"Kevin did excellent work, on time, and at a very reasonable price. We had extensive woodpecker damage to the wood siding on our cabin at Mille Lacs. Kevin recommended seamless steel siding, sent us a color wheel, scheduled us in a reasonable period of time after we agreed to hire him, started and finished on time. Excellent fit and finish on our new siding, fascia boards, and soffits. Good clean up. Kevin found some rot in the studs supporting our lakeside windows. After a phone discussion, he replaced the studs and the windows the next day, picking up materials in Brainerd on the way to our property. They look great. Can't go wrong with Kevin."
"It was good. I contacted 7 roofers and he's the only that got back to me. They communicated well and willing to work if there's any changes. The workers showed up time, they were fast, efficient, and clean."
"Work good, but went thru a bunch of BS getting it done. Had 2 sides of garage re-sided & new gutters installed - not a big job. Had to be home 3 times after the 1st measurement for them to come re-measure then NO advance notice of when the job was to be done. Came home to find supplies in driveway & message on home phone they would start the next day. This was WEEKS before the start date we were told & we hadn't cleared out the garage yet. We also weren't going to be home the next day so had to call & postpone installation since we had to clean out the garage that night & someone needed to be home to lock our 3 dogs in the house (one that bites) and unlock the gate so the guys could get to the job. The guys who did the actual work were great and the finished project fine, so you decide if you want to use this firm or not. And one more thing - they hired a perfect salesman (I've worked with salesmen for over 40 years) & he pulled the old "let me get my manager on the phone" routine when I balked at the quoted price, and his manager instantly dropped the price $2,000 to what it should have been in the first place. Again, this was my experience so you decide if you want to hire them or not. Also, both the siding and the gutters were sub-contracted out which is fine, but DaBella themselves didn't do the work."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Increasing home value and return on investment (ROI) are two different things and it’s important to differentiate between the two. While a kitchen remodel will surely raise the value of the house, it may only have an ROI of around 50%. Homeowners looking to raise the value of their home for sale will have to consider how much they will recoup by the monetary investment in projects, as the ROI percentages may be lower or higher than the added value on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
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.
Professional installers typically recommend caulking between siding boards, but it depends on the material. With Hardie board and fiber cement siding, manufacturers don't recommend adding caulk because it can trap moisture in the joints or discourage flexibility in fluctuating temperatures. Consult your local siding contractor about caulking best practices before adding any to your home’s exterior.
Stucco siding is the most energy-efficient option on its own, but you can choose insulated vinyl, insulated metal, or insulated brick or stone facade siding that improves energy efficiency even further. These options include a layer of foam insulation under the siding to reduce heat transfer between your living space and the exterior. If you live in a particularly sunny climate, a reflective option like insulated steel or aluminum siding can maximize efficiency.
Yes, vertical and horizontal siding both come in the same materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and engineered wood. The material you choose can significantly affect your siding’s overall price, lifespan, insulation properties, and maintenance costs.
