Positive:Professionalism
We had our old vinyl siding and trim replaced with James Hardie board. From the beginning of the project, team listened to what we were looking for and provided options and ideas. For execution, job was clean and professional. Team was kind and open to feedback/questions. House looks great, would recommend!

Report
We hired Bak Brothers to do a complete roof tear-off, full gutter replacement, and chimney repair, which, with our quirky 130-year-old house and its combination of flat and gabled roofs, was a complicated job. Artur and Przemek were knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with, and their team did quality work, quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend Bak Brothers and would definitely use them again.

We used Bak Brothers for a window job at our home. We needed to replace about 17 windows across two floors. Artur was very patient and informative throughout the process, as we took our time choosing our products and getting all our questions answered. We started the process before the pandemic shutdown and he remained in contact and helpful anytime we needed more info. And once we got the windows delivered, their install team was fast, friendly, and efficient. There were a couple issues that cropped up during the install and the guys dealt with those quickly, or ordered the needed item and returned
