"United Home Experts does not stand behind the quality of their work, which in the case of a 20K+ project that they did for us, involved a significant oversight that rendered that work pointless. I think -- and other contractors we have brought in to look at the problem think -- that the oversight was significant enough to demonstrate negligence on their part. We hired United Home Experts to replace the roofing and the section of our deck over one of our garage bays, where water leaks had caused damage to the ceiling and walls of the garage. The sole purpose of the 20K + project was to prevent further damage due to leaks. Because of their failure to properly flash one of the walls adjoining the deck (they flashed another, longer wall), within three years, water had leaked through the wall and caused more significant damage than what they had been brought in to fix. The 20K+ was wasted. United Home Experts has refused to take any responsibility for failing to deliver on what they had promised. I have attached photos of the ceiling of our garage and the wood rot behind it. In one of the photos, the rot is so severe that the wood is completely worn through. Again, this happened within three years of contracting United Home Experts to do the work. I also attached a photo of the poor workmanship of their deck re-installation -- splitting in the joists that they had just installed. I caught the problem and made them reinstall the joists but didn't catch their failure to flash one of the walls adjoining the deck. In general, I found the company to be extremely unresponsive throughout the installation process and uncooperative in attempting to resolve this issue. The representative handling the account has been ducking me, repeatedly failing to call back within reasonable time frames (or most recently, even within a time frame he had set). We hope that United Home Experts will change course and attempt to respond reasonably to the damage that their oversight caused. The President of the company claims to be a "faith-based entrepreneur." Whichever faith that happens to be, his company reflects poorly on it, at least in our case. P.S. I expect that in attempting to respond to this review, United Home Experts will blame the installers of the original deck (since that was their explanation to me directly). They completely replaced the section of the deck and roofing where the leak took place, so that argument does not make any sense."

Vinyl siding is almost always more affordable than wood. Its materials are inexpensive and installation is straightforward, making it more cost-effective than wood, which calls for high-quality lumber and more labor-intensive work. Keep in mind that wood offers a warm, classic look and, with proper maintenance, can enhance curb appeal and resale value in a way that vinyl may not.
Well-maintained wood siding can serve your home for 40 years or more. Routine care is the best way to maximize its lifespan. Simply wash it gently, seal or stain it every few years, and replace any boards that show signs of rot or insect damage. Touch-up paint or stain helps keep UV rays and moisture at bay, while prompt repairs prevent minor issues from spreading.
Covering a 1,500-square-foot house with wood siding costs an average of $12,500, assuming professional installation and mid-range materials. You can reduce the price by choosing a less expensive species or tackling minor prep work yourself, but weigh the savings against the time you’ll invest and the risk of mistakes. Hiring a vetted professional usually delivers a tighter fit, a longer lifespan, and warranty protection.
Swapping vinyl for wood is feasible as long as your home’s framing and sheathing meet current building code requirements. A contractor will strip the vinyl, inspect the substrate, install a breathable house wrap, and maintain a clearance of at least six inches between the new boards and the ground to prevent moisture from accumulating. Because wood and vinyl behave differently, budget extra for the transition. When done right, the upgrade adds rich character and can lift your home’s value.
In some cases, you can install new wood siding right over an existing layer, but only if the old material is flat, solid, and completely dry. Your contractor will first verify that the walls are structurally sound and that adding weight will not violate the code. They’ll also pay close attention to drainage planes and ventilation to prevent moisture from being trapped. If the existing siding shows signs of rot or warping, complete removal is the wiser choice, even though it incurs additional labor costs of roughly $7 to $13 per square foot.
