"Replaced windows with Anderson 100 series windows as well as the siding on the house. Entire process was smooth and painless, Salesman was professional and not the typical high pressure usually found with window and siding companies. They weren't the cheapest bid but only slightly higher than the others. Overall, we are very happy with the job and feel that the quality of the workmanship and the professionalism of the company was worth the minimal price difference. I would hire again."

"Can't say enough good things about this Environmental Abatement company. Got four bids with widely varying prices and level of professionalism. This company offered a very professional contract at a fair price - not the highest or lowest. Phone and online contact was always top notch. This was a big job because the building is 45 ft tall and had a top layer of aluminum siding that had to be removed in order to get to the asbestos siding that had been installed around 1935. The job was big, dirty, difficult due to weather and size of building. They did a perfect job, removing all debris, nails, cleanup every day for five days. A special shout out to the project manager, Jimmy. He was a good communicator, supervisor, hands on participant every step of the way. Do not hesitate to hire this organization if you need siding removal."
Yes, you can mount shutters to vinyl siding. Depending on the weight and material of choice, you may need more fasteners or larger fasteners to secure the shutters onto the vinyl surface. It’s also important to locate studs or drill into the window frame when installing heavier shutters to best hold the weight of the shutters if you opt for composite or wood shutters.
You can calculate the required square footage of siding you need by measuring the height and width of your home’s rectangular exterior walls. For the triangular-shaped gable walls, measure the height from the ground to the tallest gable point to make sure you have enough for good coverage. Once you have combined the totals for each wall, add another 10% to account for wasted materials. It’s also good to have extra siding on hand to tackle wood siding repair down the road.
While almost nothing is completely fireproof, metal siding is extremely fire-resistant. It’s non-combustible so while it may eventually melt in extreme temperatures, it won’t actually light on fire itself. This can add a layer of safety to structures that wood or vinyl siding can’t, making it attractive for industrial use. Metal siding can significantly slow down the spread of a fire, giving extinguishers and firefighters a much better chance at saving the structure and containing the blaze.
Mildew grows into porous wood, making it more difficult to remove than regular dirt (and more destructive). We suggest using a dedicated mildew and mold fungicide to remove mildew, which is found in any local home improvement store. Apply a dose of the fungicide to the siding and leave to work according to the instructions, usually for an hour or two. Then wash it thoroughly away and scrub the spot again. Repeat the process if necessary. If nothing is removing the mildew stains, you should plan on removing those clapboard planks in time, as their damage could cause future problems.
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.
