"{Member's name removed}, I am sorry but you must have the wrong company. Thank you, Dave Carman Benchmark Siding"
Dave's crew is a very hardworking group of guys. Most of the work was done in August, and it was tough to install a new roof in that heat. But they just kept at it. They took very few breaks while on the job. They were also very pleasant and willing to explain things when stuff came up. Dave usually stopped by to see the progress and ask if everything was OK.
All projects like this have issues that come up. Dave was responsive to addressing them. For example, I felt the last row of shingles in the front of the house hung over the gutter too far. I thought it might be a problem when trying to remove leaves that would eventually end up in the gutter. Dave didn't necessarily agree, but he had the shingles trimmed anyway.
To me, the best example of the quality of Dave's and his crew's work is the following. About a month and a half after they completed the project, super storm Sandy hit. Although trees were knocked down very nearby and branches were blown around, we did not lose a shingle or have a piece of siding tear loose.
I would highly recommend the company and would definitely choose them for my own future siding needs.
Very unprofessional, would not recommend this business.
"I do appreciate the opportunity to have bid this work. Most of what [removed member name] states is True. I did have a scheduled appointment with her, I did call well in advance of our scheduled meeting to move it back until later in the day, I also called her 15 minutes before arriving at her house to confirm. I then continued on to her house and drove by the property and after seeing the home and a quick view of the neighborhood I decided I did not want to work on this home or in the neighborhood. I called her after I passed the house and left a voice message stating I was not interested in bidding the work on that home. [removed member name] then called me back about 1/2 hour later and I re-stated to her I was not interested in bidding the work. I did explain to her politely that it was an old home and the houses are close to each other so I would not be interested in bidding the work. I was also concerned with the safety of my employees and my equipment in the neighborhood."
Combine his pricing along with the teams that did the work, and the value exceeded all other contractors that were bidding the work for my home.
I hope to upload before -n- after pictures to his website so people can see the transformation of my house.
I am now looking to replace patio doors on my home and he is the first person I'm going to call.
If you decide to work with Benchmark Siding, you will not be disappointed.
So we we signed up and within a couple weeks the work started, right when he said it would. The bulk of the work lasted the 10 days or so it was estimated to, some work from sub-contractors followed on a bit (porch, porch railings) as expected. The crew was polite, communicative, prompt & worked almost continuously (short breaks, etc). Every day of the job they tried to neaten up the areas, making things safe & clean wherever possible.
The entire job was done on time and on budget and we're obviously very, very pleased with the entire process and the end product.I'd attach before & after pictures but I don't see how:) And its been nearly a year since the work & it still looks new - unaffected by the sun, wind, etc over the last year.
We'd not hesitate to recommend Dave/Benchmark Siding to others... In fact neighbors saw the speed and quality of Benchmark's work and signed earlier this Spring for work based on our recommendation. Their work was done as well as ours and they're very impressed and happy with it as well.
The price was fair, and I will definitely ask them to come back and replace more windows when it is in my budget. Benchmark is a company that values quality. I highly recommend them.
The only delay in completing the work was that we needed a new chimney cap and the subcontractor that did this was quite slow in getting to this. However, Benchmark kept us informed with this detail and did not charge us for this work until well after it was completed.
One other thing about the project is that it would have been good to give more detail on the costs of goods vs labor. We had a hard time determining the cost of the windows minus the installation charges for filing the income tax rebate on the energy efficient windows.
