"We went with Stellar roofing bc from start to finish they were very professional and upfront. They not only matched a competitors price they beat their price. They came out took pictures as the job was being done, kept in contact with me throughout the whole job! They cleaned very thoroughly and above all else my house looks great! Thank you Stellar for doing a fantastic job!"
"We had our roof completely replaced and we feel very fortunate to have met Joe from Buffalo’s Best Roofing to walk us through the work they would do for us. He helped us select a beautiful shingle to match our existing siding. From start to finish we couldn’t be happier. Thank you to the crew at Buffalo’s Best Roofing."

"Stellar Roofing was excellent! JD was great at explaining what to expect when it came to our roof replacement and answered any questions that had come up. The crew worked fast and diligently and were able to complete our roof within a day! However, after cleaning up, I had to pick up a few scraps left in our yard so our dog wouldn't get to them first. Other than that, we're very pleased with our new roof and happy to recommend Stellar Roofing."
"Got Paul's name off Angie's list. I left a message and Paul called back in less than 5 minutes. Paul came out to give an estimate within 3 days and within one week, was here to do the work. Paul and Michael arrived promptly. Mike stayed to do the work. It was tedious as the wall paper border was being stubborn. It looks great and is ready to be painted. The clean up was thorough and everything was back in place just as it was upon their arrival. Paul came back to check to be sure all was good with the work. It sure was! Thanks Paul and Mike! I look forward to working with you in the future."
"This cleaning service saved me from stressing about moving into a new home. They cleaned every room, drawer, floor, mirror just everything! I received pleasant people happy to help us! I would hire this cleaning crew again and Joe is going to paint our entire inside also, he does a perfect job, is reliable and fair priced! We will be doing more business with him for sure. ?"
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.
Caulking should be re-applied roughly every five years. It's natural for a home to settle and separate caulking from joints, so it's a good idea to assess the home every two years. A consistent siding maintenance schedule will help you see if the caulking is needed and address any potential issues before they occur.
Stucco siding is the most energy-efficient option on its own, but you can choose insulated vinyl, insulated metal, or insulated brick or stone facade siding that improves energy efficiency even further. These options include a layer of foam insulation under the siding to reduce heat transfer between your living space and the exterior. If you live in a particularly sunny climate, a reflective option like insulated steel or aluminum siding can maximize efficiency.
On it own, aluminum siding has a relatively low insulation value (also called R-value); aluminum siding has an R-value of 0.61. However, you can purchase insulated aluminum siding to increase the R-value to between 2 and 5. You can also install additional insulation within your walls to help maintain temperatures within your home. On average, insulation costs$1,825 to install throughout the typical home.
Vinyl is the most common shingle siding due to its rigid PVC design, longevity, affordability, and ease of installation. The next most popular types of shingle siding are fiber cement, which is in the mid-range for prices, and cedar shake, which is the most expensive. Consider the upfront cost, ongoing maintenance costs, and durability in your specific climate before deciding.
