    Default House Siding Referrals

    Anyone have a referral for a GOOD siding guy to side my new construction? House is located in Romeo.

    We had to not use the guy we had lined up as he wanted payment up front, which we're not comfortable with (my GC is providing the materials, so it was labor only). Sorry, but I am not paying you upfront for labor that you promise to do.

    I know it’s only part of your list, but a few years ago, I used this guy for gutters at my Westland house. Good prices, good work and most importantly, showed up when he said he would.

    1st I have to get the Trim work done before gutters. Looks like he ONLY does gutters, but I will call him. Thanks

    Guys are getting $300 to $325 a sq LABOR ONLY for siding right now! Very hard to find anyone to do siding and trim that's good.

    J&R sheetmetal in Warren is the best for gutters, quality is art work. No pre-made fittings, everything is custom bent including down spout elbows.

    It is so hard to get good contractors right now. The best suggestion I have is to do the siding yourself - it's not that hard. It is time consuming though. The big areas go up quick, but it takes forever to do the detail work like soffits and such.

    Thanks guys - I'll keep the gutter recommendations in mind. We are seeing roughly $300 a square for labor.

    I'd love to just do it myself, but I don't have the time to do it with the other sweat equity items I am putting into the house. It's definitely not a small job - I think it's something like 50-55 square of siding.

    We're definitely finding it hard to get a good contractor out there.

    Holy balls! $15,000 to side your house? That's insane. I ended up doing my garage myself because I thought $1500 was too much.

    We used Mr roof, I screwed up some of the siding a couple months after the job was done. Lets say 10foot by 6foot area,They came and fixed my f**k up for free.... I cant sat enough good things about them.
