"Kirkenlow has done a great job installing HardiePlank and doing cedar shake replacements in our townhome community for 5 years. They do high quality work at a reasonable price. Workers are professional and conscientious. The business operates with high integrity and when projects have inevitable hiccups, they make it right. I highly recommend them."

"I contacted the company over the phone. I'd tried to use the Angies List contact system, but that didn't go anywhere. The Office Manager, Gail, answered the phone, took my information and set up a time for Tom to come and look over what I needed done and give me a quote. Tom showed up on time and we went over everything. It was either that day or the next when I got a quote from them via email thru their quoting system. This is the first negative. As of this writing, their quoting system is new to them and seems to not work well. I responded to their email with a couple of clarification questions and then I just waited. After several days of no reply, I called and talked to Gail and she told me that they are new to this system and are still working out the bugs. After that I either emailed her or Tom directly or called them and those were much better solutions for getting things done. I got a contract from the company and I signed and submitted it with a check for 50% of the balance. I was told that it would be 5-6 weeks before I'd see them, and that time frame worked out to be just about on the nose. The crew showed up on a Thursday to do the power washing and then came the next day to do the painting. The guy who was heading the power washing crew had a question about painting the gutters and downspouts and I told him that was in the contract. He seemed confused about it and contacted the office to confirm. The bottom-line positive things are that they showed up on time, did an excellent job of replacing bad wood, calking, and doing the actual painting. They cleaned up well after the job was done. Overall, I’m satisfied with the job and what I paid them to get it done. Here are the negative things. They’re not huge but need to be mentioned. As noted above there was some confusion about the gutters and downspouts. We cleared that up quickly, but still not sure why there was a question. Second, they were supposed to replace all of the soffit vents on the second story and then paint them. I noted after lunch that although it looked like they were nearly done painting the soffit, the vents hadn’t been changed out. There was a bit of a communication problem, even with the crew boss, whose command of English was OK, but not sure we were communicating well. At any rate the vents got done, but I’m not sure they would have if I’d not mentioned it to him. The bottom line for me about the negative things is that there seems to be a disconnect between what's in the contract and what the guys know to do. If I'd not said anything to the one guy would anyone have known to do the soffit vents? The same thing applies to painting the gutters and downspouts. Something triggered them to start on the soffit vents. I do know that they'd started loading up their ladders and painting equipment like they were done before the vents were done. One other minor complaint is that I would have liked for someone to do a final walk around with me, preferably before they loaded up all their equipment to make sure that I was satisfied with the job. I'm not a terribly picky person, but I do like to get what I paid for. The crew did a really good job. Everything looks nice and fresh and I know that a lot of questionable wood got replaced. I would use this company again. My suggestions to them are as follows. Either trash the quoting system or until they get it working properly, follow up everything with an email outside the quoting system. The second thing is to make sure your crew knows everything that needs to be done. Third, the crew boss or someone from the company needs to communicate throughout the day about any issues. Fourth, they ought to do a walk around before loading up to make sure the customer is happy. Finally, Tom did a good job getting me the quote and working with me until the contract was done. Gail in the office was super."

"I had two wall sections with damage that needed to be repaired with new drywall and paint. Vitaly from Apex Design Build did a beautiful job on the walls -- I'm very impressed. I hope not to need that skill again any time soon, but I will certainly contact them the next time I need another wall repaired -- it's virtually impossible to tell there had been damage. He also adjusted a ceiling fan that had been installed by a friend (a mistake -- use a professional!) and it took him only 15 minutes. I have always been very impressed by how Apex Design Build cleans up everything when they are done working -- and they even took it away with them. Excellent work and in a timely manner for me."

"Aztez representative and workers were prompt and courteous. Overall the job turned out OK and looks nice. The James Hardie stucco sheets and trim were installed in a manner that is much better and should be more weather resistant than original stucco sheets. All trim pieces, including angle cuts, were cut by hand with a circular saw but look very good. Notes from the job that lead to my overall rating. 1) Aztec representative and workers communicated very well with me to discuss and decide on options for specific details to ensure the overall look and appearance was maintained. 2) Instead of removing the old siding, I was talked into installing the new sheets over the existing sheets. Because of this, I asked repeatedly to be informed of any damage or deterioration due to water intrusion (old siding had rotted in several locations) and to remove/repair any damage prior to installing the new sheets and trim. To my knowledge, this did not happen because I caught working covering up one location that needed repair. I was disappointed this was not brought to my attention. Were there other areas of damage that were covered up and not repaired? I'll never know. 3) Job was quoted with 2 coats of paint. Paint was sprayed and completed in 1 day. I asked how it was possible to apply 2 coats of paint in one day without letting the 1st coat dry. I was told, 2 passes with the sprayer was the equivalent of 2 coats of paint. I was not aware of this practice and not sure this really constitutes the equivalent of 2 coats of paint. While I noted that I would hire again, this would only be with closer oversight. The latter 2 issues left me with the opinion that the priority of the workers was to get the job done as quickly as possible with less emphasis on quality of work. While I have given a passing grade, there is opportunity for improvement."

"This was siding replacement for the second level of a 2 story house (first level is brick). UHQ was selected because of the positive reviews and the cost was less than other quotes. Though it seemed like a lot of money, seeing how much labor is involved in siding replacement, I now feel like we got a great deal. The Fiber-cement was replacing original wood siding. There was about a 2 month gap between agreeing on the work and the work beginning, due to scheduling and it being over the winter. We received regular updates on the materials being ordered while we were waiting for the start date. Once the work started, we received regular contact from the company, to assure the work was going as expected. The gentlemen who did the work were fantastic. Most of them only spoke Spanish, but we were able to figure out communication. I was truly amazed as how hard those men worked, and how late in to the evening they went. Their work ethic is something to be admired. The work took about 2 weeks, with some work being done on the weekends. Considering the amount of work that was done, this was very reasonable. In the end, the house looks much better, with every gap caulked. This is a company that is seems to be working to build a reputation by giving the customers a quality, properly installed product for a fair price."
