"In general, things went well. I chose them because I liked their proposal to improve ventilation. They were punctual, the shingles looked straight, and clean-up was fine. Afterwards, I called about a damaged screen, and it was taken care of immediately. My only concern was with some of the details, which I didn't notice until months later. Due to unusual geometry, and dropping from 2-3 roof layers to 1, there were a number of places where the shingles and siding left large gaps. At a minimum, I thought they should have brought them to my attention and offered some options."

"It was a large roof ice jam, fortunately Trevor was a little early. It was a tough job but it was well done. He removed the ice and repaired the soffit that the ice damaged. Well done at a fair price. Would definitely recommend him to others."

"Complete professionalism from the moment they answered the phone, to the estimate, to the installation, to the cleanup. Daryl gave me a fair and accurate price with no hidden costs or surprises. The crew was friendly and hardworking, working from sun up till sundown, finishing my siding, trim, doors and gutters ahead of schedule. And such beautiful workmanship. The clean up was exceptional. I'm so very happy with the job, my home looks beautiful. I would highly recommend Exceptional exteriors and will be using them for my roof next year."

"Marshall came, made an assessment, and sent an offer on time. The price was on the high side, but the offer was through and well rounded. I ended up choosing someone else, but I had a good impression and will contact Highland for other roof work.

"Everything went great! John the owner was very responsive and informative. I had several quotes from contractors but John was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive but the attention to detail, the product that was delivered as well as communication was exactly what I wanted. Donnie who was the foreman on the job was also very nice to work with. Once the siding and roof was complete the crew did a complete clean up and it was like they were never here! Definitely highly recommend and would call them again."

Siding questions, answered by experts

The main differences between dutch lap versus clapboard siding have to do with their design and texture. Clapboard siding features flat, beveled planks stacked at a slight angle, offering a simple, traditional look. Dutch lap siding features a subtly concave surface along with a notch that creates a shadowed look between the boards. This eye-catching design often resembles wood grain and introduces a noticeable shadow line, making it more visually interesting compared to the simpler look of clapboard siding.

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.

To calculate how much siding you need for exterior walls, first measure the height and width of the rectangular walls. For the triangular gable walls, measure the width and then the height from the ground to the tallest gable point.

  • For the rectangular walls, the calculation is: length x height

  • For the triangular gable walls, the calculation is: (length x height) / 2

Once you add these up, include an additional 10% to account for any wastage.

Professional installers typically recommend caulking between siding boards, but it depends on the material. With Hardie board and fiber cement siding, manufacturers don't recommend adding caulk because it can trap moisture in the joints or discourage flexibility in fluctuating temperatures. Consult your local siding contractor about caulking best practices before adding any to your home’s exterior.

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.
