Michael Herman Aluminum & Vinyl Siding

I recently had Michael Herman replace the front siding on my house. He had originally installed the siding 15 years earlier, but the south facing sun exposure had caused the siding to fade, so I decided to change the front siding to a coordinating color from the original siding on the other 3 sides. Michael and his crew did an excellent job removing the old siding and installing the new replacement siding promptly. The crew cleaned up my property and took away all the debris. In addition I had him replace my Gutters and Leaders and install his Stainless Steel Gutter Guards to prevent leaves from clogging the gutters. I have used Michael Herman for various jobs around my house for over 30 years and would highly recommend him for any roofing, siding, window, and door jobs you might have.

Michael has done several jobs for me. The most recent one was completed in the month of May, 2017. It consisted in removing from the front of the house all the old shakes and adding a insulation barrier and adding new shakes. My wife and I are very satisfied with the job. We have received compliments from our neighbors.

I have used Micheal Herman Aluminum and Vinyl and siding since 2000. Over the years I have had windows, doors, and a roof done. The quality of the work that has been done is excellent! Michael Herman is very reputable owner-If you call him he always calls back immediately. It is a pleasure to deal with such a reliable and honest person. I would certainly recommend the company!

Sometime in the early springtime after a heavy rainstorm, I noticed that water was streaming down my den wall as well as through one of my high hats and the Sheetrock in my den wall was wet and buckling. Obviously, I was in need of an immediate roof fix, so my local friend recommended Michael. I immediately contacted him and the next day, Michael and one of his workers came to my home, got up on my den roof, and promptly assessed the cause of the problem. He not only immediately addressed the source of the problem (the flashing had apparently come loose probably from snow/ice buildup and had pulled away from the house likely because the caulking was missing). But Michael promptly instructed his worker to glue down the loose flashing and caulk wherever the caulking was missing. He also noticed in another part of the same roof that I was missing an 8 foot length of capping at the edge, which my last contractors had apparently not finished when they were here in 2012. I would not have known that. So Michael's worker glued a piece of capping to prevent further erosion. What I found especially nice was that Michael offered to take me up on the roof so that I could see for myself what the issues were. While we were on the roof (it's a low roof and not steep), in addition to the flashing issue and the missing capping, he pointed out a 5 foot x 5 foot section of roof that was clearly soft and bouncy. Based on the location of the interior water damage evidence and the approximate age of the den roof, he concluded that the entire den roof needed to be replaced along with the two existing skylights because there was evidence of interior water damage near them as well. He provided a fair estimate for the work and explained exactly how the work would be done. Since the urgent issue had been addressed and the weather at that point in time was not ideal, together we decided we could wait until the early summer to schedule the roof replacement work. A few weeks prior to the job, Michael came over to the house and submitted a written contract specifying the exact work to be done, the type of skylights, and double checked the color and make of the roof shingles (so they would match the other roof.) He collected a deposit at that time. He advised he would contact me in a couple weeks based on the weather conditions and working around my scheduled vacation. When he contacted me, he told me the roofing materials would be delivered and left by the side of my garage a couple of days in advance of the scheduled job. I did not have to be home to wait for the delivery. On the next day, two workers showed up before 8 AM and laid drop clothes down on my den floor (because there could be some debris from taking out the skylights). The workers took a full day to remove the existing roof and the two skylights, working continuously and quietly. Afterwards, they ensured all of the debris was removed from the property (and transported away in their truck). Just before leaving for the day, the head worker told me they would need to install a piece of paintable wood molding around the interior of the skylight to finish the job. Since they finished late in the day, the workers returned the following morning to cut the wood moulding and install it. It took an hour or so. A couple of days later, Michael came to collect the balance due on the job and he assured me that I should have no issue with the new roof and skylights. But that if I did, he would return to address any issue. Since then, there has been no further issue. I have recently recommended Michael to my friends who purchased a home in Franklin Square that is in need of siding, roofing and windows. I will continue to recommend him based on his obvious experience, reliability, accessibility, and the overall quality of the work.

With regards to the roofing and gutter work, Michael Herman's company did for me this summer, I am very pleased. The work was satisfactory and done in a timely manner. I recommend Michael Herman to everyone for their gutter and roofing needs.
