"My husband and I wanted to upgrade our garage completing old damaged drywall and finish painting, Tony came in and did an outstanding job on it. He did a lot in a timely manner. We also had some odd jobs to do and he did a great job on them as well. Tony is professional, talented and prides himself in doing a great job. After everything was done he cleaned up everything. We would recommend Tony for any home projects. Paul & Sara"
"Daniel provided the best contractor experience I have ever had. The work was completed thoroughly and quickly on the first time and date I asked for. He was very personable and even showed me some tips so I wouldn't need to hire someone for small issues. I look forward to working him again in the future and have recommended his business to friends."

"We had Jimenez Painting completely repaint (siding and trim) our aging home, it was a significant project, and they did GREAT. 100% recommend. Respectful, Reliable, High Quality."
"They have done old time plastering, painting, and other work around the home. They did complete restoration on the walls. Their work is effective and detailed. They are very honest. I found them in the newspaper, and I have been so pleased with the work that they have done. I cannot say enough good things about them."
"Dave is absolutely terrific. This is the 4th time I have used him for re-modeling work and I was not disappointed. His workmanship is first rate. He pays meticulous attention to detail, which is especially important in tiling work. His carpentry work is equally well done. He is very innovative and can offer excellent suggestions on how to improve your basic re-modeling concepts. He is totally responsive to the customer. He will do whatever you want him to do and change whatever you want him to change. He does not argue with you or try to make you feel like you're an idiot when you ask a question or propose an idea (like some contractors and most car mechanics). He tries to figure out how to make what you want happen. He is extremely knowledgeable about the full scope of his profession, including all code requirements. He does not cut corners and is just as concerned about getting the stuff you don't see right as he is about getting the stuff you see right. He is totally honest and up front about all his work and his costs. The cost of this particular project (or projects) did increase but that was because the project evolved. He was completely up-front about costs as the project evolved. In some cases the costs increased because he found rotting pipes behind the walls (shoddy materials used by the builder) and other hidden problems. He showed me those problems and explained the costs in both material and time. He is completely trustworthy. I had no qualms about giving him the ability to let himself into my house and work there alone. I have never had a problem. He is very careful about cleaning up after himself too. Despite the major work being done my house was still livable and presentable enough for me to have guests. Dave is a one-man contractor show which allows him to be totally flexible in meeting your needs, to give you a great price and to work with a focus on quality and getting the job done right rather than paying attention to a clock or the calendar. The only drawback with Dave being a one-man show is that he has no real back-up. If he gets sick or his truck breaks down or he has to deal with a family issue, there is no one to come and substitute for him. So there is a need for his customers to be flexible when working with him. Everything always gets done and it always gets done to perfection but, depending on the type of job it is, it may take longer than either you or Dave originally planned. He is also sometimes hard to get in touch with because he's running in so many directions. Persistence pays off though. That said, if you want a contractor who is totally trustworthy and does absolutely superior work at an excellent price, there is no better guy to call than Dave. I will definitely continue to use him for any home remodeling needs. "
Yes, you can mix siding types to create a unique design. However, it requires thoughtful planning to execute properly. The installation process will also be more time-consuming than if you were to choose either vertical or horizontal for the entire home, so it will cost you more in labor and design costs.
Vinyl, brick veneer, stucco, steel, stone veneer, and composite siding are popular alternatives to wood siding. Which siding material is best for your home boils down to your budget, aesthetics, lifestyle, and climate. For example, stone veneer offers a timeless charm and is low maintenance but may have too high of a price tag. Meanwhile, some homeowners love vinyl siding for its low cost, while others dislike it for its appearance and shorter life span.
Stucco is considered a type of cladding because it includes a built-in ventilation layer, a weatherproof membrane beneath that, and, often, a layer of insulation to improve building efficiency. The multiple layers of stucco—the scratch coat, the brown coat, and the finish coat—also create a more complex building membrane, so it’s more accurate to call it cladding. However, homeowners and contractors alike refer to stucco as siding.
Composite siding is very resistant to warping that can affect some other sidings. Because of its composition, this siding doesn’t have the same risks of moisture damage that can cause rotting, buckling, and warping. Composite material doesn’t warp in high temperatures the way some kinds of vinyl siding can.
That said, composite siding is not entirely immune from moisture damage. It should still be properly installed so that moisture can properly drain from behind the siding, and protected by eaves and clean gutter so the siding doesn’t get repeatedly soaked by rain, which could lead to damage.
New siding improves curb appeal, insulation, and protection from moisture and pests.
