"In 2017, when I was looking to purchase a house in the Rockford area that was needing a full siding install I contacted GF Company in Belvidere. IL, who I found on Angie’s list and at that time GF Co had great reviews. Strangely enough these great reviews are no longer to be found on Angie’s List. It should also be noted there is a GF Siding in Cherry Valley. IL, this is Not the company that I did business with. Ariel Zmijewski (the owner) got me a quote quickly and I decided to purchase the house. A few months later in July 2017, I contacted Ariel again to discuss the finer points of the quote, the price was revised slightly and the Ariel mentioned that once a deposit was paid work could start 6-8 weeks later, but said the install would be finished before the cold weather arrived. I started creating a color layout and Ariel provided some feedback on what would work and not work. To this point I was very happy with progress. In September 2017 I paid a deposit of over $8k (about 44% of final price) and awaited updates for a start date. Nothing happened. In early March 2018 I contacted GF Co by phone stating that I had been very patient and they had had $8k as a deposit for the last 6 months and I had nothing to show for it. After a couple more calls and emails Ariel showed up with his foreman Mark and they said that work would start in the middle of the following week. Much to my surprise the work started on time. Over the course of the next 4 weeks Mark and his crew worked hard, only missing a few days due to bad weather, I even agreed to having some extra work done by the team, some wooden entrance steps that needed replacing for an additional $2.5k. By early May 2018 the job was finished the house looked great and I was very happy with the work and appearance and was getting compliments from neighbors too. The balance of owed of over $10k was paid with 48 hours of the work being finished. Again I was happy with work done, until… A few months after the install a TV cable box started having troubles. Cut a long story short the wall socket died because cable was suddenly defective, also the crew had moved the exterior cable input box and this didn’t help the issue. Comcast fixed it, but I now have an exterior cable showing and they had to drill through the siding. Then around Halloween 2018, less than six months after having the install completed, I noticed that a piece of siding (6ft approx.) had become detached underneath a window, trying to pop it back into place did not resolve the issue. After checking all the other exterior windows I noticed 1 other window was about to do the same thing. I called the GF Company main number and left a message with the receptionist for Ariel to contact me. No response. I called again a couple of times and left more messages still no response. In March 2019 siding problem under windows still Not fixed, I called GF Company again, no answer, and no voice mail. I called a couple more times on different days still no answer or voice mail. I then sent an email to the company and to my surprise I received a response from Ariel stating this was the first that he had heard of it. About a week later (3/26/19) he showed up at my house to view the problem. Ariel stated that he would get someone over to fix the problem, but would not give me a date or time. On 4/2/19 I emailed Ariel again asking for confirmation of a repair date ? Nothing but crickets… On 4/30/19, I sent another email to Ariel requesting that the repairs be completed before the end of May 2019, again no response. Quote / contract says: Customers will receive a Lifetime Warranty on Material and Workmanship Reported GF Company to Illinois BBB on 6/5/19."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals prioritize the thermal envelope and foundation first during home building in WI. Because of extreme freeze-thaw cycles, contractors secure the foundation and address drainage before moving to interior tasks. Experts evaluate roof structures to ensure they handle heavy snow loads and prevent ice dams. They also sequence exterior work during the short frost-free season, ensuring the home stays safe, warm, and structurally sound throughout the harsh winter.

Helpful?

Completing a home building project in Eagle River significantly boosts property value, especially for waterfront homes. Upgrading a seasonal cabin into a four-season retreat with proper insulation and heating expands your buyer pool. Adding a garage for snowmobiles or updating older structures to meet current codes also increases appeal. Buyers highly value compliant shoreline work and permitted improvements, making these upgrades an excellent focus for your property.

Helpful?

Signs of failing home building work in Eagle River include visible foundation cracks or sticking doors, which indicate frost heave. Sagging roofs or recurring ice dams point to inadequate structural support and poor attic ventilation. You should also look for frost on interior walls or unpermitted plumbing that lacks proper freeze protection. Failing retaining walls near the shoreline or persistent septic odors require immediate attention from a professional.

Helpful?

Before starting home building in WI, verify all required permits and zoning rules for your property. Check shoreline regulations and setback requirements if you live near the water. Inspect your septic system to ensure it handles your planned upgrades. Schedule exterior foundation work during the short summer construction window before the ground freezes. Finally, confirm your local professionals hold valid state registrations to keep your project running smoothly.

Helpful?

During a home building project in Eagle River, experts closely evaluate the foundation to verify it reaches the required frost depth. Inspectors scrutinize the roof system for proper snow load capacity and ventilation. Professionals also assess the thermal envelope, ensuring adequate insulation and air sealing. For waterfront properties, specialists evaluate shoreline buffers and septic systems to confirm everything functions correctly and meets strict environmental standards.
