"Exceptional work. Vinyl siding as removed and JamesHardie siding was installed on 3 exterior sides of my home. This work was completed in two and one half days. The work was outstanding and our home looks beautiful. The workers were professional and diligent. The owner was a pleasure to work with. He was immediately responsive with the initial estimate and for any follow-up items. He was professional and courteous. We would definitely use Inspired Exteriors for any future work."
"I can’t say enough good things about the service provided by Geno and his company, Geno's Siding and Roofing in Holland, PA. They were attentive to my roofing needs, the communication throughout the installation was fantastic and the price for the excellent work can not be matched. If anyone is concerned about having roof work done, worry no more... Geno is the best!"
"Father and son have clearly been doing siding for a long time. They know the little tricks that make the job look professional. Add to that, they are really nice people. Was the price cheap? No. Was the price fair? Yes. They charged literally a third of the quote that I got from one of the big companies. With D&J the fellow who does the quoting is the same guy as the fellow installing the siding. This is the siding company that you have been looking for."
"From the very first day, down to the end of the project, these guys are amazing!!!! Chris and Greg met with me several times, went over all the questions I had down to detail. There was no push to buy, like so many of the other window salesman. I felt they just wanted you to get exactly what you wanted, at a great price. Even when the guys came to put in all 10 windows, they were all very nice, pofessional and it was done in a timely manner. I am not going anywhere else for anything, next they will do my siding. This company really is the best!!!!!!!"
"Jim was here the same day and repaired my vinyl siding. He did a good job saving the siding that was blown off by the wind. The siding is very secure now ready for the next wind storm."
"Anthony and his team did a great job replacing my damage stucco. Anthony came out quickly to look at the damage and to figure out where water was getting in. He and his team showed up quickly to complete the work. I would highly recommend Derrytresk Plastering and Stucco for any stucco projects."
"We hired JW Tull earlier this year to replace our roof, install new siding and new gutters. The finished product is great! Our contact person was very responsive and any concerns we had during the process were addressed. We then painted the bring on our house white to complete the look."
While vinyl is the less expensive option, composite siding has been known to be more durable than vinyl. In addition, because it is made from recycled materials, it is a more ecologically-friendly choice. Composite siding is also more luxurious looking and comes in a much wider range of styles and colors.
Composite siding, with proper care, can last 30 years and sometimes more. Because its color has a tendency to fade, you might want to re-paint it every five years or so. Before purchasing composite siding, check the manufacturer’s warranty—you should have a long-term warranty to back up the quality of the product.
Mildew grows into porous wood, making it more difficult to remove than regular dirt (and more destructive). We suggest using a dedicated mildew and mold fungicide to remove mildew, which is found in any local home improvement store. Apply a dose of the fungicide to the siding and leave to work according to the instructions, usually for an hour or two. Then wash it thoroughly away and scrub the spot again. Repeat the process if necessary. If nothing is removing the mildew stains, you should plan on removing those clapboard planks in time, as their damage could cause future problems.
To maintain vinyl siding, homeowners should regularly clean it with mild soap and water, inspect for damage, and promptly repair any issues. Avoid using high-pressure washing and keep sharp objects away to prevent scratches. Check for mold or mildew and clean with a mixture of water and mild detergent. Take preventive measures to avoid fading, such as minimizing exposure to direct sunlight and using color-safe cleaning products. With proper maintenance, vinyl siding can retain its appearance for years.
The cost to install or replace brick or stone siding generally ranges from $10 to $50 per square foot. The final price depends on several factors, including the specific material type, local labor rates, and any necessary preparation work, such as removing old siding. For example, different types of stone have varying costs per square foot: natural stone ($4.50–$35), stone veneer ($11–$13), faux stone ($6–$9), and cultured or manufactured stone ($5–$8).
