RJ Scalzi & Sons

A great experience.  Arrived on time, left yard way it was found.  No evidence they were even here, except for the fine work that was done.

He did a nice job. Reasonably priced.

Rocco and his team did an excellent job in repairing our vinyl siding. They were polite, professional, and did an excellent job.  I would recommend them to my friends. I feel that no job is too small for them.  I feel they would treat everyone the same. No matter the size of the job. They waste no time. They concentrate on what they are doing. do

Working with the guys, Matt, Rocco, Jay and Joel was very easy.  They did everything as promised - they were professional, left the area clean every day, open to making the few changes that I wanted and did a super job.  I also felt very comfortable leaving my door unlocked so that they could come in as needed.  I received a lower quote but went with them after seeing the work that was done on a friend's house and I'm very glad I did.   My house looks great.
.

I really appreciate. That they didn't pressure me to do more than I was able to afford.
They were friendly. We did play phone tag everynow and then, but I knew they would/did get back to me.
I do plan to do more work with them as soon as I can save the initial quote. They do really good work.
Some weeks before I had them come in to fix my siding that had been hanging and banging against the house every night that was windy. I was afraid they wouldn't do the work because it was too small. But they did it. Made my day. And the price was reasobable to!

They were just spectacular. He was very enthusiastic about the work. He really got into it and did a very fine job. He was very particular about the details and we sided with Cedar Impressions plastic shingles and aluminum for the trim and some vinyl and he made it all look like wood. People actually came by and thought it was wood, but it's the most durable material by Consumer Reports in terms of siding. It's a very thick low maintenance material. He did a great clean up and was very professional. We would bounce ideas together about how to handle certain things and he was really good at problem solving. There were some birds who had gotten into the eaves and he had moved some 1970s vinyl and then resided and there were a lot of underlined things that needed to be fixed. Squirrels had chewed on the wood underneath and he did a great job of solving it and made everything look just right. The only negative thing I would say about him was that he smoked a lot, but he was very careful to do that outside and where the smoke wouldn't bother us.

When I contacted them for a quote it took a little communication to get a visit (since they do all the quoting themselves after a full day of work and on the weekends). It was great that they came, explained, and then provided an onsite quote. No wasted time. We knew after having 3 other quotes that these guys were going to be quality. They took all the time and effort to explain the details- not one other company offered the sort of time and effort in the quote process.
As for the work, they really followed through. As with any construction, unexpected things come up, they always kept me informed. Our windows were not properly installed in the first place 10 years ago, which made their job more difficult. But, they were able to create a workaround and they didn't charge extra. We had a window break in the process of siding and the provided a replacement without hassle. I think the real test of a good contractor/businessmen is when things don't go smoothly- you get to see the true character of a person and they score 5 stars!
The process took about 3 weeks. Well worth the time to do the job right and they were a pleasure to have around. The extra detail they put into the fans at the peak of the roof are a real show-stopper. If you have the opportunity to work with these guys make sure you get one!
I would happily recommend these guys to my friends and family- and in fact my neighbors booked them shortly after the completion of our house (and their house looks fantastic now too!)

Excellent service. They were responsive, on time, friendly, polite and professional.
Everything was handled in exactly the way I wanted it to be and I wouldn't hesitate in using them again.

Overall I was pleased with the work & would use this company again.  I dealt with the sons mostly -- they responded quickly to my request for a bid and were reasonably priced as compared to other quotes I received. They were able to come quickly (maybe a week or 2 later) which sealed the deal for me since I just wanted the project over & done with.  They came when promised (day & time).  They were polite and did not leave a mess.  They even tacked a bit of siding back in place while they were up there which I appreciated. 
I went out during the next big rain to inspect things and noticed that one area was not properly sealed & still leaking.  This was an area that they had repaired and I know the they had put sealant in that very spot because I had been at home and watched them do it.  But that spot was also where the tube of sealant ran out -- I think it may have been dried out.  In any case, when I called about the issue, they quickly agreed to come back (there was no hassle).  They were able to come in the next week or so & this time the job held.  It has been fine ever since. 
I gave them a "B" since things were not 100% perfect the first time, but am still satisfied overall.

We chose RJ Scalzi & Sons to perform all of our siding work after watching them complete another siding job across the street from us this past Spring.  We obtained other estimates in conducting our due diligence, but the professionalism, outstanding craftsmanship and expert attention to detail exhibited by brothers Matt and Rocco, as well as fellow team members Jay and Joel solidified the fact that RJ Scalzi & Sons should be the only choice for anyone seeking a siding, gutter or window replacement company.  In short, they are the very best.
Matt and Rocco arrived right on time to discuss the details of providing us with a complete siding job with window/door casing replacements as well as installing all new gutters and downspouts.  They proceeded to spend 1.5 hours explaining the many differences in the quality of workmanship and materials by taking the time to show us 3 different sided houses in the neighborhood. All this on a Saturday which happened to be Matt's birthday.  (Other estimates we obtained resulted in the contractor spending about 10 minutes giving us a price with virtually no details or specifics.)  Matt even provided us with many different addresses where we were able to review past siding work - this only confirmed our decision to hire RJ Scalzi.  
The Team arrived to begin the job right on time and did so everyday until the job was completed.  All work is performed by Matt, Rocco, Jay and Joel; there is no contracting out and there are no hidden costs.
The entire team is professional, courteous and an expert in their field.  No detail goes unnoticed and all this is reflected in the final product.  The Team even installed, no charge, the many new light fixtures we purchased to go along with the new siding. 
The quality of the materials used is excellent; the expert craftsmanship is outstanding; and the courteous and professional nature of the entire Team cannot be duplicated or understated.  We never imagined that our house would look virtually brand new and as beautiful as it now does, but the compliments and accolades are all the result of RJ Scalzi & Sons.
Anyone looking for a commercial or residential job regarding siding, gutters, windows or decorative trim should look no further than RJ Scalzi & Sons.  They are simply, the Best of the Best.

RJ Scalzi and Sons was very responsive and professional with providing an estimate. When it came to getting the work done, we did have to call a few times to get them to come when they said they would, but overall, they did a good job within the time frame we needed at a reasonable price.

The Scalzi team (Matt, Rocco, Joel, and Jason), led by Matt, replaced the gutters, soffit, facia board and installed some insulation on our house as part of an ongoing project in which they will eventually side the entire house.  They were willing and able to split the project up as a matter of necessity for us.  A couple of months after the gutter work was done - in a separate project - they came back to replace some windows.
Undaunted by the surprises and challenges that showed up in both these jobs, they didn't seem to skip a beat as they dealt with them.Their ability to be flexible while working with us and their solid teamwork made the jobs move along quickly. 
I chose RJ Scalzi and Sons to perform work on our home because I saw they way they operated when I observed them working on another house.  The end product was terrific and I'm looking forward to when we can have them complete the project.

As detailed above, everything went well.  Leaf Blaster gutter guards performed well, and RJ Scalzi did a great job with the installation.. In short: save money, great soltuion, and a solid contractor.

They did what I wanted, which for some reason other gutter companies couldn't or wouldn't do. I am very pleased with the work.

This company was a pleasure to work with. They were extremely professional, responsive to requests, showed up on the date stated and worked consistently day in and day out until completion of the job. If there was a question, before they would move forward, they would ask. Sometimes they would take on additional small tasks without request and much appreciated. RJ Scalzi is a terrific company whom I would recommend to anyone. When the job was finished, the house now looks beautiful (before starting, actually looked not so good, as this should have been done a long time ago). Great work, reasonable price.

It's difficult to add to the great things that are being said about this company. We were extremely pleased with the entire process. Owner Rich Scalzi is quite an expert in vinyl siding (he even designed some of it!) and pays great attention to detail. He came highly recommended and was also featured recently (2/16/12) on Ask This Old House. It's a family business and the whole crew was great. The job was done for my elderly parents but I was involved throughout.

When you first get an estimate for having the entire house re-sided you might think it's high relative to other estimates. But the attention to detail is unsurpassed. It turns out the other companies would not necessarily even have included all of the same areas/detail. Some companies say they can do the job in a week or two - well beware. This crew worked really hard for a month and it shows. Plus they worked in cold weather and apparently last year worked even in snow. In terms of cost, keep in mind that we picked a more expensive product to install as well.

Before we contracted with them Mr. Scalzi gave us numerous contacts for houses he'd done so we could ride by and look or even contact the owners for references and we'd be happy to do the same. Rich Scalzi is also very patient and good at explaining everything. He really works closely with the customers because it's important to him that you love the result and I can't imagine any other outcome. He worked with my Mom ahead of time to give her samples of different colors because she couldn't make up her mind. And he makes great suggestions about details he can add. Mom wanted a mix of the half-round and straight shingle look and he really helped her decide how to do that.  He added some finishing touches that really make the whole job look great and even put a custom trim around a new octagonal window that already had vinyl trim. It made it look much better. I hope the pictures I've added show some of it.

He was also quite patient with the fact that two porches were being renovated. They were supposed to be finished well before the siding started but got delayed. He and his team coordinated well with the team doing the construction. I'm sure that was more difficult than being able to do the whole job once those areas were finished as they wouldn't have had to work around the other equipment and people. But I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted to unnecessarily delay his next job either. 

Matthew responded 2 days after I'd e-mailed his co.  He came 2 days later to give an estimate.  He spent 30 min. looking around the outside of the house, found a few other loose piece of siding and a fascia covering that was missing; gave us a written estimate and, at my request, discussed new siding options with us - complete with a sample board he had in his truck.  I had also contacted another co. on Angie's list and they came to estimate too.  The guy who did come spent less than 5 min.  looking at the damage, gave me a verbal estimate and left.  The Scalzi quote was actually more more than the 2nd co., but we really appreciated the time and effort Matthew made, and we went for the Scalzi quote.  Matthew and his brother came at the appointed time and completed the work in less time than I thought it would take.  They encouraged us to call them if there were any problems, and they'd be come back to fix anything needed.

I made an appointment for an estimate Matt arrived on time. I had an estimate in 30 minutes. Based on the samples he showed me. We discussed their special channel trim. That is what sold me, it looked just like the trim that there. This was August. He told me they were booked until November/ December depending on weather. He called end of November beginning of December told me they were going to start the Monday after Christmas. They did and went to town we had one peculiar door frame to the cellar half butting stone half butting siding they consulted me if it would be  OK to use a regular rather than the special channel I agreed and they proceeded. two days later when I returned to the site they informed me that the look of the regular channel was not up to their standards and replaced it with their special channel. I was really impressed! The rest of the job progressed without a hitch. they cleaned up, left some repair pieces and made sure the house numbers had enough contrast against the siding. They are really good. I am very happy with the work they did for me and they made me laugh to boot!

  

We liked them very much.  They were very prompt and responsive.  They came to do the estimate when they said they would and also came to do the work when they said they would. They did a great job.  They were friendly and very professional.

Initially, I emailed the company through Angie's List and did not hear from them for a month.  Their sales department rep recently called and made arrangements for someone to look (from the ground only) at the area I was concerned about.  Within 3-4 days, it was quoted and done.  I never signed a contract.  I knew if they came from Angie's List, I would not have to be concerned.  At this point, I owe them the full amount but I really need to see if the repair worked.  I'm going to send half and wait for a little rain/ice to see.  They were pleasant and professional.

Rich and team did an excellent job. Everyone in the crew was very professional, punctual, friendly and responsive. Rich was very good at answering questions and giving honest advice. Rich had the opportunity to sell us more expensive products on several occasions but advised against it and told us they weren’t worth the extra money, he was very honest. The work was completed on time and on budget. They didn’t do a rush job and made sure everything was the way we wanted it. They also did a good job cleaning up after themselves. I would definitely recommend Rich and his team to anyone who wants great looking siding.

Great - no problems at all. A bit of a delay in scheduling due to weather, but all went well and all looks great.

We recently hired Rich and his crew (Matt, Jason, Rocco, and Joel) to side our 2-family home. To give you a little background--We are budget-conscious homeowners. We bought a fixer upper and do a lot of the work ourselves. We have an extremely high bar for workmanship and have been disappointed by work done by contracted professionals on our house in the past. It has always been of lower quality than the work we do ourselves and of course costs us much more. However, when it came to our house exterior we did not have the time or ability to do it ourselves. And while we prefer the look of a painted house, our house was never going to look great painted because of the numerous terrible paint jobs done in the past and the inability to sand down an older home (lead paint concerns). Not to mention the cost--$10,000 per paint job and needing it every 7 years or so (our last paint job was 7 years ago and it looks terrible already).  
We decided to go with Certainteed Cedar Impression siding because of how close it looks to a nicely painted shingled home. We searched for contractors based on the best rated Angie?s list contractors and those on Certainteed?s website that were certified to use the materials. We had meetings with and quotes from 3 different contractors based on this search. Rich was one of these. We were floored by the estimates. Rich?s was the highest. But we decided to go with him. Why? Because we went and looked at houses done by each of the contractors, a dozen or so in all, and his were by far of the highest quality. They all looked beautiful and the attention to detail was evident. Particular care is taken with the molding around windows, doors, and at the roof line and with hiding j-channels, a surefire sign of a siding job. He has even invented his own trim to make it look even more like original wood trim, and it does. An untrained eye would be unable to tell that this was siding. And knowing that we were constrained by our budget, he worked with us to reach a compromise.  
Rich is a consummate professional and his customer service is impeccable. He showed up on time for our first meeting and spent a long time with us explaining the craftsmanship of the job. This is someone who takes pride in what he does. He uses the best materials and uses them correctly. When his estimated start time slipped (understandable for someone whose work is completely dependent upon weather), he was in contact, keeping us updated. He supplied us with addresses to look at colors and even nailed color samples to the house for us to look at. When we were having an outdoor party during the course of the work, they cleaned up all of their work areas, even the ones we didn?t need cleaned and even swept the patio. Rich had a back injury during the job and still showed up, insisting that he needed to be there to make sure everything was done the way he wanted it.  
Rich and crew have made every effort along the way to make sure that the product is exactly what we want, even losing time to redo things that weren?t how we wanted. Rich put in his trademark fan over our door, and the color was just the tiniest bit off due to an error on the supplier?s part. He pulled it down without any complaint and redid it, losing at least half a day of his time. They changed trim to our preference as well. In none of these interactions were we made to feel like we were putting them out when something needed to be changed. On the contrary, they insist that they want to have it done exactly to our preference. They have all gone out of their way to do an amazing job and it shows. Each one of the crew works with the same attention to detail, all trained by Rich. Our house went from looking the worst on our block to looking the best?no exaggeration. And our neighbors are all stopping by to tell us how wonderful it looks.  
We?ve realized that while Rich may cost more for a single job than some other contractors, in the end he is being paid less for his time because of the amount of time put into the job. That takes integrity. Do not trust anyone who tells you the job will take a few weeks. If they are doing it right it will take longer. We have a large house, but all told the work will take about 5 weeks, not including rain delays. And if you are really smart, you will hire Rich and his crew. I promise you won?t regret it. I give them 5 stars in everything, price included. For the quality of the job, it?s a bargain. Just go and look at some of his jobs and you?ll know what I mean. Everything else looks like a hack job in comparison. If we ever need siding work again, I just hope he hasn?t retired yet.

They came on schedule and finished on schedule.

Rocco and Matt showed up on time and were friendly, professional and (after the latest rain showed) effective. All you're looking for in someone you want to deal with.  I'd use them again.
