"All Craft Exteriors did a phenomenal job on our house. They tore off the cedar siding, made repairs where needed, wrapped, and installed new siding, gutters, and a new patio door. We are thrilled with the professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness of everyone from All Craft Exteriors who worked on our project. Mike is an awesome, no-pressure salesman who presented options and ideas, yet was gracious when we chose not to invest in new windows. He exuded enthusiasm, service, and knowledge throughout. We trusted him and his experience, and rightly so. We love the end results and the color combos! Brothers Shane and Tyler were an incredible team who worked tirelessly on the siding project. They were efficient, friendly, helpful, always took time to answer our questions, and produced excellent results – we love our ‘new’ house! Shane and Tyler were organized, productive, worked so well as a team, and conscientious of the details in their skilled work and the cleanup. We highly recommend All Craft Exteriors for your next project!"
"From the Sales Rep Adam to the job site Forman Julio right down to the project manager Anthony they all where polite professional and honest. The sales rep Adam was honest and upfront about everything he didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need. He also pointed out that if we went to slider windows instead of double hung windows it would save us a ton of money. I had gotten 3 quotes before choosing river valley. High end 49k from one company to the lowest 17k. I picked River Valley out of West Salem WI. They fell in the middle range of around 24k. I had 22 windows that needed to be taken out and replaced, they finished it in 1 day. Julio the job site Forman was so professional and honest about everything, he pointed out what he though might not be up to my standards and gave me options on how they could fix it, they used drop cloths to make sure nothing hit my floors, the cleaned up afterwards and made sure it was to our liking, he showed us how the windows worked and how to take the screens out and put them back in. They caused Zero damage to my siding. They cleaned the windows before they left and also offered to put all my curtains back up for us. I didn't want my old blinds so he even took them with them as well so I didn't have to get rid of them. They worked late so they could finish the job in 1 day, they took there breaks separately so 2 of them where working at all times. Anthony the project manager called me the day after to make sure everything was to my liking, he was polite and professional and he wanted to make sure the crew did their job. My advice to anyone who needs new windows don't waste your time with any other company River Valley is the way to go, you won't be disappointed and they offer financing that was 4 percent cheaper then what my bank was offering and I have a credit score of 737, and I didn't have to take out a second morgage on my home."
"I contacted Kent K @ priority inquiring a quote on my roof/shingles. He was very prompt to return my call and schedule on my appointment. Kent is very knowledgeable of the products and excellent at explaining how the insurance companies worked with him and the company. The crew that did the work was very professional and did a great job! I would definitely use/recommend priority to any one heading construction or shingle work done. All the way great company!"

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

Yes, you can install siding over stucco, but it's crucial to ensure the stucco is in good condition first. Before proceeding, inspect the stucco for any signs of damage, leaks, or mold growth. If you discover water damage, mold, or have ongoing leak issues, it's recommended to remove the stucco completely. This step prevents future problems like mold and pest infestations and allows a professional to repair or replace any damaged sheathing underneath. If the stucco is sound, the installation process involves attaching furring strips to the wall's framing directly through the stucco. The new siding is then installed onto these furring strips. A professional may also need to adjust window and door openings to prevent them from being recessed behind the new siding, which can cause aesthetic issues and create potential leak points.
Yes, vinyl siding can be installed over existing materials in some cases, assuming the underlying structure is sound and the installation will not cause moisture issues.
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 brick house pros and cons if you're buying a new home. Repointing is also a good idea if you plan to paint, acid wash, or stain your brick home, as it will give you a good base for coloration and prevent repairs after the work is done.
Wood siding requires that air can circulate behind it and that water can drain away if necessary. Your home needs a water-restrictive barrier underneath furring strips to achieve the air and water gap.
Composite siding is very resistant to warping that can affect some other sidings. Because of its composition, this siding doesn’t have the same risks of moisture damage that can cause rotting, buckling, and warping. Composite material doesn’t warp in high temperatures the way some kinds of vinyl siding can.
That said, composite siding is not entirely immune from moisture damage. It should still be properly installed so that moisture can properly drain from behind the siding, and protected by eaves and clean gutter so the siding doesn’t get repeatedly soaked by rain, which could lead to damage.
