Shopping for the right siding contractor can be compared to shopping for the right doctor. Who do I turn to? What can I get out of a yellow page ad? I want the best, how do I find him?
The same is true in siding contractors. I interviewed six contractors before one stood out from the rest. I found that each contractor believes they have the best product, best installers, at prices that are all over the board. I had heard it all until I met Jamie Papian.
Of the six contractors I met with, Jamie was the only one who was referred to me from another contractor bidding on the job. That is right, one of my bidders told me due to the height of my home, odd corners to cover, and other existing siding concerns he would use the best person he knew in siding, Jamie Papian.
The stage was set for this meeting. What would Jamie tell me that I hadn’t heard before? Plenty! Jamie cared enough about what was going on behind the siding that he was the only contractor in the group who wanted to remove the existing problem, not just cover it up. That proved to be the right call as many water issues were detected and repaired before they became larger structural issues years from now. Also, with the removal of the existing siding, my new siding would lay against the home like it should.
Jamie excelled in follow-up and follow through on every step of the process. I never felt like I was being sold anything!
Jamie’s installation team was fabulous. The team of 8 arrived early and stayed late. These guys were respectful of my property and my family needs. They worked in unison and appeared to have excellent communication between the group. I’m confident these characteristics lead to me receiving a much desired quality installation.
I wish you luck in finding the right siding contactor for your home. Or, remove all the luck and hire Custom Windows and Siding. You’ll be glad you did!
