"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."

Hardie board is more expensive than vinyl siding. Vinyl siding costs $3 to $12 per square foot, on average, with cost skewing toward the lower end of that range. Hardie board siding costs $7 to $18 per square foot, depending on the style, color, and trim. However, it lasts twice as long and often looks nicer, meaning you’ll see a higher bump in your home value and greater curb appeal from Hardie board.
Vinyl siding is the cheapest option in terms of upfront costs. The average cost to install vinyl siding is around $12,173, with certain types like vinyl shake, clapboard, or dutch lap costing as little as $2 to $3 per square foot. While vinyl is very low-cost, it may not last as long as natural materials or metal, with a typical lifespan of 20 to 40 years. In contrast, metal siding is more expensive initially but can save you money in the long run due to its longer lifespan, which is often double that of vinyl. It's recommended to consult a siding professional to determine if the lowest-cost option is the best material for your specific home.
Vinyl siding will fade slowly over time but will likely be most noticeable starting 10–15 years after installation. This timeline varies based on factors such as the climate where you live. In areas with more extreme hot or cold conditions, vinyl is likely to fade more quickly.
When moisture infiltrates your siding, it can result in deterioration and decay of the sheathing, cause structural damage to your foundation, and provides an ideal breeding ground for mold. Mold growth can lead to various health-related problems, such as itchy eyes, sneezing, allergies, and asthma. Mold and dampness commonly attract a wide range of insects, so if your siding has taken any kind of water damage, it could invite some unwelcome guests.
Siding pros typically charge by the square foot when providing estimates for siding projects. They’ll take the material cost and add in an estimated labor fee, and some contractors will include an additional upcharge to account for profit, waste, and unexpected issues. Another important price factor your pro will consider is the quality of your home’s current siding, which they’ll need to remove, and your home’s sheathing. If pros have to make any additional repairs to your home’s exterior, the added labor will also influence your final siding cost.
