20 year siding needed replaced due hail, rot. Called for quote, quick timely response. 4-days later, Wilber and Christian showed up on time in 92 degree heat. Removed and replaced, clean job. Very happy with entire process. Price was decent, plus 5% military discount. Will recommend to all.

Jake did a great job, excellent communication. He found areas that needing fixing we were not even aware of. Kept to the bid he gave us. We are supremely satisfied and will be booking him to return for more work. Great to find people of integrity to work with!

I highly recommend Scott’s Painting and Staining. We hired them to replace some damaged trim on the outside of our house and also had them paint the entire exterior. When I first contacted Scott, he was quick to respond to my request, and he answered all my questions. Once we had hired them, if I had a question…
