Client Reviews

What Central Kentucky
Homeowners Say

★★★★★

"I cannot recommend this company enough. We had hail damage to windows, siding & gutters and fought insurance for almost a year. I contacted Big Red and within a week they stepped in and started working. They took over the insurance claim, the crew was polite, and they finished ahead of schedule. The work is amazing!"

"Big Red was great. They checked my roof for leaks and fixed some interior drywall and ceiling problems that the leak had caused. Honest, fast, and the price was fair. Would use them again without hesitation."

"They replaced our roof after storm damage, then we decided to replace our old deck and put it under roof. The crew showed up early and worked into the evening to finish quickly. We are now enjoying our new deck every day!"

Material Comparison

James Hardie vs. Vinyl Siding

The two siding materials we install most often are fiber cement (James Hardie) and premium vinyl. Both are good products. They serve different priorities. Here’s the honest comparison:

James Hardie
Fiber cement
Premium Vinyl
(Norandex, etc.)
Lifespan
50+ years
25–40 years
Cost (installed)
Higher upfront
Lower upfront
Look
Looks like painted wood
Improved dramatically in recent years
Fire resistance
Non-combustible
Melts at high heat
Impact resistance
Excellent
Good (depends on quality)
Maintenance
Repaint every 10–15 years
Wash occasionally; no paint
Color longevity
ColorPlus tech holds well
Embedded color; never repaints
Resale impact
Highest perceived value
Good but lower premium

Our honest take: if you’re planning to stay 10+ years and care about long-term curb appeal and resale, James Hardie is worth the upfront cost. If you want a great-looking, low-maintenance siding upgrade without the premium price, modern vinyl from quality manufacturers performs beautifully.

Warning Signs

When Siding Needs Replacement

1
Cracking, splitting, or warping. Once siding cracks, water gets behind it — into the sheathing, the insulation, and eventually the framing. Repair is rarely effective once cracks spread.
2
Bubbling or buckling. Moisture trapped behind siding is creating pressure. This is a clear sign of water intrusion that needs addressing immediately.
3
Fading or chalky color. The siding’s UV protection has broken down. Cosmetic at first, but signals that material integrity is degrading too.
4
Mold, mildew, or rot. Especially around windows, doors, and the bottom course. Surface mold can sometimes be cleaned; rot means replacement.
5
Loose, missing, or hanging pieces. Often from wind events. Bare areas expose the home to water and pest entry.
6
Energy bills creeping up. Compromised siding lets the building envelope fail. Your HVAC works harder and bills rise.
7
Visible peeling paint inside the home. Counterintuitive but real: when siding lets moisture in, interior paint starts to peel from the wall behind. Always check the exterior first.
Care & Maintenance

Keep Your Siding Looking New

Modern siding is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. A few simple habits extend the life significantly:
