"Let me start off by saying this was the best experience that my husband and I had with a business since we have started working on our home projects! I am glad to say when I see a smile on my husband face, just after the first window was put in, letâ s s just say I knew I had the right business with the right people. I cannot begin to brag about the process of my project from start to finish enough! First I met Josh who was kind and considerate and took his time explaining the process of windows and the different ways I could have them done! On time and not in a hurry, letâ s just say I was pleased that he did not rush the process. Then I met another man by the name of Bill, I was actually surprised that the owner takes the time to come out and make sure all the measurements are corrected and made sure I knew what I was getting and if that was what I was expecting! Service is all I can sayð Lynda who is the receptionist who always and I mean always had a smile in here voice know matter what was going on, is a nice way to wake up to saying your materials are here and letâ s get it done! My heroes though at the end of the day weâ re definitely hands down, Mike and Troy! These two men are amazing I mean really amazing! They are kind in every way and let just say they know how to rock those windows!ð , Mike and Troy are always welcome back to my home anytime if it is a job they are doing or just simply passing through to say hello. They made the end of this process absolutely flawless. Anyone can put a smile on my husband face just after putting in one window is a winner in my book anytime. Mike and Troy work ethic is unbelievable, I have not seen anyone take pride in what they do in such a long time it made my heart melt letâ s just say I love them to the moon and back! Just let me say this, if you are looking for a place of business that has the full package for all your home projects you need to be calling Minnesota First choice hands ð down! Thanks to all of you for caring for us like we were family, instead of just seeing us as a customer with just an order. We will definitely use you again for an update home projects hands down!"

Siding questions, answered by experts

Though vinyl siding is affordable, the material may not last as long or look as good as other siding materials. For example, wood siding has a beautiful, natural appearance but requires much more maintenance to keep your siding looking as good as new. 

Fiber cement siding is another alternative that mimics the appearance of wood siding. Like vinyl siding, fiber cement is a low-maintenance material, but it does come at a higher price and is heavier and more difficult to install. Weigh the pros and cons of all siding materials before you decide on the best option for your home.

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.

Siding is one of your home’s first lines of defense against extreme weather. If you fail to repair or replace your damaged siding, your home is exposed to wind, snow, and rain—all of which can cause structural damage. Repairing your home’s structure will be much more costly and be a much bigger headache than simply keeping your siding in tip-top shape, so don’t delay—fix your siding ASAP.

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.

Siding pros typically charge by the square foot when providing estimates for siding projects. They’ll take the material cost and add in an estimated labor fee, and some contractors will include an additional upcharge to account for profit, waste, and unexpected issues. Another important price factor your pro will consider is the quality of your home’s current siding, which they’ll need to remove, and your home’s sheathing. If pros have to make any additional repairs to your home’s exterior, the added labor will also influence your final siding cost.
