BEFORE

AFTER
A 25-year-old Carmel house was showing signs of aging. The homeowner faced deteriorating wood siding, including areas damaged by woodpeckers and starting to delaminate. Initially, the plan was to address the windows separately, but upon further consideration, both the windows and siding were included in a single project to streamline the process and minimize disruption.
Addressing Aging Siding and Windows
Originally segmented into two projects, the homeowner opted to proceed with both the windows and siding simultaneously for greater convenience. During the consultation process, we utilized Hover and the Pella showroom to select complementary items that would enhance the final project’s aesthetic appeal.
The homeowner selected JD Hostetter for various reasons. Our extensive experience in the neighborhood, coupled with strong recommendations on both the James Hardie and Pella websites, instilled confidence. We also earned their trust through honest opinions and a commitment to respecting their budget.
For this project, we utilized James Hardie ColorPlus siding and Pella 250 Series windows. These premium materials ensure long-lasting durability and enhance the home’s overall appearance.
Overcoming Challenges with Expertise and Strong Communication
One of the initial challenges we faced was delays in receiving windows from Pella. However, our team worked diligently to meet the project’s timeline, reassuring the customer that we would complete the job within the estimated timeframe.
During window installation, we discovered an area with significant rot, which was originally not part of the project scope. We made the necessary adjustments and replaced both the windows and siding in that area, ensuring a thorough and comprehensive solution.
An exceptional aspect of this project was the open and effective communication between our team and the homeowner. This level of transparency fostered trust and, ultimately, delivered a positive experience. Previous remodeling projects by other contractors on the interior of the home had resulted in issues. The homeowners greatly appreciated JD Hostetter’s professionalism and ease of working during the exterior remodeling process.
100% Customer Satisfaction
Over the last two months, despite delays in windows and additional work beyond the original estimate, the customer expressed their satisfaction with the completed project. They went the extra mile to leave a glowing Google review and gave us a 100% rating on our James Hardie GuildMaster review. Their feedback reflects a job well done and reinforces our commitment to exceeding customer expectations.
