"Amazing experience! Tim was great walking my mom and I through through process of siding and gutter replacement. Very quick process and now my home has a wonderful new face-lift! 😀 Heather and Elvin were also very helpful in the project."
"Nhoj was very friendly and professional. He was able to come out the next morning to fix the loose siding and reasonably priced. Very knowledgeable and pinpointed how the siding was not properly secured previously. Highly recommend! 👍"
"Our review is based on the purchase (part 1) for replacing siding for both side of our home. Jacob L. was very professional, on time, and honest. He knows what he is selling. We learned a lot about our home during his presentation. Before we bought our home we paid for a professional home inspection. We thought our house inspector was very good but he did miss something---the siding on the sides of our home was installed extremely bad. Jacob pointed out so much that we just didn't know and should have be caught during our home inpection. Thanks Jacob!!"
"I was so happy with the work that Young Environmental did in my rental home. I am located in another state and couldn't fly back when the basement of my rental home flooded in June. I had had a few not-so-great experiences with other contractors, so I joined Angie's List to hopefully make some more progress with getting the repairs done. I contacted 3 companies in order to get a quote to do the work. I spoke to Peter over the phone and was impressed that they would send someone out to do the estimate in person, the other company just guessed based on the information I gave them over the phone. The estimator came out the next day and I had the quote later that afternoon. I spoke to Peter again to ask more questions about the process, and then decided to use Peter as his quote was better than the other company and I liked his professionalism. The work was scheduled to be done the following week and the team showed up on time and took the estimated time they said they would. I was able to take care of payment over the phone with Peter while the team was doing the work, and he even honored the Angie's List discount the following day when I realized that I had forgotten to mentioned it originally. Overall, one of the best experiences I've had with a contractor and I would definitely recommend this company to others that need abatement work done. "
"This work was done under warranty related to a major project R&M did in 2010. The major hale storm in the summer of 2010 badly damaged our roof and aluminum siding. R&M was selected to replace the roof and the siding. The total job was in excess of $25,000; fortunately it was covered by our insurance policy. We were very pleased by the earlier work. So, for this work I called R&M thinking we would be paying for a small project. Kyle Hoffman, president and owner of Roofing & More, came and personally inspected the damage. He made a video of the damage and described what needed to be done. The video was then sent to the office via the Internet and a request was made for a technician to come as soon as one was available. While sitting in our kitchen Kyle checked the office records via phone . He then told us that the work was under warranty from the initial job and that there would be no cost to us. The technician came in less than an hour, he knew exactly what to do, and he did it quickly. He was professional and polite. My wife and could not have been more pleased. This was exceptional service! Roofing & More, Inc. gets an A+ in my book. "
"Falcon Home Exteriors absolutely worked wonders on my home! The transformation from the new roof and siding is incredible, and I couldn?t be happier with how everything turned out. The quality of the work, attention to detail, and professionalism from start to finish were truly impressive. A special shoutout to Jawaun, who was amazing throughout the entire process. He answered every question I had, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. That level of customer service really made a difference. If you?re looking to upgrade your roof or siding, I highly recommend Falcon Home Exteriors. They did an outstanding job, and my home looks better than ever! 5 stars all the way! ?????"
Vinyl, brick veneer, stucco, steel, stone veneer, and composite siding are popular alternatives to wood siding. Which siding material is best for your home boils down to your budget, aesthetics, lifestyle, and climate. For example, stone veneer offers a timeless charm and is low maintenance but may have too high of a price tag. Meanwhile, some homeowners love vinyl siding for its low cost, while others dislike it for its appearance and shorter life span.
Hail as small as 3/4 inch (about the size of a penny) can cause damage to your siding. When hail reaches 1 inch in size, you can expect to see more cracks, chips, and holes, and hail that’s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. If you see hail that’s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.
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.
Composite siding is very resistant to warping that can affect some other sidings. Because of its composition, this siding doesn’t have the same risks of moisture damage that can cause rotting, buckling, and warping. Composite material doesn’t warp in high temperatures the way some kinds of vinyl siding can.
That said, composite siding is not entirely immune from moisture damage. It should still be properly installed so that moisture can properly drain from behind the siding, and protected by eaves and clean gutter so the siding doesn’t get repeatedly soaked by rain, which could lead to damage.
