"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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!"
Yes, cedar is a popular option for shou sugi ban siding, which is a Japanese style of charring wood for a home’s exterior to finish and protect the material. Cedar shou sugi ban siding costs $15 per square foot on average, but ranges between $2 and $25 per square foot depending on your home’s size, the price of labor, and where you live.
You should install your cedar shake siding with the rough side exposed. The smooth side is less resistant to weathering over the years, and the rough side gives your home a more rugged aesthetic. The rough side also takes to paint better and ensures any paint job will last longer before needing to be redone.
The lifespan of vertical siding depends on the type of material used and whether it’s properly maintained. For instance, vinyl siding can last between 20 and 30 years, while fiber cement siding can last up to 50 years. Remember that the type you choose will depend on how much maintenance it will require to prolong its longevity.
You may only need to repaint fiber cement siding every decade or so, but you should clean it every six to 12 months, depending on your local climate. First, wash with a garden hose or similar low-pressure device (not a high-pressure washer, which can damage the material) to remove dirt and any large debris. Then, gently wipe down the surface with a soft brush or cloth in a side-to-side motion, following the grain of the fiber cement.
To calculate how much siding you need for exterior walls, first measure the height and width of the rectangular walls. For the triangular gable walls, measure the width and then the height from the ground to the tallest gable point.
For the rectangular walls, the calculation is: length x height
For the triangular gable walls, the calculation is: (length x height) / 2
Once you add these up, include an additional 10% to account for any wastage.
