Recently had trim, siding, roofing, painting and fireplace repair done by this company. First of all Dave and Hal did an excellent job of diagnosing issues. They were very thorough and explained everything very well despite our many questions. I appreciate their expertise! They went above and beyond any contractor that had previously done work at our house. They ensured crews showed up and knew their assignments. Any work done was cleaned up by the end of the day each day. They completed a final walk through to ensure satisfaction. Do not hesitate to use this company. Their combined expertise solved years old issues for us and our house now looks beautiful again! Thanks so much!!! read more

I checked with three companies about painting the outside trim and windows of my 120 year old Tudor home. JD Hostetter offered the best price. In fact, the first place I checked with gave me a price for doing half the work. (I was going to paint the downstairs to save money.) However, JD Hostetter offered to do the entire house for the same price. They were professional, efficient, and fast. The outside of the house looks great. I highly recommend them. read more

I am beyond impressed with the job they did at my house! I had massive issues with my siding and trim from it being installed incorrectly nearly 20 years ago, and the crew came in and did an excellent job. I'm way too used to contractors not being meticulous about details, but every last part of my siding and trim now look amazing. Additionally, they could have easily come in and told me I needed all the siding replaced (as other companies did), but rather they ensured that they only replaced what was needed and fixed what could be to avoid higher costs to me. I would 100% use them again and plan to recommend them to others in my neighborhood who have the same issues with how their house was built. read more

Would not recommend. The communication from the office and the crews was very, very poor. We were not told when any of the work was going to start, resulting in crews showing up to our home unannounced on two different occasions. We were also not told when the job was complete and there were multiple items left outside of our home by the crews. The job itself was acceptable but the lack of communication by everyone involved was very frustrating. read more

The sales people that represent a company are always an indicator of what you can expect from a company. This companies salespersons lack of response to email or calls, inability to provide an estimate days after it was promised, and uncomfortable interest in my profession provided insight into the ambition of this sales person or company only goal of making money. Unfortunately, I heard more about ripping everything out, about how this should be an install instead of a repair without one nail being removed or even a ladder being used. I mean who doesn't show up to do an estimate for exterior work in polished black leather boots. To make matters worse the companies sales person never asked me what my goals were for the project, budget, and or even for a timeline for the project. Sadly, the main focus centered around payment and how quickly they would get the job done. Although, I did not ultimately hire this company for the facts outlined above. Please do your own research on this company before hiring them, but it should tell you alot about the seriousness of this company when the person doing the estimate doesn't dress for job. read more

I want to begin by saying it is highly unlikely that I will ever use or even recommend JD Hostetter & Associates to anyone. My experience with their company was very disappointing. Their work crew would show up unannounced without a courteous call letting me know they would be at my home working. They did a terrible job of following through with the agreed upon scope of work in the contract. I had to continually call the company after each time the crew was out to express my frustration of them not delivering as the contract was written and the sketchy work that was performed. In one instance, I myself had to get out my ladder and climb on my roof to take pictures so that the owner could see the issues I was dealing with just so I could get them corrected. There were various areas that the workers attempted to cut corners, damaged my lawn and did not clean up after themselves after completing work as stated in the contract. I found numerous nails, screws, and other debris in my yard after the work was completed. There was one day the crew came out to fix the issues I identified and I asked them why they tried to cut corners and the crew lead said it was "because [they] didn't have all the materials with them that day". To me this was unacceptable. I didn't agree to pay thousands of dollars to have poor quality of work done on my house. Throughout this whole experience I never received a call from the corporate office to apologize for all the issues or come out for themselves to see firsthand the poor quality of work their crews did which is just the opposite of what they claim they do on their website and in their YouTube video. I ask anyone considering using JD Hostetter & Associates for home contractor work heed with caution. read more

A while back I was visiting Indianapolis for a weekend and parked my motor home at a friends house. Unfortunately when leaving I got too close to their house and damaged their gutters and siding. Since I live out of state and needed to get back, I was anxious to find a reputable company that could fix the house in my absence. My research took me to JD Hostetter & Associates. I felt comfortable from the start. They were friendly and professional at all times. I knew I could trust them and put me at ease since I was out of state. They were true to everything we discussed, what I desired and what needed to be done. I left feeling comfortable and confident that I made the right choice in contractors. I actually felt that they would go the extra mile to satisfy their customers and they did! They were great to work with! They exceeded my expectations on all fronts. They were prompt to get to the job and completed it in a timely manner. They kept myself and the homeowner informed of progress throughout the project. When speaking with the homeowner later he told me that he wished I had damaged more of the house because JDH did a fantastic job! He was more than pleased and so was I. I returned to Indianapolis a few months later and stopped by to look things over. The house looked amazing and you could not tell that I had ever damaged it! Thank you JDH for stepping to the plate and doing a professional job with honesty and integrity. You made an embarrassing situation seamless. You removed my anxiety of being out of state and not knowing a contractor that I could depend on and trust. If your company was in my state, I would call you to work on my home. I highly recommend that you call JD Hostetter & Associates for your home needs as well! read more
