I interviewed 5 different construction companies for our full house residing job. We met with Jason and he answered all my questions and concerns and gave me a very detailed bid so I knew exactly what I was paying for. We began the project and I started working with Tim the project manager and he was also a great guy to work with. I read every review online about Hoffman Weber and felt fully aware of any concerns to be expected. My house is completed and I can honestly say I would not have changed anything. We stayed within budget, my house looks amazing, and the company overall did a great job.

Hoffman Weber re-sided our house in August, 2019 and we are very pleased with the outcome. Joe Wire was our sales contact who patiently worked with us as we made decisions during the planning stage. Joe is thoroughly professional, friendly, extremely detailed (you will know exactly what you owe before the final bill comes) and a good listener. Joe and the office crew kept us apprised of materials delivery and dumpster install and removal. John did the installation. I was a little surprised to have a lone installer complete the entire job, but John did a great job. His workmanship is outstanding and any little thing I mentioned, he took care of. The property was totally cleaned up before he left and he finished the job within the original estimated time. We happily recommend Joe, John and Hoffman Weber Construction for your home-siding needs.

Our experience with Hoffman Weber installing siding, windows and gutters couldn’t have been better. Keyth’s design for our home was great! He answered all of our questions and checked in with us when the project was done. Brian, our project manager made sure everything went smoothly. The work crew was prompt, neat, and polite.

I had a great experience with this company from beginning to end. They explained everything, answered questions and helped solve every issue. I chose the James Hardie product for it’s high quality and for the finished look. Joe explained the choices of products but I chose the James Hardie. It is worth every penny to end up with such a maintenance free, great looking house. B I highly recommend Hoffman and Weber. They are so easy to work with, friendly, knowledgeable, problem solvers and I know they really cared about my project from beginning to end. Thank you for all the expert work. I have already had lots of compliments on my house.

Our 1921 house on Saint Clair Ave was an outlier in the neighborhood when we moved in, for all the wrong reasons. Now it's an outlier for all the right reasons. With Jason's help and artistic flair, we decided to use Hardie siding in the color Countrylane Red, with Arctic White trim. But we chose Birch Bark for the shake siding up on top, with a jut-out supported by corbels. We're happy. Our new neighbors are ecstatic. And passersby on Saint Clair stop to tell us how impressed they are. We really couldn't be happier with the job Hoffman Weber did for us, and we very sincerely hope those who read this review consider them for their project. Thanks.
