First Rate Siding and Window Experts

David and his team replaced our siding for the whole house, replaced some windows and replaced some pieces of the other windows to save us some money. Almost 5 years passed, Our sidings are still looks the same(pretty and solid). Both my right side and left side neighbors have replaced their sidings. But none of them looks as good as ours. We are very satisfied with the work David has done for us. I am working from home often now, the picture windows David helped me picked and installed are perfect for me to enjoy the views everyday while I am working-:) David was very patient and he provided several solutions for me depending on my budgets. He will explain the Pros and Cons for each solutions. You can trust him 100%. Give him a call and you won't be disappointed. He is a keeper.

First Rate replaced siding on my house and painted the exterior. I am super happy and highly recommend David and his crews. The initial meeting, estimation, and contract phase were not only all very pleasant but David had the best price as well of the 3 estimates I got. It was clear from talking with David on the phone and in person that he is very easy and very forthcoming to work with, and he and his team are also very experienced with James Hardie and their best practices. I had a sense that I was getting a great price without losing any quality in materials or workmanship. Everything was done on budget and we were not charged anything extra. The siding work was done by a team of 3 led by Walter. They were awesome. We have a big house and they worked on it for almost 2 full weeks but we appreciated a small crew of diligent craftsmen and did not mind that it took longer than what maybe a larger crew might have taken. This was also peak summer with temps routinely above 90 degrees. We enjoyed getting to know them, and I made sure they had ice water morning and afternoon. We also made smoothies or bought ice cream bars for them to enjoy with their lunch. They were very appreciative of the gesture, and always humble about it. Things went of without a hitch - we did not have any interruption in wifi, ac, etc wiring/equipment for all of which was either on or near the old siding, they worked around our trees, plants, bushes that were also very near to the siding (Walter even trimmed a tree branch that was encroaching onto the roof!), we have two (friendly) dogs that occasionally needed to use the yard while they were working there, and of course the siding replacement and cleanup was all done very well. They also did all the coordination with the dumpster guy as well, and First Rate insists on having dumpsters with wheels which are easier on the driveway - as a result we had a medium one first and then a small one. David was always very upfront about everything, and one of the first things he told me is that on the painting he may not be the cheapest. However, seeing the quality of work from his other crew and the fact that David quoted Sherwin Williams Duration paint versus the less expensive one, I was happy to pay extra for a known entity. There were only a couple of minor issues (door frame was painted with the wrong color) and some window trim needed touching up - all of these were promptly addressed by John and his crew. We are very happy with the quality of the work and how our house looks, and feel happy to have found First Rate siding to take care of this major maintenance work for us.

They did an excellent job. They were very customer friendly during the entire project. I would highly recommend them again.

I highly recommend First Rate Siding. David and his crew completed a high quality siding job for a fair price. They over-delivered and communicated with me every step if the way. I couldn't be happier with the experience and final product!

They did an excellent job in a timely manner. Easy to work and delivered a high quality result.

I am an engineer and having my siding redone according to James Hardie specifications was very important to me. There are so many contractors out there that do their own thing - causing huge problems down the road. When I met with contractors I asked them tough James Hardie questions - it was all a test (as I secretly knew the answers to my questions myself as I had studied the specs very well). I was deeply impressed with David's answers and knowledge of James Hardie specs and his quest to always stick to their standards. We hired First Rate Siding and was assigned a team headed up by Walter - what a wonderful man (always happy, hard working and attentive). They did a tremendous job (and I don't say this lightly as I have an eagle eye for details). What deeply impressed my wife and me was the fact that David came often to our home to inspect the work (he didn't simply disappear after the sale). David offered up true quality time, with both my wife and I as well as with Walter and his team. He spent hours standing at the job , inspecting, liaising, communicating, advising. Wow! How refreshing! David has tremendous architectural and design experience - ask him questions - he's full of solid, good knowledge. My wife and I were so happy with all the work. But... still I was a little tough... I held back from offering up this review for over a year. I wanted the new siding job to experience every season before sharing how thrilled we were. And now, over a year later, our siding still looks amazing. Use David! He's good. Very good.

We worked with First Rate Siding and Windows to remove all of the stucco and old siding from our home and replace with Hardie siding and also replace all of the windows on our home. David and his crew were easy to work with, communicated quickly and efficiently to resolve any questions, and took their time to give us an excellent product. Several of our neighbors commented to us during the process how meticulous the crew seemed to be with their work and we observed that as well. We are very happy with the final product.

First Rate exceeded our expectations in every step of the project from consultation in the choice of products through delivery, installation and clean up. All deadlines and budgets were met. Crews were efficient, professional and respectful of our property. We could not be happier! It's like a new house!

After consulting receiving bits from three contract vendors, I decided to accept the siding, fascia board and corner board replacements proposal. This project proposal from First Rate Siding also included painting of the James Hardie plank siding. In addition to the siding the project all window trim was replaced with PVC along with replacing the garage door siding with Hardie corner board trim. The First Rate Siding project cost at the end matched the exact quote before work began. Throughout, David Damon and the First Rate Siding team were prompt and responsive to questions or concerns. My questions and concerns were always of a minor nature. Considering the project's cost, and the timely delivery of the project results I believe that I receive excellent value for the money invested. David Damon is a fair an honest contractor. I would do business with him again.

David Damon and his team at First Rate Siding provided complete siding replacement on our home, complete window replacement, exterior painting and new gutters. This included tearing down existing siding, disposal, repair of any hidden problems with underlayment, bedmolding, and wood. They then wrapped the house with hardiewrap and taped all the seams. They installed hardie trim on all vertical pieces. They flashed and even repaired some window wood that was rotten. This is my first review, and I felt so compelled to give David and his team kudos for the work they did! The job was done beautifully, and they went above and beyond my expectations - which is difficult to do, since my husband and I are very thorough on our research and have high expectations. David is a true gift in the business - a trustworthy, reputable gentleman who has a great working relationship with his crew. He provided his expertise and professional opinion - never overselling us or going against our wishes. As all projects have their challenges, and life is not perfect, this project had a few minor issues that had to be dealt with, but what I loved about David is his responsiveness. Whenever anything came up, he was always on the ball and ready to handle it. I never felt like he was putting my project or me on the back burner. As a matter of fact, he made me feel as if ours was his only project (and his most important one), even though we obviously were not his only project. Thank you, thank you, thank you, David and First Rate Siding!

Very good workmanship on all levels. Once on the the job you felt secure knowing they would do it right. Prices were very good. Have had them back a couple of times and hope they stay in business for a long time. And always return phone call promptly !

Fast and polite crews provided hardie plank siding, all new windows, shutters and painted our house. It looks beautiful and they were a pleasure to work with.

We had a fabulous experience having our siding installed. David and his crew are meticulous and cut no corners. The details they pointed out in our planning process far surpassed any other contractors that bid on the job. Our experience even half way through the siding job was so impressive that we decided to have David install new windows in our entire home as well.

I AM EXTREMELY IMPRESSED WITH FIRST RATE AND THE QUALITY OF THE OWNER AND EMPLOYEES. MET DEADLINES, WORKS GREAT WITH OTHERS, I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH. I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER CONTRACTOR. HAPPY TO PROVIDE DETAILS.
