"They were very thorough with explaining all the options and benefits between the different options for siding. Melia and Eric were very helpful and knowledgeable."
"Excellent. He squeezed us in with our very small project before he started on a big project. Destroying our old deck before installing new one, my yard looked like a war zone, had my doubts, but after the job completed, everything was perfect. Except for the deck. You couldn't even see what work was completed. Recommend him highly. Will use again..."
"We hired Home Pro after having a roofing company from Pocatello come and nearly destroy our patio roof and some of the siding on our house. Then we hired a handyman business to come over and fix and finishâ ¦that was not a good experience either! They did more arguing and fighting than they did work! Thank Goodness we found Home Pro and hired them so the phrase â third timeâ s a charmâ is true! Home Pro saved us from a nervous breakdown! They came finished the roof correctly, quickly and very neat! We highly recommend this company for your roofing needs! Thank you so much!"
"Sebastian is an excellent roofer. He does what he says. He overcomes small hurdles and keeps things moving. I’ve never had one problem with his roofs. He has done 3 or 4 over the past few years."
"Austin did a great job repairing our deck and installing the handrail really appreciate his effort. I would recommend him for that sort of work to anyone."
"Had a roof issue & called or texted a couple of roofing companies. Denton, responded in a very timely manner, came out that day, inspecting the roof, gave approx price using my spares, & a day/time (2 days) . Confirmed bid that night. Showed up on said day & time. Fast, clean at a very reasonable rate."
"Colton was sent to repair draftee windows, which turned out to be a siding problem. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and reasonable. We've saved his card and will be calling Kramer siding for all of our repair and siding needs from here on out. Thank you for your excellent service and professionalism!"
"We hired Montana and the fellas at Big Sky Builders to build a Trex deck and cover/roof. The workmanship is top notch. Montana is very easy to work with and when design changes came up, he worked with us to build what we wanted. The workers are amazing and do a great job. They helped us achieve the deck of our dreams. We will be using Montana and Big Sky Builders for any and all of our construction and building needs. We're extremely happy with the end result. We definitely recommend Big Sky Builders for new construction like ours."
"They did an excellent job! They were very professional, getting the material here the next day and working consistently until the job was done. They checked with us as the work progressed to see if they were doing it up to our expectations. After they were finished they came and cleaned up, sweeping everything and picking everything up and taking it away. Outstanding workmanship!!! We highly recommend them!"
"Amazing. They got right on it. We had hired someone else 1 1/2 years ago to do the job, and they didn’t do anything. Montana showed up, and the work is already almost done."
The main differences between dutch lap versus clapboard siding have to do with their design and texture. Clapboard siding features flat, beveled planks stacked at a slight angle, offering a simple, traditional look. Dutch lap siding features a subtly concave surface along with a notch that creates a shadowed look between the boards. This eye-catching design often resembles wood grain and introduces a noticeable shadow line, making it more visually interesting compared to the simpler look of clapboard siding.
DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures weatherproofing, insulation, and proper fastening.
While you can perform minor siding repairs or even install it yourself over small areas, it is generally best to hire a professional siding company. Siding installation is a time-consuming and complicated process that requires specialized tools and experience. Most homeowners lack the skills to ensure proper alignment, weatherproofing, longevity, and durability, especially for more complex jobs like vertical siding. The money saved on a DIY project may not be worth the time and potential risks of improper installation.
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.
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.
