In 1986 John Gallagher had one goal – to provide top quality exterior remodeling products and workmanship at a reasonable price along with incredible service before and after the job. Exterior Designers Inc started with and maintains that philosophy and mission.
"I have had the pleasure of working with John Gallagher, owner, of Exterior Designers, Inc. (EDI) several time over the past twenty years. I first met John as a young new homeowner. We needed a roof and also were in the market to replace the outdated aluminum siding. I always begin a job with at least three estimates, and we were working within a budget. EDI was not the least expensive but was the only company whose owner (John) came out and explained what was needed and what was not. While the other estimates were eager to make the most of our service call, John suggested getting a layer placed over the original roof at a less expensive cost to us. He also advised it would probably last about seven to ten years. Additionally, while other contractors tried selling us high end siding (cedar), John explained that while cedar would look nice, it comes with a lot of maintenance and in reality, the neighborhood tended towards vinyl. Again, he could have talked us into a more expensive choice, especially since my taste and budget is not always in sync, however, he did not. He steered us towards the more economical choice. Our layover roof lasted 19 years without even one leak! That’s great craftmanship. And my siding looks as new as it did when we first had it applied. This summer when I decided to replace the roof in its entirety, I called upon John to do the job. Again, he came out and explained all the options. He does not attempt to sell the best product as many contractors do. Rather, he listened to what I wanted and steered me towards a mid-range quality roof with the architectural shingles I desired, while working within my budget. I highly recommend EDI as they are an honest, trustworthy business who provides quality work. I give them an A+. Thanks, John Gallagher, for another wonderful home improvement experience!!!"

It will cost you between $100 and $200 to patch a simple hole or crack in one piece of wood siding. To patch the area, you need to clean out the hole, sand it down to remove splinters, apply wood filler, and let it harden before sanding it down to make it even.
Homeowners insurance often covers damage to siding, but keep in mind it will only cover the damaged siding. So if you replace that siding and it doesn't match the rest of the home, your insurance won't pay to get the siding done on the rest of your house. That will have to come out of pocket. You should contact your insurer to check your policy details.
It's time to replace your wood siding when you notice signs of deterioration like rotting, warping, peeling, or visible cracks. If your siding no longer protects your home effectively—evidenced by higher energy bills, moisture damage, or frequent repairs—it has likely reached the end of its lifespan. Replacing it ensures lasting protection and optimal performance.
Popular alternatives to wood siding include vinyl, brick veneer, stucco, steel, stone veneer, and composite siding. These materials offer benefits like increased durability, lower maintenance, and various design options suitable for different climates and lifestyles. Exploring these alternatives can help you find a siding option that meets your performance needs and aesthetic preferences.
