"I can't say enough good things about Fox Creek Builders. From start to finish, they were professional, detail-oriented, and responsive. They answered all my questions (even ones I didn't know enough to ask), showed up when promised, cleaned up meticulously every day, and everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. They were genuinely interested in providing me with the best experience possible. I had the siding on the house replaced with vinyl, and a new storm door put on the front. Everything is top quality, and the pride in workmanship shows in every detail. I am thrilled with how my house looks, and I would hire Fox Creek again in a minute. I strongly recommend them."
"10/10 recommend!!! After meeting with four different siding companies we are so happy we entrusted Stronghold Improvement to remodel our entire home's siding that was originally from the 1970's. Craig, Darwin, and their team of craftsmen were an absolute joy to work. They effectivley communicated the details of the project and the progress and were very efficient with the condensed timeline as we had a baby on the way. Their attention to detail was amazing and the final product far exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Stronghold Improvement, we are looking forward to working with you again to complete future projects."
"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. "
"1st day trim & siding crew arrived & worked til after dark to finish (left trash on property). I called to have crew leader return to fix sub-par work and finish dryer vent. Roof crew worked all 2nd day & left after completing job - signed off to very satisfactory work."
"I replaced the gutters on my home and it was discovered that there was no drip edge on one section of the roof and the edge of the roof was rotted on both sides. I had someone else look in the attic and the insulation was wet. At the time it was thought that there was some insulation with asbestos because of its appearance and the age of the house. I received an estimate that was very expensive and was very upset to say the least. I found Young Environmental Services on Angie's List and read the reviews. Since others said he was willing to explain processes to you, I called. Mr. Young answered, listened to my description of the problem, explained the process to remove asbestos and then referred me to a reputable company for testing my house. As it turns out, I do not have asbestos but if I had I feel confident I would have used Mr. Young to remedy the situation. "
"So please that I went with JW. The side entry porch had rotted wood throughout and the steps were sagging. Also, exterior house paint had been removed years ago but prior owners did not address one side of house, probably cause it was hidden behind crepe myrtles. Crepe myrtles are now gone and that wall is very visible on the street. Also there were some little jobs needed around the house such as replacing rotted boards above the garage. Got a quote from JW in late April and scheduled the work for the week of July 21 for 6-7 days of work. Two workers showed up promptly on the 21st and did a great job. Very pleased with the JW crew as they kept me posted on the progress throughout the job which was completed in six days. Wish I could post before and after pictures as it looks fantastic"

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.
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.
Yes, you can mount shutters to vinyl siding. Depending on the weight and material of choice, you may need more fasteners or larger fasteners to secure the shutters onto the vinyl surface. It’s also important to locate studs or drill into the window frame when installing heavier shutters to best hold the weight of the shutters if you opt for composite or wood shutters.
The telltale signs that your home is ready for repointing include visibly damaged bricks, crumbling bricks, flaking bricks, loose mortar, cracked mortar, gaps between brick and mortar, leaking inside your home, and visible water damage. Consider repointing when going over brick house pros and cons if you're buying a new home. Repointing is also a good idea if you plan to paint, acid wash, or stain your brick home, as it will give you a good base for coloration and prevent repairs after the work is done.
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.
