"Finding good quality windows that would be in the style of our 1926 colonial and be affordable was a challenge. We had the original double-hung mullioned windows all through the house. We wanted windows that would be energy efficient, complement the french doors at the front of the house, and maintain it's character. We went with Marvin replacement windows with a primed wood interior and aluminum clad exterior. Michael gave us a price on the windows that was competitive with other contractors who showed us aluminum clad casement windows only. Michael helped us with our decisions and is incredibly detail-oriented and patient. We used mullioned double-hung windows at the front of the house, (which look great with the original french doors) and used casement windows for the rest. We were able to maintain the look of the house but really appreciate the clean lines and ease of use of the the casement windows as well. Plus they're all easy to clean. When Michael bid on the job he said he was very neat and it would be only be him and one other person doing the job. He said it would take 3 days. I remember he said "you won't even find a staple left over". He was totally true to his word. It took 3 days, he's incredibly neat and a truly nice guy. He's the real deal and I'd recommend his work with wholeheartedly."

Siding questions, answered by experts

You should install your cedar shake siding with the rough side exposed. The smooth side is less resistant to weathering over the years, and the rough side gives your home a more rugged aesthetic. The rough side also takes to paint better and ensures any paint job will last longer before needing to be redone.

Vines can cause severe damage to your siding. They can grow underneath and all around siding, which can cause it to pop off or split. Vines also trap moisture, which can damage siding by causing rot. The cost to replace siding may make you consider getting rid of the ivy or adding a trellis or lattice support for it to grow on instead.

Yes, siding orientation can affect a home’s resale value, but in what way and by how much really depends on the prospective buyer. For instance, some buyers prefer the more modern appearance that vertical siding offers, so having it can increase your home’s value in their eyes. However, other buyers prefer the classic, more common appearance of horizontal siding, so having vertical siding can decrease your home’s value in their eyes. 

You should plan to stain or refinish your home's cedar siding every three to seven years to maintain its appearance and provide maximum protection, though some estimates suggest a range of four to six years. The exact frequency depends on several factors, including your local climate, exposure to severe weather like direct sunlight, rain, and wind, the quality of the initial stain application, the type of stain used, and the overall condition and quality of the wood.

For homes in harsh climates with high humidity and significant sun exposure, you should plan on staining as often as every three years, while those in milder locations may only need to do so every seven years. For the longest-lasting protection in particularly harsh climates, consider using an opaque stain.

If you are looking for a lower-maintenance alternative, you might consider vinyl or aluminum siding. While the initial installation cost can be higher, they do not require as much upkeep and can offer more value over time, especially in areas with excessive rainfall or high humidity.

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.

Local pressure washing services often offer non-bleach options that can powerfully remove mold and mildew.
