"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"

"We hired AKAL construction llc (aka ASV cabinets) to install cement board type siding on our house beacuse they were the most competitively priced. Sometimes when you go with the lowest bid, you "get what you pay for". But these guys were TOP NOTCH! They were on time, communicative, and worked fast and hard, and cleaned up everyday that they were here! They were also patient and understanding with change orders and material shortages. We will definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for siding or any other trade work."

This is a tricky answer because how fast you work, how large your team is, and what type of siding you install will all determine your total time. One person placing bricks around an entire house can take weeks, but a team of 10 could complete the job in just a few days. Installing siding is a job that’s best done by a pro, as they are experienced and will perform solid work. A rough guideline for DIYers is to budget 15 minutes per square foot of siding.
Many people remove aluminum siding to get to the wood underneath, allowing them to paint, stain, or finish the wood to give the home a brand-new aesthetic. With that in mind, you find plywood and related types of wood underneath aluminum siding, but you also run into fiber cement board, strand board, and a diverse array of other building materials. It depends on the original design of the house.
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.
You may only need to repaint fiber cement siding every decade or so, but you should clean it every six to 12 months, depending on your local climate. First, wash with a garden hose or similar low-pressure device (not a high-pressure washer, which can damage the material) to remove dirt and any large debris. Then, gently wipe down the surface with a soft brush or cloth in a side-to-side motion, following the grain of the fiber cement.
Concrete log siding offers some cost savings when compared to wood logs. Real wood logs require ongoing maintenance that can total up to $750 annually, while concrete log siding doesn’t require annual maintenance. Since concrete log siding exceeds the requirements of most building codes, it can also lower insurance premiums and boost resale value.
