Diamond Contracting

Spring weather is hopefully around the corner. Sun shining, birds singing, grass turning green, kids playing in the yard, grilling out, home improvement projects on your mind. Isn't that exciting? This is the time to thoroughly walk the exterior of your home; looking for areas that look faded discolored, rotten, chalking paint, peeling paint, failing caulking, clogged gutters and/or downspouts, fogginess in window glass, landscaping in need of attention, etc., etc.....
There is a lot of homeowners that seem to neglect their biggest investment. When we hear or notice something wrong with our vehicles, they immediately get car into a mechanic for inspection. Why should we treat something that is worth ten times that any differently? Have your home inspected yearly by yourself and about every 3-4 years by a qualified professional contractor.
You can do some preventative things yourself that can keep your home looking its best year after year. Washing down your windows and siding with a garden hose every Spring and Fall is one. Keep all landscaping 8"-10" away from your home's siding. Keep mulch and dirt 6" below the lowest point of siding on any wall and slope it away from the home.
Be Pro-active and protect your home by trimming trees and shrubs away from home. Keep gutters debris free. Adjust sprnklers facing away from home. Never use ice melt next to siding. These few extra precautions will save you from the expense of re-siding your Kansas City home prematurely.

On Sunday evening, a storm pelted Olathe, KS with half dollar sized hail. Many families were victims from the storm. Hail damage broke out many windows in area homes. We have been experiencing a high call volume after the Sunday storms went through Johnson County, Kansas. Homeowners have full house damage including siding, windows, roofs, gutters, & decks that were all beaten up by the storm. Many homeowners have already called for help getting windows boarded up and tarps on roofs. If you are or know a victim please give them our phone number (913) 829-TOOL (8665). Diamond Contracting is located in Olathe, KS. We can come right over and protect their home from further damage, help with insurance claims, and give free estimates for home improvements.

I'm a siding contractor, so when my siding was wearing out..... James Hardie was our only choice for replacement siding.
Our home was built in 1999. (Suprisingly enough, the majority of my customer's homes are between 10-30 years old).
Just like many other homes in Johnson County Kansas, ours had panel or vertical compressed wood siding on the three sides and back.
With lap siding and stone on the front. (This is called a tilt-wall construction building method and is very unique to Kansas City area). James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered for Kansas City's climate. By adding housewrap and siding on top of your existing siding or substrate you are creating a double layer wall that will keep the draft out. It is designed to last a lifetime, resist cracking, rotting, hail damage, termites, woodpecker attacks and protect you against many other possible problems that Kansas City residents are oh so familiar with.
We chose James Hardie beaded smooth lap siding for all four sides of our house. Our color is Heathered Moss for the body of the home. We used HardieTrim, in cobblestone. We used James Hardie Staggerd Edge Shingles on the front two gables areas above the garage to make for a beautiful acccent to the stone and lap siding. We made our choice to go with America's #1 brand of fiber cement siding, James Hardie. Weather you live in Shawnee, Overland Park, Olathe, or Leawood Kansas, a James Hardie siding installation will increase the beauty, value, safety and durability of your home. Take a look at the James Hardie siding products that Diamond Contracting, a Hardie Preferred Remodeler, has to offer.
