“Crown Exteriors did an outstanding job replacing our old wood siding with Hardie board. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish.
Huge shout-out to our onsite supervisor Atzel — he was professional, communicative, and made sure everything was done right. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would absolutely recommend Crown Exteriors to anyone looking for exterior work done right.”
“I was really pleased with Crown’s work on my home. We replaced our roof and siding with them and the quality of work was fantastic. On top of that, we discovered a 110 year old mural under our siding in the process. Crown quickly switched gears and worked with us to preserve this piece of history and helped me get in touch with experts to make sure it was done the right way. I couldn’t be happier with their flexibility, communication, and workmanship. My feedback was always valued and they quickly responded to any items that concerned me through the process. I would recommend them for a wide range of work.”
“Crown Exteriors replaced our roof and siding after a storm. Parker was great to work with. Very knowledgeable and personable. They worked with our insurance company to get what we needed done. The quality of the work and timeliness was excellent. We would definitely use them again.”
