"Our roof was supposed to last 30 years but, because of hurracanes and all our trees eventually coming down it was damaged and the company we'd used did an inadequate job repairing it. We also got more damage later from more storms and BMF showed up right on time. Isaac and his crew fixed that and after 3 other estimates we decided to replace the whole roof though it was only 20 years old. Again, BMF came to our rescue with a reasonable estimate and shortly thereafter reroofed our house and garage, using new shingles able to withstand high winds, also straightening up a problem with leakage around part of our gutter system that had become apparent in the last few years during heavy downpours. They knocked the job out in two days, cleaned up all the debris and couldn't have been more professional. I believe this time we finally found a contractor who did it right and we won't be fooling around with random leaks or tiles blowing off when the hurracanes, hailstorms or falling branches come again as they surely will. Thanks to Issac, Monty and the rest of the BMF crew, we finally have peace of mind at a reasonable cost. I highly reccomend this company, for repairs or replacement, they did a swell job."
"Expert and efficent work finished in 2-1/2 days, including cleaning up all debris and hauling away. The product is as I expected although I think it's a bit on the pricey side. I chose this group because Mike, the salesperson was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and out of 3 other estimates, this was the best. I'm glad I chose them and would recommend them to others."

"We interviewed six vendors to receive estimates and explore various products and installation options. The price estimates of our top three were fairly close. We chose American Siding in-part because it is a local small business, but also because of the product line and workmanship techniques described The project was delayed about a month from the target start date due to prior job sire requesting additional work not included in their original contract. Our project included high end vinyl siding with foam backing and we had over 30 windows on the house and shed. Paul worked with us to use lower grade siding and windows on the shed to help keep costs down. His crew of Jonathan and Dave were professional and friendly, very hard workers. We had frequent discussions to be kept up to speed on the work being and the progress of the job. A separate crew did the roof which took only two days, although the second day ended at about 8:30. The overall job took about five weeks. A great deal of attention to detail was paid to the installation process. The siding was applied on top of the existing siding. A lot of time was spent on building out the windows so they would not be recessed. Many other details that are not seen were attended to that I believe some other companies would skip. Our original contract was for 40K but we had an additional $700 overrun. This was for the replacement of a large amount of rotten wood beyond the amount agreed to upfront. We have had several compliments from our neighbors and are delighted with the appearance. We have several improvements immediately. The house is quieter, the temperature throughout the house is much more even and the ac runs less often. Even when you go from downstairs to upstairs the temperature is constant and it no longer feels as stuffy upstairs. This is in part due to the venting in the roof. All in all we highly recommend considering American Siding Inc."
"Josh was contacted through his former employer that no longer services the area who recommended him to renovate my entire home that I see he has pictures of on his profile. He did an amazing job with absolutely everything from adding a bonus nursery, flooring throughout the entire house along with custom trim! He provided me with a completely updated home that I couldn’t be happier with. Don’t hesitate to give this man a call. He’s super kind and willing to work with you the whole way. He even installed my appliances that arrived completely free of charge!"
"Richline was the best to work with. Very timely, polite, and the two different teams, roof, and siding were very hard working guys. In fact, I plan on having them install my new windows as well. I have just referred them to a friend too!"
Hardie board is more expensive than vinyl siding. Vinyl siding costs $3 to $12 per square foot, on average, with cost skewing toward the lower end of that range. Hardie board siding costs $7 to $18 per square foot, depending on the style, color, and trim. However, it lasts twice as long and often looks nicer, meaning you’ll see a higher bump in your home value and greater curb appeal from Hardie board.
Hail as small as 3/4 inch (about the size of a penny) can cause damage to your siding. When hail reaches 1 inch in size, you can expect to see more cracks, chips, and holes, and hail that’s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. If you see hail that’s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.
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.
