  We hired Corridor Construction in the summer/fall of 2016 to remove our old rotted wooden deck and replace it with new full composite deck and railing. Corridor was recommended to us by a Building Inspector we have in the family. We could not have been more pleased with the quality of their work, and the straight-forward manner of dealings with the contractor. The deck turned out absolutely (and still is) beautiful, and the quality of their workmanship is very evident to this day. I did not check competitive bids, because I trusted the referral from an excellent source in the building business, and had no reason to question or doubt Corridor during any part of the process. I would recommend them without any hesitancy in the future. The photo shows only about half the deckshow more

  I haven't used them yet. They were double the price of other places. I went to their showroom and I could tell the quality of their work is really, really good and they don't subcontract out. They have all their own installers so they are priced higher. I used someone else for the basement windows. I might have them do more of the upstairs work that shows because I know it will be really good quality. They had a good showroom. They took the time to explain the cost and the productshow more

  We became acquainted with Hometown somewhat by chance. I stumbled upon their showroom when driving by one day and decided to stop and have a look. Our aluminum siding had been badly damaged by hail and we were looking for contractors to replace it. We had long wanted to replace our poorly installed and broken vinyl windows, and we expected that having the siding down would be the best time to do it. One of their project managers/salesmen Tom Casey introduced himself and was very helpful. He thoroughly described both their siding and window products. He sometimes came off a little "polished" or "rehearsed" when describing their products, but I guess that's to be expected when you describe siding and windows so often. Having said that, we did a lot of research and found that Tom's information checked out. Their bid wasn't the lowest we received, but it was exactly what we ended up paying and their service/products were top-notch. PRODUCTSWindowsThe product we installed (Restorations windows) are a huge improvement over the prior window and we've been very pleased with both the product and its installation. Our southern exposure windows are manufactured to provide insulation and UV protection, and we've noted a substantial difference compared to the old windows. We also replaced two fairly large side-by-side double-hung windows with a single picture window. It's perhaps worth noting that the competitors from which we requested window bids did not carry/offer a picture window of similar size and Tom (admittedly not the _greatest_ source for this information) attributed it to the sturdy manufacturing of the Restorations windows. For whatever reason, Restorations and Hometown Restyling offered a solution we could not find from others and we've been very pleased with the result. SidingOur siding is Prodigy vinyl siding from Alside. It is foam backed and a nice thick Vinyl - it looks great and has performed as expected. We're very pleased with the product. Entrance & Storm DoorThe front door is sturdy and good looking. I'm blanking on the brand. It feels solid and has been a big improvement over what we had previously. We also got a locking Pella stormdoor with which we've been generally pleased. The strike plate likes to slide back and make locking require repositioning the plate, and we had trouble with some sliding plastic pieces early after the installation. Overall, however, it's been a good upgrade and works nicely. INSTALLATION/WORKMANSHIPThe siding and windows were installed by Hometown W2 employees who were very professional, pleasant, and well-liked by our kids (knew them by name)! We appreciated the way they maintained a clean work-site, arrived and departed at appropriate times, and completed the project within the quoted timeline. The windows we installed were thicker than the prior windows and an aspect of our project included resizing and replacing the indoor window trim throughout the house. This involved a series of steps including removal, trimming, sanding, and re-finishing. It was done flawlessly and you cannot even tell that they've been resized. One window was installed into a newly cut opening and required installation of new trim to match that throughout the rest of the house - it looks original. SERVICETom Casey provided prompt and consistent service throughout. He shepherded our project from beginning to end and was always responsive. Our project included roofers, electricians, and painters, and gutter installers in addition to Hometown employees. Coordination of the electricians was not what we'd hoped, however when problems arose they were dealt with promptly and courteously. When it was discovered that portions of our house sheeting had rotted through, those portions were removed and replaced without additional charge (anticipated by Tom and included as part of the original contract). They helped remove and re-attach our window treatments. Weeks and months after the project completed, small items that required attention (e.g. reattached shutter coming loose, storm door trim) and were dealt with very promptly after a single phone call. Even yet this spring, nearly 6 months after our project basically concluded, we went to install speakers in the siding above our deck. After a quick call, Tom sent out JR and Toby to created solid mountings that look and work great. We were impressed that months after they'd finished the original job and were paid in full, Hometown promptly attended to this relatively minor part of the project. We've been very pleased with Hometown Restyling and recommend them without reservationshow more

  It took a while to connect with Dan but once I did he met my absolute deadline for the project. He is pleasant to deal and did the work as requested. I would use him again.

  I had Cutter construction replace my old 12 x 14 cedar wood deck with a Trex capped composite deck (same size), as I had grown tired of stripping and staining it every 2 years. I had done research on capped composite decks and found out they were pretty reliable now. They were able to reuse the old pressure treated deck framing as it was still in decent shape, and I had them replace the deck floor boards, all the railing, the stairs, and fascia boards with Trex Transcend floor boards, picture framing, composite shells over the existing rail posts, Trex Signature aluminum railing and balusters with a cocktail rail, and new stairs. I also had them put pavers at the end of the stairs as I had problems with my old deck stairs directly contacting the ground, and didn’t want that happening again. They did a really nice job with the picture framing which also helps protect the fascia boards as the picture frame overhangs the fascia boards. The framing they added to put the picture frame floor board on also looked to be done very well. I had them use the hidden fastener system for attaching the deck floor boards and that really makes it look sharp. Mike was very aware of problems decks can have if they are not done correctly , which my old deck had where the flashing between it and the house was not correctly installed causing significant water damage to the walls contacting the deck, not to mention causing a carpenter ant infestation in the wall. It got to the point I finally had to have that water damaged wall repaired the prior year for some $3500 by Service Master 380 (who did a very nice job). Cutter construction is a certified Trex Pro installer which I wanted as Trex will guarantee their work meets all the requirements their warranty calls out for the warranty to be valid. Cutter also sends in the warranty registration for you. Cutter’s estimate was the middle of the 3 estimates I got. I went with Cutter due it being a certified Trex Pro installer, having installed many decks, and due to the numerous discussions I had with Mike Cutter prior to them even giving me an estimate or me giving them the job. The final invoice was about $170 more than the estimate due to some minor changes along the way. As any issues came up Mike would contact me to discuss them. They were able to fit me in their busy schedule and got my deck done when they said they would. I also liked that they used saw horses to hold their material to keep from killing the grass. I am very pleased with the job they did and look forward to minimal deck maintenance from here on outshow more

  It was great working with Les. We told him what we wanted in the basement and gave him our budget. He created a plan and an estimate and modified it as we asked. We had to wait a little while before they could get started, but once they got to us they were very efficient and responsive to our requests. They worked hard to contain the mess in the basement and to clean up every evening. We are very happy with the resultsshow more

  The roof was off and re-shingled in less than a week. Once it was done the porch work started. I had asked for the rotted edge of the porch to be repaired. Thanks to Andy's suggestions I ended up with new porch columns and rails and I now have a covering under-layer under the porch roof itself. It looks great and it is something I never would have thought about on my own. After the porch was done the gutters went up in one day. After work was done, clean up was very thorough----he even threw away some of my old junk that was not job relatedshow more

  I found them through the recommendation from my colleague work. They were here when they said their gonna be here. They kept the job site very clean, they finish when they said their gonna finish and the concept of the details is very good.
