Erdmann Exterior Designs Ltd

From the very beginning of the project, it was clear this company did not know hoe to construct this simple project. Measurements were off, no two seams met or matched. It looked like a child did the work. All concerns were ignored and the owner of the company refused to replace or fin damage done to my existing home. Price was to be $8,300. I have ended up paying over $20,000 to replace what they did and repair my home they damaged. Needless to say, they are refusing to stand behind their damages and poor construction. I am taking them to court-it has been over a year of a nightmare!

This company not only couldn't finish the project they were hired for, they caused damage to my property, home interior and exterior. They were fired after causing more damage then the project was worth and the city inspector was not going to approve the final project. It was junk and had to be demolished. Because I hired this company-I am now out $20,000!!!!! but a new company tore down their mess and built a beautiful portico. I have over 188 pictures of the poor workmanship and damages. I have never in my life dealt with such incompetence and lack of concern for my property. Vewry nasty people.

The Erdmann crew removed the old cedar siding, and replaced with James Hardie cement siding. They also replaced gutters, wrapped the facia and soffit in aluminum, and did the garage and front porch in Hardie board. How'd it go !!!. I cannot say enough about them. The crew, led by a young man named Andy, was better than just good, they were excellent. I had looked at a "lot", of jobs in our area, and this was the best in the long run. Everything fit, weather it was aluminum trim, Hardie board, or areas,around faucets,electrical outlets etc. he even hid tv cable, which others I looked at, did not. When done, the house looked better, than when it was new, I would not think twice about using them again.

They are great. They are in the process of finishing up and I have been very happy with them. They have been pretty punctual.

I could not say enough positive about this company.

The sales representative was very professional and did not deviate from the original agreed upon contract price.

Work was completed with a high level or professionalism.

The actual men doing the work were courteous and paid great attention to detail.

Would I hire this company again or refer them to a friend?  Absolutely - without any question!

Work and product was of the highest quality and the house looks great.  They were very professional to work with and the work took as long as expected.  Very responsive and available to ask questions or do additional small work when needed.  Only complaint would be that the start of the job continued to get delayed for two weeks, but very minor issue.  I would definitely hire Erdmann again!

It went excellent. Very personal service and a great price! They were amazing and I'd definitely use them again.

The quality of their work is amazing and I've really appreciate it; everything that has been done to the house. The windows were done just very, very well.

We had a fire recently.  They came back and did some repair work on the siding for us.  Their price was fair.  They were really good.

I felt the price was fair and the work was quality,

We worked with Erdmann Exterior Designs to transform our dated exterior.  Our old exterior was half brick and half cedar and we wanted it to all be one material--James Hardie siding.  We also had four rooflines that we wanted changed from clipped gables to points.  Our front porch was crumbling, so we had to replace that before putting new pillars. Front door and garage door were replaced as well. The finished project is an AMAZING transformation.  It looks like a brand new house.  All of our neighbors have been very complimentary.  When we see the finished project, it is hard to believe what our house used to look like.  The workers showed up each day, even on the very hot days, worked long hours and completed everything in about six weeks.  We are very pleased with our new exterior.

Our main contact was Kyle Erdmann, son of Kevin, who quoted the job and made suggestions to achieve what we wanted within our budget.  He then supervised the crews (siders and carpenters) and stayed in close contact with us.  The crews were super nice guys.  When they fell behind schedule due to weather, Kevin Erdmann came out and pitched in.  I would highly recommend their work and the product.

Our house is part brick and part cedar siding. The siding was in bad shape, due to a problem with woodpeckers pecking holes in the siding every Spring and Fall. We finally decided that we needed to bite the bullet and replace the siding with something that woodpeckers would have no interest in. We researched options and decided on fiber cement siding. We also read many cautionary tales on the installation of the product and that if installed correctly, it can last for decades. We decided that we didn't want to take the risk that someone might install it incorrectly and void any warranty provided by the manufacturer. James Hardie appeared to be a well-respected manufacturer and we went to their website. Looked up their "preferred providers" and Erdman Exterior Designs came up, as well as several others that were close to our home. I requested an appointment for an estimate and received a phone call from Kyle later that day. We scheduled for a few days later and he arrived on time and discussed with us our concerns and possible design changes to the exterior of our home. He said he would have an estimate for us in a few days and scheduled with me at that time to bring the estimate. He also agreed to include many options and the different prices so that we could pick the things that we wanted to change and make sure it would remain in our budget. Over the next few days, I also interviewed 3 other providers, some from the James Hardie "preferred provider list" and one who was not. Most of the people we interviewed were professional and when the estimates came in, they were all pretty similar. We decided to go with the company that we felt was most personable, professional, genuine, did great work (they had given us addresses of houses they had done that we could go view) and responsive. That's why we chose Erdman Exterior Designs. When we signed with them, we thought they wouldn't be able to start until after Thanksgiving, since they had told us it would be 3-4 weeks until they could start. But, the week before Thanksgiving, Kyle called and said they were slated to start on Wednesday, 11/14. We were surprised and pleased! The men were respectful, punctual, efficient and did a great job! The house looks even better than we could have imagined and they finished everything beautifully. Kyle Erdman and his father, who runs the business, even came out and inspected all the work to make sure that everything was done correctly and everything was cleaned up and to make sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. Truly nice people who did a great job and we'd use them again anytime!

I am not very happy with their work and need to get them back here. The gutter is not working correctly. I gave them the plan about the work, but they did not do it the way I wanted. They also damaged the stucco and the stucco people had to come out again to take care of the problem.

They gave me any estimate within a week of my first phone call and once I called them back with a yes they were out within a week. They had the job completed the day they started and left the sight clean with no damage to any plants.
