"Other than taking a bit of time to get us scheduled between the bigger jobs, the whole experience could not have been better. Tremendous effort went into matching paint and the grain of siding. They even found a couple of areas we had not noticed. We could not have been more pleased with the courteous and friendly service, and the finished result. They even let us keep the extra siding and the paint they had matched for later jobs. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use them when the time comes to do the full siding replacement that will eventually come. Great job!"
"Both jobs were unusual. First was in a plaster and lathe ceiling. Second was on a very tall chimney. These craftsmen are great. I have tight scheduling and when you make an appointment, you make an appointment. I was really nervous about how much they charge (why I started with a small job ;-]). Don't be. Give them a try."
"I had a new shower installed in Feb 2019. Jamie, the salesperson was very thorough and detailed when providing the estimate. The installer explained what he was going to do and ensured he would keep everything neat during the project. He covered the carpet so not to track dirt into the house. He cleaned up nicely when he was done. I truly enjoyed the walking shower. It was better than imagined. It even added value to my house when I recently sold it! It was also very easy to clean. You can't go wrong. Everyone was professional and respectful."
"John came out to install a single window. Other contractors through home advisor came out and wouldn't follow up because the job was too small. John came out, it was easy to set an appointment with him. He arrived on time and ended up giving me a timely quote and honest timeline on when the work could be done since I had a special order window. Once the window arrived he put it in the following day. Great communication. Will recommended!"
"They have done 2 roofs for me and are scheduled to do another later this week. I also had solar installed on my home and I am pleased not only with the work but the customer service."
"Kape roofing did an amazing job on my roof. Itâ s been a couple of years now and it still looks amazing and has zero issues. They also did my siding. My house is the best looking house on the block! Will 100% recommend them to everyone I know! Thank you kape roofing!"
"Ryan came to introduce us to all the products. Hes very knowledgeable and really convinced us to buy. We canceled all other salesman after meeting him. We cannot wait to get our new doors and windows. The product sells itself! We couldnt be happier with our decision to buy champion!!"
The cost of wood siding varies by the type of wood. Engineered wood siding tends to be in the middle of typical costs ($3 to $7 per square foot for materials). Hardwoods, for instance, can cost $5 to $20 per square foot for materials alone, but cedar wood can be as cheap as $3 per square foot.
No matter what types of metal siding you are cleaning, you should be able to clean them using the same processes you use for aluminum siding. Steel siding and aluminum siding both need cleaning about once per year. You can clean metal siding or aluminum siding without a pressure washer or with one.
Many people remove aluminum siding to get to the wood underneath, allowing them to paint, stain, or finish the wood to give the home a brand-new aesthetic. With that in mind, you find plywood and related types of wood underneath aluminum siding, but you also run into fiber cement board, strand board, and a diverse array of other building materials. It depends on the original design of the house.
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.
Wood clapboard siding needs frequent sealing to keep it in top condition—likely every two to three years. A sealant helps protect it from both moisture and sunlight damage. Your weather and climate will affect how often you need to seal the siding, but the pros recommend sealing it every couple of years. More durable woods in milder climates may not need to be sealed quite as often.
