"Brian and his crew were extremely professional and did exceptional work, making my siding project stress free from day 1 until job completion. Brian and the crew were extremely knowledgeable and thorough in explaining things as well as answering questions. Construction can be messy and I was pleased that the job site was cleaned thoroughly at the end of each day, making sure everything the driveway and yard was safe for my family to use. Overall I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the finished product. I would absolutely recommend Exterior Home Services LLC. and will definitely hire them again in the future."

"I think the siding looks great, right now, but, my concern is with the longevity and durability of the siding based on the various issues I continue to find. It just feels like if these little things were overlooked, or worse, intentionally ignored, what does that say about the things I can't see? Are there proper expansion gaps? Are the nails hammered in too tight or incorrectly? Were the manufacturers required nailing patterns followed? Anyway, here is the list of issues I feel should have been completed as part of the $19,500 job. Minor, maybe, but again it's about trusting the work I can't see. I wasn't monitoring the complete demo of the old siding but it was obvious from the contents of the dumper that a fair amount of tar paper was removed along with the old siding and I was surprised it wasn't replaced or at the very least brought to my attention so I could address it. I fear this will cause issues in the future but it's obviously too late to rectify this. A large portion of my house doesn't have any protection under the siding now. On the list of things it's too late to fix, I find it strange that a professional siding crew would install the seams facing the street. I always thought and was confirmed when speaking with other contractors, it was common practice to make the seams as invisible as possible which means they should be facing the rear of the house. The wires for the cable/internet were never reattached to the house. I'm assuming the siding crew thought this was the job of the electricians but clearly, they didn't think it was. A few times a week we can hear them flapping against the house. The fence wasn’t reattached either. We have no floodlights on the side of the house now, they worked before work started, and now they don't. It could just be the bulbs, but it could also be an issue with the wiring, either way, I have to now break out the ladder, climb up 15' and find out. The back gutter drains directly onto the walkway we use to get into the backyard which means with the cold weather comes a nice thick layer of ice on our walkway to contend with. Not directly the siding crew but the gutter installation was part of the overall project I paid for. And lastly, probably the issue that annoys me the most because I see it every day and I know if it's not resolved it will cause an issue in the future is the lack of sealant around the wires and conduit entering the house. See photos. Not only does this just look sloppy (just a chunk taken out of the siding to allow the wires to enter) but without any sealant, water will just flow down the siding and directly onto the unprotected sheathing (see issue one). There are four of said openings in the side of the house now. Overall, not impressed with a company that has great reviews."

"Brian gave us a very fair quote. He did it in the timeline he originally told us. Crew was friendly, efficient, and the workmanship was beyond our expectations!"
