I had used Butch Medlin and his crew at Distinctive Homes before and knew that he did a first-rate job on roofing and related repairs, so I called him again for this job at my mother-in-law's home. They did not disappoint, doing a superb job from beginning to end. Butch was prompt in arriving to review the proposed work on 6/3, prompt in submitting the repair quote (next day) and prompt in completing the work in three days (finished on 6/10). This work was "part 2" of a project which was necessary due to faulty concrete which had caused water damage to outside storage room walls, where water leaked into the storage room and then into garage. (Part 1 was the tearing out and repouring of concrete by Eugene Wigginton - see separate Angie's list review for Eugene's excellent work.) This project had three components (see detail) and Butch personally worked on the project along with three others. Butch noted that there was significant deterioration of studs in the storage room and went the extra mile to ensure the walls were stable prior to replacing the siding. The area outside the storage room truly looks "better than new" after the painting, caulking and extra trim boards were added. On the outside front of the house, most all the work was at the second story level. They removed deteriorated boards, replaced them, then caulked and repainted. They repaired and repainted a front door sidelight and also fixed and tightened up a gutter at no extra charge. I would not hesitate to use Butch again for any home repair items. I could not be more pleased, nor could my mother-in-law, for whom the work was done. She has already told friends about the excellent work.
Description of Work: 1. Removed, replaced, caulked and repainted lower 30 inches of stucco board siding along back side of storage room which had holes in it which caused water to leak into storage room. Shored up studs which had deteriorated due to water damage. Removed old tar which previously adjoined outside storage room and storage shed. 2. Removed, replaced, caulked and repainted deteriorated boards on front second story of house. 3. Repaired front door sidelight where panel was water damaged. Paint sidelights on both sides of front door.

Distinctive Homes was recommended to me by a general contractor. I called Butch to schedule an estimate. Two of his employees stopped by that same evening to look over the areas that needed work. The next day, I was sent a quote for the work. I agreed to the quote and was given a start date which would be during the next week. During the entire process, they kept me up-to-date about their progress and explained any delays (for example it took an extra day to track down some matching shingles). I am very happy with the end result. All of the employees were very polite and knowledgeable. I would certainly use them again.
Description of Work: I had several pieces of rotten trim replaced and painted as well as several shingles replaced (not initially installed by this contractor) that had blown off the roof. They replaced all my rotten wood pieces with non-wood alternately materials which will hold up to the elements better.
