This is the most crooked , incompetent lying contractor I have ever dealt with on Angies list. He does not install according to manufacturers specification he does the exact opposite. He installs the siding directly on the ground where termites and vermin and moisture can get into the house. I have the photos and documents. He refuses to follow his own contract to come out and finish repairs, he does not correct stains, black marks, or exposed nail heads and defects as per the contract. He won't even drop off the touch up paint that you paid for in the contract. He charged me $10,000 for a 1500 square foot ranch. When the guy across the street saw what he did to my house, he canceled went to Home Depot and bought siding and hired local siding men and did it for 1/3 of what I paid and got an excellent job. If you are A Senior Citizen or inexperienced with siding avoid this scam artist. Email Angies list and I will send you photos and documents. It is just not worth dealing with this crook. Save your house and peace of mind and hire a reputable contractor.

Response from Insulated Wall Systems
[member name removed] is, unfortunately, one of those rare customers whose business I would rather not have had. I don't want to speculate about his motives because he often acted confused and forgetful about the work that was to be done even though it was very clearly spelled out in our contract. He is elderly, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he is confused and not an outright liar, or much worse, as he has falsely accused me of being. The problem we encountered with him on day one is a good example of how he operates. My siding crew had installed one wall of new ColorPlus siding on his home when he told them to stop work because the siding was the wrong color. They called me, I checked the paperwork and assured them it was the right color, I called [member name removed] and told him it was the color he chose but he was not convinced. I stopped what I was doing and drove to his home with the ColorPlus sample case that I had shown him just a few days earlier. I picked up a piece of siding that was being installed on his home and put it next to the Light Mist color he had selected in the sample case and proved that it was the right color, a perfect match. I had personally spent over 2 hours with him going over the color choices just a few days earlier. We discussed the fact that none of the ColorPlus choices matched the existing green paint on his home. He decided that he wanted the Light Mist color so that is what I specified on our contract. When he realized that the Light Mist siding we were installing was indeed the Light Mist color he had chosen and that Light Mist is what was spelled out in our contract, his response was "well it doesn't match the green paint" but ok, go ahead and keep installing it. He praised the siding work as it went along and then as we were finishing the siding he said "what about the soffits, now they don't match the Light Mist color". Of course they didn’t match, they are different colors. This is something that we had discussed at length when he chose the Light Mist color, however, he acted as though he had no memory of that conversation. Then he started his trend of threating to write "the worst review of my company I had ever seen" unless I did something about it. In an attempt to salvage what I realized was becoming a no-win situation, I agreed to do additional work for free to appease him. We capped the fascia boards in the gables with aluminum to make them White instead of green for no additional charge. We also installed new HardieSoffits at my cost so they would not be green either. Of course, there was nothing in our contract about doing any of this work whatsoever. This pattern repeated itself several more times before he finally appeared to be satisfied and happy with the work. Within a week he was calling to complain that the gutters were dirty and that mud had splashed on his new siding. He wanted me to tell him how to prevent mud from splashing on the siding and wanted me to pressure wash the gutters and the mud off the siding. Once again, I did this work for free all the while he was threatening to "write the worst review of my company I had ever seen" if I did not yield to his demands. I sent one of my painters out to pressure wash those areas and hand wipe his siding for free. A few days later he was emailed asking me to provide the name of a "Good Mexican landscaper". I did not reply. He made a number of other bizarre requests and statements such as: "…I know you think I am just an old man in a rundown part of town. I have won two Federal lawsuits against the V.A. where I represented myself, researched the law and appeared before 3 federal judges. I also won 6 appeals which I wrote myself. My last years at the V.A. I was a contract representative so I know more than you think about contracts. Which is why I have the means to fix this house. I have the time and the money to make things as ho*** ** you as you are making on me" I had never expressed my opinion about his age or the socio-economic status of his neighborhood, but he seems to think I have for some reason. “…there are numerous black marks on the white trim which “Frederick” never bothered to fix. I called the foreman. “Antonio and he told me “Frederick” had quit and he was not responsible for “Frederick” The white trim he is complaining about was provided to him free of charge, I have no worker named “Frederick” so I have no idea what he is talking about and my siding foreman Antonio, told him no such thing. A week later he emailed that there was still an "oil" stain somewhere on the siding and he wanted some touch up paint he claimed I promised him. Never mind that one of my painters pressure washed and wiped clean all of his siding once already, while [member name removed] was there watching him. I suggested that it may be necessary to file a warranty claim on the ColorPlus finish if he believed it still had “oil stains”. Without responding to that suggestion, he made another false claim that we had installed the siding into the ground. The next day he emailed this: “…I sent you photos of the mistakes in the job. You do not answer. You are mistaken. I don't make threats I take action. I am a paying member on Angies's list. You are starting to make me very angry” Here was my response: Let’s get the facts straight. We finished the work on your house around March 7. Since that time you have emailed me at least 16 times either complaining or asking me such things as to “Recommend a good Mexican landscaper” or how far away from your house you need to install pavers to prevent mud from splashing on the wall. You have a history of falsely accusing me or my workers of making “mistakes “, when the fact of the matter is, you are the one who has repeatedly been mistaken. The very day we started work on your home, you called to tell me we were installing the wrong color siding. I had to stop what I was doing, then drive all the way to your home to show you that the color we were installing was the color you picked, was the color specified in our agreement and that it exactly matched the color in the sample case I showed you. Of course, you did not apologize for your mistake or for wasting half of my day. As the siding was being installed you complained that it did not match the soffit. That was something we discussed the very day you picked the siding color. Although the colors did not match, the paint on the soffit and facia looked good so it was going to be left as is. You agreed to to that and that is why there is nothing in our agreement about any work whatsoever to the soffit or facia. As you continued to complain about it, we came up with a plan to cap The facia boards in the Gables with white metal so that you did not have to paint them. This was done without charge to you. Then, you continued to complain about the soffits. So we came up with a plan to replace the horizontal soffits and correct the soffit framing. This was done for you at cost. Then you complained about the Garage door trim not matching. Never mind that that was something else we had already discussed. Never mind that our contract specified that the rotten piece was to be replaced with pressure-treated 2 x 6. None of that mattered as you saw this as another opportunity to complain. We had to travel all the way back to the Smyrna warehouse to get additional hardietrim boards to replace the garage door trim to satisfy you. Then when I sent Antonio with you to Home Depot to pick up a new sliding glass door you did not offer to pay for it. Instead Antonio had to call me to do a phone charge to get the door. Never mind that our agreement was that you were responsible for the door cost and I was only charging $150 to pick it up and install it for you. A week after we finished you complained that the back porch was 4 inches off center. I sent the siding crew back to your home to remove it then reinstall it to your satisfaction. No mention that we reinforced the framing on that “porch” without charging you a penny. You complained about marks on the siding and that the gutters were dirty. I sent my painter back to pressure wash the gutters and clean the siding for you. Again, this was done without any charge to you. I called you a half dozen times after this was done to make sure everything was to your satisfaction. You never returned my phone calls, instead a week later, you sent emails threatening to write bad reviews on Angie’s list unless I brought you the paint I promised and cleaned the oil stain. Now you are claiming the siding has been installed improperly. To say working with you has been difficult and frustrating would be a gross understatement. The siding was lined up exactly where your old siding was. We did not lower it into the ground as you are suggesting. My guess is that if you remove the gravel then the foundation wall will be exposed. I have ordered a small touch up paint bottle for you that I will pick up tomorrow and bring to your home on Friday. I will also inspect the siding at that time. I intend to resolve all of these matters on Friday so that I can move on with my life. Here was [member name removed]’sreply to my email: “…You whinny *expletive*. all of this could have been easily taken care of, with an attention to finishing the project. You are a liar. You said you would leave paint for touch up to match the house, which you did not do. And you took all the left over siding . I will forward these photos to Angie's list and other third party's so they know not to do business with a *expletive* like you. Since you refuse to make good on the contract, I will have to take you to small claims court because you are a criminal. There is more to this than that you just don't like me. You personally resent me for idealogical sick reasons. this should not enter into a business situation but you are not an honorable business man and I will spend the rest of my life telling people what you are.” I have never had a conversation with [member name removed] about his ideological beliefs, so to state I resent him for that is bizarre beyond explanation. After reading his email I decided it would not be wise for me to return to his home. If someone can become that hostile, hateful and irrational over such minor issues, that he made up, then who knows what he is capable of. This has been going on for over two months since we completed the work and my belief is that it will never end no matter what we do for him. [member name removed] seems to enjoy making threats, showing hostility and doing whatever he can to continue a fight that was never warranted in the first place. I feel sorry for [member name removed]. I understand the old saying that "misery loves company", however, I am unwilling to join him in that quest. In conclusion, we did excellent work on his home and I would invite anyone to take a look at it. I have no doubt they would be impressed. Maybe he can show you the "oil stains”, I never saw any, nor have I ever seen “oil stain” on any siding we have installed in 27 years. Regarding the most recent claim that we installed the siding into the ground, well, we didn't of course. He must have forgotten that he installed gravel around the home to prevent the mud from splashing on his siding. If he moves some of the gravel away, I’m sure he will be able to see his slab foundation again and prevent his home from being “destroyed”.

The woodpeckers and birds had killed the LP siding on our chimney causing many holes which then led to internal water damage. John gave us a very fair quote for replacement of siding with a 4" profile smooth HardiePlank siding. This siding was a special order as we wanted it to match as close as possible to the current siding on the house. He also gave us quotes for replacing the wall at the chimney and the entire house. We decided for now to fix the urgent need of a new chimney. The crew found a lot of water damage under the old siding which increased the estimate a bit but we were prepared for that. The crew was knowledgeable and professional and communicated with me what they were doing and why. They worked quickly to repair the damage to the chimney, put the new siding on, and replace the window trim on a window that had water damage. The painting crew did a fine job of matching to my current siding, caulking, and painting the trim. I am very pleased with my project and the chimney looks very nice. I wish I had the $$$ for him to do the entire house, put on new gutters, and a deck. John is responsive to emails, texts, and phone calls. He was knowledgeable in explaining to me the pros/cons, warranties, paint, application, etc. I would definitely work with him and his team again and appreciate the job well done for my home. I'm very impressed with the work that was done.

John put new siding all around my house and replaced my windows approximately 10-11 years ago. I don't remember the cost and am not going to dig through my file cabinet for it, but he gave me a price that was very competitive and better than some other quotes I had received. They still look great! He also put siding on my mom's house about a year before he did my house and the siding also continues to look great. Mom is now considering putting in new windows so we've put in a call to him to come by and talk about doing that project. When you find a good contractor you always keep their business card for future reference/needs - and he's our "go to man" for these things. His crews were very professional in doing the work and in my case left my yard cleaner than it was when they arrived to do the windows/siding!

I was all set to go with a different company, just shy of signing the contract when I got a call from John Tabor. I would have normally just let him know I've already made a decision and thanked him for the call, but within a short period of time I found myself interested in his thoughts regarding vinyl versus Hardiplank and his twenty something year knowledge of the industry. I decided to accept a quote from him and upon review of it and others that I received, decided he offered the best deal. Most of the quotes I received were in the same ball-park, but painting of the siding was not included in the price. I decided he offered the best deal and I'd hoped there were no drawbacks or skimping on quality. Well, it turned out the company was very professional. John walked me through the process of what to expect and everything went smoothly. I had some extra rotting here and there that he could have charged me extra for, but did not. There was one area that sustained a lot of damage on my porch that did require additional work. It was no surprise as prior to installation we had discussed all the rotting of my previous Masonite siding, and frankly I was surprised not more damage was found. However, he charged me a very low price to fix that. The job only took about 3-4 days and they did a great job. My husband and I are very pleased with the end result. John's a busy guy and you do have to contact him for followup at times, but he always answers his phone and takes time to answer any additional questions. He is very easy to work with and I plan to contact him again in the near future for other work we need. I'm confident we'll get a good price and professional work done.

In October, they re-sided and repainted the left and right sides of the house (which were in the worst repair), then in February, I had them do the remaining re-siding and painting of the other two sides of the house. The crew was very thorough and were done reasonably on time; I think the estimates were both in the 2- to 3-day range, and it took about 5 both times, but there was also inclement weather both times. John Tabor is very professional and committed to making sure his customers are happy. The ONLY negative thing I could say is that the crew didn't clean up as well, as I thought they should (left nails and broken glass in my driveway and lawn).

Excellent job! We first had a siding crew remove the old siding, wrap the house with Greenguard housewrap, then install the new Hardieplank siding. The Hardieplank is already primed. They also replaced wood corner boards with Hardie and replaced wood gable vents with pvc gable vents. The siding replacement took about 5 days. Next, a different crew came and pressure washed, then painted the house and trim. Overall, the whole job was completed on-time, clean-up was good and the quality of work was excellent! My only minor complaint is they specified in writing to "attempt to patch various areas of rotten wood on shutters and front column" and this was not done. The rotten wood was simply painted. I recommend this company to friends and neighbors. Note: this was not the lowest quote that I received, however it was significantly lower than the big box store.
