"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 cost to install board and batten siding averages between $2.50 and $12.50 per square foot, including labor and materials. Major cost factors of this project include the square footage, the siding material, and the local labor rates. Additional costs include the number of windows and doors, the height of the home, and the painting or staining you want done to the siding.
Composite siding is very resistant to warping that can affect some other sidings. Because of its composition, this siding doesn’t have the same risks of moisture damage that can cause rotting, buckling, and warping. Composite material doesn’t warp in high temperatures the way some kinds of vinyl siding can.
That said, composite siding is not entirely immune from moisture damage. It should still be properly installed so that moisture can properly drain from behind the siding, and protected by eaves and clean gutter so the siding doesn’t get repeatedly soaked by rain, which could lead to damage.
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.
No, you don’t need to use the same siding around the entire home. Using different siding for different walls can actually increase the soft value of your home. Many homeowners opt to add vinyl siding on the sides of their home not facing the street, opting for higher-end siding materials like stone or wood for the front of the house. Stone veneer siding can be a cost-effective option for homeowners who like the appearance of stone, but not the cost.
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.
