Sideco Inc

We engaged SideCo to replace all our aged vinyl siding on our home and to replace a double door with a modern Marvin French door. The project start was one week later than expected, their previous project had run longer than expected. Not an issue as we’d had bad weather.
The crew’s porta potty and dumpster arrived on Friday and the crew, all 12 of them, arrived by 8 am on Monday, along with the on-site project manager Anthony, the project supplies and work trailer. They quickly set about removing all the old siding, soffit, facia board, gutters and down pipes.
The job site quickly settled into a rhythm. Every morning the set-up guys would arrive by 7 am and start setting up for the day. Work started at 8 through 11. They’d take a lunch break for an hour, almost everyone stayed on site during lunch. They’d work from 12 to 4 pm. When they spent an hour covering the materials, picking up debris, and making sure the house was weather proof. During the most trash intensive activity there was always someone whose job it was to walk the site with a magnet and to pick up all the trash.
Anthony kept the team focused and was a pleasure to work with. Everything decision was documented, usually by text message with photos attached. Anthony also created a project photo library taking photos every day showing progress and detailing before/after of any issues and how they were resolved. We had rot in one corner caused by a badly installed gutter, that was all cut out and replaced with new materials. This library was given to us when the project was completed.
As we’d anticipated, changing from flimsy vinyl siding to the mass of the James Hardy Board with ½” closed cell insulation with radiant reflector has made the house noticeably quieter. The extra insulation helps keep the house warm/cool depending on the season.
The workmanship of the crew was superb. Every board was cut with precision, measured to 1/32”. The uniformity of the siding lay-up was ensured using clamping jigs, all the lap lines are even and horizontal. The transitions to trim were calked. We chose not to use a factory finish for the Hardy Board, so when it came to painting the whole house was masked and sprayed. Where the Hardy Plank butted against trim, the color transitions were very carefully hand painted. The attention to this detail was excellent around the whole house.
Overall, we are very comfortable with our decision to have SideCo do our project. While the project was not cheap, with SideCo we definitely got a quality job done using quality products that should last for many years.
In the attached photos, the light color siding is the “before” photo, the dark is the “after” photo. The two of the Hardy plank to Hardy trim show the fine detail of the caulking and painting done by SideCo.

We recently hired Sideco for a full make over including all windows, doors, siding, gutters, and exterior paint as well as the construction of a portico on the front of the house.

The end results are amazing. The quality of the materials (Marvin windows and James Hardie Siding) is phenomenal and the attention to detail that Sideco took installing the materials is visible everywhere you look around the house now.

The crew doing the actual work also exceeded our expectations. Everyone was friendly, hard working, and had great attitudes. My wife and kids never felt uncomfotable having any of the crew around and we all enjoyed the interactions we had with them.

In the end I cannot recommend this company enough, it was 100% turn key, all fees disclosed up front, amazing workmanship, timely delivery, and a major emphasis on customer experience and satisfaction.

After a great deal of research and trepidation looking for a contractor to install a new covered deck and replace the siding and gutters on our home we finally decided on Sideco and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. In addition we also replaced the entry doors and storm doors as well as adding recessed lighting and ceiling fans on our new deck. Our biggest concern as we were basically having our entire exterior renovated was having multiple contractors from different companies involved and the left not cooperating with the right as the old saying goes. Sideco took on and completed the entire project including painting the James Hardie cement fiber siding, trim, soffits, brickwork and our existing garage door. Coordination with electricians, roofers, painters all came together as a team from start to finish. Removal of all the old material and installation of the new siding and gutters as well as the doors was done smoothly and professionally. The new covered deck came together and was better than we could have imagined.Every detail from large to small was completed and done to the highest level of workmanship including the cleanup of every scrap of old and new material. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how easy it was to work out the details with the owner Jimmy Russell and his crew were the absolute best at their craft. In fact, we were undecided on what color to paint the siding and trim until they showed us an how to take an AI image of our house and change the color samples which made all the difference in our decision making process. That was a huge bonus as we may have went with colors we would have regretted later.They were professional but so easy to get along with until after a few day it was like you had your family or friends working on your project that took great pride in their work rather than strangers just trying to get finished. It’s rare to find a company and dedicated employees that care about their craft as well as their customers but I can guarantee you this crew does and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any job large or small.

First of all, let us say that we had an amazing experience with Sideco! We had 3 other quotes for our job, but no one we spoke to instilled the confidence we needed to be able to tackle this job. We had our entire exterior done; new siding, facia, soffit, gutters and windows. We were particularly concerned about waterproofing because of shoddy workmanship the first time around because of prior contractor shortcuts. We knew we wanted high quality windows because of our amazing views. And, as retirees, we wanted our exterior to be virtually maintenance free. We also loved the look of our home as it was, and wanted to retain the charm of all the Federal Style wood details on the front of the house.
Jimmy Russell has procured an impressive and talented crew of workers, and his project manager Anthony kept everything running smoothly.
Our project started on time, and took exactly as long as promised. We were able to visit the showroom and have a hands on experience with the siding, windows and construction details which also added to our confidence level with using Sideco.
If I had one piece of advice for anyone considering using Sideco, it would be: TRUST THE PROCESS!
It is nerve wracking to witness, and sometimes things are not done in the order one might anticipate, but on the last day when everything finally pulls together, the results are AMAZING and you will be very satisfied.

My wife and I first used Sideco to install siding on a previous home we had 30 years ago and they also installed gutters and a kitchen door on our home back in 2008. We recently contacted Jimmy to get some suggestions on replacing the 24 year old windows in our current home. We wanted to use Marvin windows and Sideco is an exclusive dealer and installer for these type of windows and doors. Jimmy and Brent came to our home, took some measurements and explained what our best option would be. After deciding on the type and style Jimmy told us the ordering process takes a few weeks and that the installation would take five days. Brent was the project manager and he and his crew arrived at our house every morning at 8am. Brent and his crew are very good at what they do. If you are worried about dust and mess don’t worry. Brent has someone cleaning behind their work every step of the way. If you’re worried about the job not being done right, don’t worry. The workmanship is top notch. They installed 11 new Marvin windows and one sliding door all with new casement, trim, molding and paint. It’s pretty uncommon in today’s world to see individuals take pride in their work and actually do it correctly but Sideco employees do. Brent was even able to answer some questions and help us out with some ongoing problems we have been having with our home regarding some siding and deck issues. I could continue to go on and on about their quality of work but I think all the 5 star reviews pretty much say it all. Sideco is the model of how a business should be run. Jimmy knows his business very well and he’s successful because he hires the most knowledgeable and talented people in the industry and treats everyone like family. And we will be seeing Sideco once again in just a few months. They will be installing new TimberTech composite decking on our home in September and with Sideco doing the project I know it will be done right and give us many years of enjoyment outdoors.

UPDATE: Completion of our new deck!!
Thanks to Jon, Ethan and the rest of the crew for the impressive work they did on putting together our new maintenance free TimerTech deck. We made quite a few changes along the way but Jon was very patient and helpful in working with us to build the deck we’ve always wanted. We are thrilled with the outcome and definitely glad we chose Sideco to install it. Once again the quality of work, craftsmanship and attention to detail is at an elite level. We are really looking forward to enjoying the many years of outdoor entertainment with our family and friends without the hassle of warped and splintered wood and the continual maintenance of a wood deck.
