I had a new roof and gutter/fascia 10 years ago. At the time, I decided to keep the wood soffit as-is, since I had just finished painting it. Now, 10 years later, it was time for another paint job. I was told by someone that getting aluminum soffit installed when the fascia already existed would be difficult, since the soffit tucks under the fascia. My next-door neighbor was getting a new roof in July, installed by Kreuser and Sons. I was so impressed with their work, that I asked about having aluminum soffit installed. Troy Nelson responded quickly to my phone call. He said the job would be easier without the existing fascia, but certainly possible to do. He delivered the bid to my email within 2 hours. I expressed acceptance of the bid, so Troy returned with samples of the material. I paid 1/3 of the cost as down payment, and 3 weeks later Troy called with 3-day advance notice of their planned work day. Troy delivered the materials on August 26. On August 27 they started work at 7:30 am. Troy introduced me to the foreman, Doug. The job task involved cutting a wide hole along the length of the soffit - to increase ventilation (previously I only had a few soffit vents). They placed scaffolding and foot planks around my house, being careful around existing shrubs.
The work crew was a wonderful group of hard-working people - all of them easy to talk with. Their attention to detail was commendable. I was especially impressed with how they installed the soffit panels at the corners - (see photo). They did angle-cuts on the soffit panels that tucked under a corner bar. An easier way would have been to just install uncut full panels - and I wouldn't have known any differently.
The job was done by 4 pm. The mess was cleaned up. It looked very professional. When I need a new roof, Kreuser and Sons will be at the top of my list.

I would recommend Kreuser and Sons if you are having simple work done, like a basic awning, but would be weary of more complicated projects because of the poor communication.
Their first day on the job I learned they had discovered late the evening before that the wrong color bow window had been delivered to them. The manufacturer had been notified and by early afternoon of the second work day the new, correct bow window arrived on site from the factory.
Retro-fitting can be difficult to do but my wife and I are very satisfied and pleased with the workmanship, and look of the new windows; both from inside and out.
