"Spent ~$50,000 on a new roof with them. Thought everything went well. Years later discovered that they had not sealed the cricket on the chimney well enough. Discovered water coming in and eventually rotting the wallboard, studs, etc. Had to replace entire wall. Called them about the issue, they sent a rep. He said it was the chimney's fault, it was leaking. Not so, opened the wall and ceiling and had another roofer come spray water on the chimney, nothing, no leak. Then sprayed water on the cricket, water came in. Exterior Medics would not admit any fault. Had it repaired, no leak, no problem since then. Had recommended to a friend, never gain, he also had a bad experience. DO NOT USE IF YOU WANT QUALITY WORK AND A COMPANY HAT STANDS BEHIND THEIR WORK."

"We were looking to increase our attic insulation and met The Home Doctor Company at the Capital Remodel and Garden Show in February 2025 as well as some other companies. We consulted with several companies and decided to go with The Hone Doctor for our attic insulation. The company rep, Chris Lear, was very good explaining what they would do and why our attic needed R-38 insulation. I knew we needed more but did not realize our attic was only R-13. I have worked with numerous contractors before on projects and felt this was a really good company plus they have great reviews. The installation of the attic insulation went very well. They do install siding as well but decided to put this project off for now. Would highly recommend this company."

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.
