Alan seemed professional at first, during the quote process and then the wheels fell off.
First it turned out he under quoted the job and ordered only half of the material required. This mistake was heard by our entire cul de sac. Professional, not. Because of this we had to wait another month for material so he could complete the job and the cost went up. We could have told him to eat the mistake but we didn’t. We agreed the quote was based on sqft and paid the difference as he was going to walk away from a half finished job and leave us trying to find someone to clean up this mess. Kind of a bait game it may have been. Alan, as it turned out, had to use our ladders because he didn’t have any “available”. Hummm
We paid him in time when asked, paid up front for material, half way through the job, again to cover the extra material costs, again at about 3/4 done and the final payment. What we didn’t realize is there was a small section of soffit that he missed under a window box. We called and texted Alan to let him know that a section was missed, it was hard to see unless you are on the neighbors property, and he said he would fix it asap. ASAP has come and gone for over one month and it is still not done. Alan has also stopped answering emails, texts and phone calls.
So my recommendation is stay away from Alan and his company. All of what I wrote can be backed up and proven with text and emails, there are plenty!!
All that has been written is true. I took on too much. I had just signed a contract for 2 side x side duplexes and thought with David's house only being 5 minutes from my home, I could complete in 2 weekends... The day is measured Davids house, I also measured a small workshop soffit how. When doing up the quotes, I mixed up the measurements and gave David the smaller number, purely by accident, which cost me.the other job as well. The wait for materials is beyond my control and it was a custom colour during shortages due to Covid...almost all the labour delays were due to bad weather or complications I was having from a surgery that took place March 2021. As far as cleanliness, I beg to differ on this point as I pride myself on being very clean. I included the customer on any , and all issues. The job is now 100% completed to their satisfaction.
Alan communicated very well and kept in touch regularly. As soon as Alan received the material from his supplier he got to work on our balcony. He noticed and replaced some wood rot and did an excellent with the entire installation. I would strongly recommend Select Siding for this kind of work.
Thanks
SelectSiding (Alan Gillies) was the installer for the siding on my home based on contracting with another company. Alan was very communicative and provided excellent explanations on the work he was doing and kept me up to date on his progress. At this point, I am very happy with the work completed (4 stars now - 5 if no future issues!) and Alan guarantees his work for one year from completion. The work took longer than I was originally told through the contracting company but Alan wasn't working full 8-hour days. I appreciated Alan's approach to the work and he left the worksite clean on a daily basis and gave a thorough review of his work upon completion. I would recommend SelectSiding based on quality of work and communication.
Alan did a great job for me on my project ! He did it fast on a cold pouring rain day. The finished product looked great!...good job with the exact amount of material needed. I would recommend Alan for all Vinyl siding and soffit installations.
Glen,
It was a pleasure completing this project for you. Customers like you make my job a pleasure.
Cheers,
Alan
Alan was very helpful in giving us different options and price points for various types of soffit. The materials were delivered very quickly and installation began soon after that. We were very pleased with the quickness of the installation and the quality of work. I would highly recommend Alan for any soffit services.
