"Let's see,where do I start? We had our windows replaced last year by Integrity Windows and Siding. We like the company so much, we hired them to replace our old aluminum siding with vinyl siding. They took off all of old stuff, insulated and wrapped the house, installed new siding,gutter, facia and soffat. We are over and beyond pleased with the work. Howard, the owner has a perfect name for his business, 'Integrity'. He is honest, not pushy and returns phone calls immediately. We could not have gone with a better company. Highly recommend!!"

"We had our chimney tuck pointed and a roof put on the house. The old roof wasn’t torn down this it wasn’t in real bad shape and there was only one layer on. The work was all done in one day and everything was cleaned up when they left."

"Overall it went very well. Conrad came to the house and measured the area. He provided an estimate the following day. I booked a date and time with Tanya, who were able to go to work pretty much immediately. William Harrison came to the house and had his crew to complete the job. He explained in the beginning what they will do and assured me they will do the work with least amount of damage. Which I am happy to say they did. It took only a day and a half to complete. This was really really quick for the amount of space they had to cover. I was really happy with their service. With the 10% discount I got from Angie's list they did all that work and disposed the asbestos for just under $6000. (I had several quotes from other companies higher than this) I didn't give an A for quality because there were just a couple nicks on the wall, but I have to say it was super minor. Also not an A for responsiveness as I was going to get a new proposal sent to me by email when I produced the discount but never received that email. Again though, that is really minor. I have to say I was really happy with their service. Dealing with asbestos can be a scary thing, especially when you are spending a lot of money too. This company I found to be very professional and explained what to expect and not to worry, they will make sure the job gets done properly. I also got a company in to get the air tested afterwards (cost $425). It passed the test and am now asbestos free. I highly recommend bluestone to anyone. You will without doubt be very pleased with their service."

Siding questions, answered by experts

On it own, aluminum siding has a relatively low insulation value (also called R-value); aluminum siding has an R-value of 0.61. However, you can purchase insulated aluminum siding to increase the R-value to between 2 and 5. You can also install additional insulation within your walls to help maintain temperatures within your home. On average, insulation costs $1,825 to install throughout the typical home.

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.

Brick and stone are the most durable and longest-lasting siding materials, often lasting for 100 years or more with proper maintenance. Copper is another material known to last over 100 years, though it can develop a greenish patina over time. Zinc is a metal siding that can last 80-100 years. While these options are the most expensive, they offer superior value and longevity. For a more affordable yet durable choice, stucco can last 50 to 80 years in dry climates. Fiber cement siding is another excellent middle ground, offering a lifespan of 50 years or more with low maintenance at a lower cost than stone or brick.

There are a few options to choose from when it comes to shingle siding, including cedar shake, vinyl, and fiber cement. You can get these shingle siding materials in different colors, shapes, and sizes, giving you plenty of room to customize. You can also combine different siding materials and patterns with shingles for a more unique curb appeal.

To maintain vinyl siding, homeowners should regularly clean it with mild soap and water, inspect for damage, and promptly repair any issues. Avoid using high-pressure washing and keep sharp objects away to prevent scratches. Check for mold or mildew and clean with a mixture of water and mild detergent. Take preventive measures to avoid fading, such as minimizing exposure to direct sunlight and using color-safe cleaning products. With proper maintenance, vinyl siding can retain its appearance for years.
