I sent multiple emails, text and voice messages in the past week with very little responses. And then when he did respond, he committed to come at 8am, emailed later that they were running behind and would be here by 10 am, and showed up just after 1 pm. The overall job was good but I had to call them to come get some branches they left behind. If it weren't for the lack of communication, I would have given them five stars.

But this time, Ben, the owner, came out to assess our situation and, instead of trying to sell us his services, he honestly told us that another type of service would be a better fit. He even referred us to someone who could help. That kind of integrity and professionalism is rare these days. It would have been easy to take the job, but he chose to do what was best for us instead. His honesty, selflessness, and genuine concern for his customers left a lasting impression. If you're looking for someone you can trust, Samsara Tree Service is the company to call.

They did…read moresome siding, added some insulation in the attic and other work to give our house a nice upgrade. We decided to invest in a metal roof for its strength, good look, and longevity. And it can be recycled at the end of its life - that seems better than throwing asphalt shingles into a landfill. Northstar's team was comprised of good people with great skills who work together well. The price was reasonable and they had good references. Highly recommend.

I have to admit, I was a little hesitant when I received Northstar's bid. They were scheduling work…read morewhen other metal siding contractors were declining jobs for the rest of the year. Was their availability a bad sign? What was I missing? I'm so glad that I decided to check Northstar's references (glowing) and move forward. They were awesome! Their install team was professional and courteous, from repairing my home's sheathing and installing the house wrap, to interacting with the windows contractor and installing the siding. They clearly had experience installing the product (Metallion's seamless siding). (Example: They were able to disguise a 4" discrepancy in elevation between one corner of the house and an adjacent corner 30' away. Wow!) Most importantly, they were polite and accommodating to my many questions and requests. They even threw in some extra work at cost. We are delighted with the end result. We regularly receive compliments on how our house looks. We are thrilled to have new siding that never needs a drop of paint, a fact that offsets the higher materials cost than cement board. (Speaking of 'offsetting,' the siding manufacturer (SteelScape, in WA) operates on hydroelectric power, and the siding is recyclable at end of life. If you're replacing your siding, consider the material's entire lifecycle.) I would recommend NorthStar Restorations without hesitation. If you can get on their schedules, count yourself lucky. PS - If you're removing your old siding, this is the time to insulate your home. Ask Northstar to install 1" foam board onto your home's sheathing. This will help to prevent thermal bridging. The foam board increased the project cost about 20%: well worth it to increase comfort all year 'round. While you're at it, have NW Weatherization dense pack cellulose into your stud bays -- dense pack cost another 10%. Now our walls are a true R-18 -- no penalty for heat loss through the framing. Reading: "Thermal Bridging" by Martin Holladay in Fine Homebuilding, 2010 "Calculating the Minimum Thickness of Rigid Foam Sheathing" - Green Building Advisor (October 2010) "Fiberglass versus Cellulose - GreenBuildingAdvisor (March 2012) "Comparing Exterior Wall Finishes Using Life-Cycle Assessment," 7th International Building Physics Conference, IBPC2018 PPS - Three details if I could do the project over again: I would have insisted on house wrap and foam board that was not a vapor barrier (limited materials choices in late 2021). I would have laid 6' of weed mat around the house and landscaping, to pick up errant shavings of siding scrap at the very end. I would have negotiated a round of touch-up work. Small bare patches, where the color coating gets scratched off during installation, seem unavoidable.

I was happy to find out that his company also provides many other construction services and will be happy to hire him again.

That was only a few days ago and he hasn't completed the work yet, but the fact that he didn't try to sell me on new expensive gutters, or convince me that I needed to buy anything from Ironclad Gutters makes me feel I can trust him.
