Called and spoke with John who was great. He came out to get details and gave us a couple of different options. We placed the order and he even called me to let me know of a special that was running to see if I wanted to switch. The door came in as described and was installed the next day. The installers were very professional and cleaned up when they were finished. We had one issue with the door and had to order a replacement part. It seemed to take a while to get the part in but when it did arrive, it was installed right away. We will call them for future bids!!
Description of Work: We ordered a sliding glass door and had them install it.

Communication with sales started and an estimate was promptly done. The start date was as discussed. The crew was prompt and personable. There was some disconnect between the leads on the job and the salesperson, but we communicated directly with the leads and everything was done as we were expected. The guys on the job seemed to take pride in their work and it showed. Our home was built in 1920. They tore off orginal siding. They kept the character and integrity of the home with the work they did. It wasn't just putting up new siding.....the trim work resembled the original trim. The job was finished within the time they quoted. We had a great experience with Beissel.
Description of Work: Old siding torn off and new cement siding was installed, along with all new decorative trim work. Some new windows were installed as well and minor electrical work.

Description of Work: Jeff and his crew replaced 6 windows in just hours! My home and yard were in impeccable condition after the installation. We could not be more satisfied.

How did it go? It was great! We had a rain delay for a day, but I felt relieved that Ed and his associates didn't want to work on ladders when the weather was wet. They are professionals! The house looks great and I am very pleased. It is really comforting to know that you have a work crew that is trustworthy, skilled, and honest.
Description of Work: I contracted for Beissel to surface my fascia and sofit with vinyl coated aluminum and to side areas of my cedar home that are difficult to reach with metal, vinyl coated, siding. I'd had Beissel side another area ( very high peaks) of my home with identical siding several years ago. The work was flawless. The fact that Beissel has been in business for 62 years gave me the significant assurance that all warranties on materials and labor would be honored, should there ever be a need for warranty work. While I love the rough cedar of my home, so have the woodpeckers. They have done significant damage over the 30 years I've been in my house. I always was able to climb the 30 ft. extension ladders myself to effect repairs, but as age 70 gets nearer, that has become a foolish, if not dangerous endeavor. I decided that this would be the year to metal side those portions of my house that are dangerous to reach. There was no question that I would return to Beissel for the work. I called Mike Scott, the representative with whom I'd worked previously. He was at my house within a day to discuss the job and within 48 hours i had a confirmed price.

Disappointing communication from the beginning made me worry that it might be the same with my job..
Description of Work: I contacted Beissel Window and Siding to get a quote. I was given a good reference from a neighbor who used them plus found them on Angies list. When I called the gentlemen I talked to remembered doing my neighbors work and the area. He came out when I was at work and looked at the job but it was raining. After that he disappeared and I wasn't able to get ahold of him by phone or e-mail for about 3 weeks. Right before I was about to make my final decision I contacted him again to see if he was at all interested in providing me a quote. Supprisingly I reached him and he said he would look again and provide it shortly. I then did receive a very detailed and good quote from him via e-mail and then a copy by mail but have to say I was worried about how hard it had been to that point to get any response from him.

Insulation process was great once we got install dates set up (I know insulation installers were extremely busy last fall). Everyone was very nice and easy to talk to. Was super fast. They even noticed some issues with how a bathroom fan was connected (or lack of connection/ventilation) and fixed that for me. Beissel also submitted rebate paperwork for me which helped so much. Thank you! Will be contacting you again soon for other projects.

The install team was unable to complete the work on the original date in December due to weather. We had a series of schedule conflicts due to vacations and illness on both the customer and vendor sides, but finally coordinated a new date in early March. By that time ice dams had formed on the roof. The install team cleared the entire roof, and shoveled the carriageway between the sidewalk and the road as well. Their work was very thorough and we're certainly pleased with the result.
Description of Work: Added blown rock-wool insulation in 4 crawl spaces, and a ridge vent in the roof for improved air flow. Also insulated and wrapped attic access doors. Beissel's initial estimate was to add insulation under the floor boards in the crawl spaces and higher vents in all 4 areas. The actual insulation team determined that there was adequate insulation under the floor boards and added insulation over the flooring for more R value. The initial plan for more roof vents was not workable due to the roof/attic configuration, so they installed a ridge vent instead for maximum venting.

I had basement windows installed. After they installed them, they had to cement them in. As they cemented them in, on the platform, on the base where the window is standing, I am disappointed with the way it looks and it is all bumpy. It should be smoothed out, but it is too bumpy and the cement is falling apart. It just looks disgusting. It is so hard to clean. It is all cemented, but it just does not look good. I am not pleased with it at all. They never came out to inspect the work after the fact. That would be common sense to me to come out and look at the work that has been done.

I was very pleased with their work. I have worked with them in the past and they went over backwards to help me with the insurance company and got me additional funds from the insurance company to help pay for the damaged roof. He went overboard to help me out with the insurance company. They have always been very good. Sometimes I think they are a little high on price and you can get things done for cheaper but I over look that because I know they will always do quality work.

I contacted Beissel to give me an estimate on attic insulation. Theirs was the second one I received. The representative was very responsive in getting back to my online request for an estimate although I was a bit upset that he called around 8:30pm and not during the day when I asked to be called. He showed up for the appointment on time but was so vague in his explanation of services that I was left more confused than before he arrived. He didn't answer my questions clearly but made a point of telling me repeatedly that they were the best in the business. It felt like a slimy sales pitch without much substance. Neither of the other 2 companies I received estimates from had this approach. His estimate was also considerably higher by a few hundred dollars than either other company. I did not hire them to do the work.

The rep (sorry, forgot his name :-( ) came out with several brochures showing the doors they offer, including all the window styles and materials. We discussed the positives and negatives of the various styles and he was able to give us an estimate right away. When the total came up higher than expected, he suggested a less expensive door for the garage and pointed out which glass options would be more expensive (so we could avoid them). To be honest, I was a bit taken aback by the quote, since any big box home improvement store circular shows entry doors cheap. But those ARE cheap doors (I read up on one home improvement chain's house brand and many people reported spending lots of time fixing poor assembly, peeling paint, and so on). They're also stock styles and sizes, too, so if you don't like what you see, you might be able to special order but it won't be circular price. You also get to haul those doors home on your own. Then you get to install a door -- a task I've never done before and which, well, a poorly installed door can cause expensive damage you can't see for a long time. This isn't a Beissel scare tactic; it's just a homeowner who knows his limits. No question I would hire out the job. And I'd prefer to give the job to a company which treats its employees well enough to keep them around and show they're valued by paying them a living wage. Quality materials and skilled labor doesn't come cheap. But then again, we were replacing doors which were almost 40 years old. We probably won't ever have to do this again. So we stretched the budget a bit. The doors had to be ordered, so there was some lead time. We were concerned because we wanted to take advantage of the Energy Star rebate (due end of the year), but Beissel managed to get us the paperwork in time. When it was time to install the doors, four guys showed up with two vans full of doors and tools. In about four hours, they had removed the old doors, cleaned up the openings, installed the new doors and the hardware, and cleaned up after themselves. They worked carefully and neatly, and it was obvious this crew had worked together on more than a few jobs. They were respectful and considerate and neat and took whatever time it took to ask me questions about how I wanted things done. They also showed me how everything worked and had me inspect the work before I signed off on it. The doors have gotten several compliments from the neighbors and we like the way they have transformed the look of the house. They work smoothly and seal very well and, even for all the glass in them, are more energy efficient than the wood doors they replaced. We're set for another 40-50 years.
Description of Work: Replaced two entry doors, a screen door, and a garage service door.

They were helpful enough to show me how to receive an energy-efficient rebate on my income taxes for the project. They are so customer-oriented. I started out with an email inquiry. They were out within a day for the estimate. They workers were very efficient and cleaned up very well after they replaced the windows. They also took away the old windows for me.
