We are a full service construction company based in Southeastern Wisconsin. We specialize in insurance restoration work including: wind, hail, tornado, fire and water losses. The owner is an ex 20 year property claims adjuster that can navigate you through the complex world of property claims and offer superior service.
"Our experience with Bulldog did not meet expectations. We signed an agreement and gave them our first insurance payment, only to not have any progress made/work done for two months (despite repeated follow ups) until we escalated to their office. Once work finally began, they framed one door incorrectly, corrected it, and then did the second door incorrectly as well. Despite high winds in the forecast, they did not secure the siding materials, causing us to have to chase full sheets of siding through the neighborhood so that it wouldn’t damage our neighbors’ cars. They damaged our fiber internet line, causing us to have to have it replaced by AT&T. They did not measure correctly and did not order enough siding (despite us asking about this on the second day) - They didn’t order more until the following week, and our house was left unfinished for another three weeks."

Established in 2012, a family owned and operated company, with over 50 years expirence in the Environmental industry. We specialize in Asbestos Inspections & Abatement, Universal Waste removal, Lead-Safe Certified and Mold Remediation
"I was VERY disappointed by my experience with DJK Environmental. They had come to me as a recommendation from a realtor, so I thought they’d be good. We paid money to have the asbestos test expedited, which took longer than the timeline DJK gave me and they didn’t even call me when the results were in. They also made a few errors on the quote to remove the asbestos, and again didn’t seem to care about the timeline they had given me or earning the business from us. I had to track them down any time I wanted information . They did not keep me informed about anything which was awful considering the timeline we are on to move into our house. When I got quotes from a couple other companies for the same service, I learned that DJK are price gougers as they were going to charge me 40% more than the other bids. I notified my realtor about the horrible communication, awful pricing & negative experience with DJK to ensure they don’t get business from any of her clients ever again. Stay away from DJK"

Vinyl siding is generally less expensive than wood siding. The lower cost of vinyl is due to less expensive materials and simpler installation compared to the premium materials and rigorous installation standards of wood siding. While vinyl siding installation starts at around $6,000, wood siding involves higher costs for both materials and labor. If budget is a primary concern, vinyl may be the more cost-effective option.
With proper maintenance, wood siding can last 40 years or more. Regular cleaning, sealing, and staining protect it against rot, insect damage, and moisture. Maintaining it and making prompt repairs helps preserve its durability and appearance over the years.
Installing wood siding on a 1,500-square-foot house costs about $12,500 on average. This cost reflects the investment in quality materials and professional installation. You can reduce expenses by choosing more affordable wood types or handling some of the work yourself, though it's important to weigh the trade-offs to ensure lasting results.
Yes, you can replace vinyl siding with wood siding, provided your home's structure meets all relevant building codes. This process requires a thorough inspection of the underlying framework, proper installation of a breathable house wrap, and maintaining at least a six-inch gap from the ground for effective moisture management. When done correctly, this upgrade can enhance your home's visual appeal and durability.
Yes, new wood siding can sometimes be installed over existing siding if the original material is in excellent condition and the structure is sound. This approach requires careful evaluation of the current siding, consideration of the added weight, and adherence to clearance and moisture control guidelines. Proper installation ensures a durable upgrade and improved curb appeal.
