They were professional and thorough from the initial visit, and even though I waited a few months to schedule the work, they honored the original quote without issue. Installation was quick and efficient. When the moulding didn't match my existing one, they replaced it with something much closer. They also followed up after the job and coordinated with an Anlin technician to fix a few minor issues. And they worked well alongside other contractors I had on-site, which made things much easier. Overall, they honored their word at every step, were easy to work with, and delivered quality results. I'd definitely recommend them.

I think 3 came up in my area of Pine Valley in San Diego County and I had all 3 come out to give me a bid along with 2 other siding contractors that could install Hardie Board. One bid was high, 3 bids were comparable and one was low. Turns out Mike and Jesus, owners of CertEx, installed our windows with another company 12 years ago but has since started their own company. I didn't choose CertEx because I worked with Mike and Jesus in the past. I chose them because they didn't blow smoke up my ass like other "Approved" and "Elite" contractors approved by James Hardie. I chose them because their price seemed fair. It wasn't high or low. I chose them because my gut said, "You can trust this contractor". Guess what? I was right. The team did an amazing job. So meticulous. I can't get past that. They did not skimp or cut corners. Their attention to detail was beyond expectation. The workers at my home were Carlos, Arturo and Pumba. They were great!!! Such great workers. If I didn't respect CertEx and their workers as I did, I'd try to poach them for my work because they were amazing. Thank You CertEx and all workers involved. Your work was point on. Exact. It doesn't get better than this. I'll update the "after" pictures once paint, lights and chimney wrap is installed. Thank You CertEx. Your work is amazing as is your employees.

If I could give 100 stars, I absolutely would!!…read more From start to finish, working with CERTEX was truly such a positive experience. I needed to replace an old aluminum sliding door, nine single pane windows throughout my home, and replace the siding above my garage. I received multiple quotes, but CERTEX immediately stood out. Not only was their pricing competitive and inclusive of quality materials and a solid warranty, but I genuinely felt comfortable and confident moving forward with them. Mike, the owner, is truly one of the good ones. He is honest, transparent, and incredibly easy to talk to. At no point did I feel pressured or upsold. He took the time to walk me through everything and made sure I felt confident in every decision. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in doing things the right way. The transformation to my home has been amazing. The new windows completely changed both the exterior look and how the inside feels. It is brighter, cleaner, and so much more updated. The siding repair also made a HUGE difference to the front of the house. Everything looks modern, polished, and cohesive now. It honestly made me fall in love with my home all over again. I met with Mike's business partner, Jesus, every morning, which I really appreciated. One of the things that meant the most to me was his communication and attention to detail. Jesus kept me informed on when they were arriving and what the plan was for the day. I never once felt out of the loop. Their crew was professional, respectful, and incredibly kind. (Big shoutout to David, Jose, and the rest of the team!) They cleaned up at the end of each workday, kept everything organized, and treated my home with care. Truly an amazing group of professionals who exceeded my expectations. When it came time for the final invoice, there were absolutely no surprises. It was exactly what I was quoted and signed for. If you are considering window or siding work, or any of the other services they offer, I 110% recommend CertEX. You will be in great hands and will not regret it. I enjoyed the entire process and absolutely love the results. I am already looking forward to having them back for more projects.

2.5 stars: My siding looks beautiful due to Christian's…read moregreat employees and due to my diligence/flexibility and my major cost shifting techniques Christian's behavior led me to undertake. The process to get to almost the end point has however been pretty awful. I have read the older reviews and am amazed, because the Christian I dealt with these past 50 days was extremely different from what other reviewers describe. My opinion is Christian is very high strung and explosive these days. It is for this reason that I write this review. While on my property for a sliding and window installation, Christian had three self instigated yelling episodes, once even to another contracting service. Christian, you see, had a 10 million dollar home to side after mine and said he was behind on my job due to the window delay. The window issue caused a one day delay. Health issues in one of his employees caused a 10 day delay. Holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years) caused a 6 day delay. I ended up placing a change order request to eliminate Christian's company from trimming the interior to my windows because I became afraid that Christian would have another explosive interaction. Christian also seemed quite unable to manage his moneys for my job, twice asking for money days ahead of completion of scheduled work. He also used my contract to order materials for another job. Thankfully, I was able to get a lin release, but it was only given to me AFTER removing the material from my property and while job was still less than 50% completed. Some of the material he took away that day was needed to complete my corner railing, so a makeshift corner was placed that is chipped and needs fixed. Even though he was contracted to caulk siding and nail holes, Christian told me his workers aren't as good at that aspect of the job, that I would be better off getting a painter to do that work. I had no problem with doing that until Christian refused to credit me for the cost of caulking that was shifted to a painter. Instead Christian continues to insist that I pay him for the caulking job his team did not complete. Christian has gone as far as to state in writing that both caulking and flashing are not required when installing Hardie siding. He also said that he isn't responsible for insulating windows, just for plumbing them in the jambs. Hardie manufacturer, Azek manufacturer, window installers and an independent 3rd party inspector all tell me Christian is wrong. Pretty certain that the CA Licensing Board will also tell me Christian he is wrong. Christian left my job unfinished. I have 32 feet of missing trim in the front of my house, damaged trim at the water table and on the front corner of my railing. I have 3 windows only partially installed/shims sticking out 4 inches into my room. Christian also removed waterproofing from around my basement door and opened up the door jamb above the door in order to re-trim it, but never finished that project either. He was suppose to come back to complete the loose ends 2 Fridays ago, but never showed up. Instead, that weekend he sent me the final installation invoice, which included paying for all these loose ends, even though they were never completed. Christian insists he is correct in his billing practices and that I am misinformed. I am turning the issues over to the CA Licensing Board for their help as Christian has not followed through to finish the contracted project. He has forced me to get others to finish a job he was suppose to complete. I am extremely worried about this contractor. Christian keeps demanding money for work not completed. Sadly, Christian has breeched my contract. The work that was completed is pretty. When Christian wasn't on site, all went smoothly and hiccups were addressed and resolved. When Christian showed up (thankfully only a few days during the entire job) everything became difficult with excuses for the hiccups, no fixes to resolve the hiccups. I give 2.5 stars to this establishment overall, 5 stars for Christian's employees (Hahns and Bart), sadly 0 stars for owner Christian.

I had five different stucco companies come out to give me a bid for repair work around a window, and John was the only one who actually started from a place of curiosity, asking me questions about the issue. You can tell right away that he's a person of solid character who has also mastered his craft. He took the time to first understand my problem, and then he walked me through the solution with so much patience and clarity (never condescending, just genuinely helpful). Not only was his bid very competitive, but he even took the time to review a competitor's quote with me and pointed out exactly where I was being overcharged for work I didn't even need. He and his son, Garrison, are really solid people. Even though he's a stucco expert and not a leak detection specialist, he went well above and beyond by helping me troubleshoot with a water test to make sure we found the actual source of the leak. For the stucco work that was required, he handled the repairs beautifully. Just as importantly, John identified work that wasn't necessary.
