Cad's Home Improvement

As a result of tornado damage, and age related deterioration, we decided to update our 45 year-old, dutch colonial house with vinyl siding, new construction vinyl windows, and exterior vinyl doors. We hired Michael McDowell, President ? The Building Inspector of America ? to advise us before the job began. We interviewed contractors, got quotes, inspected work that they had done, and talked to their references. And finally, selected the contractor we wanted ? Expressive Home Exteriors?. Craig and his crew completely removed the old siding and windows. In doing so, we discovered insect and water damage that the contractor was able to repair. The work progressed each day in an orderly and professional manner. Little by little our storm damaged, age deteriorated house was transformed into a "Dream House". Our Building Inspector concluded by saying ? "I am extremely pleased with the job that you had done". ? ( by Expressive Home Exteriors?). Marlene and I, our family, and neighbors are very pleased with the job that Craig did. He has our highest praise and recommendation.

It was a nightmare. First they installed used materials in the ceiling they were supposed to replace, then had to take it down and do it again. Very sloppy. Did not insulate windows and left large gaps at the top near the ceiling where the insulation and closure should have gone. One of the screens was ripped. They installed a replacement door that was cobbed in with a makeshift jamb and I had to have it completely redone. They put in a "new set of stairs" and used inferior material that cupped and puddled after the first rain that created a hazard for me. I called Mr. Dore and he came and said he would send his men to repair/fix and they never returned. Many phone calls and no reply.
