"Innovative Home Improvement is hands down the best contractor I've hired. They are professional, courteous, and hard working. I asked four different contractors to submit quotes for the job and Paul came back with a price at or below the others, but quoted premium insulated vinyl siding where as the others quoted regular siding. Paul's team, Mr. Jung and Alex are tireless workers, even working weekends when weather took the weekdays away. The previous owners had new siding put on as a part of "flipping" the house 5 years ago. However, the contractors they hired did not repair the rotted out, molded, and left holes everywhere. They also failed to add house wrap, which created an even more hazardous living condition for my family. Paul's team used over 70 pieces of plywood to fix the house and never once complained about the extra work. They made sure things were done right for us. 10 stars for Innovative! Thanks for your hard work"
"The project was to remove our 50+ year old aluminum siding and replace it with new vinyl siding. Since there are so many choices in style and color we took advantage of the online program that allowed up to see the styles and colors applied to our own home (you need to send them images of the front and back of the house and they create online, modifiable images). The work was performed by Mr. Jung and his assistant. For our smallish house (2 story, 24x24 ft) it took 17 days. After removing the siding they found another layer of cedar siding underneath that they talked me into removing so that they could put down a nice clean layer of plywood. The install of the new window frames and siding took a lot of fastidious, detail work that Mr. Jung excels at, It is not a process that I would want anyone who is not patient and conscientious to do,. Mr Jung worked 17 straight days through sun, rain, wind and snow. The workman shop is 5/5. The price I give 5/5.0 because, even though the price went up 80% over the :contract price, the increases for unknown contingencies - window frames, and underlying siding remove/replace seemed fair enough. The finished house looks splendid and adds tons street value. Our neighbors keep telling us how good it looks."
"There's nothing worse that dealing with pooring rain and strong winds and then hearing the drip, drip sound of water coming into your home due to a damaged roof. I reached out to roofing repair companies through Angie's list and Roofing Pups responded. Marcus came out the next day and put my fears at ease. The bad news was that I needed a new roof. He showed me my options available, categorized as "good", "better" and "best". Despite my choosing the lowest option, he still threw in some discounts and upgrades at no additional cost. I signed the contract and he arranged for someone to come out at tarp my roof. He even went the extra mile of going to Home Depot and setting up buckets in my attic to catch the water still coming in. The roofing crew came out two days later and gave me a beautiful new roof. They then meticulously cleaned the area. It was great working with Roofing Pups. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend!"
"Friendly crew. They were ontime and professional. Job sites was spotless after the job and the end result is wonderful. Will be reaching out for siding from the HG in the spring."
"Two shingles, which were improperly installed by the homebuilder, fell off the roof just before the remnants of a tropical storm came through. In addition, I was aware that the rubber seals on the plumbing vent roof flashings was deteriorating and needed to be fixed or replaced. I called Georgia at Spicer Brothers on a Thursday morning, and explained the urgency of my situation with the coming heavy rains. She worked with their projects manager to send a crew out that day. The repairmen who responded were experienced, and not only fixed the fallen shingles but also identified that surrounding shingles had been nailed improperly. They re-nailed several surrounding shingles and applied adhesive to reinforce the area as best as possible. The crew also installed permaboots over the plumbing vent flashings to prevent leaks. I was very happy with the service and price seemed reasonable, especially since they had to pull a crew off another job to respond to my emergency. I would definitely use them again for repairs and will look to them when it comes time to replace the roof. "
"Fantastic roof job. Very careful- we have not found a single nail in our yard, flowerbeds were covered and they were careful not to damage them.. Fast- Erick showed up the day I called for a quote, and then the day of service they were in by 7:30 and out by about 3:30. Very fair price- 3 got three quotes and Erick's was the lowest but offered exact same service. Good- the roof looks great, flashing well done, everything even and smooth. Would definitely recommend them. The only lesson I learned? And this is just an FYI, nothing to do with Canales- If you have stuff in your attic, I recommend covering it with a tarp. The old asphalt roof grit falls in the old nail holes and makes a mess."
"We needed some quick fixes to get our house ready to sell. They did a great job on schedule for a great price. Just wish response time was a little faster but we were very happy with how everything came together."

Contrary to popular belief, people still do use aluminum siding for their homes—but it’s much less popular than it was in the mid-1900s. The introduction of various types of vinyl siding as an affordable option reduced the demand for aluminum, which is prone to scratching and denting and needs to be repainted every five to 10 years. Given the abundance of house siding options, especially newer and more popular types like stone veneer siding, aluminum siding has simply just fallen out of favor.
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.
You can put new siding over clapboards, but it’s not recommended. Some sidings, like vinyl siding, can go over clapboards with sheathing like a foam layer in between. However, it’s best to remove clapboard siding if you plan on replacing it with new siding. Burying wood clapboards underneath new siding can create risks of rot and mold, or hidden insect damage. It can also create warping issues over time. Removing clapboards allows you to properly install a new sheathing, as well as clean up the exterior wall and look for any signs of damage.
You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.
Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.
Dents, rust, loose panels, and weather-related damage are common problems requiring repair.
