"Very happy with all of my new siding, trim and roof. He was very patient with me about all of the changes and colors and he added extra touches. Motion sensor light, lighted door bell, gutter leaf guard and the roof was done at a very good price."

"Tony met all my expectations regarding my needed roof-related repairs, including a roof leak, a chimney leak, rotting facia boards, improperly installed gutters, and removing an abandoned vent pipe. Tony's customer relationship skills were excellent. The price I paid was more than fair. Tony and his crew stayed longer than expected to complete all repairs on one visit."

"I hired American Exteriors to side my garage and update the flashing and trim on the front of my house to freshen it up. Steve and his crew were very professional, thurough and fast. I have had some very bad experiences with some contractors and was very impressed with the quality of work. I had some unique issues with the update to my house and Steve and his crew always had a solution. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone I know who needs exterior work done on their homes."

Siding questions, answered by experts

You should restain or refinish your home's cedar siding every three to seven years to maintain its appearance and ensure maximum protection. The precise frequency depends on several factors, including your local climate, the siding's exposure to severe weather like direct sunlight, rain, and wind, the quality of the initial stain application, the type of stain used, and the condition of the wood.

Homeowners in harsh climates with high humidity and significant direct sunlight should plan on restaining every three years, while those in milder locations can wait up to seven years. For the longest-lasting protection in particularly harsh environments, consider using an opaque stain.

If you're looking for a lower-maintenance alternative, vinyl or aluminum siding are options to consider. Although their installation cost may be higher, they don't require as much upkeep over time, which can provide more value, especially in areas with excessive rainfall or high humidity.

Brick and stone are durable, low-maintenance materials for siding and walls that offer excellent insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can increase property value.

You should use a siding nail gun for siding installation, but if you don’t have one you can use a framing nailer instead, if the nails are long enough to firmly attach to the clapboard siding. However, framing requires longer nails that join lumber together. In that instance, siding nails will not be enough.

Costs vary based on home size, siding quality, labor, and any necessary repairs to underlying structures. High-grade materials and insulation options tend to influence the overall expense.

Similar to other types of wood siding consisting of natural materials, cedar siding should last 20 to 40 years. However, the lifespan for any wood siding, including cedar, can be far shorter without the proper repair and maintenance work. Don’t put off making repairs, or problems could worsen quickly. While you can repair minor holes and cracks in the siding shakes, rot and warping requires replacing the boards.
