We'd highly recommend Triangle Home Exteriors for siding replacement. We found them not by recommendation sites, but by looking at the James Hardie web site. Here's our experience.
1) We had to wait a few days for a proposal, which they presented in a Zoom. We discussed lots details including the method of construction, guarantees, options, things to be wary of, etc. That talk anticipated several questions we had. The proposal had a nice touch that stood out from the others we had gotten, several of which were fine in themselves.
2) The week after we signed, the work commenced. It went very fast, starting in a blitz of demo and siding replacement. The workers were courteous and quite cheerful. We had a goal for the deadline (a wedding party at our house) and the company met it. Start to finish the job was 4 weeks.
3) The project manager was _super responsive_ to our questions, and needs. All soffits, etc. and rotted wood around windows were replaced per the proposal. We added some items as work commenced, and that went seamlessly, with the project manager making extra visits to answer our questions, along with his regular visits. There were some scope changes (e.g. decaying floor inside a doorway, ceiling on front porch) that were replaced at extra charge.
4) Silent extras: 'Molding' at the top and bottom of columns they replaced; securing the optical cable for internet; also the PM saw that the garage door's anchoring had become loose (the door was unusable), and must have felt like he saw an animal in pain - he fixed it without being asked.
5) We mentioned a wedding above. We had a relative here who has worked in construction for 20+ years. He took it upon himself to examine portions of the work, and he went into some detail on installation, fitting, and sealing of the Hardie Plank siding. He had nothing but good things to say about the work.
Summary) The experience was very good. It is impossible to convey the good feeling that driving into the driveway and seeing the new-looking house gives. And the personal touch and 'extra mile' orientation of the project manager is a credit to the company. I must say we have never had this much construction done on any house, and if we have some future job, of a type that the company does not do, we would ask them for a recommendation.
Needless to say we recommend this company completely. read more
