"I hired M construction for my siding and roofing needs and could not be happier. I do procurement/sourcing for a living (purchase services) and took this project extremely seriously due to our family’s budget. Needless to say they were one of 40 contractors i invited to the bidding- and they had zero issues with the challenge. Chuck provided a birds eye view, was willing to listen to my needs and allow me to choose the products i used, had been communicative through the project and his work crews did an excellent job completing my house. In the end I couldn’t be happier and recommend them to everyone. Through the project chuck provided pictures of the work, progress reports, and when i had issues with another contractor i had purchased windows from - worked around these issues and ensured the job was completed to my satisfaction. If you want honest, quality work from an experienced contractor not fluffing prices for materials who will make the project work effortless- choose M construction. You wont regret it"

Siding questions, answered by experts

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.

Dents, rust, loose panels, and weather-related damage are common problems requiring repair.

Oil-based stains are preferred over latex or water-based varieties because your home's cedar siding must constantly withstand the weather conditions in your location. These stains provide better penetration into the wood to more effectively protect it from UV rays and water infiltration. Oil-based stains are available in transparent, semi-transparent, opaque, or solid-color selections to achieve the look you desire.

Engineered wood siding is still a relatively new type of siding, so it’s hard to say with certainty how long engineered wood siding will last. That said, homeowners should expect to get somewhere from 20 to 30 years out of their engineered wood siding, especially if they keep up with maintenance, including painting it every 10 years. Painting the exterior of a house costs an average of $3,150.

Yes, cedar is a popular option for shou sugi ban siding, which is a Japanese style of charring wood for a home’s exterior to finish and protect the material. Cedar shou sugi ban siding costs $15 per square foot on average, but ranges between $2 and $25 per square foot depending on your home’s size, the price of labor, and where you live.
