"I spoke with Dave this morning and Joe came out today and fixed my siding. Both Dave and Joe were very courteous and a pleasure to work with. I would hire again."
"Frank was great. Picked up phone when I first called, quickly came by my home to assess damage to my siding, gave me a fair estimate and got the replacement done quickly. A super nice guy to boot. Highly recommend."
"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."
"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.
"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."
"Thomas and his crew did an outstanding job replacing the roofs on both my house and garage. From the initial inspection through the completion of the insurance claim and installation, they were professional, thorough, and attentive to every detail. The quality of their workmanship exceeded my expectations, and they made sure everything was cleaned up before the job was finished. I couldn't be happier with my new roof and gutters or the exceptional customer service I received throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Thomas and his team to anyone looking for quality work and reliable service. Since they are a true one-stop shop, I look forward to working with them again on future home improvement projects."

If you buy new cedar, the process of cutting it usually roughs up the surface enough that it doesn’t require sanding. However, if you buy older cedar or you’re repurposing it from another application, it’s a good idea to sand it. This helps the stain settle into the grain, and results in a more uniform appearance.
Before applying paint to exterior surfaces, filling any cracks or gaps with caulk is essential. Sealing them with a combination of caulk and paint prevents moisture from damaging the paint or decaying the underlying material. You want to ensure the caulk you purchase can be painted over or that you opt for a caulk the same color as the paint.
Composite siding has excellent insulative properties and one of the highest R-values of siding materials available. Its R-value is 2 to 4; compare that to vinyl, wood, and fiber cement—all of which have R-values under 1. You can boost your siding’s R-value by installing a layer of foam insulation.
Choosing siding combinations that look good together comes down to finding textures and colors that complement each other. You want some contrast so that your home doesn’t look boring or too uniform, but you also want the materials to play off of each other so that each makes the other stand out. It’s a good idea to hire a siding professional to create 3D renderings for you so you can get a sense of what your home will look and feel like before you get started.
Brick and stone are the most durable and longest-lasting siding materials, often lasting for 100 years or more with proper maintenance. Copper is another material known to last over 100 years, though it can develop a greenish patina over time. Zinc is a metal siding that can last 80-100 years. While these options are the most expensive, they offer superior value and longevity. For a more affordable yet durable choice, stucco can last 50 to 80 years in dry climates. Fiber cement siding is another excellent middle ground, offering a lifespan of 50 years or more with low maintenance at a lower cost than stone or brick.
