San Jose Wood Siding Repair

He gave us an estimate and revised it when he found additional rot, but advised us of that possibility. He did what he was supposed to do, did good work, and charged the agreed upon price. He has already done some neighbor's homes as well and I'd highly recommend him.

Steve at Markoff was very helpful in both performing work he promised, repair and replacement of wood siding that had dry-rot, and also in the partial restoration of a Victorian style building in San Francisco. This started out as an external painting of the (front) exterior of the building. Markoff/Steve was recommended by my painting contractor because of dry rot and restoration needed ( it had probably been over 20 years since the building was painted. Ultimately, I was much more satisfied with Steve and his firm then the painting contractor. Steve went above and beyond the call of duty in not only doing an excellent and prompt job on the work promised, but he also was very helpful in dealing with next door neighbors who were not being cooperative in providing access to the sides of my building through their properties. In many cases, he facilitated/negotiated access not just for his workers, but also for the painting contractor (Classic Shades). I would definitely recommend Markoff/Steve.

This job was finished on time and professionally. The final cost was higher than the bid because a new problem was discovered during the course of work (a rain gutter had to be installed). The repairs were meant to fix a leaky area and they withstood the recent winter storms well -- no leaks to date.

A couple of years ago, they did a total kitchen remodel for us and they have been outstanding on both jobs. He?s done work for other members of my family and they?ve been delighted. On this last little job he did, he had another guy come in to do the actual work and he was extremely conscientious. He gave the entirety of the bill to the guy and didn?t take a penny for himself because that is the kind of guy he is. He is just terrific. He is on time or early every time. When he did our kitchen, he actually finished ahead of schedule and other contractors are blown away by such a report. He only uses subcontractors that are as punctual as he is so if the guy is late, he isn?t hired again. He makes his clients enormously happy. He is a fun Englishman; he cracks jokes and has a great time.

We can't say enough about how great this company is and echo the positive things said by other reviewers. AHR replaced the insulation, sheathing, water barrier and siding on one side of our two-story house due to prior water intrusion. We also replaced eight windows. Everything from the initial sales call to the last day working went just right. The window crew couldn't have been nicer, was on time every day, and did high quality work. The siding crew was awesome. Nick, Peter, and Andre were pleasant and SO hard working. They are a well oiled machine. The pump jack system they use allowed them to work around a shed that would have been very difficult to move. They were polite and efficient, cleaned up every day and were some of the easiest workers to have around that we've known. AHR also graciously adjusted their siding schedule to accommodate other contractors with minimal overall delays. Although we had to wait several weeks to get on their production schedule, we feel the quality of work was worth the wait. We will definitely use them again if needed and unhesitatingly recommend them!

Dan and his crew are typically on-time and on budget. The work site is kept clean and the workers focus on the job.

Worked evenings and one weekend in doing the jobs shown above. And we pleased with the final results of both jobs.

Brothers Home Improvements referred me to Brian and Accu-Built since my sliding doors needed to be replaced via new construction rather than retrofit. Brian came out and assessed the job, confirmed the price (which Brothers had previously estimated) and date for the work to be done. They came as scheduled and did the work and kept me apprised as they went on how long it would take and the dry rot and cost to fix. They paid attention to the details, did quality work and cleaned up everything before they left like they were never here at all. I had a great experience with Brian and the team that did the installation of the doors.

Mickey had discovered water damage on the wood siding underneath the deck steps to two rooms where he had installed new french doors for me. He removed the damaged siding and replaced it with new siding. He did a good job and everything looks as good as new. (Of course, I will have a painter come as he doesn't do the painting.) He didn't ask for any payment until the job was complete. His workmanship was good and he finished the job in one day. He cleaned up after himself. I am pleased to get help from someone with a high standard of workmanship. I know where to go when I have another repair .

My initial contact with Yiu Wong Construction Co. in asking for an estimate, was by phone. Subseqent contacts made by phone or e-mail, it most always took longer than I expected to get an answer from Danny. One time he did respond after Ihad sent a second email saying I had accepted his bid ,by apologizing for the delay, saying that somehow my e-mail had ended up in his computers Trash. Originally, replacing the siding that was on the outside wall of both our living room and kitchen, and where we otherwise would have spent most of that day, preparing, eating: meals, reading, relaxing. Had been scheduled to take two, possibly three days, starting on a Thursday. Removing the old and replacing it with new siding, entailed the pounding of several hammers all day, which then reverberated through the whole house. My wife finally took refuge in a bedroom on the opposite side of the house and closed the door to get away from the noise. Not much help. The workers had arrived not at 9:00AM as scheduled, but some time after 9:30 AM. Initially two men were working on replacing the siding, then Danny Wong joined the crew, and after a while a fourth man joined in also. Early that afternoon, I was told they now would probably be able to finish the job by the next day. Several hours later I was now told that they should be finished replacing the siding by that same evening, at 6:00, it was then about 4:00PM. Remember, we had been subjected to the constant pounding of hammers all day, frankly we were tired of it. wanted it to end. I remember thinking,and quot; OK, you said you'd be done by 6:00, we can put up with it til thenand quot; The crew kept working , 6:00 PM came, and went, then 6:30, 7:00, finally by 7;30 they were completely finished ,cleaned up and gone. Danny Wong did apologize before he left for taking so long. In response, he was told that we had expected to have been told that before hand, not after the fact. The next day, Friday, the land-line phone and also my computer wouldn't work I e-mailed Danny and asked if some how in detatching and reattaching the outside telephone wire it some how got messed up. In the afternoon one of his workers David came to make a temporary repair to the 55 year old deteriorated telephone wire, and suggested I call ATand T to replace the whole wire. I thanked David for his repair and also Danny Wong for his quick response to my E-mail.
