2.5 stars: My siding looks beautiful due to Christian's great 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. read more

The pictures speak for themselves, thanks again guys. read more

Christian's team did a fantastic job on a difficult project. . I asked Christian to install HardiePlank siding, renovate my rooftop deck, and replace old windows. In order to complete the project successfully, Christian had to deal with the idiosyncrasies of a house built in 1922 that had accumulated a number of additions/updates/kludges over time. Christian was able to react to all of the surprises we encountered once we took the old siding off (chimneys to nowhere, mystery pipes, ancient electrical etc) and complete the project on time and within my budget expectations. Christian was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. He communicated with me constantly and spent plenty of time onsite. I work full time and don't have time to babysit an ineffective or shady contractor. Christian made this remodel very easy on me. The house looks great! Thank you Christian! read more

It's frustrating enough at this time to hire a contractor but the worst is when a contractor like Christian at superior siding doesn't respond back to phone calls text messages and emails after asking for information and pictures. If a job is too big or too small or if if you're just too busy as a business owner have the decency to reply back to the clients that have taken time out of their day to try and hire you. read more

Christian helped with my mid-century renovation by applying beautiful vertical cedar siding. He worked with my other contractors to integrate with the new windows and doors and the transition to stucco. I would recommend Christian and his team and I'm grateful for their work. read more

Christian, Ken, and Bart did an amazing job on our home. We had crappy, old board and batten siding with peeling pinkish paint from 1971, and now we have clean new horizontal James Hardie siding. I can't wait to see it painted! Their attention to detail really impressed us. They were careful to clean up the jobsite each day. At the end, we did a walk through, and they made a couple of small changes with no problems at all. They stayed in touch throughout the process to ensure good communication. It's difficult to find a siding contractor in San Diego, but Superior Siding is a gem! Thanks, guys. read more

Went the extra mile with attention to detail and working with me to get the results I wanted. Would highly recommend. Hardie Plank siding brought a 1950s home into the 21st century with improved curb appeal and low maintenance. read more

I am in the process of remodeling my house and was looking to replace the old painted siding on the front of my house with new redwood siding for a more contemporary look. On a recommendation from a friend, I got in touch with Christian at Superior Siding. Very glad I did! He came out to my house to discuss what I was looking for and got back with a quote very quickly. My project was small, but Christian was easy to work with, very responsive to questions and concerns, and gave me a few different options that would work with my budget. I ended up going with horizontal 6 inch redwood t&g with a clear finish. His work ethic and attention to detail is outstanding, and the finished product looks great! Plus he's just a genuinely nice guy! I highly recommend Superior Siding. Thanks Christian! read more

Hiring Superior Siding to handle my exterior home upgrades was the best choice I made during my remodel so far. From the moment Christian answered my call I felt confident in his knowledge and expertise. Prior to meeting him we were having trouble finding someone who could answer our questions and handle the scope of work we needed while maintaining our budget simultaneously. Not only is Christian experienced and competent, but he is so creative and contributed many great ideas to help us execute the vision we had. His prices are competitive, but a great value in that we had total peace of mind because he is quick, thorough and so easy to work with. He is professional, responsive and hard working and went above and beyond the "standard" to treat my project as his own. It's very tough to find good work ethic and quality service these days, but Christian takes pride in what he does and he really cares. Without question or hesitation, I HIGHLY recommend Christian and Superior Siding. I cannot thank him enough for his diligence and beautiful results! read more
