Exterior Building Solutions

The estimator came out; looked at the problems; told us the solutions and gave us bids. Then sent the workers out two days later. Everything and everyone was very professional and worked quickly. more

They had to work under extreme conditions. We have a steep roof on a 2-story house. We are six feet from our neighbor's property line, and the neighbors won't let us--or any of our workers--step foot on their property. Anthony's crew had to climb up the other side of the roof, and go up and over to replace the roof. It was ridiculous, and yet they did it: quickly and expertly. more

After a big storm I noticed water on the floor of our kitchen at the back door and some water near the ceiling. Anthony from EBS was able to come out a few days later, immediately saw what the problem was and made the repair from materials on his truck. All we needed was some caulk and a little tuck-pointing. Although we have yet to get any significant rain to test the work, I'm sure that we won't see water again by the kitchen door. This is the third time we have used EBS for various needs, from new roof to cornice repair, and I won't hesitate to call or recommend them again. more

The crew leader was careful to explain the nature of the work that would be done and requested feedback on his proposed approach. The company's project manager returned two days following completion of the project to both inspect what his workers had done and to review the scope of the project and my expectations of it. more

The days immediately prior to the beginning of our siding project brought some of the Spring's rainiest weather. Due to the nature of our yard's drainage, some places were almost swampy. Despite muddy conditions, however, work was done in a timely manner and the siding was cleaned free of unavoidable mud at project's end. more

They did a good job, and they were very responsive. The price was also very reasonable. They were a little late getting started with the service, but once they got started they finished it in 48 hours. I have gone to their office before, and they are very professional. I have recommended them to others, and they have not had any problems with them. more

During several recent, heavier storms since June of this year, I noticed right around the drain/waste vent system's pipe, there was moisture and some dripping. I suspected it was due to a cracked or damaged rubber boot for the pipe's vent on the roof, but access to that is not easy, nor is it something I was comfortable doing myself. As a result, Exterior Building Solutions was the only company I called who not only had a good reputation on Angie's List, but also was available without having to wait 2-3 weeks. They came out within 2 days and were able to confirm my suspicions, as well as give me an overall assessment of the rest of the roof. I agreed for them to make the associated repairs the next day, and thus far I have had no problems with moisture nor water in the drain/waste vent system anymore (it has rained a couple of times fairly hard and I have had no water present near the waste system's pipe anymore). The person who did the job was very nice, accommodating, professional and knowledgeable. I will certainly put them at the front of my list the next time I need any roof repair done. more

Mike was very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. He did not try to talk me into a new roof. He explained that the membrane itself was in good condition, but that the edges in several places needed patching and sealing. Most refreshing of all was that he understood that I was capable enough that I could easily do the patching myself. He even talked me through the process and gave product recommendations. I was so impressed that I will definitely be going back to EBS when the time comes to replace the entire roof. more

Great. All of this work took place over a span of about 3 months due to timing of stucco repair in between phases. After the work was completed, there was still a minor leak onto the front porch during heavy rain, but they came out soon after and found the problem, which was a simple piece of step flashing that had gotten cut back during the decorative trim process. Pros: -For the most part everyone was professional and willing to work with the various issues that needed to be fixed. -All workers are employees of the company and not sub-contracted out. -Workers were friendly and took time to explain to us every step and work through some of the un-forseen problems that old houses tend to bring up. -End result is an old house that looks new. No more leaky gutters, clogged down spouts, or ugly aluminum siding that does not belong on a craftsman style bungalow. -So far so good on the impossibly persistent leak that we have been dealing with for 2 years, and we have had a couple good rains since they last came out to repair the step flashing that got cut back in the last phase of work. Will definitely hire again for future work. more

I sold a home and the buyer's inspection report included eight roofing-related issues. EBS took care of them all and finished the work before the closing. The list included a skylight replacement, spot gutter cleaning and spot gutter replacement, chimney cap repair, and extensive tuckpointing. EBS did a great job and I would use them again. more

My previous roofer messed up my exhaust pipe up on the roof so my furnace stopped working. Mike came out on time and looked at it and explained to me the way it should be. it turned out I need a cooling and heating guy. He is very professional and patient. I really appreciate him coming out to look at my pipe on the roof and explaining everything to me. more

We received several bids and met with several local Angie's list contractors and ultimately decided upon EBS. Their quote seemed more in-line with the work and materials selected and we felt like they would be the most responsive and do the best work for us and our home. Our first interaction with EBS was with Mike Grossman who was great to work with. We had lots of questions and several special projects we wanted done during the roof work. Mike was courtesy, professional, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Once the schedule was set (which was based on our requested timeframe) roof work began quickly. We did have some slight weather delays but the crew reacted quickly and ensured the roof was tarped and materials picked-up. Mike the Project Manager was responsive with calls, visits and follow-ups and as the work began Anthony Grossman (EBS owner) came out personally to ensure everything was to his standards. I appreciated Anthony's visit and inspection and knew I made the right contractor decision. Several days after the roof, skylight, and cricket were installed the siding and shutters were installed by another EBS crew. Work again moved quickly (even with some weather delays) and we were very pleased with finished look. The final invoice was received shortly after and everything was in order and as expected. Overall, our personal experience with EBS was exceptional. Our roof looks fantastic and the skylight, shutters, and siding add that extra pop to the house. I would highly recommend Exterior Building Solutions for roof and exterior services and will use them again in the future. more

I found them on Angie's List and we were very happy with them. Anthony Grossman was the representative that I dealt with from this company. He was very professional and caring. We had just had a disaster with a previous contractor and we had to redo everything that they did. He explained everything and gave me a very competitive bid. They were prompt, clean and did an excellent job. They transformed our house from a shack to a really cute cottage. more

On schedule, professional sales person and workers, no surprises. I recommended them to a friend who was also very pleased with new roof and ridge vents. Did the job for exactly what my insurance company paid, and included adding ridge vents without additional charges. more

I contacted EBS to get a bid for a roof replacement on my home in Wildwood. I'm always skeptical about contractors so I tried to search for the ones with the best reviews on Angie's list. I contacted the top 3 companies based on reviews and received bids. EBS's bid was competitive, and our sales rep, Mike G. was very knowledgeable and courteous. The job was done quickly and on schedule, and so far I have been very happy with the work they did. The roofing crews were clean cut and made sure they didn't leave nails or other debris in the yard for my son to get hurt on. I would definitely use them again. more
