"Sprague was GREAT. Work was done in a prompt and professional manner. The roof replacement took one day! We had to wait for siding to arrive from the supplier, but once it was in the siding was completed in as just a short amount of time. The gutter crew not only replace out gutters, they added an additional downspout to take care of the runoff from a long side of the roof! Our contact person was Gavin Gleich and he was ALWAYS in touch with us giving us updates. Jack Sprague and his company have our roofing business as long as we live here in Billings!"
"Eric did a great job while giving me my quote. He was very knowledgeable and found some issues with my siding that I hadnt noticed yet. He showed me the product that DaBella was offering and the differences in other siding materials. He worked very hard to make the siding replacement quote affordable and fit all of our needs. I cannot wait to get the new siding."
"They went above and beyond, I had a ton of work preformed (metal siding, roofing and window replacements) and they were super professional, punctual and left my property looking better then it did before they showed up. I will continue to use and refer A&L for any exterior work that’s needed done."
"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. I will continue to use Taylor Made Construction and highly recommend him to anyone."
"Casey the owner is great to work with. Has things done when you ask, doesn’t hesitate to do the right thing on the job. Goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. Appreciate the pro quality they deliver, and in a timely manner as well. 5 star company for sure!"
"I am an out of town property owner and have rental property with two sides damaged by wind and time. I wanted several of the boards replaced but the owner of this company explained in detail the damages and recommended replacing the siding. His explanation was thorough and honest."
Although dish soap will work to clean some of the grime off the aluminum siding, it may not kill mold and mildew as efficiently as a cleaning solution you can buy at a hardware store. If you have oily or greasy substances on the aluminum siding, rather than mold and mildew, dish soap should work extremely well.
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.
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.
Yes, vertical and horizontal siding both come in the same materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and engineered wood. The material you choose can significantly affect your siding’s overall price, lifespan, insulation properties, and maintenance costs.
Traditional clapboard siding, particularly with panels made from wood, is not a significant insulator on its own. However, you can keep your home cooler in summer and warmer with "insulated clapboard siding," which is a type of vinyl clapboard siding with a built-in foam insulation. Consult a local siding contractor to determine whether insulated siding is right for your home.
