One of the most dramatic ways to upgrade the appearance of your home is with new siding. Adding new exterior siding is a significant investment and will affect not only your home’s look but its value as well.

Choosing among the many types of siding products available can be an easier process when you’re working with an experienced, reliable contractor. CalFinder can connect you with reputable and seasoned siding specialists who can take a lot of the guesswork out of deciding which style and type of siding will work best for you and your home.

The advice to look for a siding material that suits the style of your home is simple and solid — and yet, in this day of seemingly limitless options, it can be challenging to hone in on the most effective solution. Stucco, stone, wood, brick, shingles, and shakes are all popular siding types that have been around for a long time. You can also choose from composite wood, aluminum, seamless steel, and vinyl. Looking at resources like Better Homes and Gardens’ Siding Options for Your Home will give you the basics to consider as you start meeting with contractors for more specific advice and estimates.

CalFinder connects you with local siding contractors who can ensure that your project is done professionally for visual appeal and technical excellence. Here are a few examples of outstanding projects and contractors. (more…)

ABC Seamless specializes in everything that has to do with the exterior of the home, from gutter and leaf protector projects to siding, roofing, and window projects. Nicholas Goodroad, Marketing Director for ABC Seamless Siding and Gutters, ABC Window, ABC Sunrooms, and Hurricane Leaf Protector, says the biggest concern for a contractor should be respecting and being careful around and in their clients’ houses. “Customer service and the overall experience a customer has with us is more important than ever before,” Nicholas says.

If you wonder what the overall experience or process of working with a contractor will be like, here’s a typical step-by-step scenario from ABC Seamless. Nicholas says:

1. After a project has been sold to the homeowner, we will send them a letter from our production manager updating them on our schedule and letting them know what to expect on a project like theirs.
2. Next, they will get a call from our measuring tech, who re-measures everything that is sold.
3. We then make the appropriate orders to get the products and material into our warehouse. (more…)
