"The SK Capital Services contractor was on time, he was careful, took photos of any other roofing problems, replaced and repainted the right rear rake board. There were several loose and missing shingles, which I had him replace and nail down any problem areas. I was very pleased with his work and would recommend him to my neighbors and friends."
"They did a fantastic job on my wood siding, window trim, and painting. Of 3 different contractors to perform this type of work for me over the last 15 years, they did without a doubt the best job. I would highly recommend them. They were very responsive to small requests such as removing an unwanted satellite dish rather than painting around it. There were some minor challenges getting on the schedule As a result we ran up against a schedule deadline for me and had to proceed with some second choice siding for some of the repairs. There was a little confusion over the required permit too, but in the end they got the work done when I needed it to be done. They estimated a little low, and the final cost was about 25% higher."
"We had an old Hot Tub in the deck that we never used and it was leaking. We also had some trim work and siding that needed to be replaced. Mr. Davis and his crew went to work taking the hot tub out and replacing the deck, repaired siding, and trim. Their work was excellent. Everything was done on time and looks fantastic. They did an outstanding job. I would recommend Mr. Davis and his crew to anyone."
"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!!"
"Their salesman, Richard, was very professional and took time to try to get every detail correct. When an error was found, it was corrected promptly. Their price was slightly above the other two bids, but the apparent quality made the extra cost seem justified. In the end, I believe that the price was reasonable. Their roofing work was superior and the changing/re-sizing of the gable vent was perfect. They did everything exactly according to plan. However, the wrapping of the door and window frames did not go well. The bending and fitting of the aluminum is very nice, BUT, the caulking work was not acceptable. The lines were too thick and wavy. The poor caulking work detracts significantly making the final appearance less than satisfactory. Also, even after spending time talking to the sales representative, the crew did not know to seal and wrap the metal lentils above the windows. This should be standard practice - otherwise the homeowner is left with a small but very aggravating paint job to do. Every other home in my neighborhood whose window frames are wrapped, have the lentils wrapped in one piece with the top of the window frame. When they came back several days later to do this, they patched things together leaving nail heads exposed. When I compare the appearance of the work on my home with the work done by a company that received lower grades on Angie's List, the work on my house does not look as good. The accounting for the job also did not go smoothly, although it turned out okay in the end. I received two erroneous "final" invoices before receiving a correct one. They were just mistakes. I don't feel that they were deliberate attempts to overcharge me. The company did not provide cell phone contact information for their operations supervisor. When I called the company to complain about the workmanship of the caulking being done, I had to go through the switchboard and THEY had to contact the supervisor. I did get his phone number from him when he came by as a result of my complaints regarding the caulking workmanship. I feel that the company should give the customer the contact information for the management person that is responsible for overseeing the job. In saying that I would use Roofing and More in the future, I would do it with some trepidation. I would definitely recommend them for roofing, but not for window/door frame wrapping. "
"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! 👍"
"Shortly after purchasing our home (circa 1940), we discovered it had a significant amount of asbestos in the building materials. After interviewing multiple remediation contractors, we felt that Peter and his crew offered a professional, and careful approach. He was no-nonsense, and was willing to negotiate a fair price. The work was performed quickly, and within the time frame as promised. Peter was responsive throughout, and answered all our questions."
"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."
Siding pros typically charge by the square foot when providing estimates for siding projects. They’ll take the material cost and add in an estimated labor fee, and some contractors will include an additional upcharge to account for profit, waste, and unexpected issues. Another important price factor your pro will consider is the quality of your home’s current siding, which they’ll need to remove, and your home’s sheathing. If pros have to make any additional repairs to your home’s exterior, the added labor will also influence your final siding cost.
Yes, mixing siding types will affect your home value, and in most cases, it will improve curb appeal and add to the value of your home. This is especially true if you get the benefit of the high-end appearance of brick or stone siding but save on siding costs by covering most of the exterior with more affordable vinyl or fiber cement.
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.
The lifespan of vertical siding depends on the type of material used and whether it’s properly maintained. For instance, vinyl siding can last between 20 and 30 years, while fiber cement siding can last up to 50 years. Remember that the type you choose will depend on how much maintenance it will require to prolong its longevity.
Similar to other types of wood siding consisting of natural materials, cedar siding should last 20 to 40 years. However, the lifespan for any wood siding, including cedar, can be far shorter without the proper repair and maintenance work. Don’t put off making repairs, or problems could worsen quickly. While you can repair minor holes and cracks in the siding shakes, rot and warping requires replacing the boards.
