"We hired Brandon and his crew to repair and reside our garage with vinyl siding. The work was done as scheduled and the results are beautiful. A very professional job. We then hired him to build a pergola over our driveway. I had a very good idea of what I wanted but the final result is so much better than I expected. They paid such attention to little details that made the end result absolutely perfect. Very reliable crew, hard working and very skilled workers. Will definitely hire them again for our next project,"
"The visit consisted of the a full inspection of the condition of my roof, replacement of worn out boots and calking around ventilation, the securing of some loose shingles, and the replacement of a piece of chimney siding that had been blown off by a storm. The gentleman that showed up was thorough, professional, and quick."
"Reliable, professional and quality of work was outstanding. Very pleased with Fred Bakerâs honesty and integrity. He did what he said he would do at a very reasonable price and he followed through to complete the job on time . I am very pleased with his work."
"Shane did a superior job of staining the wood fencing that runs around our house and farm. It was a lot of work in difficult conditions since he was doing the staining in January. He worked around the weather (remember the week of snow in West Tennessee) and came back to finish as promised whenever we got a days warm enough to apply stain. We highly recommend Southern Builders."
"Absolutely spectular in every way. Hensley Siding gave me everything I expected and more. I was so pleased with the job Hensley Siding done replacing my windows that I further contracted them to replace my gutters. Hensley Siding provided honest straight forward no cost estimates, answered all my questions, and left the premisis clean upon completeion of the work. Unlike other contractors, Hensley Siding hauled off all of the old materials at no extra cost. I would recommend Hensley Siding to everyone; a great company to do business with."
"All workers showed up on time and the work progressed on time. The weather was a factor but the job was finished in time and in a very professional manner. There was never a time when I had to worry if the job was being done the way it should be. There was a section of roofing on the back of the house that was done by an armature at best that caused a lot of wood rot. The foreman of the job showed me how it could be repaired and saved me over $1500 on the job.
I plan to use this provider in the future for work inside my home."
Similar to other types of wood siding consisting of natural materials, cedar siding should last 20 to 40 years. However, the lifespan for any wood siding, including cedar, can be far shorter without the proper repair and maintenance work. Don’t put off making repairs, or problems could worsen quickly. While you can repair minor holes and cracks in the siding shakes, rot and warping requires replacing the boards.
Bleach can be an option if you want to kill mold and mildew clinging to your siding. However, you must water bleach down to the right concentration of a 1/2 cup of bleach per gallon of water to avoid damaging your siding. Bleach can also harm plants in your yard and isn’t safe to use near pets, so employ it with caution.
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.
Increasing home value and return on investment (ROI) are two different things and it’s important to differentiate between the two. While a kitchen remodel will surely raise the value of the house, it may only have an ROI of around 50%. Homeowners looking to raise the value of their home for sale will have to consider how much they will recoup by the monetary investment in projects, as the ROI percentages may be lower or higher than the added value on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
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.
