Excel Remodeling Corporation

Be sure to check the work these guys do to ensure it’s done in accordance with the contract you have with them. I paid them a significant amount of money to install siding, with the bulk of the cost covering installation of furring strips to which they were supposed to nail the siding. Upon close examination of the work once completed, I discovered they had nailed the siding straight into the side of my house (instead of installing furring strips). In skipping the furring strip step (for which I had paid), they materially changed the terms of the contract without clearing the change with the homeowner and saved themselves two days of labor in an effort to maximize profits, quality be damned.
Excel Remodeling’s actions were dishonest, and as the owner of the company admitted in the aftermath, a poor business decision. He explained to me that they weren’t trying to pull one over on me, but that his foreman had made this business decision and informed the owner two days into what was supposed to be a four day job. Nonetheless, the owner never bothered to mention this important fact to me at any point after he was informed of this change, so judge for yourself.
To be fair, once Excel Remodeling was caught skipping steps in their work, the company did return to my home, took every piece of siding down, installed the furring strips they were contractually obligated to install in the first place, and reinstalled the siding. They did this without trouble, quickly, and the owner was quite apologetic. Regardless, «Caveat Emptor,» as the saying goes.
