CHWALA'S CONSTRUCTION INC

We decided to get three bids for our project. Our house is about 35 years old and the windows needed replacement. We had the old Masonite siding that was starting to get soft and spongy in spots so we decided to get new siding as long as we were doing the windows. All three companies were very professional, timely and thorough. The cost varied quite a bit due to some of the materials each carried. Seamless steel was much more costly but did have some benefits. We knew pretty early in the process that we would probably pick Chwala's Construction. Bill Chwala, the owner visited with us and explained his products and services. He did the measuring and submitted his bid. While looking at the house and discussing the project, Bill suspected that something was wrong with the way our soffit access to the roof was insulated and explained how it should be done correctly. He also suggested that we look for our own entry Door and he would install it for a fee. The other bids included pricing for an entry door that was double what we ended up purchasing at Lyman Lumber. Bill suggested that we go with insert windows from Parco, a local manufacturer. We visited their facility and saw how the windows were made and met the workers. It was very educational. We decided to go with the inserts to keep the original wood trim and window casements. The windows are measured to fit the opening of the existing window casement. Bill was easy to contact during the process. He returned calls and kept us up to date as the materials arrived. He helped us by timing the ordering of the door to arrive when the siding and windows were ready. The project started very close to the tentative date Bill gave us early in the process. The two workers showed up on a Monday and worked daily until the projects was complete. We had a few follow up visits as we had to wait a few extra days for the gutters. And, we had the same two workers throughout the project. Dale and Steve were just as committed to our being satisfied with the finished product as Bill was. It amazed me how fast they worked and how they figured out how to make everything come together. They offered solutions and pointed out things that we might want to do now as the work was being performed. One such item was to install electric outlets on our deck. As Bill suspected, the sills under the soffit had never been insulated properly. They cut open all the soffit. Installed the air shoots and insulated with batting. Then they cut open the gables and blew in insulation. We went with a high grade vinyl siding. The product is much thicker and stiffer than some of the products I've seen in the past. Vinyl also offered us much more color options than steel. The windows from Parco are stained on the inside to match our original woodwork. You need to get close to them to notice that they are not one unit. They look and function beautifully. We have done enough projects to know that none go perfectly. You always run into issues. The difference is in how the problems are handled. The two concerns we had were handled quickly and without question to our satisfaction. Bill wanted us to be completely happy with the finished product, and we are. Not only would we recommend Chwala's construction, We would highly suggest them.

I called their office to find out about getting a new roof for my home. I talked to a lady at the office and she told me that she would have someone contact me the next day. I haven't received a call from them.

They are pretty good. Bill Chwala is the owner. Last year they did the kitchen roof. They are very friendly. I don't think they are the cheapest but I think they are honest. We didn't get any other estimates.
