Get matched with top metal siding: repairer or partially replacers in Catawba, SC

"We have an 1976 contemporary era home with original cedar siding. I had a hard time finding someone who had experience doing repair work on such expensive and delicate material until I found Vail-Syde Construction. Ruston was an absolute professional and pleasure to work with. He showed up when he said he would, didn’t try to upsell me, was able to source the cedar siding which is not readily available and does top quality work in a timely manner. He and his crew put our house back together beautifully and we are thrilled to have found such a great company to work with. I have hired many subcontractors for our home renovation over the last year and Ruston is a stand out. I plan to use them in the future for all our siding repairs and more."

"I had my siding replaced with HGE. The crew was fantastic, couldn't ask for no better. Jon and Matthew were my project managers for the process and installation. They were very good listeners for all questions and concerns throughout the process which I greatly appreciated. Overall I am very happy with the outcome of the siding and the job they did. If you want quality work and workers that care about what they are doing, I would highly recommend HGE to anyone!"

"Very professional group. Work was performed in three days and included a complete tear down and replacement of the siding, facia, soffit and gutters. Top quality material was used across the board. House looks better than new."

"Albert was extremely responsive in coming out for an estimate and follow-up, and then called a few days in advance to let us know the date they would begin the work.  He described every element in his quotation in detail.  Albert uses "Mad Dog" primer (www.maddogprimer.com) and admits that it is expensive.  However, he believes it at least doubles the life of the paint and he provides a 5-year warranty and free pressure washing yearly for five years to prove that the paint job will hold up well as a result of using the expensive primer.
We were a bit disappointed in the professionalism of the work crew.  They arrived on time but did not seem to have a grasp of the job scope and were very sloppy in beginning the pressure washing.  They sprayed water all over the screened porch (which was supposed to be wiped down by hand and not pressure washed) and got pressure washing solution all over our porch furniture.  A phone call to Albert got the mess cleaned up and the work crew properly "calibrated."  They were extremely courteous guys, though.
They did a nice job on the primer and painting, and also on the fence which we had them stain with Home Depot's Behr deck stain.  They were sloppy on some parts of the job, and in a few instances splashed paint all over the screens on the screened porch.  The screens were too spattered to clean, and so the job foreman said he would replace them instead.  It took him three tries to satisfactorily repair the two damaged screens.
They went out of their way to match the paint color on some of the window, door, and siding flashing so that it would blend nicely with our brick.  This was over and above the scope of the job and speaks to Albert's desire to do whatever is necessary to make the customer happy.
Lastly, the crew was totally unprepared for the post-job window cleaning that Albert promised.  We had to call twice to remind them to come back for the window cleaning, and when they finally came back they didn't have any supplies.  We had to give them towels and they used water, not window cleaner!  Then we had to call them back AGAIN when they took our towels with them.  They did a pretty poor job on the windows, and we had to go over their work and re-wash all of the windows ourselves.
Overall, despite the problems listed above, Albert is certainly worth consideration as we found his overall pricing to be very competitive and they did do a good job.  We would caution anyone who decides to use Albert's Painting to just make sure you closely follow their work and tell them exactly what you want and expect - repeatedly.  Albert is always a phone call away and it is a good idea to make sure the crew knows that you aren't afraid to call Albert if you aren't happy.  Despite the problems mentioned, the crew was very friendly and really wanted to do a good job.  Every item that we pointed out for rework or touch-up was done without argument and with a smile.  For these reasons, we would not hesitate to call on Albert again in the future.

"Our is 2.5 storey and steep roof. Owner visited and without getting on roof told me that you need to replace 2 flashings. The house is 9 years old and according to him ( I am not sure) it is better to replace flashing after 10-12 years any way. I think flashing should have same about 30 years life of roof. However, I accepted the recommendation as cost was $150. Also, I don't think they inspected or did anything on other side of the roof. He sent Brian in the following week to carry out work. Brian is really hardworking honest guy. He spent about 4 hours on roof to replace flashing and nail down singhles on one side of roof. I was not happy since they didn't even look at other side of roof. Since my $200 +79 was worth their effort of 4 hours I am OK with the service provided. However, I felt that they are giving this deal to generate more business. and chnging of flushing was not necessary. Anyway I was happy with Brian and hence I am giving A other wise I would have given B."

"Corey came to our home to do an estimate for deck staining late last fall. He noticed some wood that needed replacement and provided a complete estimate including repairs. Shortly after this, the weather turned cold, so we needed to wait until Spring for the work to be done. By Spring, we noticed the rotting wood siding on the house. Corey added this to the estimate. The crew worked hard until the job was done. They were courteous and professional. We are very happy and especially thankful for the excellent communication every step of the way."

"Great. Step was fixed and roof sealant was applied to exhaust fixtures on roof."

"Bo is very professional, very polite, and just an all-around great guy. He did a great job pressure washing my aluminum sided house, fixed a sagging gutter, removed some mildew from my deck, and was wonderful to work with. Will absolutely hire again!"

"It went well! I called Jerry on Saturday and he responded immediately. Jerry saves the weekend for repairs and was able to have a crew member fix it on Sunday morning. They did a good job fixing the hole and used an extra shingle that we had on hand. Our roof had been replaced in 2011. I was told to call them if the repair caused us any problem in the future. I was pleased with the professionalism of Jerry and his crew member."

"Immediately responded and took photos of damaged areas on roof needing repair. Did the job in less than a week at a fair price, took photos of completed work. Very professionally handled. Highly recommend."
