Get matched with top wood or fiber cement siding repair or partial replacement pros in Brownsville, PA

"They replaced our roof and did a excellent job. Very professional, skilled workers, fast and cleaned everything up."

"Such an easy and smooth process. Would highly recommend Porter House Remodeling to anyone in need of timely and quality work."

"Cost was $1,000.00 higher than the price I received from 2 other gutter replacement installers. Also, I did not like the practice of requiring a decision on the spot or the price goes up. I need at least 24 hours to make a decision about these type of purchases."

"The company demonstrated true professionalism. The replacement was completed in a timely manner, and the finished product looked great. It only took one day to remove the old shingles, replace areas of bad wood, and install the new shingles. I was amazed at the work ethic of the entire team. Most importantly the clean up was perfect. I couldn’t find a single nail or any pieces of shingles. I would definitely use Planet Roof again, and have recommended them to my friends and family."

"An email I sent Pittsburgh Exteriors last week: Pittsburgh Exteriors: Over 8 months ago I completed payment on a roof replacement and venting per a contract between Pittsburgh Exteriors and me. This represented one job for Pittsburgh Exteriors, and almost an entire summer's wages for me. I believe I did all I was supposed to: I got three bids; I read many recommendations from Angie's List, I contracted local. I even fed the roofers. 8 months later, I look at my roof and in my attic and I see unfinished and sub-standard work that Kevin promised would be corrected over six months ago. The flashing on the side roof does not meet at all points; the front porch roof is bowed (and worsening with the weight of snow); the gutter on the front roof is sagging on one side; and the bathroom venting in the attic looks like a second-grade science project. I was patient with the initial service when, after being sold on the idea that the company uses an appropriate number of fully vetted roofers, only two were hired (and one laborer worked a half day). I cooperated when the corrections did not occur at first because of workers' injuries, workloads, etc. I chose not to complain on Angie's List. But after many phone calls and empty promises, I would like some action. I intend to hire a roof inspector to point out any and all repair and replacement issues that should have been covered under the contract, some of which were pointed out to Kevin on the final walk through, and to the office staff after Kevin's notes apparently didn't get communicated to them. It's time to finish the work I paid for, before the spring and summer new contracts take precedence. There can be no question this is what Pittsburgh Exteriors owes me."

"Excelente trabajo, cumplidos y limpios al terminar"

"After I got 5 estimates, 3 for Asphalt shingles, 2 for Metal roofing I decided to go with First Choice because Dave explained exactly what he planned to do. The other contractor wanted to install the metal roof over the exiting Shingles even after I explained that I suspected that some wood decking was damaged and needed to be replaced. I was able to do everything over the phone and via email as I am currently deployed overseas.
"

"Everything went well. Demo of the old deck took less than a day. Total work time was about 4 days excluding weather delays. We love our new deck and it gives us plenty of usable outdoor space. We had to contact RMS a few weeks after the install was done concerning a few warping boards and his crew came back out to repair them without any additional fuss. I do recommend RMS and I currently have them working on a few additional interior and exterior projects."

"I will use McNeely Construction for all of my home improvement needs! I had a leak in my roof that caused damage to the ceiling in my bedroom. I called five companies and explained the situation and requested bids. A couple were in my range, but I thought I would try one more, and I am so glad I did! They were the only ones to offer to tarp or temporarily patch the hole until the work began – that was the first clue that I was dealing with a company that puts their customers first. The estimator, Brandon, was at my house on time and he was able to answer all of my questions. I didn’t feel any pressure to sign a contract, but I did because of the amazing customer service and the price was right. Six days later, I had a new roof and it looks fabulous! The ladies in the office, Sheri and Janelle, kept in constant contact with me before and after the job. The next day, I had a neighbor ask me who I used because they loved the new roof and needed theirs replaced. I did not hesitate to give them the number for McNeely. I will refer all of my friends and family in the future. .... My next project is siding! I can't wait!"

• Met with Gino early June. Original contact with him (he called) was 3 hours after my email on a Sunday! Met with him several times going over what we wanted, gave him architectural drawings of the deck and discussed materials to be used. We had some concerns over attaching such a large structure to the house and wanted to be sure we would have no problems with it shifting or collapsing and to make sure the weight bearing was addressed with all posts etc. He was great to deal with, able to reach easily and quick to sign the contracts and pick up the deposit. I called 3 references, all glowing. All stated Gino's men worked from 7:00am to 7:00pm and finished the jobs in the assigned time and quality of work was excellent. 2 were repeat customers and some even referred him to their friends and actually he was on those additional jobs then. Sounded GREAT!
• Contracts signed 6-22-12

Promised start date 7-16-12 and quoted a 10-14 day job. The only item not included in our original plans was the railing. We changed our minds and added the railing to the bid on 7-17-12 and paid for supplies and labor for this addition in full. Not once did Gino mention this may cause an extension on the original 10-14 day job time.
Promised start date delayed a week to 7-23-12. No one showed up. We had to call him to see what was going on! He then promised they would be there on 7-25-12, no one showed. FINALLY they showed up on 7-28-12. He offered NO explanation at that time.  
His employees would not show up for days with no explanation. Weather was cooperative. I found the prIncipal problem to be inexperienced employees with little to no supervision, they seem unsure as to what to do. Some errors in work were so obvious I noticed them! All issues we pointed out were corrected promptly.   
Here is a timeline of the work done using my dated photographs as a reference so as to be fair and accurate: 
July 28th-siding removed (3/4 of the back of my home is exposed to the elements). Holes being dug for sonna tubes. (note-they did have to dig in bedrock and actually needed jackhammers for a few of them).
August 3rd-sonna tubes in. 3 long beams in for the base of the deck (extending to the back from the house).
August 7th-framing has been done for the second time. First time they had such a bow in it that a foreman ripped it out and redid it in a day! 
August 13th-started roof beam frame. 
August 15th-roof frame complete.
August 20th-shingles on the roof complete-more siding removed.
August 22-face of the roof completed. (triangle part now solid)
August 25th-face of the roof now has scalloped siding 
August 28th-inside of roof framed for soffit.
August 30th-2 of the 3 columns up, 14 X 22 section of decking almost complete.
August 31st-all decking down, 3 columns done- still no siding on my house. We have been having major water damage to the interior of our home due to heavy rainfall and no siding. Spoke with GIno about our concerns but still no finish date set.
September 7th-railing 3/4 done, still missing siding and steps. 
September 13th railing complete, still needs soffit work and gutters. Siding now beginning to be being replaced but it has been almost 2 months without siding!
September 21st-soffit work completed. Siding is on and has been cleaned with a pressure washer.  Finally able to place my recently purchased furniture (June) onto my deck. Still needs lattice work completed but at least now I can sit on my deck (in a jacket!) Just in time to put the furniture away for the winter!
October 3rd-lattice work complete. Deck finally finished.
 To sum up my experience with Gino and ECO Builder Services:
 The end result was a beautiful deck. He always returned our calls even when he knew we were upset or angry. 
  
What I did not like
The time promised for the job (10-14 days) did not equal the time it took to finish the job! (82 total days/60 work days if you count Monday to Friday).
 When I addressed this with Gino I was met with rude comments, him hiding behind 2 separate contracts of 10-14 days , plus the add on contract (for items he neglected to include in the original bid!) 5-7 days and stating the times listed for each job were consecutive.  While I understand weather may play a part in missing some days here and there, I can assure you that the weather was the least of it. Lack of appropriate workers on site was always the problem.
 
I did not appreciate being bumped for more "important" clients and being the subject of his poor time management skills. Spending $19,000 on a deck and not being able to use it for an entire year is not what I had in mind back in mid JUNE.
