"Bob did a great job removing an old and installing a new storm door. He worked quickly, was meticulous and paid attention to every detail. We were very happy with the result, and he was very pleasant to work with."

"We had a new cedar fence installed around our yard. So impressed with the quality of the work and how fast the job was done. Wladimir was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He even came back the next day to fix a couple pickets he was not 100% happy with. Hard working and thorough team. Will definitely recommend them and call them again in the future."

"We just wrapped up a big project with EB Window & Siding - replaced all vinyl siding, shutters, gutters, and trim on our exterior, replaced a few windows, and removed an old balcony and door. Overall, the experience was really terrific. Colin came out a couple of different times to discuss options, timelines, etc. The majority of the work was completed by a crew of 3-4 each day, led by Oscar. It was immediately clear to us that the entire crew took great pride in their work. Oscar was thoughtful about some of the tricker parts of the house and how best to accent different areas with the materials we had selected. Everyone was incredibly courteous, clean, respectful of the property. They never wanted to bother us, but anytime we asked for updates, they’d walk us around the house and describe what was being done. Everything wrapped up on time, despite holidays and inclement weather. In the days that followed, Colin coordinated a few additional people to help out with miscellaneous punch list items, and everything was wrapped up in a timely manner. We interacted with a lot of different people from EB Window & Siding throughout the process, and everyone was top-notch in terms of craftsmanship and customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone taking on a project like this."

"Overall experience was excellent.  Charles is a true professional and communicates well. And, he does so with a very nice manner. <br /> <br /> Charles came to my home to look at the project and discuss options.  I noticed immediately how organized he was which turned out to be an additional plus to the project. The day he put the window in he did so with a process that was seamless and neat. He also did an excellent job of cleaning up once the project was done.  All my neighbors remark on how the choice of style and the color of molding fit my house so beautifully. Charles was helpful in giving me options from which to choose. <br /> <br /> During last winter, one area of the window cracked.  Charles came right away to check it out.   He then told me about why this had happened and the manufacturer would come to replace.  He was right and the manufacturer was timely and pleasant about fixing the issue. <br /> <br /> I recommend Charles with hesitation."
