"This review is long overdue. Peter and his team abated vermiculite in our new home before we moved in on the off chance that asbestos was present. We obtained 3 estimates for this work, and his cost was about in the middle. He was extremely professional throughout the process, taking the time to educate me about what his team would do and why. Asbestos removal is the type of home expense that I never thought I'd have to pay, and really wished I didn't have to, but Peter's professionalism and positive attitude took some of that sting away. His team was on time, and they completed the work in a timely manner. Peter also offered to coordinate the environmental testing after the abatement, but he was open and honest about the fact that doing so could make him appear biased. That being said, the team that conducted the environmental testing (RTS Environmental) was also recommended by my realtor, and I went with them and had him coordinate the testing to save me the hassle. I have recommended Peter to friends in the past, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. "
"All workers were well experinced in their trade. The job of installing the Patio Door was a problem because of a previous improperly intalled roof which caused water damage to the top, left side panels of plywood and 2 by 4's around the framing had to be replaced. The only issue was that the added work was to be in the estimate."
"1st day trim & siding crew arrived & worked til after dark to finish (left trash on property). I called to have crew leader return to fix sub-par work and finish dryer vent. Roof crew worked all 2nd day & left after completing job - signed off to very satisfactory work."
"Update 2-12-16 : I was having a little bit of trouble with my attic fan after the baffles were installed. Roofing & More came out and checked it out. The company sent out Gene Davis, their Operations Manager. It was a pleasure working with Gene. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He did a thorough job investigating the situation. He ended up tightening the connection of the fan to the electrical source. His services were covered under warranty.
I would also like to thank Marie Hoffman for her help with trying to find the right type of replacement vinyl siding for my home. Marie went out of her way to come to my house after work to bring me several samples of vinyl siding that she thought would work well with the exterior of my home. I appreciated that extra step Marie took.
Re-evaluating all my experiences with Roofing & More I have decided to change my grade from a 'B' to an 'A'. They earned it.
My experience was comprised of both positive and negative encounters. Positive: a.) receptionist called me back in a timely manner to schedule a free onsite consultation. b.) project manager who conducted onsite consultation was professional and conducted a thorough examination of the items I wanted work on. c.) the technician who actually did the work was skilled, had command of the English language and had copies of the work order in hand. Negative: a.) I had to chase down getting a quote. It was necessary for me to contact the president of the company in order to get this done. After he returned my call to discuss the matter I received a quote later that day. b.) my original appointment was cancelled due to an emergency. That is alright. Emergency situations requiring our immediate attention happen to all of us. I understand that. A replacement appointment was made. I received a call on the day of that rescheduled appointment stating that it needed to be rescheduled. I was very unhappy about that. c.) I failed to receive calls / info when I was told I would get them. This happened repeatedly. That is not how I do business. d.) I found it strange the estimate did not have itemized pricing on it. Rather it listed all the items to be worked on and a grand total reflecting discounts. I will say however, the details of each job to be completed were spot on. My mistake, other than asking for a breakout of job costs was not asking what type of baffles were going to be installed. I would have paid for a better material than foam. However, these are my mistakes. e.) I dealt with several people within the organization concerning my project at various times. I got the feeling they were not communicating to one another. I often found myself telling different people the same thing. I asked 'didn't he or she contact you about this?.' f.) There was a problem regarding the vinyl siding that was brought for the job. The project manager indicated to me he found a 'perfect match.? Well that turned out not to be the case. It does not match at all. The technician ultimately removed a piece of the existing siding to see if he could identify the manufacturer and color type. He was able to do so. I asked him for that info. To make sure we got the right pieces the next go round I did my own research online. I provided that info to Roofing & More. We are now waiting to hear back regarding the cost. I am being told I will be responsible for this cost. I am ok with this since they need to order it in a bundle and I will have left over pieces in case something needs to be replaced in the future. I too may have agreed with the contractor about the original vinyl piece color. To be honest I can?t recall. I would give Roofing and More a letter grade of 'B'. I would also like to point out the people are ok to deal with."
"We had been exploring replacing our windows for over a year. Meeting with upwards of 16 window installation companies in the area. Exterior Max had great customer reviews and we decided to set an appointment. Best decision ever! They have a diverse and robust catalog for all your windows, sliding glass, and roofing needs. Throughout the entire process the team was professional, responsive , and made us feel like a priority customer. Thus far Exterior Max has replaced 30 Casement windows, three sliding glass doors, our roof and gutters. Looking forward to doing our next project, siding with Exterior Max in the very near future."

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.
Concrete log siding can last several decades, from 30 to 50 years or more, as long as you keep up with proper maintenance. Luckily, concrete log siding is much lower maintenance than typical types of wood siding, so you’ll also have fewer expenses during that time. To keep your concrete log siding in good shape, you’ll simply need to reseal it every two to five years. Confirm with your manufacturer to determine how often to reseal.
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.
To clean painted aluminum siding, use a mixture of mild detergent and water applied with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose to remove soap residue. For stubborn stains, cleaning aluminum siding with a power washer on a low-pressure setting can be effective. But avoid using high pressure, which could damage the paint.
Traditional clapboard siding, particularly with panels made from wood, is not a significant insulator on its own. However, you can keep your home cooler in summer and warmer with "insulated clapboard siding," which is a type of vinyl clapboard siding with a built-in foam insulation. Consult a local siding contractor to determine whether insulated siding is right for your home.
