"175 year-old timber frame with wind damage to aluminum siding. Installed new sheathing, furring out from the posts and beams. Finished with new wrap and aluminum siding. Beautiful job with attention to detail. Matched the existing siding perfectly. Good communication and completed the work in a timely manner. Good price and description was written up and provided before start of work. Would highly recommend and will rehire for future renovation work."
"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"
"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."
"KC roofing did a great job on my roof. They are very reliable and were very helpful with all my questions. From start to finish they did a fantastic job. I did not have one issue with their workmanship and overall professionalism. Josh C. The contractor did a wonderful job in setting up the job. Which helped the work at my home run smooth and without any issues at all. I would recommend Josh C. and KC roofing to others in need. Thank you so much! Great job guys!"

Signs that you need to replace your siding include siding that’s warping, bubbling, or cracking; signs of rot or mold growth; fading, peeling, or chipped siding or paint; or siding that’s separating from the exterior of your house. Failing to replace your siding when it’s damaged can lead to moisture problems or structural damage, so promptly repair or replace siding as soon as you notice any of these signs.
The best type of paint for vinyl siding is a high-quality acrylic latex paint, often labeled as '100% acrylic.' This type of paint is lightweight and adheres well to the vinyl surface, which reduces the likelihood of it peeling or flaking. For best results, apply two coats and avoid using thick paint. The color choice is also important; select a light color to prevent the paint from absorbing excess heat, which helps extend the durability of your paint job.

Avoid using high-pressure washing and keep sharp objects away to prevent scratches. Check for mold or mildew and clean with a mixture of water and mild detergent.
