"I purchased a full trim wrap package as preventative maintenance on my new home. My wood trim was in good shape, but there is a ton of wood on the exterior of my house and I figured that getting it wrapped would give me some peace of mind. Paid cash for the project and had no trouble dealing with the office or my salesperson. When my appointment date came, a subcontractor arrived and began installation. The job was completed the same day. The crew managed to destroy about half of my front lawn (which has not really recovered), and put a scratch on my car, which I had moved to the curb to give the crew space. The quality of the work was atrocious. There are certain sections that are passable, but the majority of the project looks awful. There are large bulges on nearly all of the corner posts and most of the panels on the bay windows, and it has been getting worse over time. The finishing nails used to attach the panels seem to have been used completely at random - most of the bay window panels have 4-6 nails per panel, while one in particular has 14 nails and looks utterly terrible. A large amount of the caulking has separated, to the point where it's no longer something I can handle myself in a reasonable amount of time. High quality caulking should definitely last longer than year when applied correctly. Unfortunately, it looks like it was applied by a child in most areas. Naturally, this completely defeats the purpose of this job since moisture is able to get in pretty much everywhere. Worst of all, this summer, just a little over a year since I had the installation done, I have had a lot of humidity problems in my home. I decided to check the soffits to see if the fly-by-night crew that installed my trim had done the soffit fascias correctly. Turns out that they did not remove the existing vents or wood under the fascia, which was specified in the contract. So... now I have basically no attic ventilation due to the existing small vents having the vented vinyl fascia overlapping. I attempted to resolve many of these issues last year, but didn't have much luck with the one-man repair crew they have. I'm a single father of two young boys and at the time I was working two full-time jobs, so it was pretty tough to find an opening in my schedule. Whenever I did get in touch with him, his next appointment was always 2 weeks out and conflicted with something I had to do. The frustrating part was that he was always under the impression that he was only coming out to 'trim the patio doors', which the company had decided to throw in to make up for the issues I had. I explained multiple times that I had several issues that needed to be addressed, and yet I kept hearing the same thing, even after he had arrived one day and I explained it in person. I sent pictures of all of the issues to the company and even had my salesperson come by and see them in person. Things got pretty busy when my boys started school, so I didn't get a chance to follow up again until just recently. After discovering the unacceptable issue with the soffit fascias, I contacted Paramount two days ago through their website, and also attempted to call them. I didn't receive an email response, and did not receive a response to the voicemail message that I left. So here we are. Overall, I wish I had not had this project done at all. My home looks significantly worse than it did before the job was done, and I am very concerned about possible water/moisture damage due to the poor installation. The quality is so poor that I am considering hiring another contractor to simply remove all of it and repair the existing wood. Just take a look at the pictures... Now that I look at them, it's even worse than I thought."

I am what most would consider a handyman but my background is in framing, cornice, siding and trim work. I can also do electrical repairs, minor plumbing and fix pretty much any problems that you have around the house. I have been working construction for over 20 years and I know with all the contractors out there a lot of people are wary when hiring contractors. I am not going to tell you I am the best all I can say is let my work speak for my skill level. I never charge anything until the customer is satisfied with a job.

The length of time your siding will last will depend on the siding material and your climate. It’s important to remember that proper routine maintenance, like twice-a-year cleaning, is vital to help extend the longevity of your siding and to avoid replacement before its expected lifetime ends. 

  • Vinyl, aluminum, and wood siding lasts 20 to 40 years

  • Fiber cement siding lasts around 50 years

  • Brick and stone veneer siding lasts at least 100 years

Vinyl siding has a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer against cracking and fading. Realistically, 25 to 30 years is the lifespan.

Siding repair costs $870 for an average homeowner. This cost could be as little as $75 or as much as $16,000, depending on your existing siding material, repair type, and damage level. For example, for basic siding repair, you can expect to pay between $2 and $16 per square foot for materials and labor. However, if you have extensive damage or for more expensive materials like stucco, that price jumps to $4 to $50 per square foot.

There is a difference between repairing/partial replacement and a complete installation. A repair service call for vinyl siding is at least $300.00. The more material that needs to be purchased for partial replacement, the higher the cost. The average cost for a complete installation of vinyl siding and soffit is $17k to $22K depending on the size and grade of materials.

There are certain circumstances where your homeowners insurance might cover the expense of siding repair. If you have siding damage due to extreme weather, a natural disaster, a fire, or a hail storm, your policy might fully or partially pay for the repair or replacement cost. However, most policies will not help pay for repairs due to general wear and tear. It’s best to review your homeowners insurance policy for full details on what may be covered.

In certain situations, your homeowners insurance may cover the cost of siding repairs or replacement. If your siding is damaged by extreme weather conditions, a natural disaster, a fire, or a hailstorm, your insurance policy could pay for some or all of the repair or replacement costs. This coverage can be crucial, as severe weather events and disasters can cause significant damage to your home. 

However, it’s important to note that most homeowners insurance policies will not cover repairs due to general wear and tear or normal aging of materials. For instance, fading, cracking, or rotting caused by prolonged exposure to the elements is typically considered a maintenance issue and is not eligible for reimbursement. 

To fully understand what’s covered, it’s crucial to review your homeowners insurance policy in detail. Pay close attention to exclusions, specific types of coverage for exterior damage, and the conditions under which you can file a claim for siding repair or replacement. It’s also a good idea to consult with your insurance provider to get a clear explanation of your coverage and how to maximize the benefits available to you. 

When dealing with siding damage and potential insurance claims, it’s equally important to work with an experienced contractor who can guide you through the evaluation and repair process. A reputable contractor not only helps assess the extent of the damage but can also work alongside your insurance company to ensure that you receive the full benefits of your policy. An experienced contractor will thoroughly inspect the damage and provide an accurate, detailed estimate for repairs. They’ll help document the damage properly, which can be crucial in ensuring your insurance claim is successful. Additionally, they can assist in identifying any potential issues that may have been overlooked, ensuring that you don’t miss out on the coverage that you’re entitled to. Contractors with experience in insurance claims can also serve as advocates, communicating with your insurance provider.

The cost to replace siding for your home is $11,450 on average. But siding replacement can cost up to $40,000 or more, with the largest expense being your chosen material. For example, for a 2,000 square feet house, the average cost of siding materials such as vinyl is between $9,000 and $14,000. Wood siding is a little more expensive, ranging from $16,000 to $26,000. However, for the same size house using brick or stone, that cost jumps to $18,000 to $100,000. When choosing to replace your home’s siding, it’s essential to consider your climate and longevity.

There are several different types of siding available to give you the home exterior of your dreams. Each type of siding has its own cost factors, estimated lifespan, and benefits to fit your needs. Some common siding options include:

  • Vinyl 

  • Wood 

  • Aluminum 

  • Fiber cement 

  • Brick 

  • Stone and stone veneer 

  • Stucco

If you want to stay environmentally friendly, wood siding is natural, recyclable, and renewable. However, if you’re looking for a durable siding option that is more resistant to dents and scratches, brick or stone siding is your best choice.
