If I had to do this project again, I would 100% choose Home Exterior Systems, so much so that I intend to have them replace my roof sometime in the next year or two. Anyone considering having their home done with James Hardie siding should feel confident that you will receive a top-notch job.

On the second project, there was a discrepancy in an order of our windows, which was not necessarily anyone's fault, aside from some lack of clarity. Both Patrick and George handled it extremely professionally. We really appreciated how it was taken care of.

We initially contracted with HES to install Hardieplank siding and paint our house and garage. We then discussed a further project to build a storage structure with an attached porch and install new patterned concrete patio. All the work was completed beautifully and within our budget. We would recommend HES wholeheartedly and will consider them first for any future projects.

I had a nine-inch hole punched through the Hardie Plank on the back of my garage by a careless lawn technician. Vicky worked with me to get this small repair estimated and scheduled. Gilbert came to the house and did a fantastic job removing the two broken planks and replacing them. Then he got matching paint so you cannot tell there had ever been any damage. Overall, an excellent experience.
Additional comments
Areas Of Satisfaction
Areas Of Satisfaction - After replacing and painting the damaged Hardie Plank on the garage, the workman also touched up paint issues on the back of the garage that were previously painted with the wrong color by homeowner. This was unexpected and appreciated.
