Roofing, Siding
15 miles from downtown of Kirkland, WA
Chris Forbis says: „Art and his team were absolutely great! I have never worked with a better contractor, and have never been willing to recommend one until now.
Our house had water damaged cedar siding. We found no less than 5 areas of sheeting and joist rot through the whole process, and Art was able to repair every one. While the cost of the siding was fixed, we did agree to time and materials for any water damage, as that is only fair. Art did not price gouge, and that says a lot. We did expand the scope of the project to include soffits, and even with that popping up in the middle of the project, his prices were very reasonable.
The craftsmanship was top notch. It did take a bit longer than expected, but I told Art at the beginning that I'd rather them take their time and do it right, as I didn't want to ever have water damage again. There were a few surprises with the way our house was designed, and Art and his team were very open to creative solutions that both looked great and didn't increase the cost.
One thing I was very impressed with, was how they used flashing in any area that penetrated the siding. They also did a great job caulking around every seam. I'm not worried about leaks any more.
For the actual siding, Art presented us with several options, and we went with cement board planks with a rock facade along the front of the house. It was a very clean installation, and we were already getting complements on it before we even painted.
I feel the painter crew could have taken a bit more time, but it was smokey out from the forest fires and I think they were trying to cram the job into 2 days instead of overflowing into the 3rd. Whatever the reason, we showed Art some areas of trim that didn't get a solid coat, as well as some other touch-up areas, and he got everything taken care of for us at no cost.
All-in-all, we were very happy with Art and his team. When it comes time to replace our roof, we'll be calling him up with out a doubt. Also, in case anyone was wondering, I was *not* paid in any way for this review... just genuinely impressed and wanted to share...“ Show more
