"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."
"Apex was amazing. They gave us a quote quickly and were very competitive in their pricing with other contractors we talked too. After we awarded them the job they kept us informed at every turn and did what they said they would. They showed up and on time and cleaned up each day. The crew was friendly and helpful and mindful of our property and neighbors. During the job they found some rotted wood under the old siding and took pictures and offered us remedies to fix the problem with pricing. At the end of their day the work was done quickly and professionally and at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Apex"

Thank you Garfield one staff and thank you to Sam and Shawn."

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.
As stunning and natural as stone siding is, it's not for everyone. Some popular siding alternatives to stone siding include:
If you want the look of natural stone siding without the high material and installation costs, vinyl siding may be one of the best alternatives. It’s lightweight, low-cost, and low maintenance but does have a lower life span than natural stone.
Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It’s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.
If you’re wondering how to clean clapboard siding, the approach depends on its material and condition. Siding in good shape may need only light soap and spray from the hose, while older siding often requires more thorough treatment. For serious cleaning, power washing can remove caked-on dirt, but you should consider hiring a professional to avoid causing damage in the process.
Insulated vinyl siding costs about twice as much as the cheapest form of vinyl siding, but it’s still more affordable than other types of siding, including fiber cement, wood, stone, and brick. You get a lot of bang for your buck with vinyl siding; it’s durable, it’s available in a wide range of styles and colors, and it helps lower your energy bills.
