[quote=Anonymous]Will you also need to repair the brick mortar? It needs to be touched up every so often too, to avoid leaks. Definitely hire someone who specializes in siding/roofing. They will be able to quote you on the trim replacement, too, plus identify other areas that need to be repaired. Get at least 3 separate evaluations/quotes and DO NOT pay for this up front. Ask them to look at your house and give you a bid for whatever painting and repairs need to be done on the exterior. Make sure they are doing all the work themselves and not subbing it out (i.e. hiring some day laborer to do the painting). Ask for and check references. Also, drive around and look for active work in your area. Contractors will post signs during/after their work and you can take a look first hand (and stop by after hours to get feedback from the residents).[/quote]
