Fantastic, I could not recommend this company more, Lon was very attentive to what I was saying during our walk through so he could find the right solution to our problem. We replaced approx 30% of the T-11 siding on my house in Antelope, replaced all the trim affected by dry rot and replaced the windows/slider. As they were sealing the new windows we could already tell the difference in the noise and how warm the sun felt through the glass. Brian was the lead installer for the windows and Ken for the siding project and they extremely knowledgeable and were fine with working around our 3 big dogs who had to go outside for bathroom breaks.

Excellent -- five stars! I needed the work done in a very short time frame and Good News Home Improvements was the only firm that was able to provide service within my window of opportunity. The work exceeded expectations in terms of quality and they replaced the small deck in the back which now looks great.

Very organized, prompt service and good price. Installers were professional, clean and friendly. They ran into challenges with my house but persevered to make sure the job was done right. They drove out of their way to accommodate me and laid plastic over the carpet to make sure it was clean. Great service.

Good News was terrific to work with from start to finish. The bid for our home siding installation was very competitive. The work was done in less time than estimated. I really appreciate how well the workmen clean up when the work was finished. Everyone we dealt with were friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend Good News Home Improvements!

My initial plan was to get 3 bids. My general contractor from another project did not follow-up as expected. Another highly rated firm on Angies List made a bid but told me I would not be able to install vinyl as the City of Sacramento would not issue a permit. Good News was the third competitor and proved to be the best. It predicted no problem with a permit and they were correct. Brian, the Sales Rep was punctual and professional during his visit. He did a rough measure and gave us a bid. Afterward he answered some questions and provided references once I requested them. Brian, (different Brian) a sub-contract installer came out, did a more precise measure and told me how to prep for the work. About a week prior to the scheduled install date, I got a call from GN asking if we were interested in having our windows done earlier as they had a cancellation. We said yes. The install happened without a hitch. Brian and a colleague worked about a day and a half to wrap up. They were punctual, neat, professional and good workers in every sense. Only time will tell how the windows hold up but I have every expectation they will be fine. I would not hesitate to call Good News for any future window projects.

Before I bought the deal I called and asked about the size of the windows because I had some that were big. He said it should be fine. When the first guys came out to measure he told me there would be an extra charge since the windows were over-sized. Told him I called and asked about that and it would be a problem. Then the owner came out to measure and told me that the new windows were thicker and needs a thicker wood window trim, which of course was an extra charge. He said he would come to the install to show me how to reattach my alarm contacts since they don't do that...he didn't, so I had to pay the alarm company to come out and reattach. The windows look and work great. The guys who came out to do the work were very nice, however I was not happy with all the extra cost. Perhaps they should come out and look at the job before saying they can do it for a certain amount.

Good News is the best! They take time to really measure properly and suggest the best windows for the space. We are extremely happy with their work and love the new windows and patio sliding door w/screen, which are much better and quieter than the 19-year-old ones Beazer installed. Highly recommend. Great, friendly, on-time service. Great price with Angie's List member offer too.

Like most contractors they were scheduling jobs about six weeks to two months out due to the prolonged rainy season. Unlike the GNHI crew that did our windows these guys were sub contractors. No problem. They showed up on time, worked like champs tearing off two layers of siding when we thought we had only one. They recommended new soffit because the old, cheap junk kept cracking whenever they touched it, so we did a change order and had them wrap the fascia boards also. Roger was to able to get the changes done at a fair price and with no hassle. I can't say enough good things about the installers. Quality work and attention to the smallest detail left us with a house that looks like new.
Description of Work
We'd finally had it with our cheap-looking, poorly installed vinyl siding and started looking for information and estimates. We settled on Good News Home Improvement because they were responsive and a pleasure to deal with- not because they were the cheapest. They were about in the middle when it came to price, but way better than the other contractors we dealt with. We were thinking about a fiber cement siding but they recommended LP Smartside, an engineered wood product because it comes in 16 foot lengths which means fewer joints, which matters when you have a large area to cover. It also has several textures that look just like rough sawn siding, comes pre-painted and has matching trim. We chose the LP Smartside in Mist Gray with white trim.

I took advantage of the list special for 4 double pane window replacements a total of three times. All my windows were a special order and cost more than the regular special price, since I did not want white on the outside, only inside. Also, due to county code some windows are tempered glass. The first visit was on 3/3/2015 and went exceptionally well. Details of the installation were explained clearly, politely, and professionally in a friendly manner. My old windows were metal and trim around two leaked. The two others had leaks in the insulating glass and were foggy. The first 4 windows were completely replaced in one all day visit by a very professional team of 2 by 3/31/2015 at a cost of $2,830. In May I again ordered the list special for four windows. On 5/18/15 the same team members arrived-- as always polite, on time, and friendly-- to do another very professional job. That job was completed 6/15/2015 at a cost of $3,019 and I was set for summer in the parts of the house I was using. In September I was expecting visitors so I again ordered the special to complete the house. The visit went as before with the teams arriving on time, cleaning up after themselves thoroughly both inside and outside. One window is specially manufactured due to its shape. The original 3rd order was for it to be the same Fairfield 70 series fusion-welded vinyl as all my other ones. However after 3 weeks the owner called me, warned me that this one might cost more, and we discussed what to do since the manufacturer stated they were unable to provide it. He checked up with another manufacturer of a higher grade window, Two hours later he told me that even though the cost to him was more he would't charge me any extra. All my new windows were installed and completely finished by 10/20/2015. The company is easy to work with. Phone calls and messages were returned with no problems. I love my new windows.

Quote was provided promptly. The work was completed a little later than projected, but this wasn't an issue for us. The sales person answered our questions completely. The installer arrived on-time, didn't make a mess, and seemed to be proficient at his job. The finish work for the installation (trim, calk) was done neatly. We've had the windows in for two months now, and have no problem with the way they operate. Price was in line with the other quotes we received.

I had Good News Home Improvement come out a few summers ago to give me an estimate to replace the 5 windows on the backside of our house as they face the hot afternoon sun each day and began to fail. You would sit on the couch and could actually feel a breeze in the winter. They were on time, professional, knowledgeable and came up with a great solution for our needs. The price was the best out of the 3 estimates we received and the quality of the product is outstanding. The windows look great and we haven't had a problem with them at all. I also feel like the windows have definitely helped with energy costs and saved us money. I would definitely recommend Good News Home Improvement for your window replacement needs. I love that the windows are also made locally. I look forward to eventually replacing the other windows in our house in the near future.

The estimate from Good News Home Improvement was very competitive. But I really chose to go with Good News Home Improvement because the owner, Ed Holliday, listened to my wish list for this project and made very helpful suggestions and recommendations that saved me money and got me a look for my home that I really wanted. The project started on time and the crew showed up every day on time (and some days even earlier.) They were professional and experienced. Their attention to detail was excellent. They were also very patient answering the myriad of questions I had for them at the beginning and end of each day. Good News Home Improvement is an honest, professional, and experienced company and I'm really happy that I chose them for my project. Highly recommend.

Couldn't have asked for better service. We are in the middle of several remodel projects and this is by far the best choice we have made and I couldn't be happier with the service or the products. This company was extremely professional. Showed up when they said they would and we're done when they said they would be done. I will recommend them to all my friends and family.
