Lakeside Renovation & Design

Lakeside replaced our siding (with hardie board), fascia, gutters, painted all existing soffits and porch, and added trim around all of windows. They were excellent with communication from the start of the project until the end (and even after)!! I felt like they really listened to what I wanted and made my visions come to life. The crew was very detail-oriented, conscientious of noise, and cleaned up everyday throughout the project. I felt they were very trustworthy and I’d 100% recommend them. I’m very pleased with the results and will reuse their company. A few added bonus were their price was very competitive, their warranty is the best that I came across, and they use in-house crews.

Great the new windows are awesome and they also solved problems where water was leaking into the house.

Couldn't have been better! Completed in 1 day! Quality product and workmanship!!

Lakeside's work was outstanding. They fully understood our design goals and completed the project on-time. This is our second project with Lakeside and we recommend them highly.

The employee, Daniel, arrived on time and was professional. He removed a bird "condo", replaced the soffit, caulked and painted. It was a very hot day and he smiled the entire time, did a great job and answered all my questions.

From start to finish I could not be happier with the service I received. They did a wonderful job, I would absolutely use their company again.

Excellent! They were very helpful. They provided and did what we asked for. They got the job done in a timely manner and they did good work.

They are very pleasant they are very nice and helpful.

Excellent. Started at around 6 AM, and were done in a week. Have had several compliments from neighbors. Would highly recommend.

Lakeside did a great job, terrific quality and great to work with. They are a bit pricey but the Hardie Board will last forever and looks great. They are very detail oriented and responded to any concerns I had.

This is the third "major / high-dollar" project Lakeside Exteriors has performed for us. They installed James Hardie siding, replaced our roof (both projects back in 2007) and now replaced all the windows on the front of our house. They are responsive, professional and courteous in all aspects of their work. A very reliable contractor.

Two people came to do the work, they were fine. The work took maybe a few hours. I think their thoroughness was the best part.

I could have probably found a better deal. They did a good job except for tops. They were quite late. They were a few weeks late in starting the project. Two persons came out. I might use them again for siding but not for pillars. The hauled all the old stuff away and cleaned up. Thigs didn’t work out as well as I thought it would.

They were great, everyone always asks me who did the work and I always recommend them. The work is beautiful, and I may even have them come out again to do some more work.

The services were outstanding. The guys who installed the siding and windows were very good. They cleaned up after themselves. They took out an archway upstairs and installed a double sided window, and it looks like it was always there.They completed the work in a shorter time frame then what was estimated.I would recommend them to anyone who needs exterior work completed.

We couldn't be happier with the work that Lakeside did on our home.  We have had a lot of work done on our home in the 8 years we have lived in it, and my husband and I both agree that Lakeside is the best contractor we've hired to date.  
From the beginning we could tell that we wanted to work with Lakeside.  Dan Merrifield, one of the owners, was our main point of contact and he is just a genuinely nice, trustworthy guy.  From start to finish he communicated with us very well about our expectations and Lakeside's processes.  
The job took about 4 weeks total, including the siding, replacement doors and windows.  The guys on the crews were all very friendly and courteous.  Several of them showed me pictures of their kids and I could tell in talking with them that they really take pride in what they do.  One day I came home and they were ripping off a section of siding that had been completed the day before.  I thought it looked fine.  Mike, the crew leader, said in a very nice way that he was glad I thought it looked fine but he was the siding expert and it wasn't perfect (he had kind of a dry sense of humor which I can appreciate).  He wanted it to be perfect.  I'd have never known it wasn't perfect to begin with, but that's the level of service that Lakeside provides. 
I'm giving Lakeside an "A" for price with the following caveat: they are selling high-end James Hardie siding and fiberglass windows & doors.  These products are expensive.  If you are looking for inexpensive vinyl windows & siding Lakeside may not be a good fit for you.  We received three estimates for James Hardie siding and they were all very close to one another, including Lakeside's estimate.  Their estimate for fiberglass replacement windows was significantly lower than the other two window estimates that I had received for just vinyl windows.
If you are not familiar with James Hardie siding, it's a pretty amazing product but can be tricky to install correctly.  Lakeside is Hardie's preferred contractor in the St. Louis area.  I believe they are one of the top installers of it in the country.  They offer a lifetime warranty on their workmanship, so if there are ever issues due to installation you are completely covered.  Based on my research of Hardie siding, the only issues that come up are really with installation, so we felt secure knowing that this wouldn't be an issue for us.  
We have already recommended Lakeside to several of our friends and neighbors and we would not hesitate to use them again.
