Reviews

"We met with both Carter Leary and Roger Ergang from Coastal Windows & Exteriors initially to discuss roofing & siding for our new home up in York, Maine. Because of its coastal location and insurance concerns we decided that doing this project now would save us years of additional upkeep later. Before deciding on which company we would use, we asked Roger and Carter if they would return for a second meeting to present their windows. They were very accommodating towards our schedule since this is a second home for us and made the trip back adding their windows so we could decide. Both men were very professional with their presentations and extremely knowledgeable. We had many questions and concerns about what products were better suited for our home and they never rushed us or had any hard sales tactics. They simply asked us to let them know if we were interested. After careful consideration we signed on to have them handle this project for us. We are looking forward to the start of this job and will update our review once it has been completed. Thank you Carter Leary and Roger Ergang for your time and patience as we made this decision to work with Coastal Windows & Exteriors. PS thanks for the donuts!"

"Had Hardie siding installed IOn my Cape House here in Rowley MA. Sales team were respectful, prompt and responsive. The installers were great, worked long days to her the job done and seemed to really enjoy their work. Final product is exactly as I had hoped, looks beautiful and will hopefully last many years. I would definitely consider coastal for future projects on my home and recommend them to others."

"Had a wonderful experience getting a quote on our roof and Hardy siding project. Frank was knowledgeable and responsive. Made sure to schedule a second visit over the weekend to make sure my wife had the opportunity to review all and select colors. White glove service and in the end a reasonable price. Project starts in a few weeks and will update as we go along. Highly recommend."

Cost
Fiber-cement pricing depends on the square footage of siding, the number of stories and elevations, how much trim and detail work your home has, and what the crew finds once the old siding comes off — rotted sheathing or failed flashing adds scope. Profile choice (lap, shake, or board-and-batten) and ColorPlus® versus primed also move the number. We price it after a full on-site measure, and the written estimate includes any repair work we can see coming.
