On the first day of work, the crew arrived early. After John arrived, the crew set up the pump jacks that would be used to work at the heights needed, and dived right into the task of removing the old paneling (without removing the windows - and without damaging the windows). They worked quickly and efficiently, but carefully. By mid-afternoon, having finished removing the old stuff, they started adding the new plywood substrate and stayed at that until they finished the entire wall (about 500 sq. ft.) and ended the day by wrapping the wall in a Tyvek-like sheeting. They then cleaned up completely after themselves which included sweeping the driveways with a magnetic sweeper to catch all of the fallen nails.
On the next day, the crew started early with laying out the wall in preparation for the installation of the paneling. Once the materials arrived, they started the task. This turned out to be a bit of a challenge to them as they dealt with the windows. James, the foreman, was certainly up to the challenge. They successfully worked their way through all issues that arose. By late afternoon, the last piece of Hardie paneling was measured, cut, and pieced into its place. The crew continued working by cutting and installing all of the trim around the windows. Finally, they caulked every seam, every trim piece, and every nail hole. They finished the job by breaking down their setup and cleaning up completely. Early evening by this time. A long day for them.
Having worked as a carpenter and for carpentry contractors, in my younger years, I knew what I was watching throughout most of both of the days that John's crew was here. And I was impressed. They knew what they were doing. They knew how to solve problems. They worked closely and easily with one another. Man, they worked hard, too. Their lunch break was about a half hour, it seems to me, and I recall that they took only one short break in the morning and afternoon. James was an excellent foreman, continually moving his crew forward and also manning the saw on the ground. They were all polite and cheerful and easy to have around (despite all of the noise). And it seemed plain to me that they enjoyed their jobs and working for John. Their workmanship was TOP-NOTCH.
I am soooo glad that I "found" John and Heidi on Angie's List. If you have a job that entails working with Hardie siding, these are the folks to call. They are experts. I will have no hesitation whatsoever if it comes to hiring them again. I have already recommended them to a friend and will continue to do so as the proper occasion arises. A big Thank You to John, Heidi, James, and the great crew.

"Hi Guys! Thank you so much for the great review! We are so glad the guys did such a great job for you and your house looks so beautiful. And we know from experience (because we did our own house!) that the new windows and insulation make such a difference in the comfort level especially during the hot summer months, which you'll find out soon enough, lol. You were so great to work with and we really appreciate how nice you were to our guys. If you ever have any questions or need anything, please call any time! Heidi and John"

The people on the crew they sent were friendly, and Jamie was great about communicating exactly what was happening every day. It isn't often you can say a building contractor is a total joy to deal with, but they truly were. Many thanks for a job that came out beautifully with minimal disruption.
"Thanks so much for the great review. I've let Jamie know what you said and he really appreciated it. You were also great to work with and we would love to work with you again if you ever need us!"
Everyone was very professional and I enjoyed working with John and Heidi. They kept me updated as the work went on and when the guys would be coming out to work. I was having a separate remodel job happening around the same time which depended on some of the siding being completed beforehand. JABC were very accommodating to come out ahead of time to complete that part of the house so that the other work could begin.
I felt very comfortable working with them. They did not try to oversell on things I didn't need. Hardie may be more expensive than T11, but well worth the money. I can already tell a difference in how well insulated my house feels. I also won't have to worry about my siding rotting and falling apart again.
Overall, I am very please with the work JABC did. I feel like I have a brand new house, and I've received many compliments from my neighbors. I would definitely recommend JABC to anyone.

"Thanks for taking the time to review our work. Your house really looks beautiful and we are especially proud of the decorative details over the front window and the garage door. You and your wife were great to work with and we always appreciate great customers. Thanks again, John and Heidi"
"Thanks so much for taking the time to review our work. We're really glad that you are so happy with the siding and windows. Your house really came out nice. It's unfortunate that you weren't completely satisfied with the interior finishes. We try for 100% satisfaction on every job so that's a little disappointing. We have worked to improve our services in this area and hopefully won't see this in a review again. Thanks again! John and Heidi"
Here's how the work progressed:
1) Contact John Anderson regarding the project to set up an appointment for the following day. John arrived right on time and described the various options. On time appointments and on time work was a constant throughout the project. What a pleasant surprise this is compared to other builders.
2) Work started on the appointed day bright and early at 8am. By the end of the day dry-in was completed.
3) The siding material was to come the next day, but was delayed by the supplier by a week. Heide Anderson kept us informed almost daily about its delivery status.
4) Work recommenced on the day the material arrived with a crew of two or three working all day. The job required five days to complete. On each work day a crew of two worked a full eight hours towards project completion. The work was not hurried, just a moderate but steady pace. I believe this contributed significantly to high quality workmanship.
5) After completion all scrap was removed from the premises. We found very few nails that had not been picked up. John did a final walkthrough and explained some of the construction details and the need to perform work a certain way. The bulk of the project payment was paid after the walkthrough.
I recommend John Anderson Building Construction very highly. Both John and Heide are personable and reasonable. The employees are pleasant and careful with their work. This substantial project turned out to be such a pleasant experience. They certainly get my vote for the Super Service award.
"Thank you so much for taking the time to review our work. It is our goal to make sure our customers are completely happy with our work so that hiccup with the material delivery was a little frustrating. We appreciated your patience with that and hope that you'll call if we can help again in the future. Heidi and John"
