What to expect during installation

  1. Remove Old Material & Prepare the Surface: We begin by tearing off the old siding to expose the structure underneath. We inspecting for any signs of rot or damage and replace anything that’s compromised.
  2. Weather Preparation & Install: Once the surface is sound, we insulate and seal the wall to ensure its weather-tight. Our expert teams then install your new siding along with any necessary trim, soffit, and gutters. The time needed to complete a project varies by size, but as a general estimate, plan on roughly one day of work for every $2,000 in the sale price.
  3. Satisfaction Guarantee: After the installation is complete, we check our work, clean up the site, and haul away all debris; leaving your home looking sharp and tidy.

What our clients are saying:

5 Stars

There aren’t enough stars available to express how impressed I am with Excel Home Improvements.

“James and his crew went above and beyond my expectations. They were respectful, courteous and cleaned up after every work day. I had recently added 800 sq. ft. to my home and decided to do a siding color change on the entire house. I am glad I did. The craftsmanship with every detail from trim to caulking was amazing!! If you are looking for superior work I recommend you call Excel. Don’t be discouraged if it takes some time for them to get to your project, it is TOTALLY worth the wait.”

Excellent Company. Highly recommend them!

“I had them put up new gutters on my garage, replace gable ends and fix some siding on my house in Romulus. They came out quickly and did an excellent job. I have worked with other contractors in the area and realize I should have had Excel Home Improvement do more of the work I needed done. Very good service and very skilled work. Thanks much!”
