Sensible Home Products LLC

My house looks absolutely amazing, thanks to Jeremy and Sensible Home Products. Last winter, some siding came off of my house during a storm. I looked into several companies and the insulated siding that Sensible Home Products prefers was the best choice for my house. I decided to replace all of the siding and the windows, too. Jeremy said from the start that he delivers quality and he was entirely correct. He used quality materials and the men do quality work. I could not possibly have chosen a better company! My yard was cleaned up every day before they left. I never stepped on or saw a single dropped nail. Most importantly, my house is 150 years old and there were a few ‘surprises’ along the way. They did not ignore or cover up the issues with my roof and window frames, but took the time to fix them properly even though it extended the project time frame. Jeremy called or stopped by every single day to make sure I knew what progress was made and that I was happy with it. He knows what it takes to keep customers happy, but he was also very honest in helping me make the right decisions. I have received many compliments and people have actually stopped to comment on the beautiful improvements. I am so very pleased with the end result! Thank you, Sensible Home Products!

Let’s start with this… our house has been transformed into a work of art. We went from a house where everything that could possibly be painted, was painted blue, to a house with amazing contrast. We changed just about everything on the exterior of the house (siding, windows, doors & garage doors), making the before and after about as dramatic as it could possibly be. So much so, that people stop and take pictures, and that’s not a joke. We can’t thank the owner Jeremy enough for all of his hard-work because the finished product is simply amazing. The existing cedar shake siding was replaced with vinyl shake all around. We also went with mitered corners, which was a decision that Jeremy had encouraged. At the end of the project, we realized that he was 100% right about that. The decision about the siding color was a breeze. We had an idea about the color we wanted, and Jeremy mentioned that a brand new color was coming out soon and we should take a look before deciding. When we met with him the next day, he had already called the company and had a sample overnighted for us to see. Sure enough, this was exactly what we were looking for. We decided to replace the windows, mostly because of the inefficiency of the original single-pane windows. We went with Harvey Tribute’s and we love the classic look and design. Jeremy suggested this series over other options we were considering, and again, he was right about that. Also, the custom window trim that his guys made on the job site, are really nice. Jeremy explained how they wrap the windows to create the channel for the siding, which leaves it with a really clean look. The two front doors that we picked are what make our house really stand out. We knew we wanted a craftsman style door, but were a little apprehensive about going with a bold color. Jeremy suggested that we go for it. We went with the “persimmon” red color, and it was the best decision we made for the whole project. Yes they are bold, but still tasteful to go with our colonial house. We also had his guys custom-build the door surround, which really gives it a great contrast against the “cast-iron” color siding. The garage doors, originally also blue, were replaced with white carriage style doors and custom-built azek surrounds. This was mostly Jeremy’s vision, and WOW, they look ridiculously good!!! As the project was being planned, we decided to have Jeremy convert our sunroom into a more usable space. Jeremy’s ideas were exactly what we had envisioned. We now have a beautiful room that has turned into a kid’s playroom. Our choice to have Jeremy do the work will never be second-guessed. He made the process for us as relaxing as possible. Every time that we had a question before and during the job, I knew that if I texted or called Jeremy, I would get a quick response. During the project, our girls (2 and 5 years old) would wake up and ask when “the boys” are coming. Jeremy’s crew was always on time and ready to work! When we left in the morning, our girls would have to go see “the boys” and make sure they said bye. The best part about choosing Sensible Home Products is that even though Jeremy was just a contractor that I figured would come do the job and go on his way, he has become a friend. I will say this… we had some cheaper quotes and some that were so high they were laughable. At the end of the day, we went with Jeremy because he was the most honest with what he was going to do. The other guys wanted to cut some corners and use cheaper materials, even ones that were going to cost more. We just felt comfortable knowing exactly what we were getting. I would tell everyone who is looking for siding, windows and doors to go with Sensible Home Products. It sounds a little silly, but they really did make our dream come true.

We interviewed several top-rated (by Angie's List) contractors and selected Sensible Home Products based on Jeremy's obvious passion for his work and his attention to detail. He was the only one to notice an unusual gutter/drainage solution we have on our garage. He brainstormed several ideas with the goal of making it look as natural and unobtrusive as possible. His goal in every conversation we had was to make the house look as good as possible and to make sure we were thoroughly pleased. The crew was polite and hardworking and did excellent work. After removing all the old siding there were a few areas of rot to be dealt with, including the header above the garage door. Jeremy had to make a special trip to get a long enough 2x12 replacement. This attention to detail and commitment to doing things the right way was evident throughout the project. We were especially impressed with the door and window trim work, the trim around the garage door, and the custom decorative post they built for our front entryway which matches the style of our mailbox post and lamp post. We're thrilled with the way the job turned out and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeremy and Sensible Home Products in the future.

Let me start by saying that we had multiple companies come out to give us a quote - Jeremy was the only one who listened to our needs and didn't try to "sell" us on something we didn't want. We felt like we were the number one priority to Jeremy and his team right from the beginning. Now let's get to the actual work- We are absolutely thrilled with the job that Sensible Home Products did on our house. They went above and beyond in providing us with more than we expected. Our house has some rot on it and needed some work around the garage door, both things that the team fixed at their cost and not a penny more. Both of these extras that we were not expecting are things that have not only added value to our house, but things that might have been covered up by other companies. The crew showed up each day and worked extremely hard throughout the process. They kept our house and yard clean, gave us daily updates and treated us like a part of their family from day 1. Our once old and outdated house is now the most beautiful in the neighborhood. The quality of the work is absolutely outstanding. We have already discussed hiring Jeremy and the Sensible Home Product team for home improvements in the years to come. We can honestly say that Jeremy and his team are as honest and hard working as we have seen when it comes to hiring contractors.

Superb quality workmanship with outstanding results! We chose Sensible Home Products for our siding project because of Jeremy. From the moment that we met him, we were instantly at ease and felt that he was honest, hard working and truly a man of integrity. We were so right. Since we are planning on retiring within the next 5 years, we decided that it was time to update our home with siding, doors and lighting. Throughout the entire process, Jeremy was patient, mindful of our budget, extremely knowledgeable when we had questions, meticulous with the details and provided constant feedback as to how the job was progressing. Jeremy even recommended the colors for the siding and trim - absolutely fantastic decision! Jeremy lives, breathes and practices the highest level of Customer Service that we have ever witnessed – all texts and messages are responded to very quickly and you just know that he truly wants you to be happy and completely satisfied with the results of your project. Jeremy has also built a tremendous network with other industry professionals that he works very closely with. These individuals took care of the installation of our new garage doors as well as electrical for additional exterior lighting. And, did a fantastic job as well! Since our house was built in 1972, there were many unexpected situations that popped up. Jeremy let us know exactly what was going on and provided cost-effective and creative solutions regarding the best way to handle – all without ever skipping a beat. Jeremy and his crew took on the project for our house as if it was their own homes. Our yard and the work areas were spotless when we returned home from work. The quality of the workmanship was remarkable and the attention to detail extraordinary – a testament to people who truly care. We are extremely happy with the final result and thank Jeremy and his team from the bottom of our hearts – they took an outdated, worn-out house and transformed it into a magnificent, stately home.

We spoke with several contractors, but after meeting with Jeremy, we knew he was the person we wanted to work with. He was personable and professional, and does things properly. For just one example, he was the only contractor we spoke with that removes the existing siding before installing the new,and we were so glad he did! There were several places with rot underneath that he repaired before proceeding. If he hadn't taken the old shingles off first and found and repaired the rot, we would have been looking at a much bigger, more expensive problem down the road. Jeremy checked in frequently to see if we had any questions or concerns, and followed through right away if anything came up. His crew was terrific as well - courteous and professional and cleaned up every speck each night before they left. All in all, this was the best experience working with a contractor we have had. I highly recommend Sensible Home Products.

The work went well, the house looks like a new house. I was particularly impressed with the level of detail in the trim work around the windows and doors and a few of the difficult areas. The crew was polite and did almost all the work without any interference with our day to day routine. They even coordinated the windows so we only had to move some furniture for just one day. They cleaned up every day and picked up every little scrap. We had a couple of small changes ( a new storm door) and they added that for just materials cost. Overall I am extremely pleased. we will need a roof in a couple of years and I will use Jeremy and crew again. I couldn't imagine a sizable job could go so smoothly.

Jeremy and his crew did an absolutely amazing job. Our house was damaged in a tornado in May of 2018. Jeremy quickly responded to our call and came out right away to look at the damage. He even helped us work with the homeowner’s insurance company. Once work started, his crew was very professional, punctual, and courteous. They made sure that the work was done the right way. When damage was discovered underneath the old siding, Jeremy went out of his way to fix it and to make sure it was done the right way so that it would last. Our house looks like a completely new house! I would recommend Sensible Home Prodcuts to anyone looking to have their siding replaced.

Short version - Sensible Home Products has done a phenomenal job on our home. We are so glad we found Jeremy and his high rating is definitely deserved. We had a roof, vinyl siding, door/window trim, a few windows, gutters, garage doors, and garage trim all completed by his team in quick order. I was very impressed with the crew's professionalism and attention to detail. The work was completed quickly and afterwards there was no debris left to pick up. In fact, the dumpster was out of the driveway 30 minutes after the job was complete. Nice touch J. Long version - My neighborhood was hit with a freak hailstorm in Mid-May 2018. Tennis ball sized hail did a number to my house and every other house in a 2 mile radius. The very next day, the construction equivalent of ambulance chasers from all over the country converged and promised homeowners to fix it right. Big fancy trucks, matching uniforms, glossy pamphlets. Naturally suspicious of the convenience that they were selling I held off and met with local contractors and finally Jeremy (because of the high ratings). I am sure glad I waited. He laid everything out for me, showed me the quality of is work, suggested a few improvements within my budget and got right to work for us. Besides the quality of work I witnessed in pictures what really struck a chord with me was that his crew has been with him for years. It shows a lot of character in the construction business to have a crew work that many years for one general contractor. I could tell he cared about taking care of his crews and doing right by the customer. Fast forward 2 week before construction was to start and we had buyer's remorse on the color choice for the home. I still feel bad but Jeremy really went to bat for us on siding already custom made for our job and got it switched to a different color. It wasn't without some hardship so please, if you do decide on a color, stick to it. I'm not sure Jeremy could take another last minute change of that magnitude. Construction begins in early November. The construction crew shows up on time every day the weather permitted and even some days when it didn't. They had many, many windows and doors that required trimming out and, if there's one thing Jeremy takes greatest pride in, it's the trim work. There was one gentleman bending metal full time each and every day on the job and I continue to be amazed at the quality of their work. Whereas most aluminum trim is flat, they actually made several bends in the metal to give it depth and pop out more. Additionally, we ponied up for the Azek trim around the garage doors and wow! what a difference. I get compliments daily on how great the doors and trim look. As a consequence of having such a great looking house with everything so well put together I now see other homes differently. You never recognize the poor craftsmanship and cut corners until you see great craftsmanship. I thought my house looked good and that's why I bought it a few years ago. With the new siding/roof it made me realize how old and tired the house was. One last feather in Jeremy's cap is that he is a great communicator. There may not have been a day over the past month that I haven't spoken with him about the project. In comparison, my neighbor sent a large check to another contractor and has not been able to reach him for the past few weeks. In summary, the hailstorm was the worst/best thing to happen to this house and Sensible Home Products really went above and beyond in every facet of this construction project. Cheers Jeremy, great job.

When I first met Jeremy, I could tell he was different than the other companies I had come out for an estimate. The Joppa started earlier than expected, and I was very happy with that. The crew that came out was extremely professional with their work, and very meticulous as well. At the end of every day, where they were working on the house was completely cleaned up as if they were never even there. Jeremy came by almost every day to check on the progress, as well as talk to his crew, and talk to me as well to make sure that I was satisfied with the work. When the back of the house was finished, I sent a picture to my brother and sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law actually asked if I had brand new windows as well because the windows are framed like a picture and are absolutely beautiful. The color is exactly what I expected it to be, and I am thrilled because the siding has a backing to it which will help insulate the house. Now that the house is finished, it looks brand new. I am thrilled, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I have nothing but high praise for Sensible Home Products of Berlin, CT. From the day the work began, to completion two week later, I was taken back by the extreme high quality, professionalism, and neatness of this 4-man crew of dedicated workers. This story actually started four months earlier when Jeremy (the owner) made an appointment to visit our home and offer suggestions on various vinyl siding options. He arrived on the date and appointment time we set in advance (not like the other company that cancelled two hours before his date due to an "overbooking"). Jeremy brought actual samples of siding so a side-by-side comparison could be made. Not the small 4 inch squares of sample siding but the actual full length pieces that he positioned on our house. Jeremy explained how the job would be done - (complete removal of existing siding and house wrap; inspection of all the plywood and wood trim; and then the "wrapping" of windows and doors with vinyl trim). His enthusiasm in describing his crew's commitment to quality confirmed my belief that I had chosen the right company to install vinyl siding on our home. The men arrived on time and set-up a tarp on which they placed their saws - very neat and clean operation. Additional tarps were placed around the home to catch the old siding and nails. When their work day ended, all tools were picked up and put away; all old siding was placed in the dumpster; and any small pieces of new siding was cleaned up. This process was done each and every day so there was never a mess around the house or tools to walk around. Work progressed quickly each day with no time wasted. I noticed the high quality of installation - such as a level being used on the recessed trim around the dryer vent or the electrical outlets. It may seem trivial to be that precise, but every piece of siding is straight and level. Jeremy checked in on his crew throughout the entire job and called me just about every evening to see if I had any concerns or comments. I was very pleased with the outcome of the installation of vinyl siding on our home and outbuilding. Jeremy even installed a new window; a door; and a garage door - no more painting for me! In closing, I would highly recommend Sensible Home Products of Berlin, CT for any siding need. Their attention to detail; professionalism; neatness; courtesy; and on-time performance was second to none. Jeremy has an excellent crew working for him and the end result was fantastic.

I’ve had very few home improvement projects exceed my expectations, but the siding work Sensible Home did on my house did just that. Jeremy sat down with me to review every aspect of the project, from the type of siding and benefits of each to the small detail work around existing plugs and vents. He was patient with my every question (and there were many) and explained things in great deal. At the end of the day, my focus was not on price—although Sensible was competitive with the other vendors who gave me quotes—but on quality. At the end of the day, the project was delivered on and on budget and it made my house striking. The little things matter and every cut, trim piece, and accent speaks to the level of quality Jeremy and his people bring to their work. I could not be happier with the finished product and every one of my neighbors has complimented me on the look.

Wow, I can’t say enough good things about Sensible Home Products! Jeremy came to my home and we discussed the siding and trim job. Agreed on a price and start time, the crew showed up when scheduled and on time. The crew was very professional, worked hard and cleaned up, great crew. The work was outstanding, I would recommend Sensible Home Products to anyone who asked, I finally have a home I’m proud to come home to, thank-you

I was looking for and was very happy to find a local roofing contractor on Angie's List rather than going with a big named company, and I was not disappointed. From my first conversation with Jeremy right through completion of the of the job, Jeremy was professional and thorough. He was quick to provide me with a very competitive quote and explained how the way he performed the work differentiated his company from the other companies I was considering. He was also very flexible in working his schedule around mine, completed the job on time, and was very meticulous about keeping the yard free of debris during and after the job. I highly recommend contacting Jeremy, not only for roofing jobs, but for siding as well. Jeremy is personable, professional and an easy person to work with who cares about the quality of the work he does and ensuring customer satisfaction.

We have nothing but the highest praise for the work performed by Sensible Home Products. Our house was damaged by a huge tree that fell on it during a windstorm. This necessitated repair of the roof, deck, and siding along with repair of a generator and removal of the tree. Repair work was excellent. The craftsmen missed no opportunity to make our house look better than before. We were impressed with their attention to detail. They worked daily, full days, until the job was completed. At the end of each workday, ladders and equipment were picked up. End of job cleanup was thorough. Our insurance company did their best to pay only a small amount of what we were entitled to. With advice from Sensible’s owner Jeremy (and the many hours he spent communicating with the insurance company, picking up siding samples for the insurance company, taking pictures, meeting with two of the three adjusters that came out) we eventually were able to recover a significant percentage of what we were owed. We give Sensible Home Products our highest recommendation.

I would say to anyone who wants to install vinyl siding or to replace windows than to search no further, and to select Jeremy and Sensible Home Products for their home improvement project. In April, 2018, we completed a full exterior renovation project with Sensible Home Products and we could not be happier. It was completed on time, within budget and with top-notch quality. There are three aspects that make them outstanding: First, the work crew is top-notch. They will explain all aspects of their work as they progress through the job. They stay busy all day, and are always polite and well mannered. At the end of each day, they clean up around the house. We trusted them with keys to our house, even when we were away on vacation. Second, the materials are top-notch. You may get less expensive quotes from lesser contractors, but in the end, you will appreciate the quality and value in the work from Sensible Home. Lesser contractors will slap j-channel stock around windows, whereas Sensible uses picture-frame trim for a completely professional finish. Lesser contractors will use low-grade Mainstreet thin gage siding, whereas Sensible pointed us to solid-core Prodigy, which hangs perfectly straight, is rigid, and has excellent insulation properties. Third, Jeremy is a terrific contractor. He will stay in touch at all times. He will make sure that you are satisfied. Everything is well documented, and he follows through with what he commits to. At one point, a special light mounting block was needed but couldn’t be found. We were willing to accept a substitute, but he was afraid that it didn’t meet his standards. He found one at a distributor in Texas, and then found a special courier that could get it to the job site, in time to keep the work moving forward. Jeremy will go the extra mile, and we are recommending him to all friends and family. Chris & Robin, Guilford

For those of you who don’t have the time to read this entire review, here’s the short version: excellent customer service and master craftsmen with a strong eye for detail. My house was transformed! Now for the detailed review. I met Jeremy (the owner) in January of this year as I was beginning my research into replacing my windows and adding siding to my 62-year-old house. I liked him from the start – and honestly was tempted to look no further, but due diligence is key for a project of this size and cost. So I met with the other big companies that are advertised on tv and was not impressed. They do not do the work themselves, they contract the work out to someone else. I did not want that. I wanted to know who was doing the work on my house. These representatives were just the sales people selling the services and not doing the actual work. No thank you! I had seen Jeremy’s portfolio of work and was very impressed, his employees do the work, and after reading 26 positive reviews on Angie’s List, I was certain that Jeremy was the guy for me. And he did not disappoint. His customer service is exceptional. We have all had our experiences with contractors. They don’t show up on time, you cannot reach them and it’s very frustrating. You call Jeremy, he answers. You text, he calls you right away. He checked in every day of my project. The windows and siding were delivered on time. We thought we’d have an issue with the delivery as I have a very narrow driveway and the siding was to be placed on my lawn by a big machine which barely fit. Jeremy was ready to grab a few men and do it by hand if this was the only way. No hesitation, this is what they will do. The delivery was fine in the end, but I was impressed by how Jeremy would jump right in and help. The work began on time throughout the entire project. The windows were done in one day – I have 19 windows. The trim for the windows was just perfect. The attention to detail was amazing. The siding project began immediately following the windows; again, Vlad and Victor arrived on time and got so much accomplished each and every day. I was a bit freaked out when Jeremy called to tell me that the sill of the house (in the back) was destroyed by termites. However, he assured me it would be taken care of and it was, it was replaced. They see a problem, they fix it and keep going. Every detail is important. For example, the attic vent matches the color of the siding as does the frame surrounding the outside outlet and vent for my dryer. We got new gutters and downspouts and they put in a new roof on the small porch in the front. Basically, everything from the roof down is new and beautiful. The project is now complete and my home is stunning. Sensible Home Products will do all my future projects. They put pride in their work and their work is perfection. This isn’t about making money, it’s about making the homeowner happy. I am ridiculously happy. Thank you Jeremy, Vlad and Victor.

I was picked to hire a contractor to side my Mom’s 50+ yr old home. After interviewing 5 companies, I selected Sensible Home Products because of Jeremy’s knowledge ,professionalism, and pricing for a quality product. The “team” showed up 2days later to begin a job that was quoted as a 2 week project. I was pleasantly surprised that the house was finished in ONE week and looked spectacular! The work crew couldn’t have been nicer, neater, or more professional! The yard was picked up immaculately every evening and the guys were there early every morning to begin work. Jeremy was EXTREMELY conscientious of the budget we were working with and went out of his way to make sure everything went as planned! I would not hesitate to hire this company again and have recommended them to several people already. It couldn’t’t have gone more smoothly and my Mom is thrilled with her “new” house!

It went very well. Jeremy responded quickly and although the job that I needed done was small, it was treated professionally and with detail.

When the old siding was removed, they found lots of water damage due to leaking windows. Jeremy's crew replaced the rotted studs and even part of the sill. This was about 1/4 of the house! Jeremy helped us negotiate with the insurance company and we received the maximum allowed by our insurance contract. When the siding was up to the second story, they discovered that our roof was bad. Jeremy advised us to replace it right away before it got even worse. The roof repair was a total surprise; the solar company had inspected it 6 months before and then installed the solar panels. They later admitted that they knew the roof was bad, but just never told us. The "Sensible" crew replaced the roof--right down to the rafters--in one day! When we contemplated installing new windows, Jeremy advised against it. His team properly caulked the old windows and Jeremy was right; they are as good as new. I appreciate the fact that Jeremy did not try to make more money off us with new windows; I wonder how many other contractors would have been so hones. The new siding is wonderful! Everything fits perfectly; there are no gaps or buckling. The trim could not be better. This shows what great skill Jeremy's crew has. I applaud them. Jeremy's professionalism and concern for us (and our bank account) helped us get through all this with a minimum of trauma. I am glad we chose Sensible Home Products.

We had three different contractors come to give us an estimate for the work to be done. The first two were "the same old thing". When Sensible Home Products came, my husband and I knew that Jeremy, the owner, was different. He and his great team worked with us on color, style, and type of products that they offered. They were very open to the ideas that we had and worked to make our home beautiful. They were prompt, polite, ambitious, knowledgeable, and friendly. They kept to the timeline and were finished before we knew it. Every day after they were finished working, they would clean up any mess that was made. They even vacuumed the grass! Needless to say, we were very pleased with the end product and would definitely encourage anyone needing siding or any building needs to hire this great company!

Jeremy and Sensible Home Products did a great job on my home. It was a transformation. The crew was professional and cleaned up daily. The cedar siding was removed and the house was wrapped. Extensive rot in the porch area was replaced with new wood before new siding was installed. I was always informed. Siding was also installed on my concrete garage which I had just wanted painted in order to keep the cost down. Jeremy convinced me otherwise and gave me a great price. The custom garage door was a challenge but now looks beautiful. The lights and mailbox arrived after the job was complete but the crew came back to install after the fact. I highly recommend Jeremy and Sensible Home Products.
