SCHAFFER & SONS CONSTRUCTION

Work was performed on a single story home with 2 car detached garage. Needed replacement of vinyl siding and Shaffer & Sons is close by to us and we've seen his work around town so it seemed like a natural fit. While Joe was at the house to take a look we had him also take a look at the roof. He found that it probably had a few years left in it, but it didn't make sense to us to just do the siding so we got an estimate to replace the roof as well. Then we also had some windows that had moisture between the panes so we decided to get an estimate on replacing those. Since the roof was getting replaced it made sense to get the gutters done at the same time too. Funny how things add up like that. Overall the job went extremely well. The roof tearoff turned out to be a days more work than expected. When estimating Joe could tell there was more than one layer of shingle on our hip and valley style roof. There turned out to be three layers of shingles on top of a layer of wood shake shingles. His team of hard workers had to strip all that off! Even so he honored the price. None of the previous owners must have ever done a full tearoff! For the vinyl siding his team removed the existing siding then put on a thick insulation board to give a nice even working surface so that the finished look of the siding would be smooth. The insulation board should have given a little boost to the R value of the wall insulation as well. Joe replaced the exterior front light for us as well. As we were seeing things progress on the vinyl siding we could tell that the old doors on the house were just not going to look good. Joe worked up an additional quote to replace the existing doors. We just had to order them. Joe measured for us and told us what size to get. Our house was built in the 1930's so both doors were custom ordered from Home Depot. Joe picked them up for us and got them to fitted in the openings. The back door was a strange size and had to have some woodwork done to get it to fit properly, but Joe managed to get it to fit. Joe was always on site overseeing other workers and doing the work.

fantastic! Everything is perfect all garbage was hauled away. A very pleasant experience.
