Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How can I tell if my siding is bad?
A: Usually you can tell pretty easily by looking at the siding closely. Appearance of fungus, obvious separation of seams, caulking failure, swelling, de-laminating, boards that no longer lay flat against your house, paint failure, moisture on the inside of your house, all could be signs of siding failure.
Q: What is the best type of siding for my home?
A: Your home style, neighborhood CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, & Restrictions), desired effect, and your budget determine the best solution for you. Please feel free to call us so we can give you a free estimate. Make the right choice and get the ultimate curb appeal you deserve for your home.
Q: Can I replace my siding during the winter months?
A:Â This answer greatly depends on weather, but the short answer is yes. Winter is a good time to start your siding project. Oftentimes it is much easier to reserve a space in the winter than it is any other time of year. The only drawback to having your project started in the winter may be paint delays. In addition, during winter months we tear-off smaller sections and reside those sections before we move on. That ensures that your home will always have limited exposure to the elements.
Q: When should you clean your gutters?
A: Not very often. If you clean them out twice per year (late spring/early summer and late fall/early winter) you’re set. Just make sure they’re cleared of leaves, and anything else that has found its way into the gutter.
Q: What is a seamless gutter system?
A: One of the largest drawbacks to sectional systems is that all those seams can eventually invite leaks. Seamless gutters won’t leak at seams because there are none; sections join only at inside and outside corners and at downspout outlets. That’s why they have become the most popular choice.
