"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"

"Was referred to JF by a friend that liked their work. From the beginning Jesus was amazingly responsive in both text and email. He was clear with his communication on timing and gave a very reasonable quote. On site he and his crew were ready to go bright and early, kept the site clean, did a great job and cleaned up beautifully afterward. Our new windows look great! Would highly recommend giving them a call!"

"This is the second major home improvement project I have had done with Sunset Ridge Exteriors. Original work was window replacement, which was done professionally and timely. After the experience I had with another window/door contractor, Sunset Ridge was a breath of fresh air. I was impressed enough to call no other contractors when i needed my Siding and Roofing redone. Roofing was a necessity, Siding just needed to be done to match the timing. I chose a high quality Black shingle and a High quality insulated vinyl siding in blue. The prices were a bit higher, but they came with lifetime warranties, which made it worth the tag for me. The installation of the roof took one day. I have a smaller house, but regardless of that fact, they replaced actual boards in the roof that were too worn to keep, and fully shingled the roof in less than a business day. They were flying. The siding took longer as you would expect, but was done with such a professional level of attention to detail (framing hose bibs, color matched caulk, framing power boxes), I have been floored each time I walk around the house. They worked with me to coordinate a smooth installation, alongside my solar panel contractor, so the gutters wouldn't go on until the solar panels were up, avoiding damage or superficial marks. Everyone listens, provides options, and communicates well when something needs to be changed/moved from the original plan. Mike is my kind of salesman, Matt is a wizard, the crews that changed my house were masters of their craft, and of course, Fran is an absolute delight each time you get her on the phone. All of their support staff are great, but Fran takes the cake. She's a hoot. I'll be seeing these folks again next year when I replace my door. No one else will even get a call."

"Update: The owner read this review and reached out to me directly to try to make things right. He was understanding of my complaints and treated me with respect. I requested a quote for siding repair, told the receptionist we needed siding repair, and then when the worker came he told me they don’t do siding repair. They only do full replacement, which we are not interested in doing at this time. Worker was condescending and said he needed to talk to my husband. Very disappointed in this whole experience."

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.
