What our customers say

During a very rough time of my husband passing i needed to sell the house. I called HEP and they completed everything at a very good price and in less than a month the house was on the market looking beautiful!

Mardell M.

Ruben was excellent when I was having drain issues. He was quick, explained everything throughly, and made sure I knew what my options were. A wonderful experience I just put an offer in on a home and wanted someone to check the place out for me and HEP was there! Not only was every technician that came out friendly, but they made sure I understood everything that was being told to me! They gave me clear and honest opinions about my AC, Roof, and electrical. They told me what was wrong, how to fix it, an approximate on how much it would be and even advice to make sure I get the most out of my repair life. I'm a first time home buyer and they made me feel confident enough about the condition of my home to be able to make a sound decision on it. I'll recommend them to everyone I know!

Nicole N.

Christian Jordan was here within 4 hours of my phone call. He was very professional, very friendly, and would make a great manager. He knew exactly what kind of siding would be best for me and explained everything thoroughly. He also assisted me with getting the best financing available. I would highly recommend him.

Angelia G.

Due to a miscommunication I need to apologize for a negative review I left. Hep didn't call codes, but I imagine that codes inspector is working himself to the bone, and instead of hearing "rough-in inspection" I heard "complaint" and I am so very sorry I was so reactive. It's been over a year since the work was done and we've had zero leaks! Job well done y'all!

Heather V.

HEP is by far one of the best companies, of any kind, I've ever dealt with. We've had HEP replace our HVAC system and just signed contracts with them for some major plumbing repair and a new roof. In our experience with HEP, we've found that they do everything, and they do everything really well. Which is great for us because we don't have to waste any time going through the giant pain process of finding contractors and then finding out if we can trust them. With HEP, the whole experience is like working with your brothers and sisters. Everyone we've met has gone out of their way to make us feel like we're part of their family. To me, the kind of quality service you get from that kind of a business relationship is worth its weight in gold. Thank you, HEP!

Ninestream C.

Tommy Fitzgerald and Jason Tew performed a roof inspection at my house. They were on time, courteous, friendly and respectful. More importantly they took pictures of my roof and explained each slide to me. I so appreciate their time!

Jen R.

Mike Mott was here to give me an estimate for the siding that came off my house. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. They know their stuff.

Deborah R.

Christian Jordan and Michael Mott came out and looked great and took care of the wind damage to my vinyl siding

Common Siding Challenges Solved by HEP Expertise

Water Intrusion Behind Panels

Problem: Wind-driven rain bypasses lap joints, saturating sheathing.
Solution: HEP integrates drainable housewraps and rainscreen furring strips, creating a capillary break that channels moisture downward and out.

Premature Fading on Sun-Exposed Walls

Problem: Intense UV radiation dulls dark pigments within a few years.
Solution: Premium fade-resistant finishes with infrared reflective granules maintain vibrant color despite continuous southern exposure.

Pest Infestation in Wood Siding

Problem: Carpenter bees and termites burrow into soft wood, compromising structural integrity.
Solution: Engineered wood products sealed against insect incursion, coupled with perimeter flashing that eliminates entry points.

High Winds Loosening Panels

Problem: Gusts along mountain ridges lift edges and break fasteners.
Solution: Enhanced nailing patterns and reinforced locking hems achieve wind ratings that surpass local building code requirements.

Integrating Siding Upgrades With Other Exterior Improvements

Window Replacement Synergy

Removal of old siding offers perfect timing to install energy-efficient windows
Seamless flashing integration ensures leak-free perimeters
Matching trim profiles create cohesive architectural lines

Insulation and Air Sealing

Wall cavity access during siding removal simplifies blown-in cellulose or spray foam installation
Airtight sheathing tape seals joint lines behind new cladding
Comprehensive envelope improvements yield dramatic energy savings

Gutter and Downspout Optimization

New siding reveals misaligned or undersized gutter components
Upgrading to oversized downspouts reduces splashback that can stain fresh panels
Leaf guard options minimize maintenance requirements for busy homeowners

Exterior Lighting and Smart Home Features
