"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!"
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.
How long siding takes to install depends on various factors, but averages seven to 14 days for a 1500 to 2000 square foot home. You may have a longer installation timeline if your house is large or architecturally complex, if you have underlying damage beneath the existing siding, or if the weather delays the installation process.
If you have stucco on the outside of your home, it’s technically considered cladding and not siding, but beyond that, it’s impossible to tell without a little digging. Without damaging the siding material, expose part of it to see if there’s an air gap between the siding and your exterior wall. If there is, you have cladding. If the siding is affixed directly to the exterior wall, you have a simple siding system.
The recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) for cleaning vinyl siding can vary, so it's best to consult the manufacturer's guidelines. Generally, vinyl siding can handle high pressure, from 2,500 to 3,500 PSI. For comparison, more delicate materials like wood and aluminum siding should not face more than 1,500 PSI. To safely disperse the pressure on vinyl, use a tip with a wider spray span, such as a green (25-degree) or yellow (15-degree) nozzle. For routine cleaning of light dirt, a garden hose with a spray nozzle may be sufficient. Always exercise caution to avoid using excessive pressure that could damage the siding.
DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures weatherproofing, insulation, and proper fastening.
