"Amazing looking windows! Great experience all the way around! I can be a little on the picky side! Ok maybe a lot on the picky side and I couldn’t find one thing wrong! Great investment!!"
"Dan showed up on time and was very polite and appeared to be very knowledgeable. Early in the inspections he asked us if we planned to do any renovations and we said "yes." That is where things went wrong. Although he still did what seemed to be a thorough inspection he spent a lot of time going on and on and on about the evils of Fiberglass insulation and suggesting to us that we hire someone he knows to come out and do work to make sure no fibers were making it into the main part of the house. He was very slow getting the report back to us and when it did come it contained several pages again about the cancer causing properties of fiber glass. Its clear that he has a lot of passion and concern around the fact that people still broadly use something that could cause cancer but in my mind it crosses the line when he starts recommending people to come out and remove it - I would go so far as to cause that a conflict of interest for a home inspector. We have now moved into the house and have discovered that he missed some very basic things which we are now having to get fixed (dryer vent broken and clogged, oven door falling off, light switches not working) and on the other side he raised issues that did not exist such as telling us we had galvanized pipe when we do not. In the end there were al lot of valid items in the report but we are left with an unsettling feeling of being not exactly sure what we got. "

"Other contractors wanted to remove much of the old siding and start with a clean slate. However, Steve did a good job in retro-fitting the replacement siding. He even worked to match the color and texture -- so the new siding would match the old. He was professional, prompt, and pleasant to work with. I would definitely hire him again. In fact, my mom is going to use him to replace her gutters."
"We had a great experience with Allstate windows. Steve came out and met with us about the upgrades we wanted to do with our windows and siding. Steve answered all of our questions concerning the job. He was very knowledgeable in the products he was offering which made us feel comfortable, we received our quote by the next day decided to go with Allstate windows. The windows came in earlier than expected and the installation process was done in a timely matter by his crew. When the job was done they cleaned everything up and left the area very clean. Thanks again to Steve and his team at Allstate windows."

"We recently contracted John DeAngelo and 225 House Painting to remodel the exterior of our home. We needed a complete exterior paint job, repairs to the wood siding, new columns under the car port, new exterior storage room doors, and two interior ceilings painted. John came to our house to give us a free estimate. The next day, he sent us a very detailed contract that not only listed all the work to be done, it clearly explained his warranty and work ethics. We spoke on the phone and through email several times to work out the details. John always responded within half a day and was easy to talk to. John offered help in choosing our exterior paint colors and explained the different types of paint we could use. He repeatedly went the extra mile to take care of unexpected issues that came up. We decided that we also wanted the concrete porch and walkways sealed. John not only arranged this on short notice for a reasonable price, he even brought over color samples for us to look at. His crew always arrived early and worked hard throughout the day. They were very detail oriented and did not cut corners. They were also very polite and helpful. Our house literally looks 20 years newer. The results were much better than we had expected. We?re proud of our house and the neighbors like the new look, too.
"Relief Windows did a wonderful job on my siding. They came by for the bid, did measurements and they started a couple weeks sooner than they had anticipated. The guys knew what they were doing and once they were completed with the job, they cleaned up 100% of the debris. I would definitely recommend them if you are replacing your siding"
Traditional clapboard siding, particularly with panels made from wood, is not a significant insulator on its own. However, you can keep your home cooler in summer and warmer with "insulated clapboard siding," which is a type of vinyl clapboard siding with a built-in foam insulation. Consult a local siding contractor to determine whether insulated siding is right for your home.
Vinyl siding will fade slowly over time but will likely be most noticeable starting 10–15 years after installation. This timeline varies based on factors such as the climate where you live. In areas with more extreme hot or cold conditions, vinyl is likely to fade more quickly.
Wood siding requires an air gap behind it to allow water to drain out, and for air circulation and venting to allow humid air to escape and keep the material from rotting due to moisture.
You should use a siding nail gun for siding installation, but if you don’t have one you can use a framing nailer instead, if the nails are long enough to firmly attach to the clapboard siding. However, framing requires longer nails that join lumber together. In that instance, siding nails will not be enough.
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.
