Get matched with top siding pros in Maple Lake, MN

"Eric did a great job while giving me my quote. He was very knowledgeable and found some issues with my siding that I hadnt noticed yet. He showed me the product that DaBella was offering and the differences in other siding materials. He worked very hard to make the siding replacement quote affordable and fit all of our needs. I cannot wait to get the new siding."

"Had a great experience with Bruce and Shane. Highly communicative and clear - went above and beyond to check for siding issues around the entire exterior of the house after repairing the issue that we noticed. Would absolutely hire again."

"Working with the teams that completed the actual work on my new siding, roof, and gutters were great! However, dealing with the sales managers in the office was incredibly disappointing. I was told my contract was *all inclusive* when I signed, yet my drip edges were not replaced and then I was told that they were not in the contract. Then my gutters needed an additional 25 that was not in the contract. An additional $250 later, and all was done. No concessions, no apologies for their mistakes."

"Every part of the project was a thoroughly professional experience from the quote to review of the completed siding. These are the business and trades people that you dream of finding when you do not have a reference from friends or family. William's demeanor and questions at the sales quote visit immediately showed his experience and competence. Project supervisor Nick was an excellent communicator and a skilled tradesman. The crew was friendly, polite and did an excellent job installing James Hardy siding and aluminum soffit with fascia. It looks great and feels even better with lower heating bills already. Jennifer in the office kept us informed and updated. Contract, price, materials, labor, service and completion review were all outstanding. They also went above and beyond to demolish and build a new deck in time for a summer ending birthday party. I would not hesitate to call them for our next project and neither should you."

"Anthony was on top of the entire project and kept us informed of the entire process. Anthony called ahead to inform us when the dumpster and materials would be delivered a couple of days before the job was supposed to start and when his crew found that the decking on my house needed to be replaced, Anthony contacted our insurance company and got it replaced without any extra work on our part. Anthony's crew replaced the entire roof and four skylights in less than two days. Anthony even came to our house on three separate occasions to run a magnet over our landscape to make sure there were no nails or material left behind that could cause a problem down the road. Would gladly recommend Anthony to all our friends."

"Amazing job. The workmanship so good to match the existing wall and blend so it’s not a noticeable repair. Many neighbors have stopped by and commented on the good job. We were impressed with this contractor’s excellent communication. I would hire them again for any work we need done here at our home."

"The roof part was great. I'd recommend them for a roof any time. This is the second time they've done a roof for us (they replaced the roof on our house about 10 years ago), and they did a fine job: fast, neat, no problems. 
The siding was another matter. They did a terrible job on the trim, they argued with me when I pointed out things that needed to be fixed, and several times they lied to me about what was and was not possible. It was terrible customer service, and very bad detail work. It there was a project manager (I never met him or saw him), he signed off on substandard work. And If there wasn't a project manager, well, there should have been. This was an expensive job--$11,000. They should have paid better attention and been more responsive.
 I don't think Walker Roofing is terribly experienced with Hardie Plank (there were many things they told us that turned out to not be true) and while the garage looks just fine from a distance, up close you can see many problems. None of the problems are structural; the garage will hold up just fine. They are, however, cosmetic.
For instance:
1) The trim at the corners and around the windows is dented in many places, I presume from the nail gun.
2) Instead of finishing nails, which would be invisible, they used big galvanized nails (and told us those were required for the job).  
Those big nails are not required. (I looked up the Hardie Plank specifications on the Web.) They could have (and should have) used finishing nails, but did not--perhaps because finishing nails would take longer and require more work, since they need to be hand-nailed rather than nail-gunned.
So we came home to dented trim with big silver nail heads every few feet, gleaming out from the white trim.
3) They would not paint over the nailheads unless we paid them more money. They also gave us a big song and dance about the inability to match the paint color---so convoluted and contradictory that I can't even reproduce the conversation here.  So in the end we painted the nailheads ourselves. Terrible customer service. And the trim is still dented. 
4) When they replaced the trim around the doors, they only replaced some of it--the trim that faces out. They did not replace the trim inside the doorway but just left the old rotten trim. When I complained, they argued and said they couldn't replace it without ripping off all of the work that they had already done.  (Not true. And the next day they replaced it.  But I really do not like first having to monitor them, then having to complain, and then having to argue.)
5) The trim the initially put up around the window was not what we had asked for---it was nearly 6-inches wide, all the way around, and since the window was very small, it looked ridiculous.  When I complained (again), they argued (again) and said they couldn't do any more work until that situation was resolved. Then they packed up and went home. This was at 8 a.m., so we lost a day.
6) They came back the next day and replaced the trim, and while it looks better, it is still not what we had originally ordered. And before replacing it, they told me three different sizes of trim that they absolutely must use, for various air-tight reasons. None of these reasons was true, since in the end they went with something else.
7) There were other problems along those lines---detail work that was not done right, or not done according to what we had agreed upon. I *hated* having to complain, and I hated even more that when I did complain,  they argued with me.
Was there a project manager? Did someone come out and inspect the work?  If so, he approved substandard work--the rotten old siding, the giant nailheads, the dented trim.
I wrote a letter and put my complaints in writing, and I also spoke to someone at length over the phone who promised to talk to a manager and relay my concerns.
In return, five days later I got a letter acknowledging my payment and including one half-sentence regretting the problems. That was it.
So--bottom line: they do a fine job on roofs and probably do a fine job on vinyl, which I believe they are very experienced in. But the Hardie Plank? I would not recommend them. I would not recommend their attention to detail. I would not recommend their customer service. And I would definitely not recommend their project manager, who either didn't inspect our job, or signed off on a substandard (but very expensive) job."
