"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."
"I had the original siding removed, had insulation board installed and wrapped and then installed new vinyl siding on the whole house. They also wrapped all of the trim. Stronghold s service was amazing and we just love how the house looks now. They also addressed all areas of concern for me. I now feel like my house is properly sealed and insulated from the outside. I highly recommend them and plan to use their services again in the future."
"Update 2-12-16 : I was having a little bit of trouble with my attic fan after the baffles were installed. Roofing & More came out and checked it out. The company sent out Gene Davis, their Operations Manager. It was a pleasure working with Gene. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He did a thorough job investigating the situation. He ended up tightening the connection of the fan to the electrical source. His services were covered under warranty.
I would also like to thank Marie Hoffman for her help with trying to find the right type of replacement vinyl siding for my home. Marie went out of her way to come to my house after work to bring me several samples of vinyl siding that she thought would work well with the exterior of my home. I appreciated that extra step Marie took.
Re-evaluating all my experiences with Roofing & More I have decided to change my grade from a 'B' to an 'A'. They earned it.
My experience was comprised of both positive and negative encounters. Positive: a.) receptionist called me back in a timely manner to schedule a free onsite consultation. b.) project manager who conducted onsite consultation was professional and conducted a thorough examination of the items I wanted work on. c.) the technician who actually did the work was skilled, had command of the English language and had copies of the work order in hand. Negative: a.) I had to chase down getting a quote. It was necessary for me to contact the president of the company in order to get this done. After he returned my call to discuss the matter I received a quote later that day. b.) my original appointment was cancelled due to an emergency. That is alright. Emergency situations requiring our immediate attention happen to all of us. I understand that. A replacement appointment was made. I received a call on the day of that rescheduled appointment stating that it needed to be rescheduled. I was very unhappy about that. c.) I failed to receive calls / info when I was told I would get them. This happened repeatedly. That is not how I do business. d.) I found it strange the estimate did not have itemized pricing on it. Rather it listed all the items to be worked on and a grand total reflecting discounts. I will say however, the details of each job to be completed were spot on. My mistake, other than asking for a breakout of job costs was not asking what type of baffles were going to be installed. I would have paid for a better material than foam. However, these are my mistakes. e.) I dealt with several people within the organization concerning my project at various times. I got the feeling they were not communicating to one another. I often found myself telling different people the same thing. I asked 'didn't he or she contact you about this?.' f.) There was a problem regarding the vinyl siding that was brought for the job. The project manager indicated to me he found a 'perfect match.? Well that turned out not to be the case. It does not match at all. The technician ultimately removed a piece of the existing siding to see if he could identify the manufacturer and color type. He was able to do so. I asked him for that info. To make sure we got the right pieces the next go round I did my own research online. I provided that info to Roofing & More. We are now waiting to hear back regarding the cost. I am being told I will be responsible for this cost. I am ok with this since they need to order it in a bundle and I will have left over pieces in case something needs to be replaced in the future. I too may have agreed with the contractor about the original vinyl piece color. To be honest I can?t recall. I would give Roofing and More a letter grade of 'B'. I would also like to point out the people are ok to deal with."
"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. "
"All workers were well experinced in their trade. The job of installing the Patio Door was a problem because of a previous improperly intalled roof which caused water damage to the top, left side panels of plywood and 2 by 4's around the framing had to be replaced. The only issue was that the added work was to be in the estimate."
"Kenny, Fredy and Ricardo came out to do the work, and they did a great job. The were efficient and friendly. They fixed the siding, the trim, the roof, all the caulking, and they even trimmed the tree."
I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my ability to complete every job to the homeowner's total satisfaction. I never leave a job unfinished, or a homeowner not 100% satisfied with my level of service - Call today!
While almost nothing is completely fireproof, metal siding is extremely fire-resistant. It’s non-combustible so while it may eventually melt in extreme temperatures, it won’t actually light on fire itself. This can add a layer of safety to structures that wood or vinyl siding can’t, making it attractive for industrial use. Metal siding can significantly slow down the spread of a fire, giving extinguishers and firefighters a much better chance at saving the structure and containing the blaze.
You should consider a siding replacement material that meets your expectations for budget, durability, and if you want to complete the siding project yourself. Some materials are better than others in certain climates and easier to install for beginners. If you’re unsure which material suits your home, check with a local contractor for guidance.
Yes, siding orientation can affect a home’s resale value, but in what way and by how much really depends on the prospective buyer. For instance, some buyers prefer the more modern appearance that vertical siding offers, so having it can increase your home’s value in their eyes. However, other buyers prefer the classic, more common appearance of horizontal siding, so having vertical siding can decrease your home’s value in their eyes.
Generally speaking, the thicker the siding, the higher the quality. Thicker siding provides a stronger resistance against extreme weather conditions. Thicker siding also tends to fade more slowly under the sun. Hardie boards, a popular fiber cement siding option, is usually 5/16 inches thick. Meanwhile, masonry-finished cement siding varies from 5/8 to 5/8 inches thick.
Traditionally, you place a layer of ⅜-inch foam board beneath aluminum siding. This gives you a smooth surface to which you can fasten the trim and siding. Beneath the foam board, you should have some kind of waterproof sheathing to further protect your home from water damage. It’s possible this sheathing is already under your current siding.
