FAQ’s

I receive a lot of emailed questions and wanted to address some of them here for you.  What I’ll try to do is put a few on this blog from time to time.  Maybe you’ll see an answer to a question you’ve been wanting to ask.

Q:  How far from Richmond will you go to give an estimate and do a job?

A:  If you were to draw a big circle around Richmond about 50 miles out in circumference that is pretty much our territory.  We call it the FMZ (Fifty Mile Zone) after the popular website TMZ (Thirty Mile Zone).  We’ve been known to go farther if needed.

Q:  As a HardiePlank installer you could certainly handle vinyl.  Why don’t you offer vinyl siding? 

A:  Our concept for this company was as a specialist offering high quality.  Since Paul worked for James Hardie building products he saw a need and want in Central Va. for HardiePlank, but couldn’t convince the vinyl companies to sell it.  But he convinced me!  We didn’t want to be like the other companies that offer anything and everything to make a buck so we stick to HardiePlank.  Of course we also offer energy efficient windows, replacement railings, roofing and quality trim products.  We do what we do and we’re pretty good at it!

Q:  I like the railings you offer, what’s the difference between the aluminum and vinyl rails?

A:  Our powder coated aluminum rails look like real wood.  They are a high quality custom fabricated product for your house and you can get them powder coated in virtually ANY color that you want.  Our vinyl railing systems are of better quality than typical vinyl railings.  You can get them in 5 colors and different styles too. 

Q:  I love the traveling t-shirts page on your site.  Why only sporting events though?

A:  Paul came up with that idea.  We’re both sports nuts and he wore his shirt to a Yankees game or Red Sox game and had a picture taken and the idea took off.  It’s just something fun for the website.  By the way, that’s me (Matt) in the Super Bowl picture.  Coolest sports event of my life!  Go Steelers!
