"I had extensive hail damage and called Clay with Sprague. He handled 100% of everything from picking out and installing new windows, siding, roof, gutters, and a new deck. He also handled the insurance aspect of the process. All I had to do was stay out of the way. They were very professional and were able to deal with any situation as they came up. They were also on point with safety. I didn’t have to worry about any cutting corners, quality trumped speed. Thanks Sprague, I will use you next time for sure. Art Hazen"
"Jared was awesome. He explained all different types of windows and help me decide on a window for my house. He also filled me in on the quality of my siding and interior trim of my house. Really helpful and knowledgeable. Havenâ t got my new windows yet but am really excited to have the done."
"Removed asphalt singles and installed raised seam metal roof. Did an amazing job. Very friendly and pleasant to work with. Did everything he said he would for the price he quoted. Highly recommend this company. Couldn’t be happier with the quality of the service and job."
"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."

"Taylor Made is professional and went out of his way to meet me at Lowe’s to help me pick out siding and colors for my front door, he paid out of pocket for samples for me to take home. He worked endlessly with my insurance to make sure they paid the full amount for my roof. He met us at the shingle company to help me pick out the top of the line shingles for my roof. Taylor is prompt at getting me bids and contracts emailed to me and he follows through with everything on the contract with out me having to call repeatedly to ask if he will be finishing the work, Taylor Made has up to date payment methods, and is always willing to work with you on payments.

Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It’s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.
Clapboard is considered to be eco-friendly, as it is mostly sourced from sustainable natural resources and it has insulating properties. Clapboard is more sustainable than vinyl siding materials, which are made of plastic. Clapboard made from fiber cement can also be considered environmentally friendly. This material mimics the look of wood without the impact of deforestation.
Choosing siding combinations that look good together comes down to finding textures and colors that complement each other. You want some contrast so that your home doesn’t look boring or too uniform, but you also want the materials to play off of each other so that each makes the other stand out. It’s a good idea to hire a siding professional to create 3D renderings for you so you can get a sense of what your home will look and feel like before you get started.
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.
If you’re wondering how to make wood siding last longer, including Composite T1-11, inspect it annually or quarterly to spot and repair cracks, holes, or chipped areas. You’ll also want to re-stain the wood every 3 to 5 years or repaint every 7 to 10 years for protection (note that repainting requires stripping and sanding off old paint as well). Lastly, keep up with regular cleanings using a garden hose or low-pressure power washer to help prevent grime and discoloration.
