"Ill give a little backstory. This was our first experience with storm damage and dealing with the Insurance claim nightmare. Capitol Siding, Windows & Roofing helped us newbies with the whole process. Their work is excellent, and they are super easy to communicate with and responsive. I will definitely come back to them with any future work I need done . Thanks Capitol Siding Team for making this a smooth and painless experience."
"Eagle Siding was great! They were communicative, diligent, and transparent. They did a phenomenal job with our siding - we’re still getting compliments. Highly recommend!"
"Impressive work! Ideal Siding did a great job removing our 50 year-old siding and making the place look new again with their installation. Great group to work with!!!"
"We had an insurance claim to replace our siding as it was storm damaged. From the first phone call I made to him, Scott from Lakewoods Remodeling was incredibly helpful. He was so knowledgeable and experienced with the entire insurance claim process and was always a step ahead. He was also so experienced with different types of siding and was able to lay out all the options in a simple manner without any pressure to up-sell and gave us great advice regarding color choice taking into consideration how we had to match the roof, soffits, fascia and brick. All of the work was done perfectly, with great attention to detail. It was very efficient and it was immediately cleaned up upon completion. Scott also helped us by noticing issues with our gutters and how cable is hooked up to our house and helped us fix these issues. They were not related to his work but he gave us guidance on how to fix them even though it gave him no benefit. At every step he and his crew were completely thorough, responsive, professional and just a pleasure to work with. We would definitely use them again."
"They performed a complete residing with James Hardie product. I had 4 companies I asked for estimates. From the minute I met Alex I had a feeling he was going to win this job. He followed up with everything I asked regarding questions and the location of prior siding jobs they had done. The crew was so professional and worked together seamlessly . Every time I interacted with one of them I was impressed with their professionalism and friendliness. I definitely would refer my friends and neighbors to use this company. Actually, the work speaks for itself as I have never met so many of my neighbors before. Instead of the usual friendly wave, they are introducing themselves and asking about my siding. A great experience."
"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!"
"I hired Joe (owner) and his team to replace my old masonsite siding with new vinyl, and install new gutters. Joe was transparent from our first interaction and listened to what I wanted. When they started the job I was surprised to see Joe helping his crew and working alongside his team, making sure everything was done perfectly. His team was professional, efficient, and very accommodating always asking permission if they could stay late, come early, or if I was okay if they stopped by on the weekend. Even with rain they worked quickly and made me feel like a priority. With my house being old there were a few things I didn’t prepare for, such as crumbling brick but Joe was quick to call it out and offer a solution at a reasonable cost. So glad I chose TD Roofing and Remodeling, very happy with how my house looks!"

"Jaredâ s team did great work, and Jared was responsive and timely throughout the process. Envelope when I had a question months after the siding was installed, Jared came out immediately and helped me out."
"Great Company. We originally reached out to Craftman's Choice after seeing their State Fair display Ben took the time to undertand our situation regarding an insurance exterior siding job that was underway. He provided very helpful information on what to expect and what to look for in proper Hardy installation. We learned a lot, James Hardy siding is a fantastic product but must be installed properly. Many companies install James Hardy siding but not all companies correctly install James Hardy products. The sheer willingness to help us understand more about the benefits and installation processes with James Hardie speaks volumes about Craftsman's Choice and their concern for the customer experience and overall satisfaction."
The biggest con of insulated vinyl siding is that it’s more expensive than traditional vinyl siding. If you’re hoping to save costs on your siding project, you’ll have better luck finding budget-friendly vinyl siding, which can cost as little as $2 per square foot, installed.
Siding underlayment varies based on the type of material, but most siding is installed on top of a vapor barrier, a moisture-resistant house wrap, sheathing made from plywood or oriented strand board (OSB), and a layer of insulation sheeting. Having the correct underlayment is a critical part of properly installing siding and will protect your home from water intrusion, structural damage, and energy loss.
You should consider acclimating the wood for your shou sugi ban siding for around two weeks before installation to balance its moisture content and prevent warping. That additional step will ensure your materials are prepped for installation, avoiding complex repairs down the line. Consult your siding contractor for additional installation instructions for this specialized material.
This is a tricky answer because how fast you work, how large your team is, and what type of siding you install will all determine your total time. One person placing bricks around an entire house can take weeks, but a team of 10 could complete the job in just a few days. Installing siding is a job that’s best done by a pro, as they are experienced and will perform solid work. A rough guideline for DIYers is to budget 15 minutes per square foot of siding.
Avoid toxic chemicals that can leach into nearby lawns, as well as household ingredients like vinegar that can ruin paint and sealants. Instead, look for a very light detergent or a dedicated exterior siding cleaner. In a pinch, you can use a basic dish or laundry soap, but we suggest sticking with a dedicated cleaner.
If your siding is struggling with algae or moss, which indicates moisture issues, look for an outdoor cleaner that’s specifically designed to clear moss and algae stains. This is also a sign that you need to seal your clapboard against further problems.
