SOUND SIDING

As a property manager for 28 years, I have worked with many companies. I trust Sound Siding in their work details, professionalism, and their pricing is fair. The owner goes above and beyond to satisfy the customer. I am having them bid on two more window and siding jobs at this time.

I hired Sound Siding to replace a rotting deck in March 2015 that cost me $15,000. I would never hire them again. Additionally, Sound Siding has done a recent $150,000 re-siding project on a West Seattle condo building where I'm a Board member. Their crew covered-up at least one dryer vent with siding by mistake, their grave oversight only recently discovered by accident when our dryer vents were cleaned. Dozens if not a hundred loads of wet laundry have been dried with the moisture being evaporated either UNDER the new siding or into the crawl space where it can cause damage like black mold!! This is an appalling mistake, to cover up a dryer vent with siding! Although Tony's crew does competent work, my own $15,000 deck project in 2015 should have taken only 2-3 months, but dragged on for 6 months while Tony pursued larger condo projects. Tony also told me the unfortunate story of his daughter, and I am sorry for anyone who loses a loved one, especially a child. He sat at my dining table for 2 hours in 2015 and cried when he shared the story, and we got tears in our eyes as well. At the end of his talk, I wrote him a check for $10,000-12,000 to cover the 80-90% partially completed work. Next, 6 months of broken promises went by before our deck was finished and the scaffolding removed. For 6 months we had no deck railing and a 30 foot drop off our master bedroom deck, with plastic and scaffolding left on 3 stories of our house because the project was 90% complete but Tony wouldn’t finish the all-important last 10% to put the railing in. At one point, I began to doubt the stories Tony told me claiming our deck railing was on order, so we actually called the deck railing manufacturer and discovered he’d never phoned in the order for our railing despite repeated assurances he'd done so. There were many days he promised Bruce would work on our deck where Bruce just wouldn’t show and we’d be left leaving voicemails and texts for Tony that went unreturned. Sound Siding was the epitome of a nightmare contractor experience. While I feel badly he lost his daughter so many years ago, the fact that the story was shared in what I thought was a heartfelt conversation than was then followed by a 6 month nightmare really rubs me the wrong way, and I still remember it 3.5 years later. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt but we got burned so many days with Sound Siding. I would never do business with Sound Siding again.

I highly recommend this company. From initial contact to execution of the work I was extremely satisfied. It is so hard to find a company you can trust these days. They take pride in their quality of work and their pricing was very competitive. The crew was always on time, considerate, hard working, meticulous and cleaned up at the end of each day. When the job was done the area was pristine. I feel lucky to have found this company and was so glad to put my money into a local small business. I would hire them again in a minute. This is the company for your siding and window project !!

We are owner-builders and have worked with various sub contractors. Sound Siding has been delightful to work with. They go out of their way to do a quality job. The lead sider would always consult us with ideas on how to best finish an area, even building a mock up of a window framing to see if we liked the concept. We had several windows that weren't ordered correctly and had to be replaced. Sound Siding offered to do that even though it wasn't their responsibility because they thought they could do a better install than what was done before. We decided to finish a porch roof with varnished pine. Greg, the estimator, explained how to apply the varnish, which varnish to buy and he even drove the pine boards to our current house so we could do the varnishing job in our garage. Everyday the crew cleaned up the site nicely. We've spent a lot of time cleaning up after other subs, but not these folks. We received 4 bids for siding and their bid was the most reasonable. I would use them again in a heart beat.

Fast, efficient, professional quality work. They made sure to clean up at the end of each work day. They accommodated our need for keeping our fence intact to contain our dog and bent over backwards to protect a special rose that was close to the house. Any problems that arose were addressed promptly.
