"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."
"Awesome !!!!! This was on my sons house he just bought. Roof was put on much sooner than quoted. Great workmanship. They cleaned up everything, it was a total tear off. I couldn’t even find a piece of shingle or nail anywhere. Brent was great to work with. Would totally recommend!!!"

"The guys at Buckeye were super communicative and the work was done to a very high standard. The workers were all very friendly and they had the whole siding project done in 4 days including the aluminum trim, which all looked fantastic. To me, it was very important to find an exterior renovations company who actually works with aluminum, because many don't and just do the siding, and everything turned out amazing. Good price too. I would recommend them 100% and rate them 10/10!"
"Solar did an excellent job on our roof as well as leaving our yard clean. All of the workers were nice and easy to speak to. All around good experience, and will recommend them to others."
"I got a new roof and siding and gutters from this crew, and they were fantastic! Lots of updates and communication throughout the project, and I am thrilled with the results."
"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."
Yes, mixing siding types will affect your home value, and in most cases, it will improve curb appeal and add to the value of your home. This is especially true if you get the benefit of the high-end appearance of brick or stone siding but save on siding costs by covering most of the exterior with more affordable vinyl or fiber cement.
Not always. The answer depends on your specific vinyl siding product. While some manufacturers advise against pressure washing, others recommend pressure washing as long as pressure is kept below a certain threshold.
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.
Steel and aluminum are two types of metal siding that are commonly used for residential and commercial buildings, but the materials have specific differences. Typically, steel is heavier and sturdier, fending off scratches and dents, while aluminum is lightweight and more prone to damage. Cost is another differentiating factor, as steel is more expensive than aluminum siding cost.
Vinyl can withstand many different cleaning methods, but there are two things you need to be wary of. First, particularly harsh chemicals will damage your vinyl siding and reduce its lifespan. Second, be careful about pressure washing your vinyl siding. Vinyl can resist powerful washing damage more than softer siding like wood, but high levels of pressure can still crack it. Use the lowest level of pressure for power washing vinyl, or hire a siding professional to do it.
