Exterior Project Planning Guide

If your home needs multiple exterior projects, it’s best to make an overall plan with specific phases, as it can be difficult to tackle everything at once.

Armed with that information, you can make your short, medium, and long-term project plans.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with John and Northeast Home & Energy on multiple projects, and I can’t recommend them enough! John replaced the roof at my home and also fixed a leak on the roof at the building I work at. Both jobs were done with exceptional quality and professionalism. John is always polite, communicative, and goes the extra mile to ensure everything is done right.They're simply the best and I’m always confident referring Northeast Home & Energy to others. If you need roofing or any other home energy services, they’re the company to trust!Thanks again, John and team, for your excellent work!

Northeast Home and Energy replaced our roof last week.It was a great experience! The crew was amazingly hard working, professional and serious about their work!On day one they put up a huge barrier net to keep all roof debris off our house. Ground helpers used wheel barrels to dispose of all roof material into a dumpster which was delivered the previous day. They left the yard and driveway neat and clean including picking up old nails. We’re So impressed with the job they did!Richard was in touch throughout the entire process and oversaw the job from start to finish. We couldn’t be more pleased! Everyone, and I mean everyone, couldn’t have been any nicer!Do yourself a favor and use Northeast… you’ll be glad you did!

After reviewing the positive feedback of other costumers I requested a bid for my roof replacement. Michael G provided me with a fair and reasonable offer that I accepted without further negotiations. The offer was significantly more favorable than the prior offer from a competitor. The work was performed in a timely and professional manner. Michael G stayed on top and communicated any issues that required corrective measures. I received compliments about my new roof and credited Northeast for the fine job. Thank you for the great job!!!

Choosing Northeast Home & Energy to do some insulation work in both attic and crawlspace was an excellent decision. Meeting Bill and his team, as well as John Prunier was a pleasure. The process was smooth and flawless from start to finish.Bill - head contractor on our project, extremely knowledgeable, super courteous, respectful, and seemed to genuinely enjoy his job. JA and Hector, thank you guys!They fixed hatch that goes to the attic, as well as a small fix in my roof for free. Thank you!I highly recommend them and they are indeed top-notch! It's been a pleasure to know you.Thank you, Northeast Home & Energy!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Northeast Home and Energy for vinyl siding on my ranch-style house, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the outset, the representative and Vice President, John Prunier, made a lasting impression.John came to our home and provided a detailed and competitive quote. I had received quotes from three other companies, but John's professionalism and personable approach won us over. His presentation about the family business, founded by his father, who had a deep respect and commitment to assisting U.S. Military Veterans, resonated with my wife and me. The Veteran's discount he offered was the icing on the cake, making our decision to go with Northeast Home and Energy an easy one.Throughout the process, John and his team were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations. The vinyl siding has transformed the look of our home, adding both value and curb appeal.We have had experiences in our lifetime with other companies who add extras costs as they go, but John saved us some additional money as the job neared completion. This is the kind of integrity and honesty that one only hopes to find in a business today.I wholeheartedly recommend Northeast Home and Energy to anyone looking for top-notch service, quality craftsmanship, and a company that genuinely cares about its customers. Thank you, John, and the entire team for a job well done!

From the time Mike arrived to quote on windows till the last window was installed, the process was nothing short of perfect. It is rare these days to find such a seamless and easy process when having to hire out Professionals. Mike was there every step of the way for us to make sure we were happy. Matt and his team did an absolutely perfect job, cleaned up everything after and were professional and easy. This a very high quality company. I would not hesitate twice about hiring Northeast Home and Energy! Thank you for an amazing job.

Richard and the team at Northeast Home & Energy made the replacement of my roof fast and painless! From my initial email requesting a quote Richard was pleasant, informative and professional and guided me through the process. They kept me informed of the schedule for my job and my roof was completed on time. They kept a clean work site and left my property as they found it.All in all, an amazing experience.

Very pleased with the work. We had a full roof replacement which was badly needed. The crew came on time, every member did his/her job, and the work was completed as promised. They were respectful of us and our property. Very much appreciated!

We purchased an older home which needed lots of care. I searched the BBB for 5 star reviews and found Northeast Home & Energy highly rated in capabilities that I needed which were roofing, siding, and insulation. I called for a quote and they promptly sent Mike G to meet with me at my house to go over details of what was needed. I also worked with multiple other companies at the same time, none of which would do all the work needed, and received multiple quotes for comparison. I found Northeast to be competitively priced and selected them to replace my roof, my siding, and to upgrade my attic and overall insulation. Their crews were very professional and worked hard to complete the jobs on time and clean up each day. Since my wife and I were at work an unable to be on hand during the work, we asked for a few adjustments (e.g., move doorbell location) after they were done and Northeast had no problem coming back to do several small things (not rework but changes) until we were happy. As an example, we recently installed a new back door which required us to reframe the doorway and cut through the aluminum wrapped around the door casing. I asked Haley from Northeast to please send someone to replace the damaged aluminum. I left for work one morning and came back to see that it had been completely redone. It was beautiful. This was our first home so we had to learn a few things along the way. Mike G and Haley partnered with us and worked with the crews to ensure that we were fully satisfied with the results. My wife and I could not be more pleased with our choice to go with Northeast for our new roof, siding, and insulation. I recommend them highly.

Very positive experience. Work was done fast and efficiently for a large old house, and I have even gotten compliments on the attic by teams here for other projects not related to insulation work.I really enjoyed that I could schedule with Richard via texting rather than a phone call. I work non-traditional hours and it was a little thing that made my experience much more enjoyable. They were flexible with scheduling and worked to find a day that was best without me having to take PTO.Bill was the head contractor on my project and he was knowledgeable about the work to be done, courteous, respectful and seemed to enjoy what he did and took the time to teach the newer members on his crew. I felt safe having 2 grown men in my house while I was alone. Listening to Bill and his crew banter back and forth while working also made me chuckle. Prior to doing any work Bill kept me well informed of what was happening and potential risks. The old thin walls were monitored for bulging/ bucking while being filled with insulation. I was asked about what colors for door kits I preferred and alerted that it wouldn't match existing frame and pieces of frame needed to be removed - with consent. And a few other things that were specific to my project. My house was kept clean and tidy - rugs protected by drop cloths, extreme caution around delicate wallpaper, and the whole area vacuumed up at the end of the project. Bill and his crew also made sure that future workers would be aware of the exposed beams under the insulation with well made signage and posts. Very impressed and have already recommended to my friends.

The Northeast crew did a nice job replacing my vents that exit thru the vinyl siding. They also fixed the sloppy work done by the original builder. I’m very happy with the results.

I am a repeat customer who has had Northeast Home and Energy over the past few years put a new roof on my house, new replacement windows and just recently had my house updated with newer vinyl siding.I chose the color charcoal with wider white trim it looks so great I love it!This company has made every project a smooth and easy process for me. 3 jobs and 3 great outcomes,I’m glad I chose this family business who has been in business for 40 plus years.

We had Northeast Home & Energy do all our insulation - I highly recommend them. The techs were well trained, informative and went above and beyond doing our insulation.

Northeast was a pleasure to work with. The salesman, Michael G, was available to us via email/phone, walked us through the process, and checked in on the job. The installation crew was extremely professional, on time, clean and the final job looks fantastic.Later we had Northeast do our insulation work through the Masssave program. Again, great to work with. They walked us through the process, were professional, and always cleaned up after the work.Update, we just had new basement windows installed by Northeast. They look fantastic, and the basement is warmer. Can't say enough about Northeast.

NE Home & Energy provided insulation and a new roof at my 110 year old house in the last half on 2020. I am a commercial construction project manager and the work they performed was very very good in quality, workmanship and professionalism and met all my expectations. But what was even better than the installation and worthy of a 5 Star Rating, was that last month, 3 years after the initial installation, we noticed a small drip in a ceiling directly below the new roof, and when I contacted NE Home & Energy about the drip, they didn't argue or question or make excuses but they came over to inspect the roof with me and made the warranty repairs in less than an hour. I am not use to great service like that in the construction and remodel industry (or any industry or service provider for that matter) and I wanted to share that experience for others.

Casement Windows replaced — job well done! Matt arrived on time and worked quickly. He cleaned up his work area and removed all packaging and debris when he finished. Windows look great. This is my fourth project with Northeast Home. I’ve been a satisfied customer each time.

Aleen S.

From start to finish, the crew that worked on our home were very communicative, thoughtful, timely, professional and knowledgeable.They were able to get us an appointment earlier than anticipated- which we appreciated. The crew showed up on time, covered all areas with tarps, cleaned up after themselves and were very respectful of our home. The manager was able to do multiple tests (including carbon monoxide texting) on our home that made me feel even safer than when they walked in here. They even found a few things off (my house was flipped) that they fixed for me while they were in the attic. They told me about it, educated me about the problem and asked me if they could fix it (and how they were going to fix it).At the end of their time in my home, they asked me to look at the work they did. And while I wasn’t looking, my dog ran out of my house- and they immediately ran out of the house got him to come back in safely.My house is now warmer because of all the work they did and I know that they improved my house more than I could have asked for.

Great and honest people from the salesman Mike to the installers Tom and Brad, if you want professional people who know what they are doing these are the people. Installers Tom and Brad did an amazing job, left the place "spotless ". They installed 27 windows in a 1845 Farmhouse in 2 days. I would highly recommend them. None better.

The professionalism and craftsmanship are unmatched. The attention to detail is unbelievable.I can't say enough about these guys.They are real professionals and they show it.Our 100 year old house looks like a new house and is the talk of neighborhood.I would recommend Northeast Home & Energy without question.Thank you to everyone involved!Ed

Randy, Pedro, and Bill completed our Mass Save insulation with attention to every small detail. They are friendly, thorough, and a pleasure to deal with along with Carrie in the office. I wouldn’t look any further.In addition, I had Northeast come back and install our New Roof.What more can I say other than you will not be disappointed.Batting 2 for 2 doesn't get any better.

Alan H.

1690985530

I called because there was a small leak in my roof, and although I'm really handy, I don't know the first thing about roofing. Kyle came by right on time, and in about 5 minutes showed me exactly what the issue was. Seeing that it was small, he essentially told me I could handle it myself and save myself money. He even gave me a tube of caulk and wouldn't take money for it. He could have easily charged me a few hundred dollars to do it and I would not have questioned it.This speaks to a level of integrity that is priceless. While it seems a small thing, it shows that Kyle, and therefore this company, does things the right away, or at least in a way that resonates with me. Kyle also told me that the roof, while in good shape, will probably need to be replaced in the next two or three years. When that comes, I know who we will be calling.

Morgan M.

1690573597

This crew was top notch. Everything was explained to me thoroughly and clearly beforehand. It was a super tough job in an extremely tight attic space but these guys went all out and made it happen. Several other crews from different companies actually turned the job down, but Bill and Jonathan and Tim and Pedro and everyone else who worked on this project were just amazing. 5/5 stars, would definitely trust them with any aspect of insulation needs again. I highly recommend.

Ronen L.

The crew did the job in one day. The roof looks so great. I did my research on the shingle and they use 50 year shingles which is unusual for Nantucket. My last roof lasted only 14 years and it is good to know that I won’t have to worry about the roof for years.The only downside was that there were a lot roofing nails around the house which is hell on car tires. But to my surprise they had a roller magnet that picked up all (hopefully) of the nails.All around good experience. Great product, great warranty, great service, and best of all GREAT price. I highly recommend them.

Chuck C.

1681148144

I chose Northeast Home & Energy because when I checked their website, their reviews were top notch and I liked the fact that it was a family run business for over 40 years, having come from a similar background. Richard gave me a quote that was reasonable, and I had no idea that new roofs can now last 50 years, and that the warranty is transferable to the new owner should you sell the home. BONUS!! The roofers were professional, efficient, and very tidy. I highly recommend this company, as my experience was awesome!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Northeastern were incredible! They installed my new roof in one day! They organized everything and made sure all my fencing and plants were fully protected while removing the old roof. I have a dog so they also made sure there were no nails left behind with a special machine that picks up nails. Not only that but our new roof has a lifetime warranty which reduced my home owners insurance. I can’t say enough good about our experience with Northeastern Home & Energy! Thank you so much.

Brian F.

Richard was an outstanding representative of Northeast Home & Energy. He was extremely responsive, clear and concise with his estimate and explaining the process, and checked on the progress of the roof installation in addition to following up after it was complete. The 50 year transferrable warranty was one of the primary selling points enabling us to quickly sell our home. Extremely happy we went with Northeast Home & Energy.
