I've had that same problem (but a smaller time frame) with our siding repair, because they all want me to replace the entire house's siding, which is too expensive a job. They all promise me that it won't cost me a dime! Dude, I work for an insurance company. I know you're lying to me.

I've had better luck going to my local "garage sale" group on Facebook, I kid you not, and posting a help wanted ad. People have messaged me with recommendations and some very nice contractors are stopping by tonight to fix my problems for $200 cash. They'd have fixed it yesterday if I'd had cash on hand. (I'm not saying you should do this. I'm saying that this is my desperation call and I hope like hell it works.)

Good luck! Homeownership can be the WORST.
