"I needed some trim work on the exterior of my home. Randy was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, friendly, on time and the quality of his work was excellent. You won't be disappointed."
"Everything about Brothers Aluminum far exceeded our expectations. They were simply excellent from start to finish - great service, quality, professionalism, pricing. They are some of the nicest, most professional, personable and customer-focused company's we've ever hired. We're so happy we selected them to handle our window and siding project. They replaced 27 windows and 5 patio doors and removed and replaced all of our siding and gutters. Teddy, the CEO, came to discuss the project with us on a few occasions, helped us make the right choices in terms of window models/styles and siding types, laid out everything as far timing, costs, financing options, etc. and were a delight to work with throughout the entirety of the project. They executed each phase of the project flawlessly, coordinated deliveries, communicated every step of the way, and conducted everything on time and on budget as promised. Their crews - both the window crew led by Gino; and their siding crew led by Manuel - were some of the best crews I've ever had work in/on our home. They showed up on time every day, were supremely competent in their duties, maintained a clean job site and were a delight to be around. Brothers Aluminum is the only option you should be considering for your home improvement needs. They were so wonderful to work with, I wish I had more work to give them. We're 1000% satisfied and am sure you will be too."
"Courteous and professional service. They responded quickly. Understood my problem and concerns and completed the work immediately. Asbestos removal is not inexpensive but I was satisfied with the cost and the speed of service. I was glad to support a local small business"
"Great team, excellent workmanship, good communication and done very quickly. David spoke to the town given we had asbestos siding and worked with them to meet the stringent requirements. Thank you."
"American Quality contractors responded very timely to my inquiry. They came back with a very fair price for my roofing project. I was very pleased with the speed and professionalism of their workers.They cleaned up after they were done.I would definitely use them again."
"I had a great experience working with Diego and D&C Construction Group. I initially hired them through Angi for siding on my home, and I was immediately impressed by both the quality of their work and how quickly the project was completed. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really stood out, and the team was professional and easy to work with from start to finish. Because of how satisfied I was with the siding project, I didn’t hesitate to hire them again to install a new roof—and they delivered the same outstanding results. Their pricing was very fair, especially considering the level of service and quality they provide. I highly recommend Diego and D&C Construction Group to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and high-quality work."
"He and his crew were very professional, the project came in on time and on the money. He answered all my questions very promptly. I had 2 roofs, siding on 2 buildings and he installed the gutters on the house and the garage and he put gutter guards on the gutters. I would recommend him to anybody."
"Great contractor- friendly, on time and works well with the customer! Three jobs done this 2nd time hiring Tim: repair a ceiling, stucco work and kitchen floor tile. Reasonable rates would hire again. Highly recommended"
The best types of siding to withstand hail are fiber cement siding and engineered wood siding. Fiber cement siding is known for impact resistance, while some brands of engineered wood siding can withstand hail as big as 1 and 3/4 inches with no marks. Vinyl and aluminum siding are the most susceptible to hail.
Vinyl is lightweight, easy to install, durable, and long-lasting, and as long as a professional installs it, it should remain waterproof for several decades to keep your home protected. It can hold out against extreme weather conditions, and it doesn’t make a nice home for any sort of insects. Plus, vinyl is affordable and comes in a variety of looks and colors. When it comes to board and batten siding, vinyl is one of the most affordable material options.
For homeowners looking for a less expensive alternative to metal siding, the most popular choice is vinyl siding. At just $3 to $12 per square foot, vinyl siding can cost much less than some types of metal siding. Other popular alternatives include fiber cement and engineered wood. Consult a local siding contractor to determine which type of siding will work best for your home.
You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.
Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.
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.
