What do you do when your 85 year old rental property in Milwaukee needs new siding, windows and doors and you are trying to get it done remotely from Chicago?
Well that was just the question I was trying to answer when I found Kettle Moraine Exteriors on a recommendation of a friend.
This company is top notch. They came when they said they would to meet me and do the estimate. They saw additional structural problems and sent out an engineer to engage and solve the problem. They offered up solutions along the way and kept me informed at all junctures. They knew with an old house that it's the details that make the difference- and they worked to keep those details intact where they could.
As with any old home project- this was not without issue. Once the old siding was off it was apparent that the house needed blown in insulation. They subcontracted and got it taken care of that day. In fact- they acted like the general contractor on a job that could have been "just a siding" job as they took care of the new storm windows, doors and even worked to get some period specific lighting installed on the porch. All the while working to not disturb my tenants unduly which was also nice.
I can't say enough about how great my "old lady" of a house looks with all her new siding, doors and storm windows. And what a relief to work with such a reputable company that came in on time, on budget and took the hassle away from me. Now that's my kind of company! read more
