Mark & Dave, I would like to thank you for telling us on the radio about Lifetime Remodeling Systems. My wife and I just completed a Hardie Plank residing project with Ralph’s team and we are very pleased with how the project turned out.

Our home really is our dream home and was perfect for us nearly in every way. Every way that is except the siding, which was LP that had failed and was growing mushrooms. We intend to raise a family in this home and retire here, therefore quality is very important to us. Everything we do to this home, we do with the long term in mind. We insist that work be done right, with long lasting, efficient products being used. I did not want to have to reside again, ever.

After hearing Lifetime Remodeling Systems advertise on 1190 KEX, I logged onto their website. I found a great deal of good information there about siding options, materials, as well as a page with helpful tips on selecting a quality contractor. Their website showed me a company that wanted the siding job done right as much as I did. I then checked the BBB and found no complaints or negative reports concerning Lifetime. We then contacted Lifetime Remodeling Systems for an estimate.
When I first spoke to Ralph on the phone, the first question he asked me was “how long do you intend to stay in your home?” “A good long time” I replied. He told me that if I planned on selling in the next couple of years, Lifetime Remodeling would probably not be who I wanted. That approach sold me right there, he was looking at long term quality, as was I. We invited Ralph to do an estimate one evening after work, and he blew us away with his attention to detail and competence. Ralph takes obvious pride in the quality materials they use and the work his team does. We signed a contract that night, and work began just a few days later.

I had a follow up call from another James Hardie certified installer who had provided us with an estimate. I had fun telling him why we went with Lifetime Remodeling instead of his company. The stainless steel nails that Ralph loves, plywood sheer wall, Sherwin Williams Duration paint (2 coats), all higher-grade materials than this other company uses for not much more cost to me. Ralph was just a few percent higher on his estimate than this other company was. The other company was befuddled by how Ralph could use these higher-grade materials for that price. Lifetime Remodeling Systems actually turned out to be a good deal to boot!

Work started, and we dealt with three weeks of construction discomfort. As in all construction projects, there were issues that needed to be addressed and taken care of. Ralph and Gino were especially impressive with their availability and responsiveness to our questions and concerns. They always got back with us quickly and always had our problem taken care of if not the same day, then by the next. The time we requested a meeting with Ralph at the house, he was there in an hour and a half. After the first day of painting we decided to change colors, no problem. We made an evening call to Ralph’s son Gino. Gino got up early the next morning and matched our new color perfectly to that of a nearby house and saved the day. Our home looks great, it’s exactly what we had envisioned. We also decided to dress up the house with window shutters, which Gino was able to take care of. We found Lifetime Remodeling Systems to be very customer oriented and ethical. They are completely focused on their client being fully satisfied with the process and outcome of the project. I wish more companies had these ethics and took the pride that Lifetime does in their work.

Now the project has come to completion. Ralph and Gino came in under budget and ahead of schedule. My wife and I are absolutely satisfied with the project outcome and Lifetime Remodeling Systems. We are content knowing that the siding and paint are going to last many years, being installed right the first time, and with the best materials available. Thank you, Mark and Dave for advertising Lifetime Remodeling Systems, and thank you Ralph and Gino at Lifetime for doing such fine work that I can be proud of.


Sincerely,

Ethan & Sarah Corbin
