JL Exteriors

 Company provided good information on product options, pros and cons of each; gave us plenty of options of siding to go with.  He allowed us to make the decision; we weren't "pushed" into his choice.  Delivered materials on time and crew started right away.  Messy prep work; but to be expected on the project.  When unplanned issues came up, he contacted us to tell us and let us make the decision on changes.  Work was completed on time and we have been very happy with the results, no callbacks or problems.  It is important to do homework and shop around so that one is familiar with products, do ask questions, do ask for references that you can drive by and see.  Overall, this was a very positive experience that enhanced the value of our house and added curb appeal; we highly recommend this company.

Started and completed project on time. Assembled kit and shingled roof in just a few days. Had a minor issue that was quickly responded to and resolved without question. Lance and workers seemed to want to make sure we were happy with finished product Followed up after the job was done and wasn't scared to ask us if we were pleased. Very confident that we could rely on service after the sale! As far as the price, we received firm quote prior to work being performed and that is what we paid. Originally we had another quote that was a few dollars less, but Lance was very eager to earn the business without sacrificing quality and was recommended by one of our other contractors who we were happy with so we chose his company. Very happy with our decision to use JL Exteriors. Thanks to J L Exteriors and their staff we are really enjoying our pavilion and will for years to come!

Their work was excellent.  Everything was done in a timely, professional manner.  We were well informed on the different steps they were taking to complete the project.

Lance of JL Exteriors did an outstanding job during a long and complex deck/sun room project.
One vendor managed to ship the wrong custom French door and sidelite unit - wrong color, wrong opening (would block the deck stairs when open) - AND the wrong patio door (wrong side opened).  These units were nearly $10 grand worth of hardware; Lance took care of it all and made it right.  What could have a disaster (and a court fight!) turned into a routine delay instead when the vendor took back the incorrect products and replaced them with the correct units.
He also made sure that the final details of both the deck and the screened-in sun room below came out right in both appearance and function.
Highly recommended.  This project is featured in JL Exteriors current TV ads and made our comfortable but somewhat cramped 1979 brick ranch with walkout basement into our dream home.

We had JL Exteriors side our entire house and replace to corner floor-to-ceiling windows. We have worked with contractors before for various projects large and small and I can honestly say that Lance and his crew were one of the best experiences we've had. Their dependability and quality workmanship were top-notch.
Our house was built in 1985 and had the original Louisiana Pacific siding that was deteriorating badly. We sought bids from four different contractors to replace the siding and gutters. We knew we wanted cement fiber-board and chose James Hardie’s product for each of the bids. Lance’s bid was competitive with the other three, but we chose his company because of the thoroughness of his proposal.
All four companies submitted their bids to us by email, but it was Lance who followed up with a phone call arranging a time to come out personally and explain the proposal. During this meeting Lance not only went over exactly what was to be done and the cost involved with each process, but he also provided names and addresses of past customers so we could look at the quality of his work before making the decision. To offer a point of comparison, one of the other three bids that came in was only one page in length and the description and breakdown of the work didn't even fill up half of this page. This particular company offered free gutters with a whole house siding project and even then their bid was higher than JL Exteriors.
The work began on November 8, 2012, two weeks from the Thanksgiving holiday. Lance told us that the project would take approximately 15 working days and his crew only worked Monday through Friday. We knew up front the work would not be completed before the holiday and that his crew would not be working on the Thursday and Friday of the holiday weekend, which
was fine with us as we didn't have to worry about banging and such going on while we were home during this break. The Pella windows were installed before the holiday so we were able to get the curtains back up.
The crew arrived every morning by 7:30-7:45 am and were packed up and gone each evening by 5:00-5:30 pm. If we had any questions or needed something moved to get a car in the driveway they were very accommodating. They did find some rot in one section of the house and fixed it before installing the siding, but not until showing us the section and getting our approval. At the final walk-through when the work was complete there were a couple of minor things we wanted done and these were completed to our satisfaction.
We love the way our house looks and would highly recommend JL Exteriors.

Slow to return first call to set up an estimate but I called a bit late in the season and they were accommodating any way. After first snowfall greater than an inch they showed up at the appropriate time, removed snow and continued with that fine service until the last snowfall of the season.

Lance (the owner) was a pleasure to work with and very professional. He walked through each section of the estimate and we did a walkthrough at the close of the project to make sure we were satisfied with the work. His price actually came in under estimate and the work was excellent. On the very few items we did notice along the way that were leess than satfisfactory, Lance came by to fix personally, often before we had a chance to mention it. I will definitely choose J&L Exteriors for my next project.

They have been doing fine, and their work looks good so far. They have been a bit intermittent on account of the rain. The main guy has his sick kid at the hospital, so he has been in and out for several days. However, he is doing the job for me now.

He and his crews were professional and prompt. They did not leave anything undone or cause any kind of a mess. They went above and beyond to get our problems taken care of. We would definitely hire Lance and his company for any jobs we may have in the future.
