"I have owned my house for 7 years and have over the years received a lot of quotes for windows from many companies. This is the ONLY company that made it convenient to receive a quote, they did not try to upsell me, understood my budget, they were calm and patient with me and my three rambunctious kids! And most of all DID NOT MAKE MY HUSBAND HAVE TO BE PRESENT FOR THE QUOTE (so he did NOT have take off work or leave early to get home and our dinner and nap time was NOT interrupted). The crew they sent to install my windows was Aaron and his co- workers. They were amazing Aaron and his team went above and beyond to not just install my windows but, make me feel comfortable with having them in my home. They again were patient and kind with my children running around. They made it a POINT AND TOOK EXTREME EFFORT to cover all my furniture, fixtures, kids toys, and floors with plastic (we had lead in our windows so this was greatly appreciated). Aaron the supervisor was very knowledgeable of the dangers of lead. I was impressed with the care and attention he put into making sure I knew he was taking every step to ensure my families safety. The workmanship they exhibited was amazing they paid attention to detail (my neighbors were outside the moment they pulled out of my driveway admiring the great job they did!). I have used other window companies before and was very disappointed and felt scorned by the window industry. Solar windows has restored my faith and trust and I look forward to doing more business with them in the future. "

"I can’t say enough good things anout Demore Exterior Solutions. Had to have a roof and siding on my house in Ohio and with me currently living out of state it was important to find someone in could trust. All the work was done properly and they took the reins dealing with the insurance company. Ryan and his team kept me informed and made the process very easy. 10/10 recommend."
"Cleveland Exterior Remodeling was referred to me by my next-door neighbor. They replaced all my siding, trim, gutter system, roof, and shutters this past fall. Tim, Frank, and their crew were great to work with. The crew was courteous, respectful, and kept the yard clean while working on my property. The project started once all materials arrived and were completed on the day Tim said it would be. I couldn't ask for a better experience and would refer them to my Mom."
Yes, vinyl siding can be installed over existing materials in some cases, assuming the underlying structure is sound and the installation will not cause moisture issues.
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.
Professional installers typically recommend caulking between siding boards, but it depends on the material. With Hardie board and fiber cement siding, manufacturers don't recommend adding caulk because it can trap moisture in the joints or discourage flexibility in fluctuating temperatures. Consult your local siding contractor about caulking best practices before adding any to your home’s exterior.
You can put new siding over clapboards, but it’s not recommended. Some sidings, like vinyl siding, can go over clapboards with sheathing like a foam layer in between. However, it’s best to remove clapboard siding if you plan on replacing it with new siding. Burying wood clapboards underneath new siding can create risks of rot and mold, or hidden insect damage. It can also create warping issues over time. Removing clapboards allows you to properly install a new sheathing, as well as clean up the exterior wall and look for any signs of damage.
Fiber cement siding is one of the lowest-maintenance options. The material’s formula is resistant to insect activities, moisture, and most physical impacts. Vinyl and aluminium siding is also fairly easy to upkeep. All these low-maintenance options only require basic surface cleaning, caulking, and regular gutter maintenance to prevent water dams from forming.
