Never knew about life time warranty until last month, one of the window cracked. We didn't have any receipt or anything, just an email we did 14 years ago. We just contacted the company on their website and amazingly, they have the record by the address. The service department was so helpful, they contacted us and contacted the manufacturer to set up appointment with the case number to get it replaced. The windows were replaced 14 years ago in one day and we had many custom sized windows. The amazing thing is they know exactly which window that cracked by us describing the location of the window. Anlin Delmar (Milgard) called us and setup the appointment. They came and replaced the windows in a few hours. It was amazing and we're extremely happy. Now we know, go with the best and reputable company like Custom Exteriors and a good manufacturer like Anlin Delmar to have after service years after the work is done. Would we recommend Custom Exteriors and Anlin Delmar? The answer is obvious, YES.

Unfortunately, after a miscommunication about part of the project, which I thought we had resolved amicably (I compensated him for the materials he had already used), he later admitted he was upset and had been purposely avoiding my follow up communication. He left the original job on Friday saying he would return the following week to finish a few remaining items. After that, I spent over a month trying to get a response, with little to no communication and no explanation for this treatment. When I finally expressed my frustration, he admitted he had intentionally been ignoring me because of the earlier misunderstanding and offered to send someone to finish the outstanding tasks, "if that's what I was upset about." That level of unprofessionalism was far more disappointing than the few remaining tasks on the project. Misunderstandings happen, but they shouldn't result in giving a customer the silent treatment and leaving a job unfinished. I cannot recommend someone who responds to conflict by avoiding communication completely.

Miguel was very easy to work with and understood the challenges and took great care to be safe, do an exceptional job, ensure the neighbor's homes did not get damaged, cleaned up every day and kept me informed every step of the way. He and his crew work in the bay area and are used to working in these settings. I will definitedy use him on my other properties both for roofing and siding. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy who will do an exceptional job at a reasonable price in a reasonable time frame give Miguel a call.

Since this will be a detailed review, including photographs, and since not everyone may want to…read moreread through all of it, I'll list the main takeaways up front: 1) This company prioritizes keeping to their schedule over doing the work correctly. 2) There is a serious lack of oversight on projects. I also want this review to be balanced, so I'll say up front that there were certainly a number of thing that went well in my siding replacement project. But enough things went badly that I regret having chosen Golden State Builders to do the work. My project involved removing 60-year old cedar siding and replacing it with t1-11 plywood siding on the front of my house. I planned to stain rather than paint the siding, which is admittedly an unusual approach. And this entailed some additional complications, two of which I discussed with the foreman before work began. First, plywood cannot be left sitting in water. I therefore emphasized that the metal flashing beneath the siding could not be flush against the bottom, and that an air gap must be left so that the plywood can dry after rain. Regardless, the Z flashing was installed flush against the bottom (see photo below), and for long stretches tilted in toward the panels, which would have acted as a basin directing water toward them and holding it there. When I pointed this out, they removed the Z flashing, which left the underlying L flashing in a somewhat tattered-looking condition (see photo). Golden State apparently considers this to be aesthetically acceptable, and it's what's currently protruding from my wall. Second, although I ordered premium t1-11 panels for this project, such panels always vary in appearance. Some are almost entirely "clean" while others have visible patch marks or major color irregularities. I therefore asked the foreman to place the dirtier panels on the right side of my house, where they would be largely hidden by foliage, and the clean panels on the left side, where they would be immediately visible to visitors and passersby. Despite this, the crew installed one of the dirtiest panels on the left side of the house (see photo). For various reasons I did not demand that they redo this, but it's indicative of a general lack of attention to customers' stated preferences. On the right side of my house, the new siding extended a little farther out than the original siding had. Consequently , it ran up against, and overlapped with, a wood fence that touches the right wall of the house. Rather than removing the obstruction, or even consulting with me to see what I wanted done, they made the remarkable decision to bend the plywood panel at the end (see photo). This could have led to delamination and other structural problems down the road, apart from not looking very nice or professionally done. But it was clearly the fastest way for them to "fix" the problem and get on to the next job. Now, the thing about all of these issues is that none of them were identified by the company itself. And the reason is that there was no effective oversight of the work crew. The onus was entirely on me to spot and report them. Once I did so, they acknowledged them and fixed (most of) them. (There were other smaller ones I won't go into here.) But clearly, the formula seems to be: if the customer doesn't know enough or doesn't check carefully enough to complain, leave it and move on. The problem here falls mainly on the project managers. My original one disappeared as soon as work started, and consequently exercised no oversight. He was replaced by a second one once I started pointing out problems, but that second one likewise identified no issues on his own, despite the fact that some were discovered (by me) only after he was put on the job. Good project managers visit worksites daily and inspect work closely. Golden State's project managers do not do this. I would identify this as the primary issue with my project. Golden State would probably argue that the main problem was the foreman. They claim to have fired him immediately after my job, but if that's even true, it's small consolation to learn that the work has been done by someone worth firing. But I would say that the onus falls on the project managers, who are simply not doing their jobs, and on management, which is probably encouraging or at least tolerating this behavior. Look, if your idea of siding replacement is throwing up some hardie board and painting it, then these guys will probably do a decent job. But if anything more complicated or detail-oriented is involved, you're probably better off hiring a small local contractor rather than a large outfit juggling many jobs over an extended area. I wish I had.

We were in the market to repaint our hundred-year-old Craftsman home, and to be honest, we were…read moreextremely cautious. About ten years ago, we had a very poor experience with a painter who used improper preparation materials and techniques that were not suitable for a home of this age and type of wood siding. We ended up stopping the project midway and settling for a basic paint job from someone else just to move on. This time, we wanted our home properly repaired and thoughtfully restored. After watching a neighbor's home be beautifully prepped and painted by Level Five Painting, we were genuinely impressed and decided to reach out. The owner, Juan, came out for a walk-through and quote. He was gracious, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. We immediately felt we could trust him and didn't feel the need to get other quotes. Our home was assigned to the project manager, Ivan, along with Juan and Daniel, who handled the preparation and painting. They spent about three weeks -- Monday through Saturday; meticulously sanding, repairing, priming, and painting. We were blown away by Juan and Daniel's work ethic. They worked incredibly hard, stayed focused, and treated our home and property with the utmost respect. Every day, they left the worksite clean, organized, and well cared for. Ivan was wonderful to work with as he was responsive, communicative, and present throughout the project. He checked in frequently, answered our questions quickly, and made sure everything stayed on track. What truly set this team apart was their deep knowledge of their craft and the pride they take in their work. Their level of professionalism, skill, and work ethic is something that, sadly, feels increasingly rare these days. It was refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about doing things the right way. The final result exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did they revive our Craftsman home, but they also corrected many of the issues left behind from prior poor workmanship. Our home now looks refreshed, cohesive, and truly ready for its next chapter. Because of the quality of their work and the trust they earned, we've already booked Level Five Painting for our next project -- preparing and staining the interior wood trim throughout our home. We highly, highly recommend Level Five Painting.
