"I highly recommend Pro Warrior Construction. Yann and his crew did a fabulous job installing the gorgeous Hardie board siding and the ceiling strapping on the back porch. Our house looks completely brand new! The workers show up on time and work hard. I couldn’t be happier with the workmanship. Pro Warrior is the way to go!"

"It was pleasure dealing with Mike from All Weather Exteriors and the Alside siding installation crew. They all delivered on their commitments in timely and professional manner. The Alside crew were some of the hardest working installers I have every used. They did an excellent job and responded quickly to any of my requests. The project came off with without a hitch and they did a good job of cleaning up afterword. I highly recommend All Weather Exteriors for siding purchase and installation."

"The crews did a fine job removing worn cedar siding and installing new Everlast composite siding onto one side of my home. My issue is with the project management. The contract was written to install new siding to match the profile configuration of the remaining walls, namely 4-1/2â . On the day the crew began to install the new Everlast I had something to do in the morning and did not arrive home until after the crew had already begun to install the Everlast. The moisture barrier had been installed, which was fine, but to my shock, the siding that they were installing was 6-7/8â Everlast and not 4-1/2â . Fortunately they had only installed two courses at that point. The workers contacted the project manager and stopped work. The explanation I was given was that the warehouse sent the wrong siding (I find that unlikely. More likely the wrong siding was ordered by United). Fast forward a full week, the correct siding was delivered. Keep in mind that it was necessary to have Solar Panel electrical meters removed in order to facilitate the new siding install. During the down time I was not generating any solar electricity so time was money, in this case. When the project was originally scoped out by the on-site appraiser, I mentioned that there was an area where the plywood sheathing had rotted, due to rain getting under a carriage light. He assured me that replacing bad sheathing was all part of the job. I also mentioned this to the project manager when he came out to my home prior to work beginning. I even wrote a reminder note, with a magic marker, on the old siding at the area that needed the sheathing replaced. Well despite my best efforts, the rotted sheathing was not removed and the new siding was installed over that rotted sheathing. I knew there was a problem when I pushed against the mounting pad for the carriage light and it was wobbly. The crew had attempted to anchor the mounting pad using screws, instead of nails, but of course they were just screwing into rotted plywood. When I spoke to the project manager I told him I did not want any siding removed to address the plywood issue. I told him that I would personally attempt to correct the mounting pad problem by working from inside the garage interior wall. Per my request he agreed that United would lower the price of the job from $13,300 to $13,000 to reimburse me for my time to correct the problem. Well, my credit card was charged for the full $13,300. I left a voice mail with the project manager and asked him to correct the credit card charge. Itâ s now been two weeks and my credit card has not been credited with the $300 correction. The other day I spent about three hours fixing the mounting pad by securing it to the interior sheet rock. The new carriage light is now firmly installed. IN CONSLUSION: If you choose to go with United Home Experts I strongly recommend that you consistently keep an eye on their work during all phases of the project and do not use a credit card to pay but instead write out check(s)."

Siding questions, answered by experts

There are several highly durable types of siding that you can build right on top of without removing it, with wood being one of them, provided it's in excellent condition. However, a common reason for siding replacement is to eliminate materials that are in poor condition, making installing new wood siding over old not recommended. Additionally, the cost of adding siding over existing siding can increase costs to between $7 and $13 per square foot.

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.

If you’re wondering how to clean clapboard siding, the approach depends on its material and condition. Siding in good shape may need only light soap and spray from the hose, while older siding often requires more thorough treatment. For serious cleaning, power washing can remove caked-on dirt, but you should consider hiring a professional to avoid causing damage in the process.

The lifespan of siding ranges from 20 to over 100 years, depending heavily on the material, climate, quality of installation, and maintenance.

  • Vinyl, Wood, and Aluminum: Typically last 20 to 40 years. Engineered wood may need replacement after just 20 years.

  • Fiber Cement: Lasts around 50 years.

  • Brick and Stone: These are the most durable, lasting for a century or more with proper care.

The longevity of any siding can be shortened if it's not properly maintained or if damage is not repaired promptly. Regular cleaning is vital. It's time for a replacement when you see widespread damage, signs of water intrusion, or a spike in energy costs.

To clean painted aluminum siding, use a mixture of mild detergent and water applied with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose to remove soap residue. For stubborn stains, cleaning aluminum siding with a power washer on a low-pressure setting can be effective. But avoid using high pressure, which could damage the paint.
