Get matched with top exterior trim installers and replacers in Slidell, LA

"The installation went smoothly. The workers showed up early and got to work immediately. They took out a window, cleaned the site, installed the new window. The windows in the three bathrooms, the kitchen, the den, the enclosed porch, the study, and, the master bedroom were replaced by the end of the first day. The windows in the living room, dining room, sewing room, and one bedroom were replaced the second day. The bathroom window are frosted, so they let in light, but provide privacy. The windows were made according to the specific measurements for each area and group of windows. My home has so much more natural light in all the rooms. It is also quieter inside. My daughter and I are pleased with the look of the new windows, and the improved visibility. We are curious about changes to our utility bill. We are very happy with outcome."

"We’ve custom-built and remodeled homes on five occasions and from that perspective I give SES a solid thumbs up. They recently completed a kitchen renovation on our apartment and we are very happy with the outcome and the price paid. Perry’s estimate was detailed and specific and allowed us to complete the project as scoped for the price quoted — a first for us. The project progressed at an acceptable pace and SES coordinated well with the subs we selected ourselves for cabinets and countertops. As is the case with all builders, there were a few glitches and some of their crew were more skilled than others. Their demo crew, cabinet installer and tile guy were first-rate, their paint guys OK and their floor guy and cleaners not very good. SES addressed concerns related to the latter two with redos and fee reductions, respectively. They inadvertently disposed of $300 worth of cabinet lighting they were supposed to reuse, but they immediately agreed to replace it at their expense. Similarly, I had asked them repeatedly to provide me with copies of receipts for parking so I could get these reimbursed by the insurance company (the project was necessitated by water damage caused by our upstairs neighbor) but they neglected to do so and as a result offered to not charge us for parking (which HAD been included as a line item in their bid). Owner Shawn was very personable and responsive, and office manager Ashley was a pleasure to deal with, keeping things moving along and ensuring punch list items and other requests were addressed in a timely fashion. Communication generally was excellent. There were no times when anyone became difficult to work with, another first for us. I would gladly use SES again and I recommend them without reservation."

"Cody arrived on time, went to get the supplies needed to install my mailbox. Did a great job installing it, always confirming with me the placement and number installation. Did a great job cleaning up the area trying to get all of the area cleaned up including the street."

"There is no category to put Michael in. We hired him to paint and he wound up doing it all. Interior and exterior renovations and painting. He has a great eye for colors and even put hardy plank over the old stucco on our house. He made a column out of wood and stained it a beautiful dark, rich color to complement the creamed colored hardy plank. He customized our 8 x 24 pantry with wooden stained shelving, cabinets and closets. In the rest of the house he put shiplap on a couple of feature walls and painted the whole house. Very professional and reasonably priced. I will hire him again in the future for ANY other projects."
