We are a women owned and operated roofing and restoration company. Customer satisfaction is super important to us whether you need us for a roof replacement or just a small drywall repair. We treat every home like our own. We also are experts in working with insurance and working with them on getting you back to pre storm condition.

"Trinity Roofing & Restoration is a company you can definitely trust. I highly recommend Adrienne and her top-level working crews. I was in dire need of a new home roof and Trinity was one of my original contacts. I was personally impressed with Adrienne when I first met and talked to her; she climbed on top of my two-story roof, along with her roof inspector. Their inspection was performed prior to my actual insurance company’s roof inspection. Both inspections found my roof had suffered substantial hail/wind damage that needed to be replaced and not repaired. I designated Adrienne to work and speak on my behalf with my insurance company. Due to her professional and diligent efforts, I was able to get my roof claim immediately processed/approved through my insurance company’s adjuster. Also, I had some visible water damage to my ceilings, and she got those supplemental repairs approved as part of the roof claim. Adrienne saved me thousands of dollars. I would not hesitate to call Trinity Roofing & Restoration for any of my future exterior and interior home projects!"

All of our craftsmen are bonded and insured and all pass a strict background test and skill assessment prior to working for us. We are members of the Better Business Bureau and are a proud recipient of the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Angie’s List Super Service Award. Owners Walter & Bev Caraballo and Mike & Denise Caraballo, and all of our local staff welcome the opportunity to help you with your home repair or improvement projects. Call us today and we can start on your project in a few days – not a few weeks!

"I can't recommend this business, because my experience with them was incredibly inefficient, and they were not transparent about their pricing. Some number of months ago, I called Ace Handyman San Antonio to set up services. I had a list of everything I needed done, and Samantha, the office manager, requested that I add photos so that they could understand the scope of the work. I gladly complied. Samantha let me know that it would likely take two separate trips, and she scheduled me with Stephen, a craftsman who I had worked with before, who I knew to do good work. Instead, on the day of my service, she sent out Mike and Rogelio. Mike, the part owner of the business, asked to review my list again, which I shared with him. He let me know that he thought they could knock out "a good majority" of the items that day and left to buy the supplies for my project. For forty-five minutes, Rogelio worked on my home. He added a screw to my back door, leveled two curtain rods that had been hung crookedly, and adjusted the hang of my sliding laundry room door to stay on the tracks. This work took forty-five minutes, which I verified using my Nest camera to track time from the moment he entered my home to the moment he left. Rogelio, however, billed me for three hours. After calling Ace, this was brought down to one and a half, but I'm still unsure about why I'm being billed for double time. At that point, Rogelio left my property and nobody let me know when they would return (despite their supplies being left in my home). After multiple phone calls to determine what was going on, we rescheduled Rogelio to come another day. He came at his scheduled time and let us know that that time didn't work for him anymore, and he wanted to come back another time. He came the next day, but without the materials that had been agreed upon. So he did what he could. He filled holes from paintings throughout our home, adjusted the remaining curtain rods, and fixed our door to close more smoothly. This took two hours, which I was billed for at three hours. At the end of two hours, he told me the remaining work would take one hour, and left for the day. I was charged trip fees for both of these days. The Boerne office called me to schedule the remaining work and Irma (who is an absolute treasure) let me know that Rogelio's quote was incorrect, and she would estimate a half day for the tasks remaining--these tasks were to pressure wash the garage, remove hard water stains from two inches on one window, change the locks on my front door, and paint over the existing places that Rogelio had previously spackled. We did find a few holes that had been missed, and when the handyman, Eric, came out the next time, he spackled over those as well. He offered to go to Lowe's to pick up door stops as well, and install them, so we added that to the list. A younger man came with Eric to "assist," despite my original quote of a half day of one man's labor for $104 / hour. However, Eric spent the majority of his time in my home teaching the young man how to do his job. The young man charged $68 per hour, but did not know how to pressure wash or install a lock, and Eric's time on the clock was largely spent teaching him how to do his job correctly. Additionally, as mentioned, Eric went to Lowe's for supplies. I later found out that Ace bills supplies at 1.5x as a markup. However, I paid the men a trip fee, and the hourly rate for the time they went to the store--I'm confused as to why there is also a supply markup. Finally, along with the cost of materials, for this day, I was charged for more than eleven hours of total labor. To paint over some picture frame holes, clean the bottom half of one window, pressure wash a mostly clean garage and driveway, and change a lock. Worst of all, the work was not done to completion. We tried to calmly and politely have a conversation with Mike Berringer, the part owner and general manager, but he could not have cared less."

Siding questions, answered by experts

Different types of siding provide unique aesthetic and structural features, with each material commanding its own cost. Availability of materials and shipping costs also factors largely into the cost. The common types of siding materials include:

  • Stucco: $7–$9 per square foot

  • Wood: $1–$15 per square foot

  • Engineered wood: $1–$6 per square foot

  • Aluminum: $3–$6 per square foot

  • Fiber cement: $5–$14 per square foot

  • Brick: $10–$20 per square foot

  • Brick veneer: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone: $7–$30 per square foot

  • Stone veneer: $5–$11 per square foot

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.

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. 

You should consider acclimating the wood for your shou sugi ban siding for around two weeks before installation to balance its moisture content and prevent warping. That additional step will ensure your materials are prepped for installation, avoiding complex repairs down the line. Consult your siding contractor for additional installation instructions for this specialized material.

Pressure washing is, in fact, one of the few cleaning methods that can damage your fiber cement siding. Though durable, the material cannot withstand high water pressure. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate cleaning solution when cleaning If you are dealing with stubborn stains, use a scrub or metal-bristle brush, or leave it to a professional.
