"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. "

Contrary to popular belief, people still do use aluminum siding for their homes—but it’s much less popular than it was in the mid-1900s. The introduction of various types of vinyl siding as an affordable option reduced the demand for aluminum, which is prone to scratching and denting and needs to be repainted every five to 10 years. Given the abundance of house siding options, especially newer and more popular types like stone veneer siding, aluminum siding has simply just fallen out of favor.
Not always. The answer depends on your specific vinyl siding product. While some manufacturers advise against pressure washing, others recommend pressure washing as long as pressure is kept below a certain threshold.
Composite siding has excellent insulative properties and one of the highest R-values of siding materials available. Its R-value is 2 to 4; compare that to vinyl, wood, and fiber cement—all of which have R-values under 1. You can boost your siding’s R-value by installing a layer of foam insulation.
Yes, insulated vinyl siding increases the R-value of your home. Depending on the quality and brand of the insulated vinyl, you can get an R-value that is up to 5 times greater than traditional vinyl siding. This can be fantastic for homeowners who are trying to lower their utility costs.
