"Pro Home Exterior did a great job repairing siding due to a windstorm. The matched existing siding and had the job finished in one day for the exact amount of the estimate. They fully explained the process and offered great customer service. I would hire them again if we need siding repaired."
"Had my roof replaced today! Chris Huey with Becker Exteriors was amazing. Contacted me on Monday and had roof done on Saturday! Great communication, quality work, good price, awesome crew! I would highly recommend them and will use again for other projects."
"I had their salesman, Jack, come out for a demo and estimate at the end of November 2011. He did a very good presentation and answered my questions without pressure to buy. I went ahead and purchased 12 windows. The windows were ready in January and were installed by Dennis and his crew. I was very impressed with their work ethic and professionalism. The windows look great and operate perfectly. ( I had the wrap added...looks awesome!). We've have several very windy days and a few rainy ones and there have been no problems with any of them so far. I am very pleased with the windows and service. They cleaned up the mess and hauled away the old windows. I would buy from them again. In fact, I will consider them when I have my house siding done this summer."
"The VP crew was respectful of my property and completed the job without distractions
They were efficient in their use of time, and the installation of bird spikes and gutter guard after the siding was repaired made my home more presentable"
"When I found out my chimney siding was Masonite (who the heck knows why someone would use that on the exterior )! I changed the scope to replace the siding on the entire chimney above the roof. Easton declined to do that work. However they were very responsive to my initial request and their price was reasonable. I decided to patch the hole myself and postpone bids to replace the siding on the entire chimney when I save up the money required."
"Besides the siding, we also had the Windows replaced and the roof replaced. And all of it was done in about a week! When you realize that everything had to be pulled off before the new could go on, that seemed really fast for us. They were also able to schedule some bathroom updates, sinks/countertops & a shower stall with seat, to start and finish the same week. Great coordination and quality work."
"The salesman, Kevin Anderson, was very helpful in developing a new front facade. He was very intent on determining our desires rather than just selling us a product. The window crew, Butch and Brian, did a great job, particularly with installing the new inside trim. The siding crew also did a great job. Travis, the siding project manager, visited frequently during the work. He even ensured that there was plywood placed under the dumpster when it was set on the driveway to prevent scraping. This is the second time we have used Bordner for a big project and are pleased with the results."
You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.
Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.
The cost of wood siding varies by the type of wood. Engineered wood siding tends to be in the middle of typical costs ($3 to $7 per square foot for materials). Hardwoods, for instance, can cost $5 to $20 per square foot for materials alone, but cedar wood can be as cheap as $3 per square foot.
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.
To calculate how much siding you need for exterior walls, first measure the height and width of the rectangular walls. For the triangular gable walls, measure the width and then the height from the ground to the tallest gable point.
For the rectangular walls, the calculation is: length x height
For the triangular gable walls, the calculation is: (length x height) / 2
Once you add these up, include an additional 10% to account for any wastage.
Yes, siding orientation can affect a home’s resale value, but in what way and by how much really depends on the prospective buyer. For instance, some buyers prefer the more modern appearance that vertical siding offers, so having it can increase your home’s value in their eyes. However, other buyers prefer the classic, more common appearance of horizontal siding, so having vertical siding can decrease your home’s value in their eyes.
