Brad Sime Carpentry

This is a 62 year old house that needed new siding and windows and front door. We hired Brad Sime to do all three tasks. The work was started and completed on time, and was done well. The best indication of that is that we didn't call back even once with problems after Brad completed the work and we made the final payment. After he removed the existing aluminum siding and wood siding underneath that, he applied foam board and cement board siding. We hired him because of his experience with cement board siding. The siding work was professionally done and looks good. The foam board insulation was well applied and taped, and integrated well with the new windows. Brad replaced bad boards when he found them. The window replacement and door replacement also went very well. The Marvin double-pane windows were installed according to manufacturers recommendations, which Brad was quite familiar with. Azek trim boards were used for external trim, and look good. The one quality comment we have is that the internal window trim was done kind of quickly, and though it's quite functional, it doesn't look as artistic or as well finished as we'd like. That's the only reason we marked him down as good quality instead of excellent quality. All external work was excellent quality.

Brad was always open to questions and comments, and had knowledgeable answers. He was pleasant to work with, and we'd hire him again for work like this. He's a one-man crew, and said the work would take a month. He scheduled it when it was most convenient for us and for the weather. He worked steadily and completed the work on schedule. The work was phased to prevent any inconvenience to us.

It went very well. Brad knowledgeable, experienced, very reponsive to our questions and requests, did great work, worked fast, completed on schedule, suggested some extra features from his past experience that we adopted. Did excellent quality work on outside, slightly less artistic on inside window trim work.
