Siding Contractors in Roanoke, VA

"They were great! Showed up at the time promised and fixed our floor and door frame efficiently, and even a few extra things that needed to be done. They gave us very reasonable estimates on future jobs as well. Were professional, trustworthy, and kind. Cant wait to do more work with these guys! Thanks!"

"Requested an estimate through HomeAdvisor to have an approximately 50 foot long section of gutter replaced across the front of our two story Roanoke County, Virginia home and Ted George of Sentry Exteriors arrived on March 4. Ted inspected the job site and provided the estimate and pointed out other potential "non-critical" issues associated with the existing roof (waviness - potential wood sheeting underlay damage - and how the previous homeowner had not installed new shingles in 2010 using the proper drip edge and ridge cap shingles) and gutters (beginning to pull away from metal fascia on the back of the house). In addition to replacing the damaged gutter section, Ted provided estimates for other items we had discussed (new siding, roof and gutters). Ted was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Ted was on site for over an hour. We received a second on site estimate a week later that was almost twice the price quoted by Sentry and there was no mention of any other potential problems with the existing roof or gutters (estimator did not perform a "walk around"). The estimator was on site for less than half an hour. We scheduled the replacement of the damaged front gutter section with Sentry on March 16 and the work was performed on March 26. The friendly two man crew arrived on time. After measuring the exact replacement length, one person formed the new gutter section on the ground while the other carefully removed the existing gutter leaf covers from the old damaged gutter section then removed the screw nails from the old gutter. After the damaged gutter section had been dropped to the ground, the crew member on the ground hand carried the new 45 foot long section of 27 gauge seamless aluminum gutter across the yard and up a ladder to the other member on the roof. The gentleman on the roof attached the new gutter section to the fascia by himself, drilled holes and attached the downspouts, and finally reattached the existing leaf covers to the new gutter. The damaged gutter was loaded into the Sentry trailer for disposal. The job was completed in approximately an hour. The new gutter was a close match in color (classic cream) to the existing window frames and gutters. Billing and payment was handled online using QuickBooks. Overall it was a very positive experience and I will use Sentry Exteriors again for future home improvement projects when funding is available. If there were any non-positive aspects associated with this experience (and I'm no expert on gutter replacement), the two man crew (one on the roof holding the 45 foot long section near the center and the other on the ground) "eyeballed" the placement of the new gutter and the drainage slope instead of using any tools or guides, and the gentleman on the roof did not use any fall protection or tie off the ladder."

"It is with deep satisfaction that I recommend Gradys Painting and Plastering & Construction. Mr. George Grady is a skilled craftsman. He was hired to correct long neglected and extensive masonry and window issues on a large, beautiful Presbyterian Church built in the Civil War era in Philadelphia. The property was neglected with only minimal maintenance performed over the last 40+ years. The building was in severe decline and in need of stabilization and restoration on many fronts. Cracked ledge plates were chipped out and reestablished, internal walls damaged by leakage were broken out and repaired, brickwork was repointed and in severe cases reestablished to original strength and beauty. Leaks around the base of the building were addressed to stabilize deterioration of the foundation. Large rotted window sills under beautiful stained glass windows were restored after significant masonry reestablishment due to water damage under the rotted out sills. Broken and missing stained glass windows are in the process of repair and replacement. The process started with new metal frames cast by Mr. Grady. The new frames will hold clear painted replications of the original stained glass, also crafted by Mr. Grady. Regular windows all around the church and manse were also repaired and restored. Roof leaks were accurately identified and repaired. A sagging plaster ceiling has been torn out and restored. All this work was done by Mr. Grady alone or with an occasional helper. He worked with care, expertise and respect for the original structure. The results far exceeded our expectations and have injected new life into a building on the brink. This building, owned by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, now houses a new urban ministry in a newly gentrifying area of the city. We are happy to have had the good fortune to be connected to Gradys Painting and Plastering & Construction by Service Magic."
