After a section of vinyl siding blew off my home's exterior wall, Tech-Star agreed to re-attach or replace it (whichever was needed) and did so. Their response was very timely. In doing so it was discovered that the siding became detached because of water getting under the siding, thus damaging the wood sheathing. Sections of the sheathing needed replacing as well as re-attaching the siding or replacing it where necessary. Evan was very thorough and competent in evaluating and making the necessary temporary repairs until the permanent repairs were made. He also assisted by coordinating and evaluating the extent of damage for the homeowners insurance property adjuster. This was followed by the proper repairs that included some stud replacement, new sheathing, insulation, installing a vapor barrier and new and re-attached vinyl siding. I am very happy with the timeliness, quality of work, cost and professionalism of everyone invloved from Tech-Star.
Description of Work: A section of vinyl siding became detached from my home's exterior wall. It was replaced only to find that the sheathing behind the siding was damaged by water, thus resulting in a section of siding blowing off from a wind storm. The damaged sections needed the siding removed and re-attached or replaced after the underlying repairs were made. The underlying repairs were to the studs, sheathing, and insulation.

Overall the roof is good, however gutters and siding were carelessly damaged, deck gouged, roof shingles were not trimmed properly. Dented vent pipe boot installed. Smashed gutter diverter, and when it was pointed out, said it was unavoidable. Teck Star's subcontractor, Empire Construction had an attitude that "collateral damage" was inevitable and unavoidable. For this reason, I would not allow Tech Star to correct installation errors. I would rather fix the problems myself than risk further problems.
Description of Work: Re-roof, including stripping the old roof.

THE WORK THAT THEY DID WAS FIRST CLASS. THEY WERE VERY GOOD ABOUT SHOWING UP ON TIME AND WORKING REALLY HARD THROUGHOUT THE JOB. THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I NOTICED WAS THAT THEY OVERLOOKED A FEW MINOR DETAILS.
Description of Work: THEY PUT IN NEW CABINETS, REFACED OLD ONE, AND REPLACED THE COUNTERTOPS IN MY KITCHEN.
