siding
+ -1 moreThey did a beautiful job. I have never been so happy with work done on my house. This is a family run company who doesn't use subcontractors and they take alot of pride in their work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs something done on their house or business. Clean up was good. They remove everything and take it in their truck so you don't have an ugly dumpster taking up your driveway for four days.
Description of Work: Tore off alimininum siding and replaced with vinyl siding, trim and new gutters.

+ 3 moreWe have used Sparks and Sommers for the past eight years on various projects. Our success with them was the key to their selection for this more significant project. They were very reachable, very affordable and promptly addressed some things that came up during the remodeling and some changes in direction on our part. They had an office fire early in the project which impacted our ability to square away paperwork for energy credits and such, but our past experience with them and the extenuating circumstances of the fire were taken into consideration for our rating.
Description of Work: Sparks and Sommers was part of a major remodeling project on our existing home. Their portion included new window installation and remodeling six rooms on several floors including carpentry and new doors.

siding, pavers, gravel
+ 0 moreHe did an okay job. The job wasn't finished and I had to contract it out with somebody else who is going to finish it for me. I paid for the part he did and he was supposed to be doing some brick work too and it's been several months so I decided to contract it with somebody else. It looks really good. It's not 100% but it looks better than what I had. He couldn't get it done because his son is apparently a union worker and he doesn't know when he can get the time off and I would just have to wait. It also for having stone work done, resurfacing the front of my entrance way from the front of my garage and the entrance way to the side of the house. They actually took the brick off of the garage and left it exposed for a long time. He wasn't the worst but he wasn't the best, he's just in the middle. His price was fair for what he did so far.
Description of Work: I've used Sparks and Sommers for gutter repair. He did the siding for me, replaced all the trims and the eaves on my house.

insulation
+ -1 moreI am so glad we had it done. Our home is so much warmer, and soon, it will be so much cooler (our upstairs rooms used to get so hot in the summer). Sparks and Sommers was great all around. Punctual, friendly, professional, and they did all paperwork to receive a rebate from our gas company. Thank You Sparks and Sommers!
Description of Work: We had insulation added to our attic and in the crawl space above our front porch.

roofing
+ -1 moreBecause the garage siding color was no longer available, what should have been a job requiring only a few pieces of siding looked like it'd require completely re-siding at least one whole elevation of the garage structure. Since the damage occurred on the rear elevation, paying several hundred dollars to re-side the whole exposure didn't make sense. Instead, they were able to remove siding from the front of the garage and I had vinyl shake siding used to replace it. This actually made the garage look better and addressed the storm damage. The roof was repaired with OSB and some shingles. I had white vinyl soffit, aluminum trim and aluminum seamless gutters installed on my house. Both the gutters and trim look much better than both of my adjacent neighbor's houses (not that it's a competition), so that should say something about the quality of the siding installation and gutter work. They sub-contract the seamless gutters and I did have to have the gutter contractor out two additional times to address issues that weren't addressed properly the first time due to communication problems. The gutter contractor also, for some reason, added a gutter and down spout to my house in an area that I really did not want one. In the end all my concerns were addressed. I would absolutely use these guys again. Great family business. We need more companies like this today.
Description of Work: Storm damage on garage from fallen tree was repaired. Siding on the rear of garage was ripped off by the tree, as well as some minor damage to the roof. Additionally, I had my vinyl soffit, aluminum trim and new gutters fitted to my house.

handyman service, siding
+ 0 moreSee above. It explains everything. It did not go at all. As to the provider's comment below... they never ONCE contacted me to inform me of any delay or status of the job. The only communication I had with them was done so because I contacted them. That is just not good customer service. I can deal with delays, but not when things go radio silent.
Description of Work: I am a landlord with several rental properties. I used a specific handyman for many years who did excellent work but moved out of town recently. I have since been experimenting with different companies in an effort to establish a new long term relationship for my repair needs. I generally hire a company for a very small job first and then increase my usage based on each progressive experience. Called S&S for an estimate to replace some siding that was damaged in a windstorm before thanksgiving. Its a small job (only 300 sq feet). Estimate was completed fairly quickly and approved for project commission. Company noted that they were very busy with the upcoming holiday and the job would likely be completed the week after Thanksgiving. The week came and went, with no contact. I called them again and they said they were busy and sorry and that the job would be done within a week or so. Two more weeks passed with no contact. I called them on Dec 23rd to find out what the heck was happening, and the lady informed me that they experienced a death in the family, for which I extended my condolences. She told me the job was going to be done likely before New Years. While I feel for them with respect to the death in the family, I was jerked around for over a month with absolutely NO communication prior to their unfortunate incident, so I feel compelled to still leave this review. This property is one of my many rental properties and this unprofessional behavior makes me look like a really crummy landlord. I now have very upset tenants (understandably), and no amount of excuse or apology from S&S is going to make it better. I called around today and found another company who could do the job tomorrow for the same price and I decided to pull the plug on S&S. While they were very apologetic, they clearly did not warrant my job or need as a priority. I feel misled, ignored and lied to. I will never contact them again for future repairs.

+ 1 moreThe price was competitive and the performance was good and I was surprised at the level of supervision. They were very well organized. They did a little gutter repair for me which was a part of the job. They also did insulation for me. I am benefiting from that now in the cold weather. They were a little slow in some areas but they were right there.

gutter repair, siding
+ 0 moreI was in a hurry to get this house done so I had 3 Angie's List contractors come out. I had an appointment that day and explained that to each over the phone. I also explained to each that I just wanted basic plain nothing fancy, standard vinyl siding and the main motivating factor for me was price. The other people who came wanted to sell me on and quot;betterand quot; siding and for me on this job again my only interest was price for standard siding. He saw I was in a hurry, took a look around, and sent me the bid in the mail. He was even with 1 other for lowest bid. But they are a professional company who have been in the neighborhood for years. They had other products that would last longer, and are capable of preforming more elaborate work but he listened to what I was saying to meet my needs and didn't waste my time trying to sell me something I know I didn't want. I was concerned at one point about some vents that where being covered up and the crew leader took the time to explain why it was no longer necessary. He double checked with the city to make sure it was up to code. We use a house fan a lot in the summer and I wanted to make sure that air flow wouldn't be compromised. With the soffet vents and ridge vent on my roof the air flow is just fine. The entire crew was professional and the job was completed on time as promised. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Replaced siding and gutters.
