"Terrific! Home Exteriors was great to work with from start to end. Communication was a breeze and pricing is fair. We made it difficult on them as we changed our minds on the siding two different times which created delays. Our roof and windows were replaced months before they could get the product for siding. They never requested a dime until the total job was complete. With the siding product delays, Lisa was fast to respond and communicate. Their siding team was great, led by Steve who is a very hard worker. We are thrilled with the results and would not hesitate to hire Home Exteriors again."
"Apex was amazing. They gave us a quote quickly and were very competitive in their pricing with other contractors we talked too. After we awarded them the job they kept us informed at every turn and did what they said they would. They showed up and on time and cleaned up each day. The crew was friendly and helpful and mindful of our property and neighbors. During the job they found some rotted wood under the old siding and took pictures and offered us remedies to fix the problem with pricing. At the end of their day the work was done quickly and professionally and at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Apex"
"Very professional company. Sam was incredible and very informative. He helped with selection of siding and made everything very easy to understand about the project. The crew was very neat and cleaned up everyday before they left. They exceeded our expectations. We now have the beautiful house we always wanted. Thank you Garfield one staff and thank you to Sam and Shawn."
"Great job and excellent communication the whole way. This was particularly important as we were dealing with the insurance company after a hailstorm damage to our roof and siding. The new roof looks great! The yard was cleaned up immediately and is back to its original state. The siding will be done next. Thank you, Tom."
"Chuck at KC was professional, efficient and a clear communicator. He snapped the siding back into place same day and I would use this groyp again for any of my future needs."

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.
The necessary frequency of mold cleaning in your home will depend on several factors, including the climate, the presence of moisture sources, and the type of siding. It's generally recommended to inspect your siding regularly and clean any mold growth as soon as it appears to prevent it from spreading or causing damage. If you’re not sure how often you should clean mold off siding, you can always contact a siding contractor near you to consult on what maintenance schedule will work best for your home.
Concrete log siding can last several decades, from 30 to 50 years or more, as long as you keep up with proper maintenance. Luckily, concrete log siding is much lower maintenance than typical types of wood siding, so you’ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you’ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.
