"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."

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.
Not wrapping a house before installing siding can lead to moisture intrusion, rot, mold, and even higher energy bills. Older houses may have siding installed without wrap underneath, so it’s a good idea to add a wrap layer when it comes time to replace old siding to prevent potential damage from water intrusion—local codes may even require it, so check with your municipal building authority.
A self-etching primer is the best option for aluminum siding. These are specifically designed to bond with bare metals, among other surfaces, leading to better adhesion and corrosion resistance. An oil-based primer is a good alternative if you can’t find a self-etching primer.
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.
As stunning and natural as stone siding is, it's not for everyone. Some popular siding alternatives to stone siding include:
If you want the look of natural stone siding without the high material and installation costs, vinyl siding may be one of the best alternatives. It’s lightweight, low-cost, and low maintenance but does have a lower life span than natural stone.
