They did a good job, but their subcontractor was not very eager to finish the job. It took them too long.

He built a wall at the rear of the house and took out an old sliding door both upstairs and down..Glenn provided the windows but I wanted a specific door that he did not carry. Glenn's crew did all the installation work in two days. They come early and work late so your home is not tied up. Great job. When my neighbor saw my work she contacted Glenn and he did hers as well.

A single carpenter dropped by cleaned up the small mess, installed a new replacement piece of Hardi soffit, then painted the piece to match.  Others who did not know which piece was replaced cannot find the repair.
The repair was made free-of charge, the work was clean, prompt, and expert.

The crew played loud music the entire time.  They damaged shrubbery and left trash all over the yard.  The business did not respond to my complaints.  The vinyl siding was wind damaged at a later date.  I called the manufacturer, they sent me vouchers to pay for the repair.  Houston Siding then refused to come out and fix it, because the amount was too small.  I had to pay contractors to come and repair the damage because Houston Siding would not stand behind their work.

Crew showed up on time, the carpentry was superb and they were professional and polite.  When performing the final inspection I discovered they had marked up the house paint with ladders, hands, etc.  However, Houston Siding quickly responded by sending their painters out the next day to correct the issue.

Sub contractors used for everything.  Broke my window and tried to blame it on my dog.  Unless she flys, there was no way it could have been my dog. Replaced with a new window and broke that window.  Had to call Bill Baker to get that resolved.  Painters did not seal doors and windows as per our request.  Siding hung WRONG and when we asked them to fix it, they came out and said they would be back to repair.  A week later when we didn't see anyone, they said our house has shifted and that if we want it fixed, we would have to pay for additional materials and labor.  Now, unless our home shifted in the three days it took us to notice the crooked siding, why on earth would we have to pay additional money for what they should have fixed correctly in the first place.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.  THEY DO NOT STAND BY THEIR WORK.
Response from Houston Siding Co
"My statement is that we were a member of Angie’s List in February 2009. Since that time Houston Siding has not been a member. Houston Siding sent out a staff member twice to insure the caulking and painting was completed properly and both jobs were fine. We also sent out a Supervisor to determine the problem. He found the homeowner and another person trying to install a door and the wall they were installing it on was out of square. This was caused during the original framing of the home. We had nothing to do with the wall being out of square. If we had moved the wall the sheetrock on the inside of the home would have cracks which it does not. Our supervisor expressed to the member that the salesman would contact them on a price to repair the frame. Our salesman did call them with the price of $600.00. This price included moving the wall, repair the sheetrock and new siding, painting the interior and exterior of this 5ft wall. We never heard back from them. It is not uncommon that during the original slab pour that the form is moved. This will cause a small wall and corner area to get out of square, sometimes 2 or 3 inches. When this happens a door must have several shims inserted in many areas to make the door function correctly. This was explained to the member by our supervisor, he also showed the member where someone had filled in the gap in the concrete. Again, I am sorry that the member feels that we caused this out of square situation. Sincerely, Glenn Skates, President"

The crew was professional and did a quality installation. They showed up about mid-morning but worked until the job was completed - about 7:30 or 8PM. The job was inspected by a PE, and I just received my windstorm certificate last week. (The state was slow, not Houston Siding.) I wish that Houston Siding had been more upfront about informing me of the need for or at least disadvantages of not having a windstorm certificate for the window installation. I had to inquire about this to my insurance agent, and then inform Houston Siding that I expected it to be a part of the job. I paid an additional $250 for the windstorm inspection. In the roofing trade, I believe the windstorm inspection is generally automatically included by a quality roofing company. Overall, they did a first class installation. I would definitely use this company again.

Will came to the house to measure everything and then sent me a very detailed estimate, describing everything that would be done. The price was well within my budget. He came back over to help me pick out the color and was very helpful. He told me it would take a couple weeks since the windows had to be ordered. When they came in, we scheduled the day and they were here on time. All of the windows were installed in one day. They also started on the siding that day and took a few days to finish up the installation. Then the painters came, which took another few days. The job was done exactly as it was described to me and in the time they stated. Ian kept me up to date on what was going on and always asked if there were any problems to be addressed. I am extremely happy with the job that was done and would recommend them highly.

After Hurricane Ike in September 2008, I contacted the original installer of the siding, to seek an estimate and schedule a repair on this rental house. Two months later, and only after I begged them to go out, since I had just signed a contract to sell the house, the original siding company finally sent an estimator out. Their estimate, as it turned out, was more than twice what Houston Siding ultimately gave me. Also, and more concerning, the other siding company said they didn't have sufficient staff to be able to give me a reasonably firm completion date. They also said they'd have to order the siding and that could take weeks or so. In the meantime, however, I saw/heard several of their ads for new siding, so I guess they were more interested in new installation revenues than in taking care of existing customers. Finally, I contacted a number of siding professionals to see what could be done. Houston Siding was the firm I chose. They had an estimator/representative out there the next day or so. Not only did they already have the materials, an exact match, but they could schedule the repair right after they were to finish a new installation for another customer, the following week. In other words, they had sufficient personnel for both new and repair related work. Houston Siding's team showed up when scheduled and completed the repair in half a day and within budget. Their installer called me that morning when he was on the way, and then a few hours later after completing the repair. He noticed while there, an area that needed further reinforcement and just did it, without calling first, and at no extra charge. I would recommend this firm, Houston Siding, to anyone needing new siding or just repair work, as did I. Another way to say it, they take care of business whether you give them a major job or a little patch job. Says a lot to me.

High quality work once they got started. Time to start was delayed twice from original estimate. Damaged some landscaping.

I learned a lesson from this company. Just to get everything on paper during the sales process. When I had a complaint, they did try to make me 100% happy. I would use them again, but I would make sure of what I was getting before they started.

Houston Siding Company was really respectful of me and my property. They were professional. They were very clean and made sure they didn't dirty up my house. I was very pleased with them and their service. I plan to have them come back and do some more work on my home.

This was a difficult job! I had old steel casement windows that needed to be removed. They worked until 8 PM to stay on schedule. Additionally, they were flexible in allowing me to provide my windows which I have a source for manufacturer's cost. Lastly, my Hardi-siding looks great and the paint is perfect. They were in and out in 4 days!
