"JD and his crew are professional and efficient.  He replaces the involved woodrot part rather than patches the area.
The craftsmanship is excellent. He had custom sashes made for window involvement and even replaced alarm magnets
recessed in some of the sashes.
JD also returned for further repair as promised after our painter uncovered additional woodrot powerwashing the
house in prepping it.  The one thing I would advise for those having their house painted is to schedule the woodrot 
repair after the house is prepped/powerwashed and all involved areas are exposed so that you can have all woodrot repaired at once. 
This should save you scheduling headaches as JD is very busy.

"Ron Scott, the owner, came out in mid-September and viewed the home. He made several good suggestions about making carpentry repairs that would prevent damage and wood rot in future. Ron also pointed out the siding on the front showed water damage from age and suggested replacing siding on the garage. He promised an estimate within and day on the painting and siding and the garage with Hardy board, and complete the estimate of the carpentry, wood/trim replacement after his crew inspected. An estimate arrived by email late that evening. It was reasonable and including the specific repairs and adjustments he had recommended. He said it might be 6 weeks before he could get a crew out. Fortunately, White Dog called about a week later and said they could send a crew out earlier, if it was convenient. A four person crew showed up in early October and began work removing the damaged siding, rotted wood and preparing the rest of the house for painting. Tony and his three crew members showed up promptly at 9AM every weekday and left around 6PM. Ron came out on the 2nd day and went over the carpentry and repair estimate. He also suggested that replacement of the lap siding on the garage, in time, might not match up well with the rest of the front of the home and putting Hardy board siding across the whole of the front might be an option and gave me an additional quote for the whole front. I agreed to the carpentry and replacing the entire front with Hardy board lap siding. Work continued 6 workdays to completion. It was necessary for me to communicate the specifics of the adjustments and repairs to the gutters and other carpentry items mentioned in the contract but not communicated clearly to the crew. I had noticed that a different brand of Hardy board had been used to finish up the small pieces at the end of the job. It appeared they were damaged to some extent, as if used before. I mentioned this to the crew prior to priming the house and again to Noah Scott, at the final walk inspection. They did not admit not all the siding was new, nor did they deny it either. Ron was particularly sensitive when I first mentioned this in the review and insisted all the siding was new, even though different manufacturers. I suggested producing the invoices showing 2 different purchases of Hardy board. Still waiting to see the invoices. The preparation, caulking, and prime/final coats were expertly done. The house looked brand new. I paid the extra $350 to have them use Sherwin Williams' Duration paint. The last paint job was done with Duration and it held up exceptionally well. As I went back to wash the windows, spruce up the outside, I found that some of the wood trim replaced had the screws driven into the widow tracks, instead of the widow frame. Also, storm widows and doors had not been reinstalled with more air gap than I would have preferred. Two outside lights did not work and it was necessary to reinstall them. I had made White Dog aware of all of these, the whole crew came out as quickly as weather would permit and reattached some of the trim properly and caulked and repainted. I repaired the other items myself. Additionally, White Dog offered to paint an interior room or other handyman work to compensate for the inconvenience."

"They did a great job on my deck. It needed power washing and new stain, let it looking great."

"Work was fast, effective and a great deal! Would hire again."

"He did a great job..would definitely hire him again for any lawn needs"

"Only had 1 room I need Sheetrock hung in and finished. They work around my schedule and completed the project in 2 days."

"They were excellent to work with....
Matthew gave an estimate in which he did not deviate from. (no extra surprises)...He also worked with me on a timeline that had to be met...
The crew was punctual for when the job schedule was scheduled.  The guys on the job were professional, curtious, and very knowledgable about what they were doing.  They completed the job very quickly and kept the surroundings very clean.
I have already recommended Artisan Roofing & Guttering to a family member.
