"The overall experience we had with Capital Siding Window (CSW) was fantastic! We had some hail damage from the May 2022 storm, both roofing, siding, gutters and window wraps. After speaking with our insurance company, we contacted CSW on getting the work completed. They helped find additional damage not discovered by our insurance and went above and beyond in getting all the work estimated and covered by our insurance. The communication with Jeff and Danny throughout has been excellent. The quality of the work delivered has also been excellent. Especially want to call out the siding crew - very friendly, professional, and quite obvious they take pride in their work. The next time I need a roof, siding, windows, etc., I'm absolutely calling CSW!!!"
"We were very pleased with the work done by Lakewood. They gave a quick response to all of our questions and took time to help us pick out a color for the shingles to match our siding and front door. Workers arrived on time and completed the roof in one day and the gutters in a second day. We would certainly hire them again and recommend them."
"From start to finish working with Twin Cities Siding Professionals was awesome! They really made the process easy which we greatly appreciated. I was impressed by the cleanup around the yard every day, the responsiveness and willingness to answer any and all questions. We got new siding and also needed to paint brick and get new gutters, all of which TCSP helped with, it was one smooth process even though there were multiple parts to the whole project. The final result is incredible, it looks like we have a new home!"
"Eagle siding was perfect all the way around. Our home was built in 1972 and the original siding was shot. We went with new LP siding, a new roof, one new window, two sliding doors, and gutters. It was a major project, but totally worth it in the end. Brandon, and Rick contacted us and kept us informed throughout the entire process. They were very flexible with our needs and requests, even when we made some changes with custom colors and shingles. The crews were all very professional, respectful, clean, and timely. We had no issues and no complaints. Their siding crew is EXCELLENT. All of the garbage was swept and picked up daily, and all the work was completed in the timelines that we were given. I am very thankful for the Eagle Siding staff and their work, and have no regrets about our remodel! Our house looks brand new and I'm so glad we decided to go with a smaller, locally owned company. Do not hesitate to use them!"
"I am giving my rep, Raul, a 5 star rating. I am about to take the plunge and have my house re-sided for the first time ever! My home is 116 yrs old and has only been painted several times over the original wood. However, paint no longer will fix what is happening underneath, with dry rot, aging, etc., so my only option is to have it re-sided & almost start from scratch. I met with Raul, who is "awesome", to say the least. He is knowledgeable, explains everything to a "T" and is so down-to-earth. My old "farm" house is 2 stories, plus a walk-up attic, so this would have cost me a fortune as there is a lot of "territory" to be covered. It still is going to cost me a fortune, but Raul covered every crook & cranny to cut my costs immensely to make it affordable. I am so grateful for his assistance. Now, for the actual removal of the old wood and installation of the new siding...I may have to write another "review" when that actually happens...(to be continued!)."
"Had a great experience with Bruce and Shane. Highly communicative and clear - went above and beyond to check for siding issues around the entire exterior of the house after repairing the issue that we noticed. Would absolutely hire again."
"I recently had my roof replaced by eRoof LLC. Aaron Chouinard was very helpful in working with my insurance company, who had denied my claim twice before. The job took only two days and the workers led by their foreman Edgar, did an excellent job on both the roof and some siding that needed replacement as well. Cleanup was perfect. I highly recommend eRoof LLC and give them 5 stars out of 5"
"Working with the teams that completed the actual work on my new siding, roof, and gutters were great! However, dealing with the sales managers in the office was incredibly disappointing. I was told my contract was *all inclusive* when I signed, yet my drip edges were not replaced and then I was told that they were not in the contract. Then my gutters needed an additional 25 that was not in the contract. An additional $250 later, and all was done. No concessions, no apologies for their mistakes."
"I had a large piece of aluminum siding come off in a storm. Keyprime was very responsive and very easy to work with. They did an excellent job and the price for the work was fair. I would hire them again!"
"River Valley and there crews(Anthony, Nate, Jason, Dayne, Matt, Cole, Paul, Robert, and Billy) did a great job. Their installers were respectful, friendly, and hard working. Work was done in a timely manner and done very well. Working on an old house brought some challenges which were addressed effectively."
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.
No, you don’t need to use the same siding around the entire home. Using different siding for different walls can actually increase the soft value of your home. Many homeowners opt to add vinyl siding on the sides of their home not facing the street, opting for higher-end siding materials like stone or wood for the front of the house. Stone veneer siding can be a cost-effective option for homeowners who like the appearance of stone, but not the cost.
If you buy new cedar, the process of cutting it usually roughs up the surface enough that it doesn’t require sanding. However, if you buy older cedar or you’re repurposing it from another application, it’s a good idea to sand it. This helps the stain settle into the grain, and results in a more uniform appearance.
Concrete log siding is not the same as fiber cement siding. Fiber cement siding is made from a mixture of cement and cellulose fibers, while GFRC is made from cement, glass fibers, and polymers. The materials are similar in their durability, longevity, and curb appeal, and the main difference is that concrete log siding is available in more styles that resemble traditional log siding. Fiber cement is also less expensive, with materials costing around half what you’d pay for concrete log siding.
Yes, the thickness of siding is an important factor to consider when replacing it. Siding thickness helps to determine how your home retains and redirects heat. While thicker siding has a premium price, it offers greater strength and durability, stronger insulation, better wind and weather resistance, increased rigidity, and better soundproofing.
