I really admire Alex - not just for his skill, and his great attention to detail, his knowledge of paint and how it relates to weather and longevity, but also his appreciation for the finer points of color.

He recently earned a gridiron promotion as a new assistant Coupeville High School coach. He also is I now count Alex as a friend, and appreciated the long hours he spent getting my homes painted. I wish him the very best in his business as a painter, his commitment to the success of his teams at Coupeville High School, and his wresting career. He can do it all. I believe in him. Thank you Alex for my beautiful homes, and the price was right! PS. Will post photos soon.

I got a couple of quotes to paint my mother's house, which has lap cedar siding and a deck. I chose…read moreHilltop because their price was competitive, they seemed knowledgeable during the estimate, and they had good reviews. There were some positives. They did a nice job painting the trim and front door, and the front of the house had good paint coverage. Unfortunately, the rest of the project was disappointing. I had to repeatedly send photos showing missed or subpar work before issues were addressed. Early on, I learned that their "double layer" paint application did not mean two coats, but rather a single, supposedly heavier coat. Even so, the paint coverage on the sides and back of the house was very thin. Knots in the cedar were still porous, and there was noticeable shadowing through the paint. The bottom edges of the lowest three rows of siding around the house weren't painted. Some landscaping wasn't properly protected and ended up with light overspray. Under the deck, they didn't clean the siding before painting, leaving cobwebs painted over. The caulking required several return visits before it was mostly complete. They initially said they would reseal the chimney cap, but later told me they couldn't touch it for liability reasons. I also had to point out that the top of the chimney cap hadn't been painted. In addition, I found fascia boards and pieces of siding that had either been missed for replacement, left unsecured, or simply not painted. I was also told part of the quoted price reflected the need to rent a deck sander, but that never happened. In the end, I did most of the deck scraping and prep work myself the evening before they painted because I wasn't confident it would be done properly. Overall, this was a frustrating experience. While the final result became satisfactory after multiple rounds of follow-up, it required far more oversight and "babysitting" than it should have. Based on my experience, I would not hire Hilltop again.

I am writing this review for Universal Roofing & Siding and Edy Mendoza because I feel the need to…read moreshare my wonderful experience with this company here in Bellingham, WA. I originally sought to hire a roofing contractor via Yelp and sent a quote request to several companies at once. Edy responded within an hour of my posting and via messaging I shared pics of my roof, my budgetary situation and timeline. Edy acknowledged my concerns and met me at my property to better understand and communicate the reality of my roofing situation. Edy proceeded to share his findings (a roof layered with two layers of heavy asphalt shingles) and his professional advice and hesitation to lay a metal roof over the existing shingles, although doable, at this stage considering the amount of weight already bearing down onto the property's structure. His honesty and hesitancy to complete this job to merely satisfy the customer and collect a financial sum spoke volumes. He offered and I accepted, free of charge, a detailed breakdown of all material needed to complete a metal roofing project and after much negotiation with Edy, addressing the labor costs and trash removal, allowed me to better understand the magnitude of a roofing job. After some thought and citing the fact that he set an honest tone from the onset, I hired him understanding that other unforeseen structural issues could arise and upon their first day on the job site with his crew totaling 4, he in fact discovered a foam barrier placed upon the frame acting as an insulator (I have an a-frame home). Edy and I worked through the issue which resulted in additional materials and labor costs, but after detailed removal of the shingles and meticulously installing the metal sheets over insulation via wood slats, the project was completed beautifully and professionally. Edy and his crew were very detail oriented, respectful, courteous and friendly. I would highly and enthusiastically recommend that you offer Edy and Universal Roofing & Siding an opportunity to serve your roofing needs. JJ in Sudden Valley, BHAM, WA

They were uber responsive on coming out and doing an estimate. The explanation of work to be done was very complete and in plain language.

So, after working with him for over a year, I think a review update is in order. Everything I said in my original review is still true. I am not going to repeat them here; please see the original review. What has become more and more clearly after interacting with him for over a year is that ZAC TAKES CARE OF MY YARD AS IF IT'S HIS OWN! He does a lot of extra things and he doesn't even charge me for them. Yesterday, I came home and found Zac on all fours on my front yard weeding! For one thing, it was a 80 degree day. Also, he is NOT even expected to put out the weeds. I learned that he had been doing that without telling me because my house is on a corner lot and is very visible to people who walk by. So, Zac is not only knowledge and good at what he does but also very passionate about what he does. I could not possibly ask for more from him.
