Highly recommended! I chose 3 Generations Improvements for a siding project based on the reviews here on Yelp and I was not disappointed! I met with Kurt for the initial estimate and he was great in pointing out the kind of work that needed to be done and took the time to answer all of my questions. Once I made the decision to go with 3 Generations, I started working with Jeremy who went the extra mile to meet me at my work to sign the paperwork and select the type of siding for the house. We signed the paperwork in the late Fall, which is a busy time for them but Jeremy was always up front with their estimated timing, which I really appreciated. Once the work started, the job was completed pretty quickly. Again, Jeremy and his crew were very communicative and kept me updated on the status of the work until it was done. They also fixed some plywood dry rot and installed new plywood as well as correcting some roof deck problems in addition to all of the siding replacement. I've included some pictures the old siding, which was cracked and loose as well some pictures of the new siding to show the improvement. From my experience, I would recommend 3 Generations Improvements for any siding or repair work you may need! read more

3 Generations did a great job on the siding for our house. We received a total of 3 bids and felt the best about 3 Generations. We felt very comfortable with Kurt who came out and meet with us and also the price was very fair. We had a very old shake siding that was starting to dry rot and fall off the house. We could not go another winter without getting it taken care of. Kurt presented us with two options. He let us know about Hardy Siding and LP Smart Siding. Both great options but we decided to go with Hardy Siding which was a bit more expensive but not by much. Their crew was great. David was the lead installer on the job, he was very professional and accommodating to any questions we may have had. If he saw something that he wasn't sure about i.e. wires all over the place, he asked me first before doing anything. When the house was finished it looked like a new house, it turned out great. I would highly recommend getting in contact with 3 Generations for any siding needs you may have. read more

From start to finish, 3G Improvements delivered top-notch craftsmanship from the construction team combined with a management team that communicated clearly, and remains responsive long after the project itself wrapped up. Professional, reliable, and genuinely easy to work with - we highly recommend them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

We called upon 3 Generations Improvements to replace our siding and insulate our house. We got quotes from a few different companies, and while 3 Generations wasn't the lowest bid, they were competitive, but Kurt took the time to explain a number of things I hadn't considered initially. Their proposal was very professional and detailed, listing what was to be done for each part of the job. They got to work pretty quickly after we came to an agreement and I was really impressed with David and his crew. They were sure to let me know when they would be there each day, and let me know when they found issues (and there were more than a few with our old house). They ended up fixing a number of problems with the woodwork around the house that I hadn't noticed how bad they were until they were exposed. The team worked through the holiday season and finished the job faster than we expected, which was really great. In the end I believe they provided excellent value that I would not have gotten from another firm. read more

You can't go wrong choosing 3 Generations Improvements. This family-owned business really cares for its clients like family. They are true experts at the work they do and my newly-resided house shows it. Neighbors have told me we now have the best-looking house in the neighborhood! Kurt takes the time to answer questions, and his crew do excellent work. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

5+ stars for owner Kurt Owen and his crew of 3 Generations Improvements! We wanted to upgrade our home to make it more wildfire-resistant, in addition to addressing some general repairs. We obtained several bids, and we're happy that we selected 3GI, whose price was not only competitive but also their workmanship was excellent. Kurt's proposal and additional recommendations for repairs during the project were spot on. 3GI upgraded our siding from T1-11 plywood to James Hardie Board, enclosed our eaves with Hardie Board and Vulcan vents, replaced our fascia vents with Vulcan vents, and foundation vents with Wildfire Defense Mesh. We also replaced our windows with Milgard Trinsic and performed other repairs on our 30-40-year-old home. They worked diligently, pleasantly, thoroughly, and we always felt they had our best interests in mind. Kurt is honest and knows his craft. We highly recommend 3GI. read more

This review is woefully late, unlike 3 Generations who showed up everyday on time, and ready to work. Our work was done in late 2019. We invited 3 crews to bid, Jeremy and crew made the best impression. Both the professionalism, and cost were winning factors. We elected to have plywood installed in areas where the builder had not, the entire home wrapped in Tyvek, R2 foil/foam insulation installed, and then the siding. We've noticed a HUGE difference in home comfort and energy usage during the hot summer. The subs for the rock work were efficient as well, and were on time. Start to finish, the job was about 2 weeks. I would strongly recommend them for your siding job. read more

10/10 would recommend to anyone. Kurt and his team did a beautiful job fully siding and replacing all of the windows in our 2 story home. The quality of the work and the attitude of the team are what sets this business apart. Highlights: - Quality and thoroughness of the work: All of the boards are perfectly cut and fitted together, caulking is smooth and even, and the job site was fully cleaned each day. Neighbors and other contractors have even commented on what a great job they did. - Price and professionalism: We got multiple bids and 3G was priced very reasonably compared to the competition, and honestly even a little less expensive since we coupled the windows and siding into a single job. Additionally, Kurt was super responsive and very kind in helping us make decisions as a first-time homeowners. The crew was outstanding, they were very respectful, friendly, and obviously worked really hard each day. Overall, a really great experience with this company. read more

3G is definitely not the cheapest siding and windows contractor, but if you want a job done right with excellent attention to detail, they are your vendor. We had our entire home's siding replaced along with a dozen or so leaky windows. We opted not to do patch work because there was significant damage and dry rot across the entire house, both externally and behind the siding. 3G had completed jobs for similar houses in our community, and they came highly recommended to me. 3G was responsive throughout the entire project, patiently taking the time to answers all of my (probably OCD!) questions in person, via phone, and even text, all before spending a dime. Once engaged, they managed the project very well in spite of COVID and delivered on everything they said they would. As an indicator of their integrity, they respected all of the original pricing (estimated in February 2020) for our project in spite of increased labor and material costs they had to absorb as a result of COVID delays and impacts. I'm now confident and comfortable that I will never have to worry about leaks through my siding and windows again, at least not for the next 30 years! 3G warrants their workmanship and materials and I feel fully confident they will not only survive this tough economic time, but respect and fix any issues that may arise. read more

3G Is by far the best contractor I worked with. From the start (quote) to the finish of the job (completely replacing siding and 11 windows on a 1500sqft house), 3G did an outstanding job. Every single member of the team was professional. I'm not the easiest customer due to high standards and attention to detail, but 3G team was able to deliver exceptional results and address all my concerns and 1000 questions in a process. It was very easy and pleasant to work with Logan and Alex. Worth mentioning that 1.5 years after job completion, I had an issue with a sliding door and a window (Covered under the windows manufacturer's warranty). Logan helped to submit a claim and got it replaced. I'd recommend 3G for everyone who values time and high quality. read more

The crew at 3 generations home improvements did an outstanding job on our siding and windows. It's sealed up tight and clean. Other improvement vendors have also taken notice and commented on how amazing it looks too. We're very happy with it and would use them again!! read more

This review is overdue. It took us about two years to work up to this job but really glad we did and glad we went with 3G. Their prices are competitive and their work is quality. We were impressed by Alex and crew throughout the process and Logan was always in touch and available to answer questions along the way. Our house was transformed and most importantly, the work was done so that all rot was removed and everything was sealed up. We had other quotes from companies that wanted to apply new siding directly over the old material, essentially sealing in the rot. No good. I really cant say enough about this company, we will be asking them for a quote on a rental house in the Bay Area soon. Top notch all the way read more

My wife and I really wanted to paint our house that we bought several years ago. Upon looking around the house, there were several areas of dry rot that needed to be replaced. My father in law who is a retired contractor informed us it was thousand of dollars worth of work to be done prior to being able to paint. So went went on the hunt to find a company to replace the siding on the entire house. We had a couple of consultations from a few private contractors as well as Home Depot. 3Generations came to our house and did a walk around. The owner Kurt was very nice and professional. He printed out some areas we hadn't noticed and asked us what we wanted done. We ended up choosing to do siding (James Hardie fiber cement) gutters, inside window trim, a garage door and some reconfiguration of the front. After a few days, Kurt came back with the proposals and samples. They came in 35% lower than Home Depot, and did much more work. Total project took about 3 weeks to complete. Kurt's crew consisted of 3 guys, Eugene, Elija, and Mark. They were very professional and excellent craftsmen. The work that was done was beautiful. They transformed our house from the ugly ducking on the street to the beautiful swan that all our neighbors are jealous of. I would highly recommend 3G to anyone wanting to make the investment into beautifying their home. read more

This company is hands down the most professional and hands on I've worked with in a long time. From Logan coming to measure, then submit the bid, to the actual job. It was perfect. I have not one single complaint. The crew worked like a fine oiled machine. All working in unison. Never forgetting any detail. We had people slow down to watch. We had neighbors coming by telling us how beautiful our home looked. We had such a sad looking exterior. Now it's the gem in our neighborhood. One neighbor even thanked us for bringing up the property values for our street! Thank you Logan. David was amazing as well. Very good work ethic! read more

My husband and I are very happy with 3Generations. Our house looks so good, it looks like a new house. The knowledge, professionalism, competitive price and the work speaks volumes. Everyone from Mike who made sure everything went well, to the construction guys were great. The guys worked Super fast and the work was the best. My husband and I are so happy we chose 3G. 3Generations is highly recommended. read more

Logan from 3 Generations was a courteous and responsive communicator. Their estimate was more affordable than some and more thorough than any of the other siding contractors. The siding material was ready sooner than they has expected, so they were able to begin the job ahead of the target date. There were a few adjustments along the way, which Logan handled graciously. The $500 Yelp rebate helped too! read more

We bought a putty-colored house; let's be honest, it was ugly. Knew the old siding would have to be replaced, but thought we had a couple of years -- until rainwater started dripping into the master bathroom and guest bedroom. 3G came and did an amazing job for us in early 2017. Kurt gave us a lot of insight about water damage, materials etc and even let us use his special camera to check around in the attic for roof leaks. They helped us find and fix dry rot issues, deal with water damage, and more. Our experience was very much like many other positive reviews here, but let me add one telling detail. This year we discovered that there was a problem involving the new siding near the dryer exhaust vent. Obviously it wasn't a huge issue (because it took a year to realize it) but it did need to be fixed. I emailed 3G on a Friday, they replied immediately, and the very next day - on the weekend! - our crew chief Vadym drove out and cheerfully fixed the problem in about 15 minutes. That's a level of commitment and service that's very hard to find these days! I recommend 3G very highly. A business with great integrity as well as skill. read more

We just completed having new siding installed on our entire house. We were prepared for the prolonged inconvenience but the process went much quicker than anticipated. We had initially considered having only spot repairs to our siding but ultimately decided to do the entire house. After estimates from several different companies we chose 3 Generations and are we happy we did. We picked prepainted Hardy siding along with the appropriate Hardy trim. Alex and his crew did a fantastic job. They were here every day as promised, worked their tails off and cleaned up everything before leaving each night. The job was completed last week but not before our workers finished every last detail of the job. We have had so many compliments from neighbors and we could not be happier with the job that 3G did. And the best thing is that we will not have to worry about painting our house for a long time as the preprinted siding comes with an extended warranty. We would recommend 3G to anyone asking us about siding their home. read more

We had Jeremy Owens and the 3 Generations team put in all new windows (14) in our home and polymer siding on the West and South sides of our 2050 sq, ft, home in 2010. Nine years later it all looks like it was just installed. We just had them come back and put siding on the front (North) side of our home and wrap the roof gables. They have a great team that pays attention to detail and completed the job in a timely manner with excellent results. They went above and beyond our expectations. We would recommend them to anyone looking for excellent work at a reasonable price. Michael and Candy B. read more

Super happy with our experience and siding. All the work was completed in a week on our 2000 square foot house. The workers were knowledgeable and respectful and now we have a even more beautiful home to enjoy! Thanks again guys! Great work!! read more

An easy company to recommend for siding and windows. That is their area of specialty, and I'm not sure if they even do anything else. They are located in Folsom, but had no issue traveling to work on our home in Oakland. Although the company name is 3 Generations because it was started by the grandfather, it actually is operated now by the father, Kurt Owens, and his son, Jeremy. Both are stand up guys. We had them remove our old original siding from 1947, re-bolt our foundation while the walls were open, add insulation (what an improvement), sheerwall (i.e. add OSB/plywood to create greater structural stability and also a flat surface for the siding), a moisture protection barrier, Hardieplank cement fiber siding that was manufactured to match the color or our house (a 15 year warranty on not needing to paint, and a 30 year warranty on the siding itself), and added or replaced 11 windows with Milgard Essence Low-E, double pane windows (warrantied for life). We received 3 bids. One company you'll find good reviews for too was about $20k (!) higher; word on the street is they sub all their work out, but got greedy and have high mark-up to get a substantial profit after paying the sub. The other company was about the same price as 3G, but primarily did roofing. I also have a window/glass guy, but he doesn't do siding. I ultimately was swayed by the fact that siding and windows is what 3G is licensed for and it's all they do. It shows. Their attention to detail and wealth of experience was evident throughout the project. Two of the other contractors mentioned above and with whom I have ongoing relationships, came by our house for other matters during the project and each were SUPER complimentary of the work being done, downright admiring certain details and telling me that, though they'd like the work, they each felt we made the right decision as the work done was clearly very professional. Kurt and Jeremy also were very responsive to my many calls and emails about various details and follow up on every open item. Their crew was outstanding and clearly could build a home from scratch if asked. We'll definitely have them return to replace some additional windows and do more siding on other parts of our house. As noted at the outset, these guys are easy to recommend. read more

Firstly, I don't like writing negative reviews but hopefully some people will find this useful. We used 3 Generations to install 6 windows, a sliding glass door, a French door and LP Smartside trim and siding. They had good reviews here on Yelp and they are a recommended installer by LP Corporation. The sales guy, Mike, seemed knowledgeable and very detail oriented. The work started on time and was going well until we noticed the new French door was smaller than our original French door. There was some discussion. They claimed it was correctly sized, we said no. Finally they said they would order a new door, but before doing so they offered us $500 off if we used the door as is. We said no, we wanted a new door that was the same size as the original door. So they ordered a new door, at their cost, which delayed the project by about 3 weeks as the new door was being made. After the new door was installed and the siding completed, I noticed a spot where the bottom of the siding was touching our brick patio. This didn't seem right. So I asked Mike about it and he said he's not worried about it since there is good drainage there. Hmmm. Just to check I contacted LP Corporation to verify. They said no. There should be a 1" minimum clearance between the siding and any un-flashed masonry. They also said if the siding is not installed according to their application instructions the warranty is void. By coincidence the city inspector came by the next day to do the final inspection. The inspection failed due to the siding touching the ground (masonry) and it also needed flashing above the window/door trim. Hmmm. At this point I downloaded and read through the LP Smartside application instructions. My best guess is that 3 Generations has never read these, because if they had, they would have installed the siding with the proper clearances and window trim flashing. Either that or they just ignored them which makes no sense since it would never pass inspection. Anyway, in reading through the application instructions I found several other issues with the siding installation. I pointed these out to Mike and he said he would take care of it. So after a day of fairly extensive rework they finished and it passed city inspection. But it still didn't meet LP Smartside requirements. I pointed these out to Mike. I think he had enough at this point, and he stopped returning my emails. I had enough too. Eventually we did get an email from Kurt, one of the owners of 3 Generations, he admitted mistakes were made and if I would take pictures and mark the things that needed to be fixed they would fix them. Hold on, so now I'm supposed to inspect their work and show them where they screwed up? They should be the ones to inspect it, but I guess they just can't be bothered to inspect their own work. I told Kurt to just go away. I ended up fixing the remaining bad clearances, missing caulk, missing nails, missing sealer, etc. Just yesterday I noticed that the trim piece above the right window is 4 1/2" and the trim above the left window is 4". Sigh... So beware, 3 Generations talks a good talk, but when it comes down to it they don't install things according to the manufacturer guidelines, inspect their own work, or correctly fix their mistakes. read more

3G finished our siding/window project this week. They replaced exterior sidings, fixed dry rots, and installed double paned windows. Kurt stopped by a couple of times during project period(he came to us in Fremont from Sacramento!) to answer questions and monitor project progress. Jeremy was also very responsive to our emails when we had requests. Serge is a nice/patient person and did a fantastic job on the actual work. The overall work is excellent. read more

3 Generations installed the siding as well as the soffit and fascia wrap on our home. Vadim and his crew are amazing artisans who take pride in their work and are true professionals. Logan is fantastic to work with and is very patient and responsive to any questions. 3 Generations should be your first and last call. read more

We had the pleasure of working with 3 Generations Improvements. From our first meeting with Jeremy, we were sold. He is knowledgeable, easy to talk to & the products that were being offered, were all superior. We went with the LP Smart Siding, Soffits & Trim. The first day arrived, we met with Vadym & his team along with Project Manager Jeremy & Mike. They are all great men, friendly, professional & talented Master Craftsmen. The final day arrived. We are so beyond happy, our home is beautiful. We love it & we are thankful of how professional & smooth our 2 week home improvement project went. We highly recommend 3 Generations, from start to finish, it was a great experience. We watch the whole process and it was reassuring to see the attention to every detail they addressed even if that detail was under all the siding & no one would see... It was still done perfectly. Thanks 3 Generations!!! read more

With much trepidation we contacted 3 Generations about residing our home. We had been warned that what we might find under the original siding may be bigger than what we would want to deal with. But because of reaccuring leaks coming through 30 year old siding, we needed to move forward. We had 3 Generations and other companies out to discuss the project and we came back to 3 Generations to do the work because 1. They were very professional and extremely knowledgable about what might be lurking under the original siding, 2. Willing to work with us regarding decks that needed to be rebuilt at the same time, providing referrals and giving us advice on how to prioritize them with this project. 3. Were able to knowledgably address our windows which in the end, all needed to be replaced. Their estimate was clear, fair, and once we kicked off the project they were our partner throughout the entire ordeal (including mushrooms growing in the wood under our siding). We live on the Napa river and the homes here are very exposed to weather and lots of water. The team that Kurt orgainzed to work on the siding, windows, decks and everything else on the outside that had dissolved away over the years and needed to be fixed, were great. This turned into a 6 week project but we are soooo happy with the final result. As the cost of the project went up and up and up, Kurt with 3 Generations worked to help consolidate costs, give bulk discounting and everything else within his power to help our dollar go further and to get this project finished in the way it needed to be (and frankly we had committed to once the project began). They were professional and empathetic all along the way. If I had to do it all again, I wouldn't hesitate to have them lead it all over again. We are out on Milton Rd in Napa if you ever want to drive by and see their great work! Everyone who walks by tell me the place looks amazing. read more

This company did our entire siding, trim and all of our windows of our home and garage with Hardiplank as well as the trim material. (Not all siding companies do this-because it is harder to work with than wood trim).They also did repairs on the dry rot and redid our railing for the unit we have above the garage. I had spoken to several contractors and was impressed with Jeremy's knowledge and presentation. Between Jeremy and his dad Kurt, they checked on the progress several times. Their attention to detail and quality of work and products is outstanding. Their team that did the siding and windows on our home--I can't say enough wonderful things about them. I highly recommend this company. read more

This is not the first time we have used 3G. They started by helping us out with a dryrot problem a few years ago that including reskinning the chimney and two sides of the house with Hardiboard. That went so well, and we were so pleased with everything that we called them back out to a couple of years later to do the other two sides of the house in Hardiboard. We have been in the same house for 34 years and done a lot of work, and worked with a lot of contractors over the years. But 3G is heads and above the best we have ever dealt with on any project. Their prices are reasonable (not the cheapest and not the highest either), the quality of their work is outstanding. Now people use words like outstanding, fantastic, and others a lot. Let me explain what I mean by outstanding: - The workmanship is neat, clean, everything fits as it should, there are no gaps or cracks ANYWHERE. - The are the neatest, cleanest group I have ever seen. They clean up at the end of each day and they even sweep up their mess, each day. - When the project is done, they go over every little detail with you and make sure you are happy with the job. - The project managers, and the carpenters treat you like you are the only customer in the world. - In every aspect, they go above and meet and exceed all expectations. All that said, I will not call anyone but 3G to work on my house. If you need work done on your home, call 3G first, it will save you a lot of time, money, and hassle. read more

Awesome company for siding. They will work with you and get the job done correctly. Very impressed by Logan and Vadim and their crew. This is the kind of company that will come out, and fix anything that needs to be fixed. They will not take your money and leave you hanging. I would hire them again. We had 29 windows replaced, and our entire siding done (hardee). Great company. read more

Kurt and his team are very professional and thorough! We are very pleased with the new siding they put up and windows they installed and are very happy with how our house looks now. The project was comlpleted in a very timely manner as well! We would definitely recommend 3 Generations for any of your siding needs! read more

First said, as clients, we are extremely detail oriented and have had extensive experience with contractors on major projects (multiple houses) over the past thirty years. Our recent experience with 3G Home Improvements to replace the siding of our home in Foster City, install new gutters, and paint the eaves was the smoothest construction project that we have ever had. Initially, we interviewed multiple contractors. Kurt Owens of 3G stood out for his very professional attitude, his thorough analysis, and detailed explanations of the various options to consider. He pointed out a number of areas that needed special consideration. We were very impressed with his knowledge of the various products and the specifications for their installation. It took several in person meetings to firm up the details of the project. Vladimir, the head of the 3G construction crew, is a master craftsman. The finished work that he and his team did on this job is superior to any other similar project that we have seen in the Bay Area. He checked in each morning to see if there were any issues to discuss from the previous day and quickly resolved any item that we pointed out. All workers were respectful and diligent. We were on site the entire ten days that the project was in process although it became apparent that our presence was not requisite to insure a superior result. There was excellent communication with Jeremy Owens and Logan Smith at the office. Logan's follow up even after the project was finished has been outstanding. Clearly, he is responsive and focused on customer satisfaction. Our experience with 3G Improvements was beyond our expectations. The years of experience and the dedication to providing a top quality job confirmed the reputation of this company. We recommend 3G Improvements without reservation. read more

I had a wonderful experience with 3 Generations Improvements. I had 3 different contractors out to quote the job and while the quote from 3G was not the least expensive, it was the most expansive. It was due to their honesty that I chose to go with them for the project. I had them remove and replace the old siding on several walls of my home, in addition to replacing the deck and installing all new windows and a slider in the house. Kurt, Jeremy and primarily Logan were extremely responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the quoting, work and final walk through process and answered every question I had (I assure you, there were many!) I never doubted that they had my best interest at heart, and trusted their input immensely. I cannot recommend them enough, they are extremely knowledgeable, the quality of work is wonderful, and the final product looks incredible. Thank you again for doing such a wonderful job! read more

Jeremy and team replaced our old sliding glass door and did an amazing job. They went above and beyond what others had offered to do. They actually understood the complications of working with stucco exteriors and the fact that they are prone to leaking if the paper isn't replaced properly. They peeled back the stucco all around the door and did a great job of matching the existing stucco and paint. You can't tell at all that there is any new stucco and the new door is beautiful. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again! read more

Wanted a contractor that did both siding and window installations. After looking at different types of siding we decided on LP Smartside over Hardie. Contractors that are basically certified to install LP Smartside or Hardie are difficult to find. After speaking with a couple of contractors I was lead to a rep of LP Smartside for 35 years and he recommended 3Generations Improvements in Sacramento area. Since we lived in the east bay I was somewhat skeptical of having a contractor send crews from that distance. This turned out to be not an issue at all. Kurt Owens the owner and a gentleman for sure came by the same day I contacted the company. He was already on the job in another Bay Area city. This was a surprise because of the quick response! My wife and I went over what we had in mind for new siding and windows with Kurt. He seemed very knowledgeable about the siding we wanted and although we wanted Anlin windows we ended up with Alside. Time will tell if this was a good choice. I know from a cost standpoint it was. We purchased ten new Mezzo windows, 3 with grids one we had to have changed because it was built with the incorrect grid pattern we wanted. We also decided to install new gutters. All work went smooth with Vadim (sp) as the construction lead. They did produce a lot of saw dust so watch out for that. Kurt made us feel at ease during the whole process. Always if an issue came up with Vadim he had an answer from Kurt immediately. We could feel the sincerity of Kurt knowing this work was important to us and the assurance that 3Generations always wanted for us to be ABSOLUTELY happy with the work they would do! And it was. The work was done cleanly and on time. The crew never stopped working except to eat. Tremendous work ethic. Can't say enough about the crew and Kurt, and all at 3G,s read more

3Generations completed a major home improvement for my home during the summer of 2017, and I am absolutely delighted to provide this review because they deserve the highest accolades. If you want stress relief, hire 3Generations. If you want trusted professionals, hire 3Generations. They know what they are doing and will exceed your expectations. My home is a standard builder grade production home, about 25 years old and was decaying from hidden and obvious dry rot of the wood siding, trim, and window sills. The windows had failed and provided no thermal benefit. The gutters were rusted out. Over the years I tried to remedy things with painting and cutting out and replacing dry rot in obvious spots, but conditions ultimately got worse. Truth be told, these building failures could have been prevented if the original builder had done all the right things in the beginning, but there is little evidence that this builder cared about how to make buildings last. Years later, I had the problem of fixing major problems. This was not a small fix and I knew it was going to cost a lot to get a fix that lasted. It had to be done right. I wanted someone who understood weather proofing from a building science perspective, not just a window installer or siding guy who could make things look good. I wanted someone who looked at a house as a system, as an assembly of integrated parts where you have to understand how the materials and layers work together to prevent rainwater entry and to provide for drying. Homes get a lot of stress, particularly claddings (siding) and trim with rains and sun, temperature swings and ultra violet radiation. You want things to last and look good using modern sheathings in a properly insulated wall assembly. I got all I wanted and more. This is the best investment I could have made and I feel good about it. From start to finish, I worked with Kurt Owens, President of this family business and his son, Jeremy. I had difficulty blocking the time to schedule the job and they were flexible in working with me. Kurt explained everything in detail and made sure I understood why I needed to do more than just replace a window or cut out some dry rot. He proposed the siding and windows to fit my needs for quality, durability and attractiveness with consideration for my budget. I took his suggestions and am completely satisfied! He said the job would take 2 weeks and it did: on time, on schedule, within budget. No overruns! His communication and follow-up with me was beyond my expectations. The 3G's crew were remarkable on site. They worked like a well oiled machine: fast, collaborative, no mistakes. They had all the tools and materials needed on the job site and worked from 8-5, non-stop. Vladimir, the crew supervisor, is a skilled craftsman and conscientious, motivating team leader. They cleaned up the job site at the end of every day. Watching them working together was like watching a ballet. My neighbors were so impressed that they stood around and simply watched - - amazed. No one had ever seen this kind of workmanship before. The finished job not only makes my house beautiful but it also makes it feel more comfortable. It is quieter inside and the house feels tighter than before. I expect my heating bills will go down this winter and my air conditioning bills have already receded. In fact during one of our unusual over 100 degree days this past summer, I didn't have to turn the air conditioning on until 5:00 PM. I was sorry to see the job complete because I loved having this team at my home. Working with 3Generations was a sincere pleasure! This is a contractor you can trust for integrity and the highest quality standards whether it's product knowledge, installation, trade excellence, customer care, fairness, follow-through or communication. In the end, they did a final inspection and took me around the house to show me the details that make a difference. Pride in workmanship was evident. I highly recommend this company, their people and suppliers without any reservations. Do not hesitate to engage their services. read more

We live in Petaluma, CA and had 3-Gen redo our siding and windows last summer. All I can say I is wow, we had a great experience working with this company and they really care about their business and their name. All phone calls and emails were returned promptly and they took a good amount of time explaining everything to us. When they first came out to look at our home, Kurt gave us some suggestions to improve insulation and energy efficiency. We have been in our home for 24 years and up until this past year our downstairs would get so cold in the winter. Well, after the new insulation, siding, and windows it's like having a new house! Our nights can dip into the 30's but even when the heat is off overnight the house has not dipped below 61. The sidIng and new windows look beautiful. The design, color scheme, and professional work makes the house look amazing. I would highly recommend this company. read more

I wish it were possible to give 3 Generations Improvements a 10-STAR rating!!! From my first contact with their office, to my meeting with Kurt Owens to get an estimate, to watching the crew transform our old clubhouse into a beautiful structure, I am beyond 100% satisfied with every aspect of our project! I cannot say enough good things about this company, and will continue to recommend them every chance I get. Thank you so much for a job well done! read more

These guys did our entire siding. They took down all the existing siding, checked our studs for rot, and added insulation, put in 2 new windows and re-seated all the other windows which had been badly installed by our handyman, and put on a beautiful new James Hardy siding. They provided really great service the entire time, and we were well connected to Kurt, Logan, and Jeremy the whole way through. We also really appreciate the high quality staff and the ability to work with such professional contractors all around. I wish I had another house so that I could have them do more work for us. I would recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area looking for excellent work and service. read more
