"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!!"
Vinyl, brick veneer, stucco, steel, stone veneer, and composite siding are popular alternatives to wood siding. Which siding material is best for your home boils down to your budget, aesthetics, lifestyle, and climate. For example, stone veneer offers a timeless charm and is low maintenance but may have too high of a price tag. Meanwhile, some homeowners love vinyl siding for its low cost, while others dislike it for its appearance and shorter life span.

Hail as small as 3/4 inch (about the size of a penny) can cause damage to your siding. When hail reaches 1 inch in size, you can expect to see more cracks, chips, and holes, and hail that’s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. If you see hail that’s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.
The telltale signs that your home is ready for repointing include visibly damaged bricks, crumbling bricks, flaking bricks, loose mortar, cracked mortar, gaps between brick and mortar, leaking inside your home, and visible water damage. Consider repointing when going over brick house pros and cons if you're buying a new home. Repointing is also a good idea if you plan to paint, acid wash, or stain your brick home, as it will give you a good base for coloration and prevent repairs after the work is done.
If you’re wondering how to make wood siding last longer, including Composite T1-11, inspect it annually or quarterly to spot and repair cracks, holes, or chipped areas. You’ll also want to re-stain the wood every 3 to 5 years or repaint every 7 to 10 years for protection (note that repainting requires stripping and sanding off old paint as well). Lastly, keep up with regular cleanings using a garden hose or low-pressure power washer to help prevent grime and discoloration.
