Looking to Replace Your Windows? Here’s a few types to consider.

Replacing the windows in your home can have some big advantages, but also raises some big questions – what kind of windows should you get? What are the advantages and disadvantages of one type over another? Here at UHE we take in the factors that goes into deciding which product fits best for our customers and tailor each free estimate to the liking of the homeowner.

In this article, we wanted to examine the different types of windows, and the advantages of each.

1. Wood Windows: If you’re looking to maintain the historic look of your home, then wood windows can be a great match for you.

While they tend to be a bit more expensive than vinyl or composite windows, wood is extremely sturdy, and surprisingly strong in areas of energy efficiency.

Recommended brands include Andersen Woodwright windows, which offer great beauty, furniture-grade durability and strong energy efficiency.

Wood windows are available in a variety of aesthetic configurations and colors.

2. Vinyl Windows: Vinyl is a very flexible type of window. It tends to be a bit less expensive than wood windows. Many vinyl windows are available in double-pane (2 layers of glass) or triple pane (3 layers of glass) with Low-E coating and argon or krypton gas making their sound proofing and energy efficiency second-to-none.

Maintenance is also very easy on Vinyl Windows. In terms of recommended brands, we prefer Generations windows from Simonton, which offers a wide range of color configurations, interior wood grain laminates, and very strong production.

3. Composite and Fiberglass Windows: Composite and Fiberglass Windows provide the strength and beauty of wood windows, while combining excellent weather resistance and durability.

Marvin wood windows and doors are a perfect solution for homeowners seeking a better insulating and better functioning window or door without losing the beauty of real wood. In terms of brands, we recommend Marvin Integrity fiberglass windows and Pella Impervia Composite Windows.

Marvin has successfully combined the beauty of solid furniture-grade wood on the interior with the convenience, strength, and durability of heavy extruded aluminum on the exterior.
Marvin windows are made from 100% pulltruded fibreglass and have beautifully narrow frames to minimize the amount of glass lost with a replacement window.

Pella windows use a patented composite/fiberglass material named Duracast (r) which ensures strong, durable, low maintenance, and energy efficient windows.

With these handy tips, you’ll be able to make an informed decision on your replacement windows, so that you can be pleased with your decision for years to come.

We know how important it is when it comes to making an investment on your home and because of that, UHE would like to take care of your home improvement project.

The 7 Steps to Beautiful and Durable Exterior Siding

1. Choosing a Contractor:

  • Choose a contractor you feel comfortable with.
  • Know how and where to contact your contractor.
  • Verify that your contractor is insured; ask for a “Certificate of Insurance” showing both liability (for your property) AND worker’s compensation (for their workers)
  • Confirm the references
  • Check for home improvement or appropriate contractors license, such as Mass HIC License No. United Home Experts a division of United Painting Co. Inc.’s Massachusetts HIC License number is; 130101, RI Reg # 22948

Beware of:

  1. Someone who doesn’t use contracts or is very vague in their scope of work (time may pass from when your project is estimated and when it is actually performed. A written contract helps both the contractor and the customer get what they expect)
  2. A contractor that competes based on price alone (If these guys even show up to do the work, you may have far more problems than the cheap price is worth)

2. Removal of old siding:

  • Timely contracting for delivery of a trash hopper (dumpster)
  • Covering & protecting delicate areas around the house
  • Safely removing siding and nails
  • Disposal of old siding and other deteriorated siding components
  • General area clean-up prior to re-applying siding

3. Preparation and inspection:

  • All sheathing and flashing under the siding is inspected
  • Repairs to wooden sheathing, corner boards, fascia boards and other trim not readily visible can be made with the owner’s prior permission at additional cost
  • Full siding areas are covered with TYVEK or similar barrier sheeting
  • Open cracks around doors and windows are caulked, and flashing is replaced if needed

Beware of:

  1. Don’t try to save money by cutting out preparation. Most professionals will agree that proper prep is the single most important component in the longevity of a siding job. Conversely, improper preparation can result deterioration of siding and any subsequent paint or stain application.
  2. Poor or ineffective flashing must be replaced. Controlling water flow will add years to the life of any siding or trim installed.
  3. Old and new houses need a moisture barrier: Moisture movement through the siding must be controlled. A vapor barrier product (like Tyvek) provides a lifetime of protection and is even better than asphalt paper.

4. Siding:

  • Application of Red or White Cedar shingles or clapboards are the premium siding products offering the most value in New England today!
  • Only premium quality products are used such as CVG shingles (clear vertical grain), or CLEAR clapboards. Pre-primed siding is available at extra cost.
  • All cedar siding is attached using “ring shanked” stainless steel nails.
  • Exposure of the siding will be the same as previously siding or custom as agreed upon in advance.
  • Full runs, (long pieces of clapboards), are used as much as possible both for looks and for long life. Shingle seams are staggered again for long life and good water run-off control.

Beware of:

  1. When it comes to siding, There are MANY different grades of cedar and other woods. The lesser grades tend to be cheaper, but often times filled with knots, blemishes, or low grade finger joints. Many contractors that compete based on price alone are quoting with a LOW grade siding product. We believe that you will get what you pay for with the materials for your home and therefore we use only top quality siding products.

5. Clean-Up:

  • Performed daily and upon completion of the job
  • All supplies and refuge are removed
  • Plant beds cleaned and wood chips removed
  • Outdoor fixtures and furniture are replaced
  • Several pieces of clapboards or shingles are left for future use

side_wood_56. Inspection:

  • Before the crew leaves a job, a “walk-around” is done to ensure all contracted areas are repaired and completed properly.
  • Final points are noted on a Quality List and are promptly addressed.
  • A United Standard Inspection is performed by a Foreman or Project Leader.
  • The United Customer Comment Card is completed by the customer.

Beware of:

  1. You are missing out as a customer if you don’t get a chance to walk through the job at the time of completion. Our foreman and project managers try to estimate at what point in the day they will be finishing the work, so that our customers can have ask questions and feel comfortable with the finished project. Many customers have told us time and time again, that “It’s the little things that count.” We hear you.

7. Warrantee:

  • United offers a written 5 year limited warrantee on all siding and carpentry services.
  • We also offer a Follow-up Maintenance “check-up” Program unique to our industry

By choosing United Home Experts you are selecting the services of a professional contracting and painting company.

Over the years, many home and property owners have realized the benefits of our company and have allowed us to fill up our exterior schedule early in the spring. So please let us know as soon as possible so that we may make time to schedule your project!

Cedar Siding: Clapboard and Shingles

We’re Cedar Siding Contractors in MA, RI, & NHside_wood_1

United Home Experts & United Painting Co. is your professional siding company. We offer cedar clapboards (also called beveled siding), cedar shingles, and cedar shakes (bigger, rough cut shingles). We also install many different styles and types of novelty wood siding. We believe that when maintained properly, it’s hard to beat the rich look of natural wood. A quality wood exterior should last as long as you own your home, and should improve your home’s appearance and value. We use many of the best grades of red or white cedar shingles or clapboards.

Did you know that cedar siding can last for hundreds of years? A recent siding project of ours in N. Andover, MA, built in the early 1800s, had only a few repairs required to the original clapboard siding. This damage was due mostly to extended snow build-up near the base of the house.

Reasons why some customers choose Cedar Siding

side_wood_2Cedar Siding is Beautiful

Cedar Siding is, above all, a wood of exceptional beauty. In its natural, unfinished state, it has a richly textured, tactile grain combined with a palette of warm, mellow tones ranging from light amber to deep honey brown. Cedar Siding also remains subtly aromatic, and the characteristic fragrance of cedar adds another dimension to Cedar Siding’s universal appeal.

Cedar Siding is Durable

Cedar Siding contains natural oils that act as preservatives to help the wood resist insect attack and decay. Cedar siding is also a dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. Properly finished and maintained, cedar siding ages gracefully and endures for many years. When high quality cedar is chosen, it is free of pitch and resin and it finishes to a richly glowing surface that can be enhanced with transparent or full-bodied stains or with paints.

Which Type of Roof is Best For You?

When considering the replacement of a roof, homeowners should take a look at different types of roofs and how they fit within the needs and desires of the homeowner before making a final decision. Whether working with a limited budget, looking for an eco-friendly choice, or just wanting to add character to a home, there are many choices available to suit a homeowner’s needs.

1. Asphalt Composition ShinglesAshland Gilman

For those with a budget in mind, asphalt composition shingles may be the best roof for them. The shingles are made of paper fiber mat or fiberglass and are mixed with asphalt and covered in tiny mineral bits. Asphalt shingles are purchased by about 80% of all homeowners. Unfortunately, asphalt shingles are a petroleum product, making them a less eco-friendly choice. Though asphalt shingles can be recycled, many times they are simply taken to the landfill. Durability for asphalt shingles is not great, particularly in hot climates. Most roofs will need replacing between the 15- and 20-year mark.

2. Wood ShinglesWood-Roof-resized-600

Wood shingles are a moderate choice in terms of affordability and run around the same price as metal shingles.  Only downfall is that they are very expensive in comparison to asphalt. Rot-resistant wood such as cedar is used to make these shingles. Wood shingles are an attractive, natural, and eco-friendly choice. Unless treated, wood shingles have low resistance to fire but excellent wind resistance. Wood roofs last roughly 15 to 25 years.

3. Clay Tile

Clay tiles are heavy but durable and last well over 50 years. However, homeowners will pay a premium for these gorgeous, character-filled roof toppers. Made from natural materials, clay tiles are eco-friendly and require little to no maintenance. Clay tiles are fine to use with moderate to steep slope roofs and are extremely fire resistant. Unfortunately, resistance to wind is somewhat low.

4. Slate

A slate roof is a primo choice in every way. The cost is quite steep—$1,000 to $2,000 per square—and require specially trained workers for installment. The payoff, however, is in length of life. These roofs are the oldest known form of roofing and will last practically forever. They are made from completely natural materials, making them eco-friendly. In addition, slate roofs have the highest level of resistance to wind and fire. Due to the weighty nature of these types of roofs, a reinforced structure is required to support them.

Choosing a new roof for one’s home is a big decision. It is important to consider style and needs, but equally important is choosing a good company to complete the installation. Many roofing contractors are notorious for poor service or running off with deposits. As a result, it is important to choose a trusted company with an established reputation.  United Home Experts is a highly recommended company that offers quality roof installation and friendly service. United Home Experts can offer homeowners affordable estimates to suit the needs of any budget.

Fiberglass Asphalt Shingles

There are asphalt shingles that use a different base material than the usual asphalt roof shingles. One of these is the fiberglass asphalt shingle. In contrast, regular asphalt shingle, also called organic asphalt shingle, uses paper or shredded wood as its base.  Fiberglass acts as the mat for this type. This gives it characteristics not found in the organic shingle.

What Makes It Different

These fiberglass asphalt roof shingles Roofare thinner compared to those with a paper base. The matting needs to be sturdy enough in order to support the asphalt placed on it. Because the fiberglass type needs less material to support asphalt, they are much lighter. Installation is thus made considerably easier.

Heat and fire resistance is also much higher with this type of roof shingle. Paper, being paper (or wood being wood, for that matter), is susceptible to heat and fire. This causes it to ignite at temperatures lower than the fiberglass variety. The higher fire rating of the fiberglass shingle makes it more ideal for warmer regions, although it can also work as well in colder ones.

The manufacturers’ warranties also differ. Fiberglass warranties go as high as half a century while the organic variety warranties generally range from 25 years to 40 years, or even less for some. The warranty, however, does not automatically make a particular brand a good choice. It represents, to some extent, the manufacturers’ confidence in their product.

Quality Standards

The material used to make a roof shingle does not automatically make it good. It depends on the standards used by the manufacturer when they make the product. The minimum acceptable standard for organic and fiberglass is different for each type. For the organic variety, the standard is set by ASTM D225. On the other hand, ASTM D3462 is the standard for fiberglass. These asphalt shingles need to meet these minimum requirements before they are deemed acceptable for installation in a home or building. How far these standards are exceeded by the manufacturer is an indication of their quality.

The United Home Experts Advantage

Here at United Home Experts, we strive to provide one of the highest warranties in the country for fiberglass shingles. On top of this we also provides a warranty on installation that ranges between five to fifteen years. This provides the prospective customer with an idea of how confident they can be with the roof shingles provided by United Home Experts.

CertainTeed, one of the best manufacturers in CertainTeed Logothe nation of asphalt shingles, have rated United Home Experts as a SELECT ShingleMaster. This is the highest rating they have for a roofer. This is due to the company’s long experience in the roofing business and the many satisfied customers it has. Incidentally, this has also earned them an A rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Brick and Stone Veneers Beautify a Home

A comparison between authentic and manufactured brick and stone veneers reveals that both the brick veneers and the stone veneers have more pros than cons over the genuine article. To begin with, the veneers are considerably less expensive to purchase and install, but they will never appear as authentic as the actual stone or brick themselves.

Everlast Home
An Everlast Composite Siding project done with a Stone Veneer front.

For homes located in a region such as eastern New England, true brick and stone may not be advisable. It is porous, so it allows moisture to seep between the stone and mortar, thus potentially causing severe damage to the exterior of the home. The stone and brick veneers are also more durable and more fireproof than the genuine stone or brick materials.

The manufactured product offers better insulation and requires less maintenance. There is no stain or paint required with faux rock veneer siding, and it requires no special foundation or footing, thus eliminating the time and expense of construction as is the case in the natural stone and brick materials.

In harsh climates such as that of eastern New England, siding is secondary in importance only to a roof in fending off the elements of heavy rainstorms, raging winds, and harsh sun. Siding materials manufactured of steel, fiber cement, vinyl, wood composites, and brick or stone veneers all protect the home from inclement weather conditions. These materials can be used creatively by mixing them, such as adding brick to wood shingles or contrasting stone veneer and a fiber cement product resembling cedar shake. In a period home, both the manufactured stone and brick veneer siding can be made to fit in beautifully when replacing damaged authentic stone and brick material.

The stone and brick veneer siding is manufactured using a mixture of natural materials like Portland cement, aggregates that are light in weight, and iron oxide for color. Together these ingredients give integrity to the stone’s natural appearance during the manufacturing process.

Once the mixing is complete, the resulting material is cast into natural stone and brick constructed molds, resulting in a realistic product weighing substantially less than their natural counterparts.Veneer-BlogPhoto29-resized-600

There is a wide variety of stone and brick types, colors and patterns available to suit every style of home from lodge to castle and modest to mansion. Brick and stone veneer can be used along with other natural or manufactured products as well to produce a custom look adding welcome curb appeal and overall value to the home.

Make a Statement with Barn Wood Siding

A house with an accompanying barn on the property is not a home until it encompasses the true nature and feel of the surrounding area in which it is located, as well as the pride of ownership of its inhabitants. Having both of these is no easy feat, especially when one has to factor in the cost of having these two mediums meet in the middle. Fortunately, it does not have to mean that a homeowner must sacrifice one for the other, but it does entail knowing all the options one has. That being said, one of the best-known secrets to beautifying a home and barn without breaking the bank is to invest in house siding materials.

Why Does Siding Make Sense for New England Homeowners?

Those living in the Eastern New England area know that its climate can prove quite challenging. Between the wet, rainy season and the biting cold winter months, a home and barn’s exterior takes a beating year after year. Any investment into the preservation of the structures’ exteriors must be made with those simple facts in mind; otherwise the expense is not justified. House siding takes care of all that; it gives the structure a sturdy, resilient exterior that can hold up to the most demanding weather conditions, yet brings an appealing aesthetic quality that will please even the most discerning critic. Available in options to suit a broad range of tastes and budgets, house siding is the right choice for the savvy homeowner.

Barn Wood Siding Has Traditional Appeal.

Making the decision to have high-quality siding installed is one of the fastest and most economical ways to change up the look and feel of a barn. Of course, with so many options in siding currently available, it is easy to feel overwhelmed trying to decide on just one. For those wanting to capture the appeal of Eastern New England living, nothing says authentic like cedar wood siding. The natural beauty of cedar is going to deliver a rustic appeal that will give a barn a pleasing facade for many years to come. This surprisingly affordable option ties together the best part of traditional materials and delivers it in a modern presentation that appeals to and surpasses current standards.

Ready to Take the Next Step? Let United Home Experts Help.

When it comes to getting the job done right, United Home Experts are the obvious choice. The company is there to take the homeowner step-by-step to completion, with guaranteed results – from helping the homeowner choose the best option to answering questions about the process itself. Don’t leave it up to chance; let United Home Experts demonstrate why they are leaders in the industry and the standard by which all others are measured.

Choosing a Cedar Siding Contractor

Selecting the right home siding in the eastern New England area depends upon choosing a knowledgeable, reputable contractor. Hiring an expensive contractor does not necessarily guarantee that homeowners will receive the best craftsmanship available. Inexperienced contractors tend to rush through clients, but United Home Experts has over 10 years of experience in the home renovation industry, specializing in the unique needs of New England homeowners.

Unethical companies often try to charge for services that homeowners do not need. In the end, homeowners regret picking an inexperienced contractor who provided second-rate craftsmanship at a high price. The best strategy for vetting home siding contractors is to pay close attention to the amount of information that a company conveys during their initial assessment.

Contractors that are new to the industry will simply list the general choices of home siding: vinyl, metal, composites, and wood shingles or cladding. Amateur home improvement companies too often omit the newest products on the market because these contractors lack the experience of working with new siding materials. One such new siding option is polymer siding, which has a cedar-like appearance. This siding combines the weather-resistance of composite siding with the rustic, organic aesthetic of cedar shingles, and United Home Experts has the know-how necessary to handle this new siding product.

Inexperienced contractors Wood Rothaphazardly install new siding on top of damaged exterior walls, assuring expensive home renovation projects in the future. Moisture damage underneath old home siding often hides the true source of the problem. Winters in New England are notoriously rough on home siding, but cedar-like polymer siding has the added durability and moisture-resistance homeowners require to stand up to heavy snowfalls. Experienced contractors like United Home Experts can discern between residual wear-and-tear and unsightly damage caused by inclement weather.

The problem of proper insulation goes unnoticed by the average contractor. The insulating properties of polymer siding make this popular siding material an intriguing option for New England homeowners. Homes have different insulation installed based upon the era when they were originally constructed. For instance, homes built before the 1990s very likely contain insulation that is not nearly as moisture-resistant as insulation installed today.

The best aspect of cedar-like polymer siding is its sheer beauty. Homeowners who desire the rustic appearance of wood siding should take a closer look at new siding materials. United Home Experts understands the link between craftsmanship and overall aesthetic, which ranks this siding company among the best in the region.
