"Our older home in Novato needed a serious exterior update and we decided to go with board and batten siding. Julian from Imperia Roofing & Exteriors helped us plan the project using James Hardie materials. The crew removed the existing siding, fixed a couple window areas that needed attention, and then painted the entire exterior once the siding was installed. It completely changed the overall character of the property."

"GVD Renovations was professional from the moment they walked in the door to give us a bid. Their entire team of professionals took pride in their job, had excellent skills, and the workmanship was excellent. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to complete a home improvement project. Thank you GVD. UPDATE 7/18/2019: Wood or Fiber-Cement Siding - Install or Completely Replace We had Gvd Renovations inc replace our James Hardie, roof and garage door, and add skylights. They did excellent work, used high quality materials, and made sure to do the little extra things that make the job complete. They were flexible in working with the scheduling of some of the other work we were having done, added a few extra items for very reasonable costs, and did not nickel-and -dime us on all the other little things that were not necessarily explicit in the contract, but that need to get done as part of the job. Two other specific examples of good workmanship and pride in doing a quality job: -another contractor who we are working with on our kitchen pointed out that the flashing that GVD used for windows was a really good product - better than what most contracts typically use. -They installed an extra weather stripping kit around the new garage door that was not in explicit in the contract, but make the end result all the better. Thank you Vlad."

"The job went smoothly, replacing the rollers in two large glass sliding doors. Prior to the job, they were almost impossible to move, now they roll in the track like new. I was a bit surprised by the price, however, the entire job took under three hours and four new rollers were installed, yet the price was almost $1,000, which seems high."

"Where to begin? Every phase of my project was excellent! I guess I can start at the beginning but leaving the best for last: First, Alex came by to measure the counter top area in the kitchen. High tech stuff and the quartz top fit perfectly when installed! They installed my sink, faucet, disposal, and dishwasher. Then, Vlad painted the entire inside of the house with 7 colors used throughout the house! Perfect trim work! Next, Merab and Vlad put up the oak window trim and did perfect sealing work around the wall and trim. The downstairs bathroom needed ceiling work done and Vlad more than met the challenge. Merab and Vlad cut the interior and exterior oak doors, stained them, and were put up in the new door frames. A hall fan was adjusted to the correct spacing. Special cuts of wood were made and stained throughout the house. The upstairs bathroom was done so beautifully with new mirror, toilet, shower doors and floor tile. Vlad did most of the work of this project and you would be lucky to have him working on your house project. Viktar the foreman is the one who brought all of these wonderful craft persons together to create the magic. Anastasiya is the project manager from heaven. Her attention to detail is extraordinary and was vital to the success of this project. Finally, none of this would have happened if it wasn’t for Rob Rathbun, the Senior Design Consultant of America’s Dream Home Works. It was because of him that this project happened at all. He listened carefully to what I wanted to do room by room. Then he would tell me what would and what wouldn’t work within the budget or structurally. Rob is a godsend! He is the perfect first representative to meet from this wonderful, professional, company. Top notch artists of their crafts, and the paper side of the company is right there with them. I cannot say enough about all the people at ADHW. Alex, Vlad, Merab, Viktar, Anastasiya, and of course, Rob! You won’t be disappointed! I am a very tough customer to please and they’ve earned a 10 out of 5 rating! I wish I could write more to tell all what a pleasure it was to work with America’s Dream Home Works! Thank you so much! Make sure you ask for Rob to be completely satisfied with the first representative you meet of this wonderful company!"

"We had initially called to get an estimate for one window, Alex came out to meet with me and my husband, we talked to him about what we wanted, Alex took a look at the one window I was looking at replacing, my husband had already said we needed to get the siding done first, Alex took a look around the outside of the house and said, getting the window replaced would not make any sense, because the siding was in really bad shape, literally falling off the house, Alex talked to us about the benefits of replacing all of the windows and the siding, lowering our heating cost, and making our home more comfortable, also increasing the value of our home if we ever decide to sell. We were given an estimate for the work needed, I was really afraid of what may come up cost wise once they started the work, as I watch HGTV faithfully and I have seen how it goes, where the cost keeps going up. Everything we were told went as planned, we were told up front that we may need gutters, Yep we needed gutters, we had already factored the cost in. We had to delay the start date due to the weather, but once the rain had stopped Russ and his crew came out and the work went seamless, they showed up on time, worked till dark, and called me to let me know when they were leaving. The crew took pride in their work, if we had any questions or concerns, they put us at ease with their knowledge of how to do the job. They cleaned up as if they had never been here. We are really happy with the end result and so are our neighbors, several have asked if we were planning to sell. We gladly tell then NO! We would surely use them again, We have given their name to several neighbors we hope they call them. Thank you Best Exteriors, and especially thank you Alex. The Mitchell's

"3 Generations did the siding and window replacement after my house was damaged in the October 2017 wildfire in Cofey Park. Kurt was so helpful and knowledgable, and worked with my insurance company closely. His crew did a great job. I also had 3 Gen remove my old, decrepit deck and put in a new one in redwood, half the size of the old one. Again, great work and pricing."

"We recently moved to Mill Valley and needed help with painting the the interior of the house, installing new Japanese toilets, repairing a leaky pipe in the crawl space, and putting up posts to string outdoor lights on the deck. We got a few different handyman recommendations from friends, but because Jessy was referred to us from a trusted source, we decided to go with him. Weâ re so glad we did because we are very happy with the end result and impressed with how quickly his crew was able to complete the work. Jessyâ s team was professional, efficient and executed our asks perfectly. He was in constant communication with us throughout the week, and provided regular updates as needed. We are very pleased with the quality of his work and would definitely hire him again for other handy work or construction needs in the future. We have since referred him to several of our friends and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a handyman or painter in Marin. ð"

FAQs for wood or fiber cement siding installation or complete replacement projects in San Rafael, CA

Yes, removing your existing siding before installing new cedar siding is essential for a secure and long-lasting installation. It helps eliminate hazards like rot and pest infestations and ensures a smooth surface for the new siding. Leaving old siding in place can compromise the appearance and integrity of your new cedar siding. Engaging a licensed siding contractor will ensure proper removal and preparation.

To determine how much cedar siding you'll need, start by measuring the height and width of each exterior wall of your home to calculate the area. For gable ends, measure from the base to the peak. Add up all these areas and then add an extra 10% to account for waste and future repairs. This ensures you purchase enough siding without running short.

Cedar siding endures between 20 and 40 years if maintained correctly from the start. This lifespan is secured by performing regular inspections for cracks, fungus, and bubbling and by pursuing consistent cleaning, painting, or staining with an appropriate sealant. Engaging a professional for periodic inspections ensures that your siding remains resilient and visually appealing for decades.

Your cedar siding must be maintained every three to five years through a thorough restaining or repainting process to preserve its strength and appearance. Regular maintenance prevents damage and ensures that the wood remains in peak condition. For homeowners seeking a less demanding upkeep schedule, choosing vinyl or aluminum siding offers a more resilient alternative while still providing exceptional style.
