"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."
"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."
"Valerie the siding need help the siding was missing in some spots the bathroom has a leak or to needs new tub. Valerie was wonderfully and true with me from start to finish"
"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."

You have several options you can choose from for climbing plants without damaging your siding. Climbing hydrangea and Carolina jessamine are two options, and jasmine, honeysuckle, and sweet pea are a few others. Look for these climbing plants to add lovely curb appeal and are less likely to cause damage to your siding.
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’s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion—local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority.
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.
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.
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.
