"We got all new siding on our house, as well as our deck redone, about 2 months ago. We are 100% satisfied with all the work Inspired Exteriors did, and have been thoroughly enjoying it ever since! Kevin and Elder were wonderful project managers and kept everything on track, even through extended rain. Anytime I reached out to Kevin he got back to me very quickly, which is a major plus when getting work done on your home. They have very large crews doing the work, and they were always courteous and always working their butts off. Not only that but the pricing was also very reasonable. We would absolutely use them again, and probably will in the near future."
"Geno was awesome! We discovered the loose siding on Saturday afternoon. Set up the project in Angi’s list talked with Geno almost immediately! I sent him pics of the two loose siding spots and he made an appointment with me for the next day (Sunday) at 12:30pm. He finished the repairs on not only the siding spots I identified, he fixed a 3rd issue that we did not even recognize! All repairs were complete in under an hour!! I would highly recommend Geno to anyone who needed repairs such as ours! Geno is Awesome!!!"
"David was quick to respond and get me on their schedule. Installed siding to inside and outside of existing screened in porch as well as ceiling material in one day. Looks great! I am extremely happy that I chose them for the job!"
"I just had my roof replaced with Lane Roofing. Shawn Keys was very honest and helpful. He inspected my roof and told me everything that needed to be repaired and replaced and updated me through the whole process and shared photos from start to finish. The crew was great. They showed up early and cleaned up like they were never there. I would highly recommend Lane Roofing & Exteriors."
"Magic Roofing put on a new roof on my house . They did a great job at a reasonable price. Recently a hunter fired as slug that came into my house and damaged my siding . Despite the siding being 24 years old, they were able to perfectly match and replace the siding. They have been prompt and neat. If needed I would gladly do business with them again"
"My new siding looks phenomenal! Fred and his team were amazing and quick with my siding project. Everyone was very friendly and respectful. I would recommend home genius to anyone"
"Anthony Daly did an exceptional job! My home looks amazing. His crew is very hard working and would always stop and take the time to answer questions. Anthony was very responsive and when capping and siding was removed and odd previous construction was uncovered he would be back at my home working with his crew and would bring other contractors to make sure the issue was fixed and everything was applied correctly. The siding company I hired over promised so I could not longer use them. Anthony was very flexible to expand the project to also stucco my garage and family room-addition. After a hard rain, I discovered that one of the leaks was not fixed. He came back to home with another contractor and with the hose in hand found the leak in the brick (not his stucco) and they fixed it. Very responsive, professional and dependable. Everyone comments on how great my home looks. I highly recommend him."
"Jesse was our point of contact. He was attentive and flexible. In a few cases we made changes mid stream and he was very accommodating. Their crews did great work. In particular, the roofing crew was exceptional. They made short work of our 20 square oddly shaped roof. The windows and siding guys were very good as well. They handled a more complex Front picture window install easily. All in all I’ve recommended them to friends and family and while I Hope I never need to do this work again, if I did, I would certainly give Jesse a call again"
"Mickey and his crew did a great job on my stucco repair. All work was completed as discussed in a timely fashion. The color match was perfect and everything looks brand new. The crew was very respectful of the property and took care to clean up anything that was moved or disturbed. Highly recommended!"
The main differences between dutch lap versus clapboard siding have to do with their design and texture. Clapboard siding features flat, beveled planks stacked at a slight angle, offering a simple, traditional look. Dutch lap siding features a subtly concave surface along with a notch that creates a shadowed look between the boards. This eye-catching design often resembles wood grain and introduces a noticeable shadow line, making it more visually interesting compared to the simpler look of clapboard siding.
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.
The best types of siding to withstand hail are fiber cement siding and engineered wood siding. Fiber cement siding is known for impact resistance, while some brands of engineered wood siding can withstand hail as big as 1 and 3/4 inches with no marks. Vinyl and aluminum siding are the most susceptible to hail.

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.
