Description of Work: I paid the company to install the siding and replace the existing insulation with R-13 insulation. Even after I told the installer, he went ahead and placed the moisture wrap on the old insulation. They tried to pull a fast one and I caught them!

We are glad that we were able to clear up the miscommunication of which areas would keep existing insulation versus getting the new insulation. It was a pleasure working with you and we are happy that you are pleased with the final product of our craftsman! We appreciate your feedback and hope to work with you again in the near future.

Description of Work: The contractor (Dave and Alyssa) were exceptionally professional. The started the job exactly on the date the promised and completed it 1 day ahead of schedule. The work is first class and all of our neighbors acknowledged that too. We would use them again. I wish the price was lower a bit, but looking back now I am extremely pleased regardless. They are fantastic.

Please allow us to clarify - In this situation, we understood the request to be for a small siding repair needed. We do provide re-siding services in the area - even though we are based out of Orange County - However, for such a small repair job, we advised that you would likely be better served by having a local handyman complete this job for you. We expect that you may be able to have it done for a lower cost than what our job minimum would be to tie up a full siding crew. Good luck and Thank you!

Things started out well. The company's representative (Dave) arrived on time and was reasonably pleasant. He took some measurements and told me that I would receive his company's bid via email during the following week. After many apologies for "computer problems" and "staffing problems", I finally received the bid about three weeks later. The company bid $10,200 for the job, which was about 60% higher than the average of the three other bids that I received. Again, this was just to replace the siding on one side of my home (as a point of reference, the house has about 1,900 square feet of interior space).
Description of Work: I own a home that has siding exclusively on the front of the house (i.e., a "California Front"). I requested an estimate from this company to replace the original, 50-year-old siding with new vinyl siding.

Thank you for your feedback. As we have emailed privately, we can't recall a time in over 24 years of business where we have EVER been anywhere close to "60% higher" than any other comparably matched, professional local siding contractor with license and insurances. Something here just does not seem right. As we have advised, you should proceed with caution and compare the details very carefully as you enter into a contract agreement. We recommend that you make sure that all promises are in writing, and that the product details for panel brand name, siding panel style name and detailed installation steps are well spelled out in the contract. Our itemized detailed bid does provide you with a good tool for your use to identify each step that needs to be done. Also, you should verify that the contractor's license and liability insurance and workers compensation coverages are active and are appliable to your purchase. Make sure warranty details are clearly specified. Check references carefully. If a worker was uninsured, and an injury occurred at your property, it could be a problem for you as the property owner. If you have a problem later, are you going to be able to find the contractor who promised you a warranty on his work? Be careful. Across the board, most comparable contractors all share very similar costs. When there is such a big difference in a bid, then something is usually not the same as an "apples to apples" comparison. We stay busy all year long by offering quality products at fair prices. We don't mark up our prices to unreasonable rates. We can sleep well at night knowing that we are a fair and reasonable professional contractor. We caution about low bidders who may get in the door with a lower price, then issue multiple work change orders to add to the contract for items that they claim were never included in the contracts. Read everything carefully! At Specialty Siding, our bids are complete, with the only added cost being the actual city/county permit fees billed, which we provide receipts for. We are typically NEVER the high bid. We usually fall between the low-to-middle bid, using the high end of the line grade materials. If you're shopping for just the lowest price in town, then truthfully, we were probably never your contractor anyway. These days you can buy car insurance for $29 a month, or have a car painted for $199... but is that where YOU would shop? Lastly, we did go back and verify the dates from the time of our meeting and the date the written bid was provided. We do want to make sure that we are providing the utmost in customer service. Our review has found that our timeline of events here is shorter than what you have claimed. In all seriousness, we do wish you all the best. Good luck to you!

After we talked to several siding companies, we noticed that Dave from specialty siding was carefully trying to match our siding repair needs and budget, while other siding companies either tried to persuade us to switch to products we didn't want, or were giving us too high price. David was very responsive, promptly returned calls, brought us siding samples each time we requested. We ended up replacing 3 feet high and about 74 feet in length of the siding on two sides of the house in our backyard area. Specialty siding carried Hardy planks we wanted, and the price with installation was very competitive, better than Home Depot installer could offer with all of the store discounts. Dave from specialty siding helped us to select the color of Hardie planks to provide the best complement to the color to the original shingle siding of our house. After the work completed, we were amazed by how professionally done and neat looking siding became! The work was done in less then 3 days, the work area was left very clean, and the house looks as if the builder originally designed siding with 2 separate contrasting, but complementary colors. We couldn't be happier... Even now, after more than a year since work was done, the color of the replaced zone of the siding still looks as if it is "freshly painted"! Thank you, Dave and "Specialty Siding"! Should we need any more work done to the house in the future, we will definitely hire you again!

Due to poor initial building of our house, over the years moisture had come inside the walls and produced a mold problem. We had to manage the issue from several aspects, and siding was a major factor in preventing further water damage to our home. Specialty Siding worked us in to their schedule as soon as possible, trying to "beat the rain" before we had more issues to deal with! They removed the siding, taped all seams, used flashing and secured the moisture barrier, then replaced with new fiber cement siding and caulked. We would not hesitate to highly recommend them.

They are a contractor and we had some other estimates that were cheaper but they were from handyman so it's a question of how good it would be done. They were a little expensive compared to other estimates we got. We haven't had the work done yet. They were high but other than that, the process of them coming out to give the estimate went well. They were very professional.

Thank you for your valuable time. If we may be of service, please don't hesitate to give us a call or send an email. With any work, the various product manufacturers carefully word their warranty terms to be based on "proper installation", which allows them to void a warranty if they find that the task was not completed properly, according to their requirements. Be cautious no matter who you hire for the job that they contract to complete the work properly as per manufacturer specifications to avoid a product warranty void. Also, be sure that they are providing you with a warranty on their work as well. Every year, our repair business for fixing other contractors or handymen work increases, which to us is not a good thing, because the homeowners end up paying for a job to be done twice... Sure, we do appreciate the work, but in good conscience, it bothers us that someone had to go through a bad experience first in order to get back to us. Of course, there are good handymen and contractors out there, so be sure to get in writing the terms of their warranty coverages. If you ever want to revisit this project, we look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again for your interest and your kind words! Much appreciated.

These guys were by far the cheapest providers. They were very professional and responsive. The contract was clear and explicit and there were absolutely no issues. They were able to knock out the job in one day and it looks great. Not only would I recommend them without reservation, I plan to use them to do a much larger job at my place in a few months. If you need siding done, USE THESE GUYS!!!
Description of Work: I had some old 1926 painted shingles replaced on the second story of my colonial with hardiplank shiplap siding. I got several quotes that ranged from $6000 to $2500. It wasn't a big job, probably about 120 square feet, but it was on a very steep roof and some serious angle cuts.

Thank you for your business! It was our pleasure to work for you and we greatly appreciate your comments and feedback very much. Your siding installation would be considered in the market to be a "small" job compared to many other projects. Even in this economy, we still find that there just aren't too many contractors left who are still willing to do the small jobs. They all want the big ones. Rest assured, here at Specialty Siding, we do value and do appreciate EVERY single job. We thank you and we look forward to any future business with you anytime that you're ready! Thanks again!

Thank you for your feedback! We value your business and appreciate the opportunty to work for you and Drake. We are glad that you liked the finished products on the exterior of your home. We knew that you would! May you enjoy the low maintenance benefits of the James Hardie fiber cement siding and trims for many years to come. Your decision was a smart one, as you won't have the problems you may have had for maintenance, weather elements and termites, etc. as may occur with wood siding and wood trim products. Also, please check with your insurance carrier to see if you qualify for any discount for having a decreased fire risk rating having the fiber cement siding instead of the wood siding materials. It may be helpful, especially in this economy! If you do have any questions or concerns, please contact us at any time and we will promptly address. (And... by the way, the individuals who failed to clean up the job site are no longer with our company. We have high expectations from EVERY person here, and we regret when we fall short of our (and your) expectations. We are human, and we admit that falling short sometimes does happen, however, we pride our company on keeping that to a minimum, and it's how you handle things when they do happen that makes all the difference in being a good or bad contractor.) We strongly value the opportunity to work for you. We pride ourselves on doing a great job - the first time - and every time. Afterall, you're only as good as your last job.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. The sales person, Dave was out to the job numerous times to check the progress. I called the office several times with questions and these were addressed immediately. I pointed out a couple of areas that were of concern to me and Dave had the crew redo those sections. The owner of the company, Mike came by the house to check the work as well. I am very pleased with the new look of the house and would and have recommended this company to anyone who wants to replace wood with the Hardy Board product.
Description of Work: Wood siding that was not original to the house was removed from the front and back of the house, also the wood at the apex of the front of the house that was part of the original stucture was removed and replaced with Hardy Board.
