Get matched with top metal siding: repairer or partially replacers in Charlestown, MA

"You may be reading this because hiring contractors to do work you know little about is a bit anxiety provoking and can result in some unpleasant results. Even though I have a background in engineering and construction, I moved forward with vinyl siding my home with some trepidation. My wife and I did some research and through a friend’s recommendation hired RJ Scalzi and Sons. The work scope included replacing fascia boards, rake boards, gutters, shutters and downspouts and installing vinyl siding. Jason and Matt showed up on time, and it very soon became clear that they were extremely skilled at their craft. Through every step of the project, they took measures to minimize inconveniencing us, including location of work vehicles and work benches, preventing damage to lawn, shrubs and trees, securing artwork on walls and shelves to prevent damage, communicating updates on schedule and timelines and maintaining a neat work area. Not only did it appear that Jason and Matt were talented, but it was also obvious that they have honed an extremely efficient team that executes work safely, quickly and with the highest quality. Two minor unexpected and out of work scope problems arose during the project that instead of dropping on my lap, as they rightfully could have, they took action and got resolved. Over the days Jason and Matt worked on our home, we were constantly impressed with the quality and efficiency of their work. A major plus was the professional, considerate and friendly demeanor both young men exhibited throughout the project. We enjoyed listening to their good natured banter, that didn’t slow them down one bit, and interacting with them. The completed project looks great and met all of our requirements, a neighbor even stopped by and asked for an estimate. Jason and Matt’s ability to combine high quality efficient work with very winning personal ways made the vinyl siding of our house a great experience and this may sound strange, but it was fun to have them around. We highly recommend RJ Scalzi and Sons for all vinyl siding work at your home, so don’t get stressed -- call Scalzi."

"Brandon and his crew did an awesome job. My wife and I could not be more happy with the quality and cleanliness of the entire bob. They went well beyond of the scope of this project. Brandon and his crew will be hired again for future projects."

"Ideal Siding is a company I'd recommend. I had my siding replaced, and the entire process was well-orchestrated and completed as per the agreement. Elric was quick to address my requests and worries."

"The crew replaced the aluminum flashing at my garage gable and it looks PERFECT!!! They cleaned up and the working area is spotless. They also cleaned my gutters and repaired some gaps at the gutter joints. I would definitely hire again"

"I hired Beantown Strong Construction for a shingle roof replacement and gutter drainage work, and the results were amazing. William and Tony worked very professionally and kept everything clean throughout the project. The new roof looks strong and perfectly installed. Their attention to detail really impressed me. Highly recommend them for roofing services and drainage solutions."

"The experience was very stressful. The siding crew was very rough on our 1774 home. They damaged portions of the trim, a window, and the metal roof. I had to constantly monitor the crew to make sure they minimized damage and completed the work correctly. It was difficult communicating with the Spanish-speaking crew. Materials are in my yard that still have not been picked up 2 weeks later. The finished siding looks good, but that is the best complement I can make. I had doors replaced by Power on a previous job and was very satisfied. I would be cautious recommending Power for siding replacement on a similar old house."

"Outstanding! I am a retired senior citizen who was out of town when a major windstorm uprooted a tree that landed on my house, putting a hole in the roof, along with tearing down all of the siding, and destroying the Soffitt, Fascia, gutters and downspouts. BBS immediately secured a tarp on the roof to prevent further damage, assessed the situation and presented an estimate for the needed repairs/replacement. They then worked closely with my insurance adjuster to agree on a fair price. Their customer service and attention to detail is exemplary. I was always able to communicate with their office management and the onsite construction team. I look forward to hiring BBS General Construction for some future projects that are long overdue!"

"Short story: (we are first time homebuyers/owners) Punctuality & Responsiveness: - Started work 2-3 weeks later than promised - Numerous no call no shows and plenty of good days wasted with excuses - Project was supposed to be done first or second week of November did not finish until 12/23 - Was not able to have our family over for thanksgiving and had to cancel on everyone - Took time out of work just for them to say they be there and cancel the last minute Quality - 4x4 posts are not straight (see photos) - Stairs are held on by 5 screws and they are not secured directly to the 4x4 posts I think they poured footings wrong - Decking has multiple screw holes which should have been hidden and you can see miss cuts they were rushing the job just to get out of there. - Kickers on the stairs have at least a ½ inch gap with the front cap (see photos) - Railings were not measured correctly and shift around - J channeling around were old window was instead of full pieces of siding - Globs of caulking found on railings/windows - cap post is not secured - miss cut in decking - One of the windows shifts (left to right) inside the frame there is no draft so I suppose it is okay. When I asked I was told it is because the house was settling. I would think it could of been solved with a shim. - New window screens were painted (see photos) Professionalism - As mentioned punctuality was appalling - Was accused that this was not a high paying job due to the amount of time it took even though they were the ones who kept messing things up and/or not showing up. - Wrong parts ordered or missing. - My wife wanted a plastic barrier installed to keep the dust in they did put up a plastic tarp but it was not as effective as a barrier. - My wife asked them to remove their shoes and they did this almost every time they entered, which was nice and courteous. - They had to leave the job for another job due to wrong parts for the railings. They did return and finish the job within about a week and a half. Pricing - Fair pricing compared to other quotes and for Tony’s project they were not pushy on payment. I did have them do some side work and with that they were, but my grade does not reflect that. - I wanted to see the finished work before I paid him and due to my job that was not until Christmas day. Tony was fine with waiting until after christmas for final payment. Long Story: I want to start off by saying this only reflects the work I asked Precision Windows to do. I did ask for some extra work to be done with some painting and flooring. Tony came in and gave me an estimate for the project I just wanted to get some windows replaced and a way to access my backyard with a sliding door. The back of my house is about 3-4 feet off the ground so I needed a small deck and stairs. I was told the windows needed a month to come in as they were large and had to be custom made which I was fine with. I was also told that the work would begin the last week of October and take about 3 days to finish. I was fine one the price and the original time frame of everything but I asked Tony to let me know when he knew for sure the date. They delivered the materials to my house and put them in the front driveway with no cover for anyone to see/take even though I have a huge garage and the work was being done in the back. My wife was home that day and asked them to move it and she was told that they do not want to drive on the grass (even though they had permission from us) and that it would be too difficult to put in the garage. It was lowes that delivered it and not Precision so it isn't really his company but he should be aware who he does business with reason I mention this will be explained later on. Tony called me told me when it was going to start and I took the day out of work to be here for construction. The crew was a no call no show. I was told the next day of a family emergency. I was a little angry I wasted my vacation time and wasn't even told what happened but I understand life happens. Work did not begin until 2-3 weeks after the day I was told and we wanted to use the space for thanksgiving. During that time we had rain/snow and the materials I mentioned weren't covered I had to go protect it from the weather. I am a first time homeowner so I did not have any tarps or anything to cover material and had to borrow from family. (Which lives in another state) When work started it was slow and a struggle to get them to come. Family issues, weather, other projects all were told me as reasons why they could not come. A 3 day project turned into almost a 6 week project. When we asked them to correct things they either did wrong or improper we were told that we are being to nit picky and that this was not a high paying project. It was like they were blaming us when every delay was caused on their end. Refer to photos of somethings that are still not corrected. Multiple days they did show up and start the work I was told that they ordered the wrong part and they would be back tomorrow and they would not come for a couple days. At the end you can tell they just wanted to get out of there and they rushed the job. Update: After my previous review the company reached out to me and offered to fix the areas of concern from their previous work. It was nice and very professional of them, especially since I had already paid them and the work was completed. I agreed to allow them to work on my house as long as they sent a different worker than previously. They agreed and sent out two guys to come work on my house. Not only did they show up on time they stayed the full day until the work was done. There was no rescheduling, delays, or excuses this time around. They repairs to the previous work they completed included plugging up all the holes in the deck. They fixed the gaps/ miss cuts with my deck using new pieces. They removed the previous caulking which was placed and resealed my windows, caps, and bases on the posts of my deck. They removed the paint from one of my screens and replaced a second screen entirely. The biggest improvement is they resided my house to a color that matches our current siding almost perfectly. The previous siding used was far off from being a match. The extra work took 1 & ½ days, they worked full days, and they worked around my schedule to make sure they were there while I was there. Honestly I wish my experience was this way from the start. The follow up work was handled very professionally and they were courteous with my time. I am happy they came out to fix these problems and it shows signs of good customer service."

"I needed railings, ballisters, stringers and stairs replaced on my deck. Coen’s job was perfect. They also identified to posts holding up the deck that had insect damage. I had them replace those also. They were professional and new the job. I’d use them again for other projects."
