We had a hard time picking out the colors we wanted.  They should start on the siding December 2.  They are a little behind
because of the weather.  We finally started work  the first full week of December.  The weather was very bad and delays in
work are understood.  They are restricted when weather was  below zero and high winds.    They will be back in April to finish
painting and plugging all the nail holes in the siding.  They also will be sanding and painting around door frames.  This will take
a couple of days when warmer weather arrives.  They will also clean the yard because of all the snow some scraps were covered.
The employees were very courteous.  We are very happy with the colors and the change in the appearance of the house.

When my husband and I decided that we wanted to re-side our home using James Hardie siding, we first requested a quote from a large home improvement retailer.  Due to the cost of the project, we felt that it would be smart to get three bids on the project and then make a decision.  I went to the James Hardie website in order to see who they would recommend in the area in order to obtain the two additional bids.  I filled out a request for information from the top 2 companies listed on the Hardie website, Twin Cities Siding Professionals and Craftsman's Choice.  Ann from Twin Cities Siding Professionals was the first to call me back and set up an appointment.  We connected right away when Ann asked me what type of siding we currently have and I said "crappy masonite".  We had a good laugh over that!  Next we met Chad Grotberg from TCSP who came out to measure our home.  Chad was very professional and took the time to answer our questions and understand exactly what we wanted for our home.  Then we had a salesman from Craftsman's Choice come out to measure our home.  One of the first things that he asked me was what other companies we were looking at.  When I told him, he proceeded to bash the 2 other companies and this turned us off.  We believe that a company should sell on their own merits and not by bashing their competition.  When Chad from TCSP came back to give us a proposal, that is exactly what he did.  He listened to us and explained exactly what TCSP does in a way that we could understand and appreciate.  We had some more custom things that we wanted done to our home and this did not stump him at all as it had one of the other companies who said that they just "do not do that sort of thing".  After we signed with Chad, just a few days later came a card from the owners of TCSP thanking us for choosing their company and they promised to treat our home like it was their own.  How impressive!  And let me tell you they did!  I am a pretty picky customer as I also work in customer service and my husband even calls me "inspector 19"!  I even warned Nate Gohl (Senior Field Supervisor for TCSP) and Andy Hieb (Crew Leader for TCSP) that I am very picky and their answer was, "that's why you chose us"!  How true!  We were not looking for the least expensive siding company, but rather, the best, and that is what we got with TCSP.  All of the quotes that we got for our project were very close but we were so impressed with the professionalism and integrity of TCSP that we felt most comfortable entrusting our siding project to them.  When we asked questions or wanted something done in a certain way, they never acted like it was a bother, but treated us with utmost respect.  We even ran into Nate at a wedding during our project and had a great time with he and his wife Larissa!  All of the crew on the jobsite, Andy, Brian, and Cal were the main ones, were also very professional and very fun as well.  We felt very comfortable having them around our home.  They do excellent work!  They also worked very well with the other contractors that we had on the jobsite, the electrician, Direct TV, and the plumber, in order to make sure that everything was done to our satisfaction.  We can't say enough good things about our experience with TCSP!  Of the three comapnies that we had bid the project, we are so glad that we picked them!  It is so nice to know that there are still companies out there who really do put customers first and it is not just a slogan, but instead this is lived at every level of the company from the owners down to the crew on the jobsite.  Twin Cities Siding Professionals really means what they say, "customer focused".  Thank you Twin Cities Siding Professionals for transforming our home into something so beautiful that we never thought possible and making new friends along the way!  We love the new look of our home and are so proud of it!!

The house looks beautiful and Twin Cities Siding Professionals was fantastic to work with.  I will strongly recommend them to anyone who inquires.  We were absolutely blown away by the quality of work, the professionalism of everyone involved, and the organization with which everything was carried out.  It was very impressive.

Chad is a fabulous representative for the company.  Initial sales meetings are my least favorite thing and Chad was extremely helpful and honest.  Chad arrived promptly and asked me what I was looking for.  I let him know I was not sure if I was going to keep or sell the house in a year or two but that it needed repair.  Twin Cities Siding Professionals only offer top quality products and so this was not a good fit as it is a big investment at $40k when I might move soon and my home is on the lower end of the price spectrum.  Chad was extremely honest and ultimate customer satisfaction was more important to him than the sale. For clients looking for the best quality materials and company I would highly highly recommend Chad and his company and I fully intend to use them in the future and recommend them to friends and family.  You can't train values and integrity.

First,  the company was the lowest cost for the windoew ispecified - Andeerson Renewal 100 series. Second, they company kept it's promises, performed the work on time and on budget, with absolutely no surprises. Third, the sales force, contract, installers and business practices greatly exceeded my expectations. Overall, they are A#!.

Great company with a lot of ideas and a huge book of pictures from work they have done, but after our first meeting we realized the price was going to be a lot more than what we had thought in comparison to some other exterior options we were considering.

Terry Stamman, the owner of the company, came out to my condo building to give me an estimate on a siding job. He was punctual and took time to understand our project. An estimate was emailed to me the next day and Terry was available for answering the questions I had about the product. We had gotten multiple bids on this job and we ultimately went with another company only because they were also able to fix some broken storm windows we have on our building in addition to the siding project. Terry's company does not provide that service. I would hire his company in the future if the need arose.

After some research and several interviews with local siding firms, we hired Twin Cities Siding Professionals based on the clear, detailed and convincing presentation by its CEO, Terry Stamman.  If professional integrity and commitment to excellence are the foundation of this firm, the willingness to patiently address and satisfy client questions/concerns gives TCSP an added edge in a crowded, competitive market.  
 
The team that did the work included siding pros Ed and Matt, and painters Brent and Eric.  They were terrific ? prompt, courteous, smart, hard workers, and aiming to please.
They worked steadily in 90-degree heat, but good humor and good hydration (with a little lemonade on the side ? no pun intended) kept the project going even ahead of schedule. And it looks really good!
 
They also identified a couple of related issues and made suggestions that enhanced the total project.  It would not have been necessary for them to inquire about, then suggest removing an old room air-conditioning unit that we hardly use, or to install a kick-plate to an exterior service door we had recently replaced, but they fixed both areas, something that will save us future hassles and money.
 
We?re pleased with the fresh, sharp appearance of our house and the durability of the product that was installed.  All in all, we?re confident that going with TCSP will serve us as a good investment.

First of all we interviewed and bid several contractors. We selected Twin City Siding based upon their price and quality of work based upon references we checked. Terry and the team exceeded our expectations both in terms of quality installation and their customer relationship management. Their installation was so good that a contractor we had out for another purpose commented that he had "never seen siding so tight and well installed." Throughout the process Terry and the office kept us informed of progress and engaged us appropriately as questions came up. They performed on time, on budget and as agreed. It was a great experience.
We had the original work done a number of years ago and are now in discussion with TCS to complete a similar project for the front of our house.

As we knew they would, they patiently explained all options and prepared a detailed, understandable, well-illustrated proposal. The men who did the work accommodated our schedule, were consistently punctual, communicated with us regularly in a wonderfully straightforward manner, were friendly, and had a terrific work ethic. The level of professionalism throughout Twin Cities Siding is unsurpassed. Our garage, which was a genuine eyesore, looks like a new one. Wow!

They were marvelous. I thought they were neat, prompt, and provided good quality. The foreman caught some less than par pieces before they were installed, so they were supervised well. The salesman also came back to check on the work and provided many option with photos before the work started.

They were extremely professional from start to finish. Tom their sales representative was very thorough in his presentation of our options and came back quickly with a comprehensive proposal. He answered any questions we had. The work started on schedule and the team were both polite and efficient. The end result looks great and I would use them again .

Fantastic.  
This has to be one of the most professional companies I have every worked with and I was a Senior Project Manager for a Fortune 100 company for 32 years.  They did exactly everything they said they said, were at our house every day at 7 AM and cleaned up everyday before leaving.  The project foreman and the crew were very pleasant and professional.  I wish I could find this kind of profession service in other home related companies.

When I contacted this company, Terry Stamman came to my house to take photographs of the house and have me tell him what the work was that I wanted to be done.  He returned sometime later with a proposal.  His presentation was excellent.  Most importantly to me, there were very specific requirements, something most contractors will not provide.  My wife and I decided to hire him, although his bid was higher than other contractors we had contacted.  I made it clear at the time that I have learned from sad experience that contractors cannot always be trusted to do a professional job.  As a result, I insist on monitoring the work so I know first-hand that shoddy work has not been covered up.   That has caused problems with a few contractors who expect to be trusted.  I tell them that it is my house and my money, and I don't like to proceed on a basis of trust with workers I don't know.  Terry stated that he had no problem with that.

At first, things went well as the siding was removed and the house was rewrapped.  As the summer passed and the work progressed that situation degraded.  Terry had indicated he had a professional crew of full-time workers with some part-timers doing some of the easier tasks.  Generally, that was true but the workers were not well supervised, and mistakes were made by both the full and the part timers.  John, who seemed to be the foreman of the project made mistakes ordering the windows, which resulted in a stoppage of work pending the exchange of windows.  The workers moved to another project, which seemed reasonable, but they did not immediately return when the window exchange was made.  A subcontractor, who was working on the roof and installing the windows, insisted on bringing his son, who was 10 or 12 years old, with him.  It became a problem when he let his son work without supervision.  The son worked without a drop cloth and got putty on the carpet.  Both the sub and his son felt free to enter the house without knocking and to roam the house at will.  There was a time when I caught the son handling personal items on the top of a dresser in a bedroom he had no business being in.  This caused a dispute between the sub and me, which ended with the sub leaving the project.  

When work resumed on the siding, the crew was not totally the same as the original one.  Two or three of the crew were now quite unprofessional and seemed to feel that their work should not be criticized.  That would have been fine with me if they had performed it well; but they did not.  I noticed that some of the workers would make inaccurate cuts so that the siding panels did not fit together properly and then justify it by pointing out that it would be covered by other panels so it would not show.  I told them that I expected work to be done properly whether or not it was visible at completion.  After that, they began doing things, including minor vandalism, out of spite.  They would lay the panels with the painted side up (I had chosen to have the siding factory painted because there is better quality control in a factory) when they were cutting them.  Silica dust from the panels would then settle on the painted side reducing the glossy appearance of the siding.  I told John that I did not find that acceptable, especially since the problem would go away if they cut with the painted side down.  When the workers continued their improper cutting technique, I told them directly and I told Terry that the silica dust could not be removed and the panels would require repainting.  Terry agreed to repaint the ruined sections of panel, and he did personally repaint much of the affected siding, including that which was visible.  
Delays for various reasons stretched the project from the estimated weeks to three months.  It was, all in all, a very unpleasant experience that I hope never to repeat; however, Terry did all he reasonably could to keep the commitments of the contract.   By job end most of the bad work had been redone and the house looks quite nice.  It seems to be quite solid and much less drafty than it had prior to the work.
 
Terry told me recently that the workers who had caused the problems were no longer employed at Twin City Siding Professionals.  I have no reason to doubt his word.  As a result, I am having a difficult time assigning a grade for the overall experience.  For me personally, it was a terrible experience.  On the other hand, I don't know how much of the fault should lie with Terry and his company.  It appears that some information that I had given to the project manager, John, had not been passed along to Terry.  I suspect, and would certainly hope, that current clients would not be subjected to a similar experience.  At the end of the project, my respect for Terry as a businessman and as an honest man were undiminished.

I would highly recommend them.  I have only positive things to say.  They exceeded my expectations.

We had been planning on getting our 1989 home re-sided for several years.  The front exterior and the side of the garage was cedar.  The rest of the home was masonite.  Both of those type of sidings were cracking and crumbling.    Initially, we were considering a top of the line insulated vinyl siding from Certainteed.  We put off getting siding for a few years because it was going to be a costly remodeling project and we wanted to do it right the first time.  We never liked the contemporary look of our house and knew that when we replaced the siding, we were going to update the front for curb appeal as well. 

TCSP had re-sided several homes in our neighborhood, including the homes on BOTH sides of our house and another one across the street.  So for a couple of years, we were able to view their workmanship and the James Hardie siding product on a daily basis.  My husband and I really did like the clean look of the JH hardiplanks.   We decided on the James Hardie siding vs. top of the line vinyl even though it was going to be more expensive but knew that in the long run, it would outlast the vinyl and look better.   

Terry Stamman, owner, came to our house and spent over an hour discussing our needs and educating us on the James Hardie products.  Terry said he would come back with various options and cost.  We met with Terry again and he had 3 options ranging from good, better, best and the corresponding total cost of each.  We had a budget and didn?t want to really go past that so we told Terry the things we really needed and what we could forego (ie. cultured stone 1/3 up the garage stalls, not replacing all the soffits, etc).   He did suggest that all our soffits and most of the fascia were in good condition and just needed to be painted vs. being replaced so we could stay within our budget. 
 
John Lilja at TCSP was awesome because he, along with Terry?s initial idea, designed our existing unattractive solid wood column with a more decorative fluted column made from James Hardie trim and Fypon products.  This was a lot less than the PVC Fypon fluted column that we initially wanted.   I also worked with John in designing my front entry door with Fypon fluted columns and a crown header as well as dentil mouldings around the top of the partially covered entryway.    I had John revised the CAD drawing several times until I was happy with the size of the crown header on the door.  My husband agreed that the final column designed by TCSP looked so much better than the more expensive PVC pre-fabricated column!   

Terry suggested replacing our plain soffit on our 2 story partially covered entryway with a pine beadboard for curb appeal.  We also had TCSP design 3 curved headers over our garage doors to take away the contemporary look of the house.  Terry suggested placing a trim piece on the curved header to polish it off.  That turned out really nice!  

Nate, job supervisor, came and took the final measurements and we went over exactly what products were going where as well as the final colors.  We opted for the JH Colorplus hardieplanks in khaki brown and hardietrim in sailcloth because it didn?t require any painting since the colors were already baked into the siding.  

Andy Hieb and his crew at TCSP installed the siding, garage door header, and the beadboard soffit.  All of them were extremely nice to deal with.  Andy was very approachable and was always smiling!  They came at 7 am and left by 5 pm and always cleaned up before they left each day.  Those guys really did work very hard without taking many breaks. There were 3 days it rained and they couldn?t work on the house.  But, they were still able to finish the job in the 2 weeks estimate they gave us.   

 There was a separate carpenter from TCSP, Curt, who came and constructed our front entry fluted pillar/column and the decorative mouldings and crown header around our door.   My husband and I were very impressed at the finished product!  Our house (especially the front) turned out better than I had anticipated. We had the JH shingles (shakes) just on the front exterior (the rest had the 7 inch hardieplanks) as well as Boulder Creek stone around our large front window.  Love the sailcloth color trim with the Khaki Brown color siding.  

After the siding, boulder creek stone, and decorative mouldings were installed, the gutter guy (can't remember his name) came to installed the gutters which already had the James Hardie sailcloth trim color pre-painted at the factory!  He said they order the gutters pre-painted with the exact James Hardie trim colors!  I was impressed how the gutters just blended in with the rest of the trim on the house.

Brent and his crew came and painted all the soffits, fascia, filled in all the nail holes on the column and all other decorative mouldings and then painted a 2nd coat on.  They took over a day just to prep with plastic, taping, etc. to ensure that no paint would get on our windows, new siding, etc.  I was impressed they took so much care in prepping just to paint the soffits, fascia, front entry and garage mouldings!

We have had numerous neighbors complimenting on the new exterior.  Another neighbor said we have the prettiest house in the neighborhood now!  Friends and family that have stopped by to visit have also complimented how beautiful the house looks.  Thanks TCSP for making that all happen!

Totally changing the color of your siding and trim is a big decision. TCSP gave us addresses of houses with the colors we were interested in to drive by and see how the siding would actually look.  Ann made computer mock ups of photos of our house with assorted color ideas. She even met with me in the office to talk over some ideas for the colors and sent me home with samples.  She was lots of fun to work with.
We had a meeting before the job to go over with the project manager exactly what we wanted and to explain in detail the process of the putting up the vapor barrier and siding, etc.  We knew every step of the way what to expect and when to expect it. Communication between ourselves and TCSP was excellent.The workers were great. A different Sam was running the job and kept in frequent contact about what they were doing and confirming our wishes. They always kept the work site clean and removed everything in the end.  It took them about a week. We love how our house looks. It's like it's brand new.
There is a little painting work that hasn't been completed due to all the weather issues, but it should get done soon.

It went well.  They were very professional.  I was really impressed with the head of the company, he was very professional.

Very well. Timely and well done.

The team was punctual, courteous, hardworking, enjoyable, friendly and good problem solvers.  The installation went well.  The finished product is incredible!!  We love the new look of our home.  There were a few issues underneath the old siding such as water damage and wood needing to be replaced as well as the replacement of a double door on the lower level.  They ordered the new door for us, removed the damaged wall boards and replaced anything that needed replacing.  They coordinated with the electrician for the new outdoor lighting and outlets as well as with the stonework contractor and gutter installation contractor for those installations as well.  The job was finished and the area cleaned up within their estimated time frame.  They updated us throughout the project so there were no surprises.

It was nice they were very professional. Because they are the only ones that have a certification in what I wanted their price was way more than everyone else.

From A-Z the folks at TCS either met or exceeded our expectations. Their communication and follow through on actions was exemplary. Their service team was courteous, professional and respectful of our home and family. During the days where they were on site, they kept a very small footprint (i.e work and equipment were contained to a very small area). They completed the work as scheduled. Once the work was complete, they cleaned everything spotlessly and seemingly vanished into thin air! When When the work was done, there was great follow up from the owners to ensure we were satisfied with the work. We've worked with a lot of contracts over the years. This was by far one of the best contracting experiences we've ever had! We would hire Twin Cities Siding Professionals again in a heart beat!

I did a lot of research before calling contractors to come look at our house. Twin Cities Siding Professionals impressed me from the start. The company has an excellent and informative website, and their customer service is unparalleled. They have excellent ratings on Angie's List and the BBB. I know; I checked.

I decided to hire Twin Cities Siding Professionals based on their reputation, customer list, and the detailed presentation. Terry explained very clearly what our options were and patiently answered every question. He knew ours wouldn't be the biggest job, but he treated us as if it were. We had four meetings before we started the project, and we were crystal clear on the scope of the work.

The crew members were friendly, efficient, experienced, and respectful. They arrived promptly every morning and quietly went about their work. Sure, there was noise from the hammers and compressors, but the atmosphere was always professional. I was so impressed by the workers. They greeted us with a smile and hello every day and were never bothered by questions or our coming and going. They were also careful to pick up all the debris, and best of all, completed the job on time.

I also had Twin Cities Siding Professionals do some painting for me, and Brent did a spectacular job. He meticulously prepped the deck and fascia and was conscientious to the last detail.

Terry promised we would be thrilled with the job, and we are!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our transformed IRON GRAY James Hardie House. Kyle and The CREW were - from beginning to end... professional and installation experts.

Tom, our salesman, came to our home - was informative, straight forward, confident in the James Hardie Product and stood behind the workmanship of Twin Cities Siding Professionals.  Because he did not pressure us into a decision, we were able to do the research needed and in the end the right choice was made.  Not only does our House look drastically different but its noticeably heating better without the cold drafts.  The Cost of the project was an investment we'll never regret.
