They weren't the lowest bid we received, but we were confident of our choice after meeting with them -- and are VERY happy with the final results. Our positive impression of Rain City began during the bidding process, when we asked how much we could save by tearing off our old aluminum siding and restoring the sheathing ourselves. The answer was startling, especially given that another firm's estimator had simply blinked and said their bid would be unaffected. That also gave us a chance to install several exterior outlets and lights in time to have them properly trimmed out by R.C. Through each phase of the project, Rain City's crew and staff were prompt, courteous, relentlessly professional... and cheerful! Even through long days in crummy weather, they remained hardworking and considerate of our needs (we both work at home, and were mostly in the house throughout the project). We asked for two change orders during the project, both of which were accomplished painlessly and with only minor upcharges. These guys make a reasonable profit, but absolutely defy "greedy contractor" stereotypes. Upon completion, our siding, soffits, and gutters all look rail straight -- even though our home has sagged noticeably in places. The optical illusion is so complete that our 60 year-old house looks brand new. Every penetration is meticulously trimmed and fully waterproofed. Our little house looks so much cleaner and brighter now, with its crisp window detailing and contrasting gable color, that we're a little afraid of our next tax assessment. In fact, we liked Rain City's work so well that when we found out they also build decks, we immediately reengaged them for that project. It also went quickly, painlessly, and came in on budget despite a brief confusion on rail spacing that required several hours of re-work. The deck, like the beautiful Hardie siding, makes an impressive upgrade to our modest little house. They didn't make much mess at any point, and even volunteered to haul off leftover debris of ours (in addition to the detritus generated by the deck project) when they cleaned up our site; there was no charge for that. Really just over-the-top service, every step of the way. I would recommend Rain City Exteriors to anybody interested in a quality, timely siding job or deck project. Although our siding was delivered with factory-baked paint, I imagine Rain City's painting crews are as quality-conscious as Jose and his boys were for us. Thanks, Rain City. You guys rock!
