Bridgeport Vinyl Siding Installation

Chris did a wonderful job on our project. He and his team were professional and hardworking. They went extra miles without extra charge. Most importantly, his quote was very reasonable.

Mr. Dailey presented himself as a 5* rating Home Advisor Pro that specialized in roofing and siding. He was initially hired to do my siding on an agreed amount of $12,485.00 After my 10% HA discount and 10% 1st Spring call. He then offered to make it an even $12,000. If I paid cash. I was currently working with another contractor inside my home. And was planning on having that contractor whom I was very happy with replace my front door and make my closet area, into a mud room. Mr. Dailey went to great lengths to get me to add that project to the siding, by making me an offer I couldn’t refuse. And representing himself to be a God fearing man. All 3 projects were to be done for $13,900. (I purchased all the materials separately; front door, flooring, paint, light fixtures, doorbells, house numbers, and stone siding) The contract was signed on 3/24/17. Along with a down payment of $5000.cash To be as brief as possible; And to strictly stick with only the work I’m complaining about; because Mr. Dailey is a fast sweet talker and decided I needed much more done on my home. After starting my contract Mr. Dailey obtained a lot of work from the sign in front of my home. He kept leaving me to do work for others. He took his best men and unbeknownst to me at the time left me with a crew of men that had never done siding before. And an electrician who did not know what he was doing. I say this because he had to redo it 3 times and then, the foreman Josh) ended up fixing it. So to start: 2 days after all work was completed and Mr. Dailey was paid in full. The light stopped working. I reached out to him 7 times via text. He replied that they would come fix it. After no communication at all from Mr. Dailey for 6 weeks I reached out to an electrician I met and he came right over and fixed it, and only charged me $50.00. Also per the contract I was supposed to be supplied with a lifetime transferable warranty for the supreme siding I purchased. I never had any more communication with Mr. Dailey. I brushed it off and washed my hands of the whole ordeal. I didn’t write a review of any kind nor communicated with him again. At the very beginning of Spring I went outside to start draining my pool and saw that there was vinyl trim all over the yard. I had purchased Ultimate Charter Oak Siding System . ( Never fades, chips, cracks, rots, shrinks, dings, or swells and can withstand the intensity of category 5 hurricane winds) So you can imagine my surprise. I reached out to Mr. Dailey, but received no response. I assumed this was going to be a repeat of the light fixture ordeal. So, on 4/18/18 I reached out to Home Advisor for assistance. They said in order to assist me I would have to write a review. So initally I had them write “I would not recommend”. They reached out to Mr. Dailey and then I got a response. First via text, then a phone call. He screamed at me, used foul language, asked me how I could do such a thing knowing this was how he fed his family, and added that since I paid him in cash, as far as he was concerned the job DID NOT EXIST. He also advised me that they no longer did roofing or siding. Mr. Dailey then sent out his foreman to put the trim back on. However, on 6/1/18 I found pieces of siding laying on the ground. I again reached out to Home Advisor for assistance. Mr. Dailey ignored them and they removed him from their lists of Pros. He called them irate and promised he would reach out to me to make it right. But never did. Per the contracts for the siding I was to receive a lifetime transferable warranty upon completion. Along with the 15 year warranty upon completion of the roof. Neither warranty was supplied to me. Home Advisor has not and will not reinstate him to their lists of Pros. I then had another pro come out on 6/18/18 to give me an estimate to repair the vinyl that had fallen off and look over the entire house for any other problems that may exist. Of which they found many, and advised the warranty would be no good if the installation wasn't done properly. They started work today 7/23/18. Mr. Dailey has had all this time to contact me and come out to make things right, if he was a man of his word and stood behind his work. I am going to have to pay them out of pocket for their services and this should not be on me. Mr. Dailey should pay for the siding that was not installed properly to be fixed, and for what has fallen off to be repaired or replaced. Home Advisor has encouraged me to reach out to all these resources:Local Attorney General Infohttp://[*** Link removed ***] of the Attorney GeneralThe CapitolAlbany, NY 12224-0341Notes: Review Local Attorney General Link Info - Alternative numbers for consumer complaints is listed for each local officeState Licensing Board: Links:[*** Link removed ***] Department of StateDivision of Licensing Services123 William St., 19th FloorNew York, NY 10038-3804Notes: BBB Info:Link:[*** Link removed ***] Trade Commission:Link: [*** Link removed ***] Arbitration Association:Link: [*** Link removed ***] And I have every intention of doing so.

All went as planned other than a few weather delays. We are extremely happy with the outcome and the services performed by Van Dusen Exteriors. They are now doing our daughters house,

I had never used Angie's List before. I had also never had to hire a contractor to install siding, either. When the house next door caught fire, the siding on one side of our house melted as a result of the extreme heat. I selected DiMartino Construction because of their sterling reputation and I was not disappointed! I was able to get a quote to submit to my insurance company to hasten the claim process. When it came time to do the work, the crew was able to finish it in one day. Best of all, it was a quality job and fair price. I would definitely recommend DiMartino Construction again and again...and again!

From the moment I first spoke with John (in regards to an estimate) I knew we would be choosing DiMartino Construction. His level of professionalism and responsiveness was totally above and beyond what we had experienced with other contractors. John worked with us on pricing and had every detail itemized and broken down for us to read and understand, (the same cannot be said for alot of contractors who throw out a ballpark figure and pad their pockets.) After meeting the three generations of Dimartino’s you get an understanding that these guys really care about the reputation of the family business and the product and services they provide. The team of Kenny, Michael, Kevin, Jason, John, Nate, and Nick (sorry if I left a few out) had our large two story home (with a 12 ft pitch) roof sided in less than a week. They also installed all new gutters, soffit, fascia, and aluminum window trim, with a new front entry door and French door set to boot. Our home has been completely transformed and we could not be more pleased with the final product. These guys genuinely care about their work and enjoy what they do, every morning like clockwork, they arrived ready to work at 745am. Throughout the week they were very considerate of our property and did a nice job cleaning up and asking our opinion if a decision needed to be made. Thank you to the Dimartino family and team, it was a pleasure working with you and getting to know you guys, we will recommend you to anybody who will listen.

EXCELLENT! Returned phone calls when promised. Showed up on time for the estimate. Conducted himself in a knowledgeable and professional manner. Provided the estimate in a timely manner. The work was done on time and in a professional manner. Each day the crew cleaned up well when done and the job was completed in a timely manner. The results were a well done job. I would recommend Mack and American Home Solutions to anyone. I will be using them again.

John DiMartino and his whole team were very professional and their craftmanship shows in the quality work they performed.

Although we liked the workmen .... We had a terrible experience with Comfort Windows.  We spent $18,000 getting siding for our house.  A section the siding melted and sagged.  Gayle Wiegand of the Syracuse Office saw it and  promised me it would be taken care,  I communicated with Joe Lamanna many,  many times and he was totally useless coming to the house and  telling he would stay in touch and would fix it.   But he was just giving us line and never followed up.  The way Comfort works is that they have you sign a contract with a third party "Alside" which produces the siding material. From the get go I felt it was very weird having to sign a “contract” with “Their Supplier”.   As an Engineer I always considered that my subcontractors were my responsibility not that of the customer.  Also, as an engineer I can tell you their material is made very cheaply and has a very low thermal stability.  What this means if you have bay or indentations in you home where there may be reflected sunlight from windows hitting the exterior of your home IT WILL MELT AND SAG.  Avoid Comfort siding, the management people don't stand behind their work or their product and the material they use is very poor. 

executed as agreed in timely fashion update 10/2/14 - Next door neighbor had John side their house in July '14 based on our referral.  We asked John then to return here and nail some trim because 3 windows won't open, and also to provide us with a quote for painting other trim.  He had a relative die out of town, he told his son to do the work but it was never done, and he texted several times to ask when we would be available for him to come out.  Haven't seen him yet.

I am very happy that someone referred them to me because they are an A+ company. They came in ripped the shingles off the house, put in insulation, and then the siding. They did everything the proper way. Every night they cleaned up their work. I would give them my highest recommendation.
