"We did a fair amount of looking around for this work and Envirobate was the simplest and easiest to work with, ranging from scheduling an estimate to scheduling the work, to getting a fair price. Other service providers either gave us lung cancer scare tactics with high prices or couldn't seem to manage their calendar. Our estimate was very competitive and they seemed lik a quality company. We had the work done in two separate pieces since we needed to move everything in the basement to one side. Note: they will move minor things, but they do not unhook major appliances (like our gas dryer), which we needed to do ourselves. They were very careful to cover everything and used a giant air filtration machine. It was somewhat noisy. The guys were talking to each other and listening to the radio. It's definitely a messy job and I'm glad they seemed comfortable with handling the materials in that environment. The orange smell from the mastic remover was very strong. When I lit my kitchen's gas stove, it smelled funny which worried me. The orange smell lasted for weeks so be sure to ventilate as much as possible. I gave a couple B ratings because, as a consumer living with asbestos, I wanted a little more comfort that this stuff was really GONE from my home. While they seemed relaxed about it, I almost wanted more reassurance that the process they used was safe for my health during and also after once all the protective plastic was gone. However, I know asbestos abatement certification is required and they must be fully trained to be employed in this business. Overall, I'm thankful the tiles are gone, the price was fair, and the process simple. I would recommend them to anyone needing this work done at a reasonable rate."
"Troy and Mike installed a replacement fence on two sides of our backyard. They did an excellent job especially considering the cold temps and semi-frozen ground. The fence looks great and we hope to have them back next year to do the third side! Thanks for the great work guys!"
"I would not recommend them. The morning after a hail storm hit they told us that if we let them put a sign in our yard that they would pay our insurance deductible. Communicating to the employees was very difficult, and they were not able to meet our request. They didn’t pay our deductible after all; they took $500.00 off our final bill instead. We won’t be hiring them to do anymore work for us. They told us that they knew the siding on our house was discontinued, because they were the ones that did it five years ago. They said that since it was discontinued, we could get new siding on our whole house, but they were unable to fulfill that offer. They said a lot of the things we wanted to hear, but was unable to provide the services. They got a lot of work from everybody in our neighborhood due to the storm, and we believed that because they were a local company they would do honest work, but that wasn’t the case.
UPDATE!!
After using Angies List the provider wanted to make it right with us. The owner himself came and finished up some things that were not finished in the first time around and fixed other wear and tear on our siding from the last couple years at no cost. He apologized for the service we received 2+ years ago and said it will never happen again. The original salesman that lied to us at the beginning of all of this was fired and no long works at Lacina. "

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.
Not wrapping a house before installing siding can lead to moisture intrusion, rot, mold, and even higher energy bills. Older houses may have siding installed without wrap underneath, so it’s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion—local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority.
Clapboard siding is traditionally made of wood, and is one of the most common types of wood siding in North America. When people talk about wood siding, they are usually talking about clapboard siding. However, not all wood siding is in the clapboard style: It can be tongue-and-groove, shake, and other designs. Also, clapboard siding can sometimes be made of different materials, like vinyl or fiber cement, so the terms are not interchangeable.
The clapboard exposure, also called the reveal, refers to the amount of clapboard visible in the siding. Clapboards always overlap slightly, but some overlap more than others. The exposure is the vertical measurement of the board that remains visible as the clapboard is installed.
When repairing clapboard siding, it’s important that you match the exposure of your current clapboards. You may want to take a measurement of the specific exposure on your siding for reference in repairs.
While insulated vinyl siding has one of the highest R-values out there, there are a few alternatives worth considering. When paired with a layer of insulation, manufactured stone veneer has an R-value of 4.5. Composite siding also provides good insulation with an R-value of 2 to 4.
