"Smith Roofing & Exteriors is completely irresponsible and unprofessional. They ignored repeated warnings to cover our roof before a major storm, which led to severe water damage throughout our home. Instead of fixing the situation, they abandoned our project, leaving our deck roofs dangerously supported by 2x6s wedged into the ground. They?ve been nearly impossible to communicate with, and when they do respond, they are rude, dismissive, and show zero concern for safety. Since dealing with them, we?ve heard many other horror stories from others. Their high ratings are misleading ? stay far away from Smith Roofing & Exteriors."

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.
