"No Problems. I stopped at the store. Mark had no problem giving me a conditional price. I didn't want the hassle of an in home estimate if the price was going to be out of the question. Herminio was on time for the home estimate and it was the same as Marks Installers showed up as promised and work was completed to my satisfaction. They insisted on my final inspection which was a good idea because the siding was a bit off but they fixed that right away. I need a couple of bedroom windows and will call them again.
"They showed up early (730a) and went right to work. They tore down the old siding, wrapped the house and had the new siding up by 730p. They did a great job."
"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"

Thank you Garfield one staff and thank you to Sam and Shawn."
If you’re wondering how to clean clapboard siding, the approach depends on its material and condition. Siding in good shape may need only light soap and spray from the hose, while older siding often requires more thorough treatment. For serious cleaning, power washing can remove caked-on dirt, but you should consider hiring a professional to avoid causing damage in the process.
The clapboard exposure, also called the reveal, refers to the amount of clapboard visible in the siding. Clapboards always overlap slightly, but some overlap more than others. The exposure is the vertical measurement of the board that remains visible as the clapboard is installed.
When repairing clapboard siding, it’s important that you match the exposure of your current clapboards. You may want to take a measurement of the specific exposure on your siding for reference in repairs.
Brick and stone are durable, low-maintenance materials for siding and walls that offer excellent insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can increase property value.
Pressure washing shou sugi ban siding is generally not a good idea. The charring process used in creating shou sugi ban siding involves burning the wood's surface to achieve its unique appearance and enhanced durability. The charred surface is delicate, and pressure washing can easily damage it. Instead of pressure washing, you can clean it with a soft brush or broom to remove loose debris, followed by a mixture of mild soap and water applied with a soft cloth or sponge.
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.
