"Excellent job by the All Craft crew re-siding my house. Extremely high quality work by a steady, pleasant, professional crew that showed up every day until the job was done. It was a very pleasant experience and my house looks great."
"We found MN Building Contractors at the Rochester home show. The bid was comparable to the 8 contractors who bid. Bill offered suggestions and options we felt would improve the overall appearance, which is why we choose him. We had new windows, storm doors, siding, facia, soffit and gutter installed. His crews were professional, on time and did excellent work and cleaned up very well. Everything was completed in a timely manor. There were a few minor issues Bill addressed quickly and personally. Bill communicated well from bidding to completion, so we always knew what and who to expect and when. Working with Bill was like working with a friend. I would strongly suggest him as your next contractor."
"We liked that they worked with out insurance company to get the most bang for our buck. Workers were very friendly. They took the time to make sure the house looked just the way it should. It looked way better than the last time we sided it."

"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."
Vinyl, brick veneer, stucco, steel, stone veneer, and composite siding are popular alternatives to wood siding. Which siding material is best for your home boils down to your budget, aesthetics, lifestyle, and climate. For example, stone veneer offers a timeless charm and is low maintenance but may have too high of a price tag. Meanwhile, some homeowners love vinyl siding for its low cost, while others dislike it for its appearance and shorter life span.
Cracked mortar, loose bricks, water damage, and efflorescence (white powdery deposits) are common problems.
You should install your cedar shake siding with the rough side exposed. The smooth side is less resistant to weathering over the years, and the rough side gives your home a more rugged aesthetic. The rough side also takes to paint better and ensures any paint job will last longer before needing to be redone.
There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home’s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap—all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.
DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures weatherproofing, insulation, and proper fastening.
