"I had my siding done, the crew was great they were very professional and positive and everyone was very nice by waving and smiling. They were really good at clean up and no pile of trash as they were going they piled up things and took them away promptly. Jon was my PM and handled the job professionally and explained everything as needed. Would recommend! He even got my dog to come back from across the street."

"I had Gutters?s installed in May 2025. The gutters leaked on the first rain after gutters were installed.
I have called numerous times, sent messages numerous times, it is now August and gutters are not repaired. I left a 1 star review several weeks ago and I finally got a return call. Tracey from their office assured me a project manager would contact me within 24 hours. No one has called. Gutters still leaking. I will say it again, DO NOT HIRE HOME GENIUS. Poor quality work. No customer service. Sales representative told us there was a warranty. They Lie.

"James was great with customer service. He called before he showed up and arrived ready to fix my front door to my house. I had initial doubts, but i decided to give James the work and i couldn’t be happier. He seemed to have a tool for everything needed and fixed my front door in a timely manner. He was hands down the best handyman for the best price. He was lower in cost than my other estimates and knew his craft very well. Exceeded my expectations!
Will reach out to him for future projects.
This has really taught me not to Judge anyone.
Please hire James for your next project! "

Stucco questions, answered by experts
The durability and overall longevity of house cladding varies by the material, but the average lifespan is between 15 to 25 years. Metal cladding is generally the most durable and long-lasting, with a life expectancy of up to 100 years. Environmental factors such as climate, humidity, moisture, and UV exposure can all play into how long cladding lasts.
Stucco is considered a type of cladding because it includes a built-in ventilation layer, a weatherproof membrane beneath that, and, often, a layer of insulation to improve building efficiency. The multiple layers of stucco—the scratch coat, the brown coat, and the finish coat—also create a more complex building membrane, so it’s more accurate to call it cladding. However, homeowners and contractors alike refer to stucco as siding.
There are two ways to determine which renovation will add the most value to a house. One is based on money alone, and the other is based on the percentage of money spent versus money earned when selling the home. While these values vary, the best projects to add value based on percentages are exterior painting, replacing doors and windows, replacing the garage door, roofing replacement, and upgrading the siding.
German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the cost of painting your house exterior, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best—thus costing more over the same time period.
Neutral colors like white, tan, beige, and light brown are the most popular stucco colors. Natural stucco has a grayish color due to the high concentration of Portland cement in the material, but most homeowners have their contractors add pigments to create a more inviting appearance. Stucco is most popular in hotter climates, where it provides ample insulation to regulate interior temperatures and keep the solar heat out. Since lighter colors reflect more sunlight, lighter stucco is more prevalent.
