Star Home Improvements is responding to our community by offering “no appointment” price quotes for our top quality entry doors, replacement windows, siding products and roofing needs. You can get busy shopping now, while continuing to protect yourself, and your family from infection. Reach out to us and set up a Zoom or Face-Time appointment today!

"Give this company a call for your windows! Today, a crew of five led by Carlos came out and replaced 17 windows in my home. They worked like a well-oiled machine, and the house has never looked better. Roland came out and gave me an honest, transparent quote after I had interviewed eight different companies—both big and small. Some of the larger companies gave me outrageous prices, but Roland saved me money while still delivering top-quality work that will last. He’s a man who stands behind his work, and that gave me complete confidence in choosing them. I cannot recommend this company enough! Look at my Google review for pictures "

"No estimate or work was done so I can't comment on any of that. The salesman apparently so hated to wear a mask that he felt the need to be rude and unprofessional. When an emergency occurred during his visit, he got angry and ran – embarrassing himself and his company. To add insult to injury the company leadership felt the need to insult and try to provoke me. Yes, at the same time the salesman arrived we had a pet emergency. Clearly a minor one to some. The death of a baby chick. Sounds like a joke but it isn't. I have limited mobility so I shouted to my wife for help believing my wife's remaining chicks were also in immediate jeopardy. She was in her flower garden so I opened the window and shouted for her by name. She could not hear me. After watching the remaining chicks suffer in pain I again called for her. Panicking now, I shouted a third time as loud as I could for her, again by name. Not knowing the salesman had even arrived. I didn't know why she was delayed. Hearing me, our oldest son left his mom with the salesman and came to my aid. Upon his arrival and after seeing and evaluating the situation, he went for help. I left the room with him. At that point I saw the salesman, for the first time, in our bathroom at the sink with the door wide open. I asked (using please and sir) he allow me into the bathroom. Like a shot he left the bathroom, angrily stomped down the stairs, out the door and sped away. When I saw my wife she was almost in tears. She was very upset and it took her a number of minutes just to calm down. According to her, and my son, the salesman came up to her in the garden not wearing a mask. We had requested he wear one and was assured by the scheduler that he would. When she asked if he would put on a mask he leaned forward into her face and shouted "what!?!" I can't explain how freighted she told me she was. My son told me he was shocked and believed the salesman came so close to her face and over-accentuated his response to demonstrate how much he resented being asked to wear a mask. My son said it was as if the salesman was faking a cough or sneeze into a customer's face as others have done before being thrown out of stores, etc. According to my son, at this point he heard my shouts for help and left his mom with the salesman and ran to help me. According to my wife, the salesman then held a mask to his face and sarcastically said, all right!?, can we do this!? He apparently followed her as she quickly walked away from him and toward the house. When he entered the house right on her heels, he again very sarcastically said, can we just do this now!? As she described it to me, she with up the stairs with him closely behind. When she went to show him the needed work upstairs, he just left her and went to the bathroom - where I saw him for the first time. Any animal dying in my hands touches my heart - that's just me. As a 60+ yr old 100% permanently disabled veteran you can accuse me of being overly sensitive. My wife is a long retired 30+ year RN, nearly my age and is now my full-time care giver. I am house bound without her. Clearly she and I are not a threat to anyone. Immediately, not knowing what happened I called Handyman Connection twice, hoping to reach someone to find out what had happened. I left two message asking for a return call immediately from someone in authority; that I didn't know if I needed to call an ambulance or the police since my wife was unable to tell me what happened. I wanted an explanation and I wanted it immediately. I got a call back alright…. Apparently from one of the owners. He said he had spoken to the salesman already and knew exactly what happened. He sarcastically 'apologized' and that his salesman understood, that my wife and I must just be ‘having a bad day.’ I was livid. When I accused his salesman of being "mean" to my wife the owner's anger exceeded mine by 100%. He made it clear to me his worker had been an employee for many years and had "hundreds" of positive reviews - that it was just me and my wife. When I repeatedly tried to express the results of the salesman's visit -- the owner verbally fought me, clearly not even pretending to consider any other view but his own. I am not a fighter. I have gone to great lengths to avoid conflict, even to the point of accepting, even fainting support when someone misses or needs to change an appointment, etc. This is a weakness that I have been working on for years. I will do anything to avoid making others feel sad, bad or embarrassed. However, the salesman, and now the company owner had insulted my wife. The owner refused to give me an email address so I could more clearly explain what had happened when I calmed down. He said he didn't want to hear any more of it, or from me again. He added that I was obviously a serial complainer and I didn't matter anyway. He ended by hanging up on me."

"This company is very shady and unethical. We selected them because of the price. It was substantially lower than other quotes received. The reason it was lower was because it wasn't accurate. With the dumpster in our yard, and the roofing materials delivered only then did they "discover" we also needed all new planking. We were prepared and budgeted for a $21,300 project. Suddenly we needed to come up with an additional $8,500 for the plywood. This was part of all the other roofer's quotes. When I voiced that I wanted to use another company they told me I signed a contract and they planned to enforce it. If I broke the contract I would have to give them 1/3. I had no choice but to cave. When I pressed on why this wasn't discovered until they started- they had no response. I was stuck and was forced to proceed (or walk away from $7,100). BEWARE!!! 6/25/2025"

FAQs for vinyl siding install or completely replace projects in Winchester, VA

Vinyl log siding lasts 30 years on average, with premium products reaching 60 years when properly maintained. This compares favorably to wood siding, which requires significant upkeep to maintain its appearance and structural integrity. Vinyl eliminates the need for periodic staining, sealing, and refinishing that wood demands. Its resistance to moisture, insects, and UV damage contributes to its extended lifespan compared to traditional wood alternatives.

For homeowners seeking the rustic cabin aesthetic without extensive maintenance requirements, vinyl log siding presents a compelling value proposition. With installation costs ranging from $6,000 to $16,500 and an average lifespan of approximately 30 years, the long-term value becomes apparent when considering reduced maintenance expenses. The investment makes sense for those prioritizing a distinctive appearance, modern durability, and minimal upkeep requirements.

Unlike wood siding that demands regular refinishing, vinyl log siding primarily needs semi-annual cleaning using mild soap and water to remove accumulated dirt and debris. No painting, staining, or sealing is required throughout its lifespan. The material resists common threats like termites and rot that plague wood alternatives. Homeowners should periodically inspect for loose panels following severe weather events and promptly address any damage to maintain the siding's protective capabilities.

Vinyl log siding is more economical at $4 to $11 per square foot installed. While steel alternatives offer superior impact resistance in severe weather regions, they come with higher material and installation costs. Vinyl provides excellent insulation properties and offers extensive color and texture options without the potential for rust development in humid environments. For most residential applications seeking the log cabin aesthetic on a reasonable budget, vinyl remains the preferred option.
