"Roof crew was excellent! Gutter crew also excellent. Siding crew was horrible. I live in a townhouse so there is only a front and a back. Took them 2 days & it would have been longer if my husband didn't push them along. Some of the sales people are slick & make you belive all is included when it isn't. The siding crew left a bad taste in my mouth & will never use them again."
"Pete and his team did an outstanding job from the moment they arrived until the final clean-up. What a hard working team! Pete did a great job communicating with me prior to the job and updating me throughout the day during the job. We love our new roof and the quality job! We were impressed with the clean up...not a single piece of trash was left behind!! I would highly recommend Pete and his team for any roofing job and would be pleased to serve as a reference to any potential future clients of Spicer Brothers."
"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"We interviewed six vendors to receive estimates and explore various products and installation options. The price estimates of our top three were fairly close. We chose American Siding in-part because it is a local small business, but also because of the product line and workmanship techniques described The project was delayed about a month from the target start date due to prior job sire requesting additional work not included in their original contract. Our project included high end vinyl siding with foam backing and we had over 30 windows on the house and shed. Paul worked with us to use lower grade siding and windows on the shed to help keep costs down. His crew of Jonathan and Dave were professional and friendly, very hard workers. We had frequent discussions to be kept up to speed on the work being and the progress of the job. A separate crew did the roof which took only two days, although the second day ended at about 8:30. The overall job took about five weeks. A great deal of attention to detail was paid to the installation process. The siding was applied on top of the existing siding. A lot of time was spent on building out the windows so they would not be recessed. Many other details that are not seen were attended to that I believe some other companies would skip. Our original contract was for 40K but we had an additional $700 overrun. This was for the replacement of a large amount of rotten wood beyond the amount agreed to upfront. We have had several compliments from our neighbors and are delighted with the appearance. We have several improvements immediately. The house is quieter, the temperature throughout the house is much more even and the ac runs less often. Even when you go from downstairs to upstairs the temperature is constant and it no longer feels as stuffy upstairs. This is in part due to the venting in the roof. All in all we highly recommend considering American Siding Inc."
"It went very, very well. Mr. Wayland was polite, professional and very personable. He showed great knowledge in all areas regarding the different projects .He did an outstanding job with everything. He was very tidy and conscientious. Very reasonable in his prices. I am now going to contract him to stain and repair my deck and build wood siding around my chimney, I know it will look great !"
"The guys who actually installed the siding & windows did a great job. They were professional and paid attention to every detail. They get 5 stars. The Richline sales Rep was nice enough, but led me to believe that the job would start within 3 weeks from when I signed the contract. After several calls trying to get in touch for updates, I was told different dates until they finally started almost one and a half months later. Apparently Richline has disconnected their company phones and only use their cell phones now."
The necessary frequency of mold cleaning in your home will depend on several factors, including the climate, the presence of moisture sources, and the type of siding. It's generally recommended to inspect your siding regularly and clean any mold growth as soon as it appears to prevent it from spreading or causing damage. If you’re not sure how often you should clean mold off siding, you can always contact a siding contractor near you to consult on what maintenance schedule will work best for your home.
Vines can cause severe damage to your siding. They can grow underneath and all around siding, which can cause it to pop off or split. Vines also trap moisture, which can damage siding by causing rot. The cost to replace siding may make you consider getting rid of the ivy or adding a trellis or lattice support for it to grow on instead.
Oil-based stains are preferred over latex or water-based varieties because your home's cedar siding must constantly withstand the weather conditions in your location. These stains provide better penetration into the wood to more effectively protect it from UV rays and water infiltration. Oil-based stains are available in transparent, semi-transparent, opaque, or solid-color selections to achieve the look you desire.
Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.
Avoid toxic chemicals that can leach into nearby lawns, as well as household ingredients like vinegar that can ruin paint and sealants. Instead, look for a very light detergent or a dedicated exterior siding cleaner. In a pinch, you can use a basic dish or laundry soap, but we suggest sticking with a dedicated cleaner.
If your siding is struggling with algae or moss, which indicates moisture issues, look for an outdoor cleaner that’s specifically designed to clear moss and algae stains. This is also a sign that you need to seal your clapboard against further problems.
