"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

Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it’s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

While any dark color of vinyl is likely to fade, dark red and dark brown vinyl tend to fade faster and more noticeably compared with other dark colors. White is the color least likely to fade, but it will show stains, mildew, and dirt more prominently than darker colors.

Homeowners insurance may cover the cost of siding repair or replacement, but coverage depends on the cause of the damage. Most policies will cover damage from a covered event, such as a storm, wind, hail, fire, natural disaster, or other impact damage. Your policy might pay for the full or partial cost of the repair or replacement. However, damage resulting from age, general wear and tear, or neglect is typically not covered, and you should expect to pay for those repairs out of pocket. It is best to review your specific homeowners insurance policy for full details on what is covered, how to file a claim, and what documentation is required.

Vinyl log siding is durable, rot-resistant, colorfast, and scratch-resistant, and it can last for an average of around 30 years. Some vinyl siding can last for up to 60 years with proper maintenance. You won’t need to repaint or restain this type of siding every several years like you would with wood, so ongoing costs and upkeep will be minimal. Although it’s relatively low maintenance, you should still wash your vinyl log siding twice per year. Doing so will increase its longevity, remove any mold, and retain your home’s curb appeal.
