"This is a family owned business and they offer a fair price for good quality products and very professional installation crews. I had all my doors and windows replaced. It was a big job. I highly recommend Star Home Improvements and I can't say enough good things about them."
"Over-all workmanship was great. The 5-man crew work well together, quite an efficient operation. The only negative is some debris, ie a utility knife blade in the grass, and many trampled plants on the south side of the house."
"They were prompt and professional in getting to me for an evaluation and cost estimate. It took awhile to get to the job because they're pretty busy. The workers did an excellent job on the roof of the 8'x12' shed, even replacing my weathervane. Everything went smoothly."

"My project was an especially difficult job because it's a combination roof/deck. I decided to use EPDM materials, and I figured it would take two pieces to cover the deck leaving me with a seam to be concerned with down the road. Even though there were places hard to get to, Daniel used ingenuity and experience to thoroughly cap & seal the whole deck with one piece. Good customer satisfaction skills, top notch workmanship & quality materials."

"I had an old that was 18x12 ft.The deck has stairs from second story down to ground level. I called Great American log Homes after I had read good reviews here on AL. Mr Painter answered the call and was very enthusiastic about coming out to see what I wanted to get done. He came out that day. I asked him to give me estimates for three possibilities; replacing the deck with another wood deck of equal size ;a deck made out of synthetic (Trex) material; and lastly to price out making 2/3 the deck a covered screened in porch with the remainder 1/3 exposed (outside uncovered) deck made out of synthetic material. He had a price estimate for all three possiblities in just a few days. He came back to my house in person to review all three in detail. The price for the screened in porch was good and was within my budget so I decided to go with this. I got two other price quotes from other people, one was more expensive and one was about a 1000$ less. I was impressed with Mr Painters enthusiasm so I went with him. He got to work very soon after we agreed on all the details. He gave me a written contract with the details of the project prior to starting. He asked for 1/2 the money up front and the remainder after 100% project was completed. As stated above he removed the old deck and stairs, replaced the floor of the deck with synthetic composite deck boards with tounge and groove tight fitting boards with no exposed nails. He replaced the old wood rails with attractive pcv pickets and rails that matched with the deck boards. The old stairs replaced with same material as deck surface. 2/3 of the old deck was turned into an enclosed screeened in porch with railings as in the outside portion of the deck. It had a large vaulted ceiling that had a ceiling fan and installed recessed lights. The inside of the porch ceiling was made of attractive wood paneling. the ouside ceiling was sealed and shingled to match exactly to the existing house. It looks like the screened in porch was built with the house and out of the same materials and no one would know that this was an add on project 7 years later! Small area had to have alluminun siding added and this was seemless with the house. Small amount of electrical work had to be done with moving/removing the existing outside light to a new spot for the floodlight and new electrical work for the ceiling fan and recessed lights. Mr Painter has a person that does electrical work and he was very good and took the time to ask how I wanted the new light box to work with the many existing switches that i have in my kitchen. He got started very soon after we agreed on the details. The total project took less than 2 weeks and he seems like he does not start a project unless he is able to give it 100% to get it done asap. Mr Painter is the sole owner of his company and oversees everything. He has a crew that works for him and had different people for different parts of the job. He used to build complete homes and therefore is familar with every aspect of construction/renovation/reconstruction. He is a senior/seasoned contractor that is very hands on, despite not doing all of the work himself and having workers, he does participate in the work. Mr Painter was on the job everyday and spoke to me everyday to let me know how thing were going and asking me questions to make sure everything was coming along the way I wanted them. There were a few minor issues that came up during the day to day construction and I when i brought them up to Mr Painter he took care of them right away. Mr Painter is a very hard working enthusiastic worker who takes pride on making the customer happy. He is very honest and realistic. He was very easy to talk too, he was very communicative with the progress of the project. I would recommend him highly. Even though he wasnt the cheapest, he was sooo easy to work with I will have him do more renovation projects for me. "
Before applying paint to exterior surfaces, filling any cracks or gaps with caulk is essential. Sealing them with a combination of caulk and paint prevents moisture from damaging the paint or decaying the underlying material. You want to ensure the caulk you purchase can be painted over or that you opt for a caulk the same color as the paint.
You should install your cedar shake siding with the rough side exposed. The smooth side is less resistant to weathering over the years, and the rough side gives your home a more rugged aesthetic. The rough side also takes to paint better and ensures any paint job will last longer before needing to be redone.
Hardie board is more expensive than vinyl siding. Vinyl siding costs $3 to $12 per square foot, on average, with cost skewing toward the lower end of that range. Hardie board siding costs $7 to $18 per square foot, depending on the style, color, and trim. However, it lasts twice as long and often looks nicer, meaning you’ll see a higher bump in your home value and greater curb appeal from Hardie board.
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.
While homeowners' insurance can include coverage for siding, general wear and tear of siding is not covered. If your siding is rotting—especially because you haven’t kept up with proper siding maintenance—replacement siding will likely not be covered by your homeowners' insurance policy. Instead, insurance generally covers siding repair or replacement if your siding has been damaged by extreme weather, vandalism, fire, or some kind of collision, like by a vehicle.
