"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 couldn’t be happier with Big Sky Builders and the work they did on our home. The mix of rock and siding completely updated the exterior, and the redesigned entry is both beautiful and safe. They also did a fantastic job refurbishing our back porch.
Communication was excellent, the price was very reasonable, the craftsmanship and dedication truly stood out. They turned our house into a home we’re proud to own.
Highly recommended!"
"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."
Clapboard siding is traditionally made of wood, and is one of the most common types of wood siding in North America. When people talk about wood siding, they are usually talking about clapboard siding. However, not all wood siding is in the clapboard style: It can be tongue-and-groove, shake, and other designs. Also, clapboard siding can sometimes be made of different materials, like vinyl or fiber cement, so the terms are not interchangeable.
Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It’s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.
Regular washing and quick repair of damaged areas to maintain appearance.
You have several options you can choose from for climbing plants without damaging your siding. Climbing hydrangea and Carolina jessamine are two options, and jasmine, honeysuckle, and sweet pea are a few others. Look for these climbing plants to add lovely curb appeal and are less likely to cause damage to your siding.
If you buy new cedar, the process of cutting it usually roughs up the surface enough that it doesn’t require sanding. However, if you buy older cedar or you’re repurposing it from another application, it’s a good idea to sand it. This helps the stain settle into the grain, and results in a more uniform appearance.
