Northstar's team just installed a metal roof on our 1910 residential house in Sellwood. 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.

Moss Busters are great! The folks I had communicated with throughout the process (Keaton and Drew)…read morewere awesome. As a new homeowner, I appreciated their knowledge and help. They were friendly, too! I highly recommend them and I will certainly be giving them my business in the future. I hired them to do roof cleaning, gutter cleaning and moss-prevention treatment. And to me, the price was fair and affordable. Again, I'm a new homeowner and this was the first time I ever had to do this... so even if what I paid was too much (I wouldn't know), I don't care because their stellar customer alone was worth every penny. Thanks, Moss Busters! I'll see you again in September!

The thing I like about Mossbusters is they don't just knock off the big pieces of moss from your…read moreroof and apply the moss inhibitor powder like the rest but they actually take care of 99% of the moss. When they finished the job, I could see only very tiny moss on my roof, but it was very very small. That's what sold me on them. You get immediate results after the cleaning rather than having to wait on the moss inhibitor powder from kicking months down the road. Having said that their prices were in line with 3 of 4 quotes I had gotten and I was able to call someone on the phone and ask several questions that they did a great job answering. The only issue I had was that they had to come back to my house two more times to get the job done right. The first time they had a miscommunication with my gutters that was stated in my quote but wasn't done, so they came back and did it. I managed to catch them where they weren't that far away. The second time, was because I requested it because they missed washing a gutter and the ends of my gutter on my dormer were not quite clean. I took pics and sent it to them for proof. They did call me back the next day and apologized and had someone come over in the afternoon to clean the missed gutters and double check all gutters. They did clean all the debris quite well, in fact it looked better than when they started. I really appreciated that. Roof looks great, gutters look great and I'm satisfied, however I was told I would get before and after pics and it's been a few days so far and I have not gotten any pics. I would use them again but definitely recommend double checking their work to make sure nothing was missed.

The inspector found several items that needed to be fixed, and Lucas agreed, commented about how good of an inspection it was, and promptly fixed the issues. We were satisfied. Now several months later I asked for an estimate on having gutters replaced. I provided the tenants information and we scheduled the estimate. Lucas never showed up, never called, and now I've called and text him 8+ times without a call back. The best I've gotten is a text saying "I'll call you back" Completely disappointed in his lack of communication and customer service.

He said his kids had removed it over the weekend. I offered my 36‑foot ladder so he could take a look. He leaned it against my gutter, which began to bend as he climbed, so I stopped him to prevent further damage. He said he would return the next day with a technician and proper equipment to fix the gutter and inspect the skylight. He never showed up. When I called the office, I was told he would call me back, which never happened. Overall, this was an unprofessional experience, and I would not recommend this company.

Avoid this company. Stalcup did a full teardown and put a…read morenew, 30 year warrantee, roof on in 2003. Within months of them having done this the roof started leaking around the chimney and, it was noted by a contractor doing a different project on my house, that the roofers had lifted the electric roof fan, disrupting the power but did not cap the live wires. When I called Stalcup about these concerns they sent 2 guys out to tar around the chimney and completely remove the fan (a decision not discussed with me) and patch the roof. More recently, in prep to put my house up for sale a pre-inspection check revealed the roof is prematurely at end of life. I called Stalcup to request that they honor the warrantee but they declined to do this instead, they sent a salesman to offer me a bid on a 50 year warrantee roof! There are too many reputable companies out there, do not risk your roof with Stalcup.

He built some fold up shelves for storing pellets which were OK, but instead of using the hooks and eyes we purchased he used bent nails as wall fasteners. Chuck also installed a couple of pieces of siding around mesh venting. This looks terrible, the mesh is wrinkled and could easily be pulled away from the house. He moved a PVC water line to allow for access from the porch. This was fine except he left the hose washers and pieces of PVC on the deck. He left the saw horses unfolded and sitting in the middle of the carport along with all of the saw dust from cutting the siding. In general his work was sloppy and he did not clean up after himself. In addition to the quality of his work he is overpriced. If you deal with him be sure to get a contract in writing.
