Q: What do you put under aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It&rsquo;s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.</p></div>

Q: What’s under aluminum siding?

• <div><p>Many people remove aluminum siding to get to the wood underneath, allowing them to paint, stain, or finish the wood to give the home a brand-new aesthetic. With that in mind, you find plywood and related types of wood underneath aluminum siding, but you also run into fiber cement board, strand board, and a diverse array of other building materials. It depends on the original design of the house. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t wrap a house before installing siding?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion&mdash;local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority. </p></div>

Q: What are the signs my house needs repointing?

• <div><p>The telltale signs that your home is ready for repointing include visibly damaged bricks, crumbling bricks, flaking bricks, loose mortar, cracked mortar, gaps between brick and mortar, leaking inside your home, and visible water damage. Consider repointing when going over <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-brick-homes.htm">brick house pros and cons</a> if you're buying a new home. Repointing is also a good idea if you plan to paint, acid wash, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-brick-staining-cost.htm">stain your brick home</a>, as it will give you a good base for coloration and prevent repairs after the work is done.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of paint for vinyl siding?

• <div><p>The best type of paint for vinyl siding is a high-quality acrylic latex paint, often labeled as '100% acrylic.' This type of paint is lightweight and adheres well to the vinyl surface, which reduces the likelihood of it peeling or flaking. For best results, apply two coats and avoid using thick paint. The color choice is also important; select a light color to prevent the paint from absorbing excess heat, which helps extend the durability of your paint job.</p></div>

It was easy to contact, easy to schedule a date, installer was knowledgeable and did a great job. Removed my old door, installed my used door and used opener (didn't have an opener before). Good pricing, but most of all great job installing, especially all my used parts and unlevel concrete.

"Excellent professionals! We truly appreciate Miller’s honest professional who let us know that we would not need a new roof for two to five years. We will call upon Miller’s in the future to assess the status of the roof and use them when it is time to replace the roof. And we will recommend Miller’s to others. Such refreshing honesty seems rare lately. Big thanks!"
