"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!"
Composite siding has excellent insulative properties and one of the highest R-values of siding materials available. Its R-value is 2 to 4; compare that to vinyl, wood, and fiber cement—all of which have R-values under 1. You can boost your siding’s R-value by installing a layer of foam insulation.
Vinyl siding is the cheapest option in terms of upfront costs. The average cost to install vinyl siding is around $12,173, with certain types like vinyl shake, clapboard, or dutch lap costing as little as $2 to $3 per square foot. While vinyl is very low-cost, it may not last as long as natural materials or metal, with a typical lifespan of 20 to 40 years. In contrast, metal siding is more expensive initially but can save you money in the long run due to its longer lifespan, which is often double that of vinyl. It's recommended to consult a siding professional to determine if the lowest-cost option is the best material for your specific home.
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.
Siding pros typically charge by the square foot when providing estimates for siding projects. They’ll take the material cost and add in an estimated labor fee, and some contractors will include an additional upcharge to account for profit, waste, and unexpected issues. Another important price factor your pro will consider is the quality of your home’s current siding, which they’ll need to remove, and your home’s sheathing. If pros have to make any additional repairs to your home’s exterior, the added labor will also influence your final siding cost.
The clapboard exposure, also called the reveal, refers to the amount of clapboard visible in the siding. Clapboards always overlap slightly, but some overlap more than others. The exposure is the vertical measurement of the board that remains visible as the clapboard is installed.
When repairing clapboard siding, it’s important that you match the exposure of your current clapboards. You may want to take a measurement of the specific exposure on your siding for reference in repairs.
