"My wife and I needed a new patio door and we got quotes and estimates from 3 other competitors. Not only did Hanson beat the competitions prices, but the entire process was fantastic. Our salesman Michael Kaechele walked us through the entire process and made us feel like friends rather than clients. Start to finish the entire Hanson team was outstanding. The only downside is the service was so great they make me want to replace my windows sooner! Can?t wait to work with them again!"

"The workers doing our siding and deck did a great job. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and competent. There were a couple of minor issues with the siding and Safety First was quick to respond and rectify the issues. I did change my mind on a couple of deck issues -- while we are very happy with the workmanship and with the attentiveness of Safety First, I would caution anyone who needs assistance in choosing options while making decisions, to do some homework before hiring any contractor. Make sure everyone is on the same page before construction begins. There are some communication issues that could be improved but based on the workmanship, we are happy. We have had several people stop and tell us how nice and fantastic the deck looks and how much the siding has changed our home. We are still waiting for completion of our siding due to the deck addition, and one handrail needing to be added to the deck - both should be completed by end of next week."
