The Siding Guy

They did a very nice job on the work done, but when the bill came they gave me a bill for $ 4,000 higher than thier quoted estimate. They made me sign a contract before they started but I guess that meant nothing and they charge whatever they feel like! Be careful… the old bait and switch.

Last fall I hired Joe to do the siding on my house, which was perfect from start to finish. During the course of that work, I told Joe he could do whatever he wanted to the deck, because I hoped to replace it in the Spring. Joe said, «Really? You know I do decks too, right?» Well, I didn’t. And I had already gotten a couple of quotes. And I don’t want to exercise contractors by getting a ton of quotes (although 3 for a job over $ 10,000 seems appropriate to me). So my wife and I told Joe what we wanted and he quoted it. It was reasonably close to the others (the composite decking and rails were the real price driver here!). We worked with Joe on the available material options and settled in on Azek, which helped ease some of the price burden while still giving us excellent quality product and look. The litmus test was asking Joe if he’d put it on his house. Of the 3 options he gave us, he said he’d put 2 on his house but not the other one. And since we had a 100% perfect experience with Joe and his crew in the fall, even though we had heard great things about the other 2 companies that quoted the job, we didn’t care. The choice was very easy. Go with Joe. We didn’t bother to have anyone else come back and quote the new level we (she!!) decided we wanted. We knew we could trust Joe, his crew, and most of all his integrity to give us a very fair price. Which he did. He said 3 days… it was 3 days… He had my wife come sit on the new bench he fabricated from scratch to make sure it was exactly what she wanted. Crew was there ready to go promptly at 7am, and they finished for the night after 5pm each day. Everything was done just as respectfully to our property and our family as it was in the fall.
I have had some pretty good luck with contractors. And one amazingly terrible experience too (our first, which taught us a lot). Joe, The Siding Guy, and his crew, have far exceeded our hopes and expectations, blowing everyone else away. I can’t say enough how awesome Joe and his crew are, and wish them (and you) all the best going forward.
