"Elman and his crew are wonderful! This is the second time we used them, first for new siding and this time for a new roof. They are always a pleasure to work with and they take pride in their work. We have a large roof and they were finished in less than a week and it looks beautiful! We would highly recommend them."

"Having come from the construction industry I know a little more than the average home owner. I had my siding and roofing replaced. My first issue was the improper installation of drip edge, which was simi corrected and my second issue was I asked for cedar texture Hardie plank siding and received flat siding. Roofing team - The gentleman that took my rook off did so quickly. However, they didn't clean the area on the ground of all the roofing and gutters before starting the installation. so, the works side looked a little unsafe. Also, there was never an English-speaking individual that I could communicate directly with to address issue with right off the bat. Siding team: wonderful crew, very clean and did an outstanding install. Correction; Drip edge was removed and redone but by time they got to the back of the house they installed it the same way they did the first time. For the Siding error they gave me a choice of removing what they have already installed and giving me what the contract stated of $500 off the bill. Seeing the siding was 3/4 of the way done and the texture of the siding was the only thing wrong I took the $500 off the bill because I don't like wasting material."

"F&M Services Group did an excellent job replacing my father’s roof. We can’t speak highly enough of Michael and how extremely helpful he was throughout the process. Michael answered all of our questions and helped us navigate the potential canceling of my father’s home owners insurance. My dad and I both agree the installers did an excellent job and we highly recommend F&M Services Group."

Siding questions, answered by experts

Yes, vinyl siding can be installed over existing materials in some cases, assuming the underlying structure is sound and the installation will not cause moisture issues.

You may only need to repaint fiber cement siding every decade or so, but you should clean it every six to 12 months, depending on your local climate. First, wash with a garden hose or similar low-pressure device (not a high-pressure washer, which can damage the material) to remove dirt and any large debris. Then, gently wipe down the surface with a soft brush or cloth in a side-to-side motion, following the grain of the fiber cement.

Some homeowners use caulk on the edges of clapboard siding to help seal it. However, this method invites new problems. With so many gaps sealed, clapboard siding is often unable to drain properly and moisture from rain or other sources can build up inside. This can lead to rot and other issues over time. When repairing clapboards, it’s best to avoid caulking the final product. The exception is trim around windows and doors, which should be caulked to avoid moisture problems.

If you have stucco on the outside of your home, it’s technically considered cladding and not siding, but beyond that, it’s impossible to tell without a little digging. Without damaging the siding material, expose part of it to see if there’s an air gap between the siding and your exterior wall. If there is, you have cladding. If the siding is affixed directly to the exterior wall, you have a simple siding system.

You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.

Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.
