Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for siding contractors that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Best Exteriors Construction, Inc., the key to achieving and maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction is simple: combine high-quality services with top-level products to deliver first-class results. “Quality is very important in everything we do,” says owner Irina Motronchik. “We often compete against big-box stores like Sears and Home Depot, so we have to set ourselves apart by providing great customer experiences.”

Best Exteriors Construction has been providing general contracting services for residential clients throughout the Greater Bay Area since 2005, handling everything from siding installations and window replacements to full-scale kitchen and bathroom remodels. The company is qualified to work with all types of exterior siding, including vinyl, wood, fiber cement and various Green products.

Unlike less experienced siding contractors that undervalue the importance of clearly communicating with their customers, Best Exteriors Construction makes sure to always stay in contact with its clients throughout every step of their projects. “Communication is essential for ensuring we meet each customer’s expectations,” says Ms. Motronchik. “When the job is finished, we want them to be completely satisfied with every aspect of our work.”

Another distinguishing attribute of Best Exteriors Construction is its ability to work on multi-phase construction projects that require technicians with a wide variety of skills and expertise–a comprehensive approach that turns many first-time customers into long-term, repeat clients. “Most homeowners can’t afford to do renovation projects all at once, so they stage the work over several years,” explains Ms. Motronchik. “It’s common for us to do a siding installation at one time and then come back later to do a kitchen remodel. Ultimately, we want to be each client’s contractor for life.”

Do your research before choosing an exterior siding product to install on your home. There are many options when it comes to exterior siding, each with its own unique features and price, so deciding which product is best for your home can be challenging. A reputable siding contractor with experience in exterior projects can help you choose the right type of siding for your home, but you can also make an educated decision yourself if you have the right information. Here’s some information about the most common types of exterior siding:
Wood
Many homeowners like wood siding because its natural composition appears to be an environmentally-friendly choice, but according to Irina Motronchik, owner of Best Exteriors Construction, Inc. in Sacramento, this isn’t always the case. “It’s true that wood siding is natural, but it’s not the Greenest choice unless it’s harvested sustainably,” she says. “In some cases, artificial siding products are actually better for the environment than certain types of wood siding.”
Vinyl
The most common artificial siding product, vinyl can be installed on both high- and low-end homes, and its composition makes it virtually maintenance-free, with no painting or finishing required. “Once vinyl siding is in place, you can pretty much forget about it,” says Ms. Motronchik. To keep your vinyl siding looking like new, simply hose it down a couple times a year.
Insulated
With its rigid foam backing, insulated siding’s biggest attribute is its ability to maintain the interior temperature of a home. It also serves as an effective noise barrier and allows for more impact resistance than traditional siding. For homeowners who like the appearance of wood siding, insulated siding’s foam backing creates similar straight sight lines and prevents denting and bending.
Fiber cement
Widely regarded as one of the best siding products available on the market, fiber cement siding comes in a variety of styles and provides better protection against fire and termites than wood and vinyl siding. Many homeowners choose fiber cement siding because of its durability—some manufacturers offer warranties that extend up to 50 years.
Steel
The biggest advantage of steel siding is its durability, especially in areas that experience cold weather. Steel panels resist the buckling, wavy appearance that can result from expansion and contraction caused by dramatic changes in weather. They can also effectively hide flaws in a home’s exterior substructure and keep wall lines smooth and straight.
