"Darren and his crew went above and beyond expectations, replaced bad decking, got rid of old evaporative cooler and fixed hole,put on new metal roof,cleaned site, all in a professional and timely manner."
"They were very thorough with explaining all the options and benefits between the different options for siding. Melia and Eric were very helpful and knowledgeable."
"Excellent. He squeezed us in with our very small project before he started on a big project. Destroying our old deck before installing new one, my yard looked like a war zone, had my doubts, but after the job completed, everything was perfect. Except for the deck. You couldn't even see what work was completed. Recommend him highly. Will use again..."
"This job started as a small project and then mutated into a full siding job. He showed me the rotten/rotting plywood under my siding. He then gave honest recommendations and let us decide what route we wanted to take. He navigated supplier issues when they sent the wrong type of siding. He gave us an alternative idea that would allow the use of the different siding without waiting 4+ weeks for the new shipment. The crew was 100% dependable for the entire job and they did amazing work! He even fixed broken trim on my garage door. A+++++"
"Had a roof issue & called or texted a couple of roofing companies. Denton, responded in a very timely manner, came out that day, inspecting the roof, gave approx price using my spares, & a day/time (2 days) . Confirmed bid that night. Showed up on said day & time. Fast, clean at a very reasonable rate."
"We couldn’t be happier with Big Sky Builders and the work they did on our home. The mix of rock and siding completely updated the exterior, and the redesigned entry is both beautiful and safe. They also did a fantastic job refurbishing our back porch.
Communication was excellent, the price was very reasonable, the craftsmanship and dedication truly stood out. They turned our house into a home we’re proud to own.
Highly recommended!"
"They were very responsive. When they came out to give us an estimate, they told us that we could probably do the job ourselves for cheaper. Since the roof was so steep, we decided to have Kimball's do the work for us. We appreciated their honesty."
When it comes to fiber cement siding maintenance, it’s not too much work. However, it needs to be painted about every 15 years and may need to be re-caulked to prevent mold. Be sure to also wash your fiber cement siding with a lower-powered garden hose at least twice a year to avoid buildup and fading as well.
Composite siding, with proper care, can last 30 years and sometimes more. Because its color has a tendency to fade, you might want to re-paint it every five years or so. Before purchasing composite siding, check the manufacturer’s warranty—you should have a long-term warranty to back up the quality of the product.
Brick and stone are the most durable and longest-lasting siding materials, often lasting for 100 years or more with proper maintenance. Copper is another material known to last over 100 years, though it can develop a greenish patina over time. Zinc is a metal siding that can last 80-100 years. While these options are the most expensive, they offer superior value and longevity. For a more affordable yet durable choice, stucco can last 50 to 80 years in dry climates. Fiber cement siding is another excellent middle ground, offering a lifespan of 50 years or more with low maintenance at a lower cost than stone or brick.
Vinyl is lightweight, easy to install, durable, and long-lasting, and as long as a professional installs it, it should remain waterproof for several decades to keep your home protected. It can hold out against extreme weather conditions, and it doesn’t make a nice home for any sort of insects. Plus, vinyl is affordable and comes in a variety of looks and colors. When it comes to board and batten siding, vinyl is one of the most affordable material options.
Oil-based stains are preferred over latex or water-based varieties because your home's cedar siding must constantly withstand the weather conditions in your location. These stains provide better penetration into the wood to more effectively protect it from UV rays and water infiltration. Oil-based stains are available in transparent, semi-transparent, opaque, or solid-color selections to achieve the look you desire.
