"Windows and Siding Group was a joy to work with. This is a project that you hope to do once in a lifetime. From the very start of the process, the team was extremely helpful. They guided us with options and information that helped make the decision easy. They scheduled the work and completed it on-time. The clean-up was impeccable and the job well done. I would recommend Windows and Siding Group as a choice provider to any and all. Great work and at a reasonable price."

"We had a piece of aluminum fascia trim blown off the front of our house in the recent high winds. The piece that fell to the ground needed to be replaced since it was bent up. There was also a section of fascia by the garage that needed to be re-positioned and secured, along with another small section of trim that needed to be re-secured under the siding above the garage. Austin got us a quote quickly after Paul took a look in person, and the we were scheduled within a few days to have the work done. We opted for the more expensive option of replacing the entire gable trim so it matched better instead of just the one piece. Paul did a great, efficient job in the cold and windy weather. He's a nice professional person to work with."

"I had to do a full siding replacement on a mid-sized home and Ideal Siding absolutely nailed it. The LP Smartside looks amazing and the installation was clean and precise. Definitely exceeded expectations."

"We used Integrity Windows and Siding back in 2012 to replace our siding and half of our windows (one of the windows did break shortly after installation - it was quickly replaced at no cost, no questions asked). Fast forward to 2023, we again sought out Integrity and Howard to install some of the remaining windows. Howard is very knowledgeable, easy to work with, explains options, kept us informed during the process and sells a quality window at a fair price. Mike, who has been with Integrity for 20+ years, was very careful during the installation - clearly he knows what he is doing! The windows look great, work great and keep us warmer. We highly recommend Integrity and Howard for your next project. We couldn't be happier."

"A great experience from start to finish! We found Berg Roofing on Angie's List and decided to give them a call based on the high number of positive reviews. John came out last September to provide an estimate on the siding; he was very knowledgeable, did not use any pressure tactics, and took time to answer all of our questions. We decided to go with Berg and the siding turned out great. We were so pleased we hired them again this Spring to do the roof. The quality of the work was excellent, the crews cleaned up after themselves, and John came back to inspect the property after the crews had left. He was a pleasure to work with, kept us informed at every step in the process, and was very responsive to our questions. If you are in need of new siding or a roof and want to find a company that is ethical, responsive, professional, competitively priced, and excels at customer service, give Berg a call."

"Tom was pleasant to work with. He returned the call promptly. Showed up the next day even though it was wet and snowy, he took care of the siding and tucked it back in. Fair pricing and work. Certainly to be recommended."

Siding questions, answered by experts

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.

DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures weatherproofing, insulation, and proper fastening.

Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it’s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.

You should consider acclimating the wood for your shou sugi ban siding for around two weeks before installation to balance its moisture content and prevent warping. That additional step will ensure your materials are prepped for installation, avoiding complex repairs down the line. Consult your siding contractor for additional installation instructions for this specialized material.

Although horizontal siding is found on more homes and deemed more popular, vertical siding is gaining popularity and becoming more trendy. Its ability to make homes appear taller and modern design is making it a favorite among homeowners. Plus, the vast style options available make it suitable for various architecture types.
