DaBella Exteriors LLC, is a company that should not exist. They supposedly specialize in Hardie Board siding installations but their siding work is sloppy, amateurish and unprofessional. I have cracked panels and areas where the siding work was never finished as defined in the contract. The siding work they did do was cut unevenly in places leaving gaps and exposing the interior portions of my home to the elements.
Their trim work is also done poorly were is is cut wrong and installed incorrectly.
Other concerns with their siding work include siding pieces not nailed to the wall and finally the actual nails used have failed within nine months with half of the nails covered with rust. Many of the nails are working themselves out of the siding and the rust is bleeding down the siding and trim work.
Their caulking work is sloppy and many areas the caulking is pulling off the walls or is so beaded up it looks like a child applied it. In some areas of the house they never completing the caulking around the windows and trim. They also left the siding a mess with smudge marks and exposed nails as well as the area around the home with their trash and debris.
DaBella Exteriors in Oregon does not stand behind their work and their idea of costumer service is to treat costumers poorly. Their managers are combative and to try to bully you in giving up instead of doing the right thing and fixing their mistakes. It has been 10 months since they completed the work, came back once five months later for one day to try and fix it, but they never finished the work.
DaBella Exterior is only about making money and not doing the work they are contracted to do. My advice is work with a local small scale contractor for siding work, even if it takes more leg work to get them on board, the chances are the prices will be more reasonable and you will be treated fairly.
In addition, DaBella is listed as James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor. When contacting James Hardie about their program supporting a company that does terrible work and treat costumers just as bad they say they will look into it but nothing happens for the homeowner. They are obvious in a tight relationship and my advice is to work and a different cement siding company like Allura. There product is made in the USA and they do not have a program to scam hardworking Americans.
Protect yourself, your home and your piece of mind and stay clear of these two companies.
