"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."
"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."
"They did more then just fencing they also did a slew of other projects and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience! The work is top notch, as is the customer service and communication, This will be my go to call for future home needs, I highly recommend!"
"We had a great experience with Mike and Veterans Environmental. They came out the same day we called, provided a quote right away, and were able to start the asbestos removal work just a few days later. The entire process was quick, professional, and reassuring — our asbestos pipes were removed and the house was cleaned within just a few days. Mike also kept the air filters running for several days after the job was completed, which gave us extra peace of mind. He was easy to communicate with, reliable, and very willing to help with additional debris removal from the rest of the house for an additional fee. We truly appreciated his professionalism and would highly recommend Veterans Environmental."
"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!"
The main differences between dutch lap versus clapboard siding have to do with their design and texture. Clapboard siding features flat, beveled planks stacked at a slight angle, offering a simple, traditional look. Dutch lap siding features a subtly concave surface along with a notch that creates a shadowed look between the boards. This eye-catching design often resembles wood grain and introduces a noticeable shadow line, making it more visually interesting compared to the simpler look of clapboard siding.
Different types of siding provide unique aesthetic and structural features, with each material commanding its own cost. Availability of materials and shipping costs also factors largely into the cost.
The common types of siding materials include:
Stucco: $7–$9 per square foot
Wood: $1–$15 per square foot
Engineered wood: $1–$6 per square foot
Aluminum: $3–$6 per square foot
Fiber cement: $5–$14 per square foot
Brick: $10–$20 per square foot
Brick veneer: $3–$10 per square foot
Stone: $7–$30 per square foot
Stone veneer: $5–$11 per square foot
Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it’s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.
To maintain vinyl siding, homeowners should regularly clean it with mild soap and water, inspect for damage, and promptly repair any issues. 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. Take preventive measures to avoid fading, such as minimizing exposure to direct sunlight and using color-safe cleaning products. With proper maintenance, vinyl siding can retain its appearance for years.
