"I was very impressed with the job these four men did installing our new vinyl siding. The men were very polite and really worked hard to get the job done. They were very good at cleaning up after themselves when the job was done. I would recommend this company to everyone."
"They installed seamless gutters with covers. They completed the job quickly and their clean up job was excellent. They had great communication and great customer service. I would definitely recommend them."
"Material was top quality. Took a while to get here to do the job, but it was done quickly. The installers forgot one part of the install - the hinged drainpipes. Have to return."
"Three guys came 145 miles and installed metal siding on my house. Weather was rather chilly but they fired right to it and did a professional job. Was great teamwork. Made my house look like new! I highly recommend them for myself and others. Thank you!"
Wood clapboard siding needs frequent sealing to keep it in top condition—likely every two to three years. A sealant helps protect it from both moisture and sunlight damage. Your weather and climate will affect how often you need to seal the siding, but the pros recommend sealing it every couple of years. More durable woods in milder climates may not need to be sealed quite as often.
You should consider acclimating the wood for your shou sugi ban siding for around two weeks before installation to balance its moisture content and prevent warping. That additional step will ensure your materials are prepped for installation, avoiding complex repairs down the line. Consult your siding contractor for additional installation instructions for this specialized material.
A brick exterior for your home has many advantages over other types of siding. While brick siding and veneer are more expensive, they’re also durable, long-lasting, and weather-resistant. Brick siding is aesthetically appealing, and can help to increase the value of your home. It’s also easy to maintain brick siding.
Bleach can be an option if you want to kill mold and mildew clinging to your siding. However, you must water bleach down to the right concentration of a 1/2 cup of bleach per gallon of water to avoid damaging your siding. Bleach can also harm plants in your yard and isn’t safe to use near pets, so employ it with caution.
Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it’s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.
