- What’s the most cost-effective way to reside an older Rochester home?
- Quality mid-grade vinyl, done completely. The panels themselves aren’t where jobs go wrong — it’s what’s underneath, so the money goes to tear-off, substrate repair, and new house wrap, then a vinyl line with a real warranty rather than the big-box builder grade rated for 15 weak years. Skip the premium profile upgrades if budget is tight; never skip the wrap or the rot repair. That order of operations gets an older home 25–40 protected years for the least money.
- The bottom of my walls looks rough — is that a siding problem or something worse?
- That’s exactly what the substrate inspection answers. Staining, swelling, or softness low on a wall usually traces to splashback, failed old flashing, or grade-level moisture — sometimes it’s cosmetic, sometimes the sheathing behind it needs replacing. We strip to the sheathing on every full replacement, so nothing gets guessed at: you see photos of what’s actually there and a written price for any repair before new siding covers it. No discovery fees, no mid-job surprises.
