Ryan D.

I think the siding looks great, right now, but, my concern is with the longevity and durability of the siding based on the various issues I continue to find. It just feels like if these little things were overlooked, or worse, intentionally ignored, what does that say about the things I can't see? Are there proper expansion gaps? Are the nails hammered in too tight or incorrectly? Were the manufacturers required nailing patterns followed? Anyway, here is the list of issues I feel should have been completed as part of the $19,500 job. Minor, maybe, but again it's about trusting the work I can't see. I wasn't monitoring the complete demo of the old siding but it was obvious from the contents of the dumper that a fair amount of tar paper was removed along with the old siding and I was surprised it wasn't replaced or at the very least brought to my attention so I could address it. I fear this will cause issues in the future but it's obviously too late to rectify this. A large portion of my house doesn't have any protection under the siding now. On the list of things it's too late to fix, I find it strange that a professional siding crew would install the seams facing the street. I always thought and was confirmed when speaking with other contractors, it was common practice to make the seams as invisible as possible which means they should be facing the rear of the house. The wires for the cable/internet were never reattached to the house. I'm assuming the siding crew thought this was the job of the electricians but clearly, they didn't think it was. A few times a week we can hear them flapping against the house. The fence wasn't reattached either. We have no floodlights on the side of the house now, they worked before work started, and now they don't. It could just be the bulbs, but it could also be an issue with the wiring, either way, I have to now break out the ladder, climb up 15' and find out. The back gutter drains directly onto the walkway we use to get into the backyard which means with the cold weather comes a nice thick layer of ice on our walkway to contend with. Not directly the siding crew but the gutter installation was part of the overall project I paid for. And lastly, probably the issue that annoys me the most because I see it every day and I know if it's not resolved it will cause an issue in the future is the lack of sealant around the wires and conduit entering the house. See photos. Not only does this just look sloppy (just a chunk taken out of the siding to allow the wires to enter) but without any sealant, water will just flow down the siding and directly onto the unprotected sheathing (see issue one). There are four of said openings in the side of the house now. Overall, not impressed with a company that has great reviews.

Brian and his team did a great job. Its like a brand-new house!

Brian and his team did an excellent job. I had a new roof, siding and gutters done and was very impressed with everyone involved. His crews showed up on time, worked very hard, and didn't leave a mess. Brian was very easy to get in touch with throughout and he explained our options clearly and helped me understand what I was getting, when I'd get it, and how much getting it would cost. No surprises, which is really what you want with projects like these. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone interested who needs roofing, siding or gutters work done.

My DAMN house

I would not recommend to hire FRG to do your flat rubber roof!!!…read more In summer 2023 FRG came to redo the roof drain cap which was never installed properly at the first place by them back in Feb 2019. The roof has leaked every year since then and had 3-4 repairs. In April 2024, the roof drain clogged again(we have no trees around). The roof rain water seeped through under the roof drain compression ring, then flew down to the outside the drain pipe directly into the first floor bathroom wall and the basement floor. Fabio blame the leak caused by the drain pipe itself, not the roof. The drain pile has no integrity issue simply because after the roof drain debris cleared, the water leak has not occurred unless there is a heavy rain. And this only happened after FRG reinstalled the drain cover in summer of 2023. He did not apply for the building permit for this job either. To make the situation even worse, Fabio send me a $600+ bill for climbing up to the roof to check the leak and clearing the roof debris showed in the photo. But the roof leak is not fixed! I am a 30+ year real estate professional and have referred him a few jobs in the past. Sorry Fabio, not a job end up like this. What a nightmare.

Thank you FRG for the prompt services and professionalism…read more We are very pleased with our project Their patient staff is amazing and they are very kind and knowledgeable Thanks for taking the time to understand our needs and waking us through the process , explaining options and redirecting us to the best options available Communication and timeline were essential for us and they managed to Excel Throughout the years we have done many Renovation projects and we truly appreciate the value of a good service Looking forward for our next project
