In gaining access to our attic via a gable, a squirrel had made a 2" hole in vinyl siding that General Building Supply had installed several years ago. We called them for a repair, and the next day they sent their installer to our home to look. He said that to perfectly repair the hole, we would need to replace the entire piece of siding, which now was available only by special order in two package bundles for $800. He suggested that we visit the shop and try to find a piece of scrap of the same color that we could use to make the repair from access we had from the interior. We did, and the staff there was extremely friendly and made helpful suggestions. We also had purchased replacement windows from them a few years ago, and we were very happy with the result.
Description of Work: Helped us figure out how to patch a squirrel hole in our siding using a scrap of siding of the same color.

We started with wanting new windows in our sunroom. GBS was the only company that worked with us to get top quality windows for that space that was always cold or hot. They were comparable in price with other companies, they were punctual, gave quality installation and checked with us later for our opinion of their work. We had them replaced all of our windows over a three year period. Excellent home town company.
Description of Work: Replaced all windows in our house.

They have a really good selection and they are always professional and courteous. They always run really good sales. They welcome me as soon as I go in and they don't ignore me. They offer wonderful discounts on mixed paint that people didn't want that they sell. They send out coupon books. They are really good for the neighborhood. Their prices are really good. They will look up items for me. I will absolutely continue to go there.
Description of Work: I bought rakes and some other items from General Building Supply. They are a hardware and supply store.

replacement windows

The salesman, David Jones, looked until he found the windows that met our needs. He brought the installer who was helpful. The windows are top of the line as are the doors. We can now use the room year round. The installation took about three days and was very professional. Each day all debris was removed. Now the price was expensive, but this was because of the huge custom sizes we required. We are having them come back and replace our front windows this year. We were very pleased.
Description of Work: We were looking for new windows for our sunroom--the originals were plastic. General Building Supply was to only company of the three we asked for estimates that tried to accommodate our needs. The windows are extra long and the walls are not standard. The others blew us off and tried to sell us windows for other rooms.

General Building is a reliable and dependable company. They provide a great depth of material availability and will search for "just" what you want.
Description of Work: General Building provided a detailed window replacement quote. We decided against replacing the windows due to the age of our home and wanting to keep it "original". General Building's quote was competitive with other quotes that we got at the time and had we decided to do the replacement, we would have used this company. They understood what we were looking for in the window styles and were going to actually have to make quite a few windows due to the architecture of our home. I am condfident that they would provide products and services as described.
