Re-Side Fiber Cement Siding Inc

This was the best investment I've made on my house in a long time. My house was previously covered in T-111 siding that was mostly rotted, with nails sticking out everywhere. David's crew came in and took off ALL the T-111. As each area was cleared of T-111, they put up OSB, then housewrap, then fiber cement siding. As the work progressed, they also took care of various repairs - including rebuilding the chimney, replacing a rotted window sill, replacing a rotted soffit, and replacing some trim around an attic vent that was rotted. They treated my house as though they were repairing their own! During the residing, the crew noticed that one pallet of siding was wavy - barely visible to the naked eye, and not noticeable by an untrained consumer. I wouldn't have known, but they pointed it out to me and said they would redo the entire side of the house where they had installed the bad siding. After everything was perfect - siding, trim, etc. - they put two coats of paint on the house in ONE DAY! Amazingly fast crew. The entire job was done within 10 days. The house is now quieter, retains hot and cold better, and looks AWESOME. My ONLY complaints are that some of my plants around the house were a little crushed, but it looks like they will all survive, and the amount of small debris. For example, I picked up over a dozen nails out of my yard. I have to be cautious as I live on a creek with lots of wildlife AND next door to 2 toddlers (there are no fences here). If anyone needs to re-side their house, do NOT hesitate to call David at Re-side!

Too often today, people find a way to disappoint you. It was reassuring to work with a company like Re-Side that delivered on what they told us.

Simply, GREAT! Dave come over and gave a full description of the process, product, procedure and installation details. Have conducted a "VERY" thorough examination of my house prior to the first meeting. I had some chimney structures issues that the roofing contractor had to know about but did not tell me. Dave did not do a patch job but built another one to do the job RIGHT. Dave's goal is not to simply get contract work. It's to make you a great looking home and place to live and dwell. And the price was great! After the hail storms last summer me and my neighbor got the same amount from the insurance company (we both had Erie). She got half of her roof and one side of her house done (and her siding took two weeks). Dave got the siding on in under 3 days. My house looks great, especially with the custom paint job. The neighbors have all complimented on it. I can't believe what other contractors wanted for lesser amount of work and 25% more for fiber cement (and I did not really trust them to do it right, with the way they explained their installation process). The price for Dave to put fiber cement was almost the same as using thicker grade vinyl siding and cheap house wrap. If you are changing the siding on your house don't go with vinyl and give Dave a call. You will be glad you did. There's no way I could have asked for a better contractor and Dave get's my highest recommendation. If you are having you siding replaced don't go vinyl and give vinyl cement a look. You will be glad you did.

They finished the painting here in March. The cedar wood siding and trim that we have done was about $1955 that was in last November. They wanted to do the painting late last fall but they couldn’t paint as the weather was too bad so they painted this spring and that was $ 590. They just finished up the job. I called three places that I got from Angies List and this company was most responsive. In this season suddenly it would rain one day and they couldn’t come, so they kept me informed that they would come next week on such and such a day. Their communication was very very good and their price was very competitive. The owner of the company did come out and inspect when they were almost finished with the work and make sure if they did right. One board he was not happy with, which was done on the side of our house, so he made them take it off and put a new one on. They cleaned up their mess very well. What I was impressed with was in spring since the weather broke they were calling us to see if they could finish the painting so we were very happy with them. We would use them again.

We shopped out Re-Side as well as 4 other contractors, but were most impressed with Dave Mills' thorough evaluation of our problems and concerns. Dave seemed to have a better understanding of how to apply the cement board and keep it within the warranty of the manufacturer. We also had Dave replace 34 windows, all gutters and repaint our siding. Dave told us that the new windows would make our home quieter. It was not just a sales pitch - our home really is much quieter! Dave and his crews were always punctual and obviously cared about doing a good job, while paying close attention to the plants and shrubs around our home. Overall, Re-Side did a fantastic job. We get lots of compliments about our home and the beautiful paint color. We would recomment him to our moms if they needed this type of work - what does that tell you! Thanks, Dave!

The project took a total of 3 days, start to finish as they had to watch the weather for three good days. They gave us a date close to the time and fortunately the weather cooperated. There was no mess left around each night as they cleaned up everything each night. The final cleanup was done by them and also David with his magnetic nail finding tool to pick up nails, esp on the driveway (which is gravel). They paid close attention to detail and hung a new garage fixture light after the siding was in place. When the job was completed they finished it by installing the new shutters that we had ordered before the job even started. The only source of contention with expertise was the choice of color for the house, David thinking a different color than white, but he was more than happy to let us pick our shade of white and the job was completed and we couldn't be happier! The gentleman Tim, who did the windows and trimming both outside and on the one in the kitchen (inside) did a phenomenal job! He is truly a craftsman. David was not an absentee manager either. He was here everyday to make the sure job was progressing as planned! Two thumbs up recommendation!

Angie's list is a good thing and when contractors treat you this way you should write a report. That is what this is all about. This is our list too.

I have found them to be very good contractors. I would recommend them to everyone.

The overall experience was very good and so was the quality of the service. They showed up on time. They were very professional.

Since that first job I have used David Mills at Re-side as my go-to contractor for all of my projects. They have performed gutter replacement, window and door installation, and light masonry work. Each time the work was completed on time and within budget. I couldn't be happier with their work. I'm too busy with life to worry about if someone's crews are going to show up or whether something is going to be done correctly.

I called 4 companies and asked many questions of each to thoroughly understand the advantages of the various products and whether each company would follow the installation specs exactly. Whenever one company would say something that was different from another, I called to confirm the details and get a clear understanding. I wanted the best job possible at a fair price and wanted to insure the warranty would be honored, by following Hardie's detailed installation specs. David was extremely patient with all of the questions and calls and gave me the most satisfactory answers. He offers painting, but I have a painter that I've been loyal to for many years, so I declined. David did not push me at all on this point, instead he and the crew (that has been installing for him for several years) did a remarkable job. My neighbor used a cheap company just a couple of years ago and you can tell already. Re-side happened to be a little less expensive than another reputable company and significantly less expensive than 2 other companies. All were from Angie's List. David is very professional and knows the details of siding, this product, and how to install it. It would be a mistake to reside your home without calling Re-side for a quote. David will provide the best education about the process and options and will work hard to earn the sale. Also, the installation crew was quick, friendly, and clean. There was not a nail or a bit of house wrap left behind, nor was there a damaged bush anywhere.

David Mills is both personable and professional, prompt, courteous, and considerate. His initial presentation was outstanding, and his crew is equally professional, meticulous, prompt and pleasant (a rare commmodity to find!). Look no further than David Mills at Re-side--you will get the best!

David Mills is a very honest and personnel guy. The upfront presentation was straightforward and comprehensive. The presentation included detailed pictures of each side of the house and what would be done. There were no surprises. The siding portion of the project was done in early December, 2010. The painting had to wait until the spring, 2011. However, the unpainted siding did not look bad at all and gave us a preview of the great new look our home was about to acquire. The workers were considerate and friendly. Cleanup was very complete. We have extensive landscaping around our foundation and the workers took great care to protect it from damage. I would highly recommend Re-side Inc. and their fiber cement siding product.

The crews from Re-Side removed all of the improperly installed siding, disposed of it, and re-installed new fiber cement siding in a timely, professional manner. After installation, the paint crews repainted our entire home. I never had any problem with the crews throughout the process. They cleaned up after themselves each day they were on site. I am quite selective in who I choose to work on my home, and would highly recommend David and his crews to anyone in need of fiber cement siding repair or painting.

The estimate was high but I thought resonable considering the quailty I was looking for. Karl, the manager, was very responsive to our needs and communicated with us before and during the project.

Great job overall, looks amazing, much better than the original builder job. Great to work with and a really great crews doing the work. Fixed the problem of the water leak.

Excellent work by David Mills (owner) and his crew. All were professional and hard working. Project was started and completed on time. We had another estimate, but went with David because he had a thorough presentation and answered all questions to our satisfaction. David was on site often throughout the project. He made helpful suggestions for how to flow gutters away from the foundation. We had some issues with the new gutters and David or his crew returned twice to correct the problems. I would highly recommend Re-side Inc.

We received a very detailed estimate of services with pictures of our home, it outlined cost of supplies and the procedure of installation. The owner was always professional and very easy to get in touch with over the phone. He was nice to my children which was greatly appreciated! The work crews were very nice and polite. We love how the fiber cement siding has changed the appearance of our home! We could not have been more pleased with our services from Re-side!

This was our largest home improvement project yet. We had four different companies out to give us estimates. We chose David Mills at Re-Side because of his thorough approach and attention to detail. He was fantastic to work with. The decorative wood blocks on the front of our home gave it a "dated" appearance. David's crew worked diligently to remove those for us, even replacing the soffit that they had been attached to. The entire process went smoothly and we are very satisfied with the results.

The owner of the company is David Mills. His workers were here from sunup to sundown. They worked tirelessly. The quality of their work was very good too. He convinced us to move from vinyl siding to fiber cement siding. He was good about having examples of his projects and explaining how the product was installed. He basically gave us the background of the product before we made the decision. He was very fairly priced too.

Contacted this guy following a hail storm in the North Indy area. After calling to schedule an appt. early in the week, he didn't show up so we decided to write him off. Toward the end of the week, he shows up unannounced catching me coming out of the shower, and proceeds to take measurements of our siding. Very awkward to say the least. After finally getting dressed, I met him outside to discuss my home. During our conversation, he receives a personal phone call yet instead of calling back he takes the call and spends nearly 5 minutes of MY TIME talking about an upcoming mini-vacation with the person on the other end. IMHO, EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. He was also clueless to see the steam coming out of my ears during his call. After taking his personal phone call, I spent nearly 20-30 additional minutes with him explaining the work I needed to have done. During our conversation, he proceeded to tell me I would not likely be able to obtain replacement aluminum siding for my home and would need to consider vinyl or his specialty, fiber cement. This despite the fact that 3 other contractors told me I COULD replace with aluminum siding and provided me with written estimates for aluminum. Confused, I called back 2 of them and they reassured me I could replace with aluminum and even gave me the name of their aluminum supplier. To add insult to injury from the whole weird experience, this guy never even bothered to submit a quote or call us back after his visit. (And you wasted 40 minutes of my and your time because why???) If you're going to do siding on your home, based upon my research & experience of now going through this whole process, I'd recommend you consider three things: 1. Do you really want to do business with someone who's either clueless or uninterested in knowing what other options are out there vs. fiber cement siding? 2. Is the additional cost of fiber cement really worth it vs. vinyl, insulated vinyl or aluminum siding given the depressed housing environment we're likely to be in for years to come? How long will it take for you to recoup your investment in fiber cement vs. others? Vinyl siding has come a long way, even in the last few years. 3. If the economy gets worse, i.e., depression in the future, are one man or small time operations like this one even going to be around? They may have a 5-10 warranty on their work, but if they're not in business to honor it, what good is it? Take my advice, whether fiber cement, vinyl, aluminum, etc., stick with one of the big firms in town who actually know what other options are out there, and who very likely are going to be around, long term, no matter what happens to the economy. From my experience with this outfit, they're more self focused than customer focused. Update 2/11/11: I just saw that the service provider responded with very untrue answers, so wanted to make sure I clarify a few things: 1. Service provider stated we told him our interest was only in aluminum. Not true. We asked for a quote for both aluminum (which he stated he didn't think was available) AND fiber cement. Following our conversation outdoors, service provider remained for another 20 minutes plus to finish taking measurements. If he thought we only wanted aluminum like he states, then why did he remain for another 20 minutes to take measurements?? At that point, if that were actually the case, wouldn't it make sense for him to say we only do fiber cement and leave. Obviously, this is not what was stated. 2. Service provider was also going to quote the installation of 2 doors. We never received a quote for these either, never mind the "fiber cement" comment. Again, you wasted my time because?? 3. If you look at other bad ratings on this outfit, you'll see the same type of experience I received. Service provider either DID NOT return phone calls OR came out to measure the home and then NEVER bothered to follow up. 4. Finally, service provider states we never rated the "big" outfit who actually DID call us back, DID show up on time, DID quote the work, and DID do an excellent job. They just finished last month and following payment and walk around we WILL be giving them an excellent rating. Thanks for reminding us to do that. As I stated before, what this guy says vs. what he actually does are two very different things. Again, stick with the big guys who you know are going to be around for the long haul.

This was the second time we'd worked with David. He is professional and highly responsive. Gave me a competitive quote (windows are just expensive), ordered and installed the windows. No mess. Insulated around the window where the home builder had not. No issues. David had two employees install, but he stopped by to check on progress. Would use again.

Very good experience. Very prompt and puntual. David keep me informed of the progress al the time. I looked at 4 proposals before I selected RESIDE. They were the least expenve, had one of the best overall proposal presentations. I would use them again as well as recommend them.

I got two bids that were very close, but David came up with ideas that made sense and brought the price down. He also had good solutions to some unique challenges that we faced. It was a pleasant experience with David and his crew. The work was good, on schedule, and tidy. David initiates a final walk-around with the customer before calling the job done, which is a nice touch. Re-side met all of our expectations.

I think these guys are real proes. They did the work they said. They did the extra work to make sure it was a job done right. The work was perfromed in adequate time and the estimate was very very accurate and fair. When I first met David he showed me the 3 window options and told me of the positives of all not trying to sell me on any particular one. He also went out of his way to help me with color options. Overall I may sound like a commerical but they did an outstanding job and the few things that I did notice they came right out no questions and fixed it and also inspected again for that same issue that may have occured somehwere else. It is hard to find good reliable work that you can count on and you can count on quality work at a fair price, Thank you ReSide
