Get matched with top metal siding: install or completely replace pros in Charlotte, NC

"What went well: -Manager was a prompt, helpful communicator -Quality of workmanship was good -Both workers were skilled -When discussing exactly how much wall to tear out and how much siding to replace he was very willing to 'do as much or little as you want.' What didn't go well: -Labor cost is appx $1/minute per worker. Both workers came and looked at the situation, then BOTH left to get supplies and were gone over 2 hours. Granted the siding to my house can be difficult to find, but since BOTH went shopping, shopping time alone cost $200. -Part of the project involved installing a dog door. When the guy went to install it, it was missing piece, so I had to go to PetSmart and buy another one. When I left, he said, "I guess I'll just sit in my truck until you get back." I said, "You could cut the sheetrock or bead board." I was only gone about 20 minutes, and when I got back, the garage where the sheetrock and bead board were stored was still closed and he was not at the work area. Pretty sure that smoking break cost me $20. -Later that day, I didn't hear any activity for about 20 minutes and saw them on a smoke break. $40 smoke break. There were other smoke breaks as well, and I understand they need a little break, but 20 min seemed excessive. Perhaps they should have take a formal lunch break. -The day after they left, I went to paint and found about half the nail holes not caulked and part of the sheetrock work was lumpy and not sanded. Conclusion: Overall nice job, but due to the unfinished work and extra cost, I wouldn't use them again."

"I am so glad I chose Ideal Siding to replace rotten old cedar off my 1982 home. I worked with Micheal and he was excellent to work with. He made this huge decision an easy process and I got everything I wanted and hoped for with the end result. My home looks amazing!!! The color and quality of the siding is excellent and I couldn’t be happier with how my home looks. If you’re questioning which company to use, don’t look any further than Ideal Siding and ask for Micheal. You will have a great experience and love the new look of your home."

"Albert came out and gave me quote, and seemed very courteous, but said I was outside his normal service area of the city of Charlotte. He agreed to do the work in two weeks, and said he would call to confirm. he never called or showed. I called back the following week, and again he scheduled a day to come out. He never called or showed. I had to request refund today because it has been 30 days since I purchased it."

"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."
