Owen Enterprises Inc

Our 40 year old home was overdue for windows, new siding, gutters etc.I researched Owen Enterprises and selected them because of their consistently favorable feedback. Scott Owen listened to our needs, gave awesome suggestions on color, trim, and siding options. He gave suggestions on how to improve the curb appeal of our property. They recently finished our job and I can't say enough about the team that came out. Our siding team was led by Luke. They are meticulous, polite, respectful, diligent. The project occurred during Covid so we had plenty of time ( as did the neighbors) to watch the quality of their work. We have a builder doing some work at our house and the builder was highly complementary of the work Owen Enterprises did.

What a disaster. The work was sloppy (tools, gloves, and roofing pieces were found in the shrubbery round the property) careless (a large hole was punched through the screening and even though it was repaired, it was a total hassle) lack of integrity (the promised warrantee for the roof was to be delivered after receipt of the final payment and even though that check cleared weeks ago the warrantee has never been delivered. Avoid this company at all cost.

All phases went well with all of the craftsmen being very professional and knowledgeable in their work. Suggestions were made as to what we actually needed and all responses to our requests were completed in a professional and timely manner.

Sonny build us a beautiful deck for our family. He is Great. We enjoy having him here . We truly recommend anyone who wants a deck he is the man. Thanks again sonny.

The work was done well

I have worked with Scott before and was extremely happen with his work. When my roofing job came along, Scott and Owen Enterprises was the only company I called. The work was done professionally and on time. Scott took extra time with me going over the best options for what I want to accomplish. I was extremely satisfied with his work.

The company didn't even bother to call back to setup an appt or reply to emails for an estimate request even after 2 weeks. Called multiple times for an estimate. Speaks volumes about the professionalism!!!. Would stay away.

The work we had done we were happy with initially.  My wife was concerned about me getting on the roof to clean out the gutters which I did twice a year with a leaf blower, so we paid $1500 to have a hard foam pad put in that supposedly would shed debris, allowing the water to run through.  It didn't work.  Leaves and other debris immediately started to build up on the surface, which I had to go up and blow off, because it forms an impenetrable mat that sheds the water too.  There were also gaps in the foam that filled in with debria, making small dams all along the gutter.  Those can't be blown out.

So I called and emailed to ask that they come back and remove the foam.  I am not asking for my money back, I just want the foam gone. I have gotten no response.   If you use Owen Enterprises, do not fall for the expensive foam.  It is worse than nothing.

Scott Owen was the only contractor who was able to answer all questions we had during the estimating process. He backed everything up by performing the installation as promised and exactly how we wanted it. The job took longer than planned due to a few unexpected events, partially due to the uniqueness of the property. Whatever the reason, Scott made sure that our expectations were met.
The siding crew was extremely knowledgeable and friendly as well as was the roofing crew.
The job was very complicated. Our house is a California ranch with a courtyard with a large footprint and a lot of exterior wall surface. Close to 2000 sqft of flat roof was not an easy task to perform. A perfect drainage grade was achieved by the use of insulation boards of ever-decreasing thickness, going towards the downspouts. 
 We chose Sierra 8 vertical Hardie boards for our siding. The seams between the boards were more visible than expected. Scott ordered tearing six 4x10 boards in order to attempt facilitating closer contact between the boards. He was very open minded in search for the solution to the problem and provided Hardie battens (two per board) free of charge. The result was absolutely stunning!
Overall, we are very happy with the job quality that Owen Enterprises performed. Highly recommended, especially for people who value good workmanship and a contractor who stands by his word.

Everything was done as promised! Top Quality! I couldn't be happier with the work that was done! I highly recommend them!

Scott Owen came to our home to make his proposal and describe in detail what the work would entail and how long the job would take.  He spent time describing his company and the training his crew had and why his company was a preferred James Hardie installer.  Scott spent time with us to help in color selection and siding types.  He suggested using shingle siding on the gables in addition to the regular plank siding.  The shingle siding adds an exciting visual interest to our home.  Scott went through the costs for each aspect of the job.  He explained the various options available and the costs associated with each.  The contract contained everything we discussed, and the costs were consistent with our conversations.  
Scott kept us informed regarding the exact start date, which was very thoughtful.  With all the rain we have had this season the timing of the job was dependent on the weather.  Scott kept us up to date and our job started as planned.  The crew worked in a professional manner, with consideration for our landscaping and our neighbors. All the old siding was removed and hauled away.  Insulation and the weather barrier were installed.  I checked the Hardie web site to see what steps were required for proper installation. It was evident to me the crew was very experienced with the installation methods.  I watched the crew work and took photos as the job progressed.  The crew would tell me what was going to happen each day and what they were doing and the reasons for doing it. Whenever I had a question, the crew responded by showing me what they were doing.  The crew installed new outside lights, door bells, address numbers, and moved an underground gutter drain pipe to accommodate the relocated garage downspout.  The gutters went in as planned along with the gutter guards.  During the project the crew found a structural issue with our porch roof.  This required that two support posts be installed.  The outcome to the front of our house (both the cost and the appearance) was very pleasing.  The clean up went well.
The job was completed within two weeks as Scott said it would.  The resulting change to our home was more than we had expected.  Neighbors and friends have complemented us on how wonderful our house looks.  It really turned out better than we had hoped.   We appreciated the good communication throughout the process.  Most of all we are very pleased with the way our house looks.

This company did a beautiful job! They completed the work in a timely and professional manner. I would definitely recommend them.

The only thing that bothered us about them was we consulted with them I think it was April or May and then we had to keep calling them to see when they were going to come over. According to them they were going to start shortly, but then they kept putting it off and saying, "Oh we have this big project and we have these things we have to do". But once they started, they did a great job. We were pleased with the product, we just didn't like being put off. I was happy with the workers.

I had contacted Owen about getting an estimate on investigating and repairing a small leak around the chimney into our closet.
They mentioned that they would charge to come and investigate.  Apparently, if they had found something they could easily fix, they would have done so right then & there.
We were told that our roof was out of warranty.  They had re-roofed our house sometime in 1997 or so. 
We were not seeking to have warranty repair work done.  We just wanted a free estimate so that we could compare prices on getting things fixed.
We were offered no free estimate, so we opted to go elsewhere.

It was very good. They were very professional. They did a good job.

Scott Owens knows the business of installing cedar shake roofing.  Others which we contacted did not.  I studied the internet website of the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau and he was the only one that was right on.  He was the only one who proposed manual nailing of the shakes, which is what the Bureau requires.  He was very professional and explained everything very well in advance.  He and his crew were punctual and did a professional job which turned out great.  His proposed and actual cost was significantly less the other contractor which we considered seriously.

A little expensive, but roof quality was top notch. Love the windows.

I was extremely disappointed with the responsiveness of Owen Enterprises.  I initially contacted them through the messaging feature of this site to arrange an estimate.  Both of the other contractors I contacted got back to me within two days, I eventually called Owen after waiting five days thinking that maybe they're not using this feature of the site.  I speak with someone in the office who apologizes and says somebody will contact me ASAP.  Another five days go by and nothing.  By this time I've already received estimates from the other two contractors.  Again, I call Owen to see what's going on.  Again, hear that they're sorry and they will get right back to me.  That was four days ago.  I'm shocked to see this company with such high referrals.  I have given up on Owen because I refuse to deal with contractors who can't exhibit even the slightest sense of responsiveness - can't imagine what it would be like trying to get these guys back on site if there was an issue with the work performed.

The did a very good job.  They are very thorough, professional, and did a great cleanup after they were finished.  
We had a leak in one of the windows and they were very prompt in getting out to fix it.  They didn't give us any kind of hassle.
