Just finished - what was great James Hardie siding project from start to finish of our 33 year-old home ~ with some challenging architectural features. From my own engineering/construction background, the people: management, communications, scope, responsiveness, talent, attention to detail, and respect as if it were their own home ~ made for a great project experience.

Absolutely beautiful work on my home - we had an almost entire exterior remodel including siding, stonework, doors, and windows. The team worked hard to help us bring our vision to reality and it turned out even better than the 3D renderings (which I highly recommend). Our house went from drab and neglected to one of the most beautiful in the neighborhood. We get compliments all the time on how wonderful it looks. The upstairs room no longer needs an additional a/c unit with the window replaced and the James hardy siding has brought the heat in the attic down noticeably, our energy savings are already noticeable. Highly recommend this group and would work with them again! We plan to have a few more doors and windows replaced in the near future and will be repeat customers for sure.

We used Johnson county for 6 new windows on our 1970’s house. They were very good at communication and did the job swiftly. It only took about 7 weeks to get our products ordered and then were immediately able to have the project started. We already notice a difference in our inside temperatures.

Kudos to all the JOCO Siding personnel we dealt with during our siding project, including Steve, Nicholas, Lynn and Trista! They made the project go smoothly from start to finish. Any minor hiccups were addressed quickly, efficiently and without hesitation. The final outcome definitely exceeded our expectations!

Had new siding added to our house. Took care of wood rot in the siding and chimney. Also created a custom front porch. Everything turned out great. Front porch really made the house stand out. Great crew and project team.

This company was great from the beginning to the end. They walked us through there process and answered all our questions. The install took a few days and we noticed the difference right away! The installers did a great job and were very professional. They even were able to work trim around our electrical conduit for our solar panels that looks seamless, very impressed. They did a great job and will use them again in the future. Thank you for doing it the right way!

Update 2/15/23: We wanted to give an update to our earlier review. We called Johnson County Siding & Windows when we noticed some minor air infiltration on several of the windows they had installed during the coldest days this winter. They came out to do an evaluation within 2 days and said they would come back when the weather warmed. They were true to their word! They were back out this week and worked to ensure that the air leaks were taken care of. Lynn & Kenneth did a great job- very thorough, made sure to discuss what needed to be done & did a great job cleaning up. Nick, the supervisor, came out as well to discuss the job with us and to ensure we were happy with the results. Absolutely recommend this company- They do a fantastic job and stand by their work!We cannot say enough about our recent experience with JoCo Siding & Windows! We recently bought a home and were a little overwhelmed to learn we needed to replace all 31 windows. We decided to hire JoCo after receiving about 5 estimates, not because they were the cheapest, but because of the amazing reviews and quality of their products. From the first to the last, they have been professional and great to work with. Steve provided the estimate and information from several follow-up questions we had and was responsive and timely. Nick came out to measure and ensure that everything was on the order that we had discussed, answering all of our questions and providing great information on the installation process (which also sets them apart in how they ensure the windows are well- sealed). We could not have been more pleased with Donny and his crew (Casey, Lynn, Nick & William)- they came every day on time, worked hard the whole day for the week plus it took to install, were always professional and informative, and left everything clean both as they went and at the end of each day. They were amazing to watch, both in their efficiency but also their precision in ensuring everything was installed perfectly- level, etc. Nick came out daily to check on the progress and to answer any questions we had. And to top it off, Ryan (manager?) came out the last day to ensure everything was perfect for us, even bringing a gift basket! All that said, we did find a couple of small holes in a few screens a few days later and called- Nick came that day to pick them up to repair them- Amazing service! Recommend JoCo without reservation!

We had a great experience with JOCO Window. Everyone from the office, sales, installers and project managers made everything super easy and made me feel comfortable with the process. Being a Project Manager myself, I was impressed with the installers. They took the time to explain different things to me regarding install, operation, etc. They also took the time to try and minimize the mess as much as possible, laying down drop cloths, using the shop vac while making cuts, sweeping and microfiber mopping our hardwood floors when done and doing the best clean up outside they could while there was snow on the ground. They also found a huge gap in material that was letting cold air come right in the house making it extremely drafty in our kitchen.I have no issues recommending them to my friends.

We highly recommend Johnson County Siding! They recently installed Hardie board on the wood gables, soffits & enclosed porches of our 45-year-old brick ranch. Jeremy, Nicholas & Ryan are great. They were clear in explaining what would happen on the project & answered our questions promptly. Cesar directed the siding team and reviewed their progress at least once a day, also checking to see if we had any questions or concerns. The siding team was a pleasure to watch as they were very organized and took great care in measuring and installing the material. They were quiet (no shouting, loud music, etc.) and kept the work area clean and tidy. The painting and gutter teams were also very professional. The project took several days and Nicholas was outstanding in co-ordinating the work teams and materials. We were so pleased with the Hardie project that we hired JoCo Siding again to replace our windows.They replaced our 16 drafty (even with storm windows) wood double-hung grid windows with Marvin Essential casement windows. The windows are beautiful and our home is more comfortable. We were concerned about the difficulty of installation on our 45-year-old brick ranch. However, after Johnson County Siding did such a great job on an earlier project, we were confident they would do well with the windows. Jeremy, Nicholas & Ryan were again clear in explaining what would happen on the project & answered our questions promptly. Jeremy was very helpful and patient as we explored the costs and features of various manufactuers and window types. Rosie and Jonathan methodically removed the old windows & meticulously installed the new windows. They were friendly and very considerate as they worked both inside and outside the house—they did fantastic! The project took a few days and Nicholas was again outstanding in co-ordinating the work and materials. We are very satisfied and would use Johnson County Siding for any future project.

Great experience from the bidding process all the way to the final walk around after completion of the job. They had a middle of the pack bid they weren't the cheapest or most expensive. Woodpeckers had destroyed one side of our house. Joco Window and Siding installed JamesHardie siding on our house so woodpeckers won't be a problem for us anymore. The timeline on completing the job was accurate. They work efficiently and clean up everyday. One storm window was cracked when it was getting reinstalled. They repaired it and brought it back in a timely manner. I totally recommend Johnson County Window and Siding!

Great customer service from start to finish! Installers were friendly, conscientious & professional throughout the replacement of doors & windows. Very meticulous in their work and thorough on cleanup. We highly recommend Johnson County Siding & Window and we'll be using them again on our next project!

John Brown

We highly recommend Johnson County Siding & Windows. The entire process from start to finish was great. They were very professional and answered any and all questions we had. Their attention to the smallest detail was impressive. They cleaned up every day before they left, and made our house look amazing. We had 4 windows and 2 sliding glass doors replaced, and will definitely look to JCS&W again when we replace our remaining old windows I'm sure.

Frank Pino

1704325194

Very good experience. Installers were diligent and conscientious. Protected everything inside and out with drop cloths, wore protective boots to keep floors clean and vacuumed all dust and debris. Closed doors where appropriate to keep the noise down. Other than having new windows we couldn’t tell they had been here. Quality workmanship.

Very pleased with Johnson County Siding & Window. I ordered basement windows for a 90 year home and I was impressed by their customer service from the bid process until it was done. The two professionals working on the house were clean, polite and incredibly thorough. This wasn't an easy job (bars on the windows, cemented in old windows), and the change is remarkable. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant and kind. Will use again.

Our project was completed on time and very well done. I had an issue with a screen shortly after, and a quick call produced someone who came out and fixed it promptly. Am going to hire JoCo again for another project soon.

We loved working with Johnson County Siding and Windows and will certainly use them again; and we'll pass on this five-star review with others! They were easy to work with, prompt and efficient, and did exactly what they promised! We love how the windows look and the comments that we receive from others! Tom & Miriam Krause

I have been a customer of Johnson County Siding & Window since 2000 when I had siding put on. I completed a new window project this week and have always been happy with the professionalism and work done on my home over the years. Rosie & his crew patiently listened to all of my questions and requests and were very respectful of my property and cleaned up everything every evening. Nick was checking in often and came for a final check when the job was complete. I highly recommend them! Great job!

Craig Nichols

JOCO window and siding, did a fabulous job on our home. We got new windows and new siding. Our home is over 113 years old. And they made our home look brand new. They were professional, kind and polite. And their crews worked hard every day they were here. And addressed any concern I or my wife had, explained the process every step of the way. Thanks to Nick and all or the employees for our upgraded home. It's beautiful.

Carol Rindom

They were professional and friendly but not pushy. We chose them because they have been around awhile and they have their own crews. The installers were polite and friendly.

Johnson County Siding and Windows provided us with more than just windows for our daylight basement. They carefully educated, evaluated and advised. They did not pressure us and they were courteous. Once the decision was made, they met their time-frame, and their workers were obviously well trained, and they cleaned up after themselves and even washed the new windows! I can't say enough about this family-owned business, operating on ethics you just don't find anymore.

Lauren Merchant

I thought replacing all the windows in my house would be stressful, but the team here made everything so easy. They answered all my questions during the consult, brought product samples to make sure we were visually happy with the window type before install, and we're very professional.The install team was amazing. They accommodated my requests to leave the room my pets were hiding in for last, answered my questions, and worked efficiently to get them done in a timely manner. When they were done they left no mess behind, just beautifully install windows.Could not be more happy with the experience from start to finish and I'm picky as heck coming from a construction family. 10/10 would recommend. I will be using them for my siding needs in the future and will a review for that experience.

Investing and researching siding options and companies was a decision I spent months researching and saving up for.I received 4+ estimates and honestly thought joco siding and windows would be out of my budget.Steve came out quickly and did a great job explaining everything regarding Hardie siding installation and what options were available with the trim and colors. He also mentioned that they offered 0% interest financing for 18mos. Their estimate not only came in lower then the others but it included more sq footage and more options based on the needs of our house.Lynn stopped by and made sure I understood the financing and the contract regarding the work to be completed.Laura helped coordinate scheduling and worked with us to make sure the dates and installation would be as convenient as possible for us. She was able to work around work conflicts and made sure I knew when supplies would be delivered as well as when install would begin. She always helped answer questions quickly and passed on a message to the team if there were more specific questions.Nicholas was on site with the crew on day 1 and made sure everyone was on the same page and that everything started smoothly. He answered any questions or concerns I had regarding what I needed to do during this process.The crew put in very long hrs on very hot days and Nicholas was there to check on progress and make sure it ran smoothly.When installation was finished Nicholas and the joco siding owner stopped by to make sure we were satisfied with the entire process from beginning to completion.For a big home improvement investment like this, I Definitely recommend JoCo Siding and Windows!! They went above and beyond to make sure this entire process went smoothly. They provided 5 star service and a 5 star product!Thanks to the entire team for making this a great experience.

Working with Johnson County Siding & Windows was a pleasure. They delivered high quality work swiftly for a reasonable price and were respectful of my home.When Kevin came by to provide the estimate it was a great experience. He looked at our windows, explained a few removal/installation options, and answered all my questions within 20 minutes. Compare that to one of his competitors who took 90 minutes before we had to bluntly end the estimate because our son's bedtime had already past. Kevin did a great job of telling me the high points, no dog and pony show necessary, just the facts. He emailed the estimate a couple days later. No negotiation or haggling, the price was the price and it came in much lower that his competitors...and there was no need for "oh let me see if you apply for this discount". Reasonable from the start.We waited a little less than two months for the windows to be manufactured. Once we were notified they were ready they were delivered and installed within a week. Communication was great the entire time, I was kept informed and knew what to expect and when. A team of three people worked on removing and installing 12 windows. After one full day they had all the new windows in and the interior work done. The next day they were rained out yet they still tried to do what they could before they called it quits. They finished up the exterior work in half a day, so about 1.5 days total...surpassed my expectations. They did beautiful work replacing the trim around the windows, I appreciate that they touched up my stucco where necessary with paint that I supplied. I found minimal trash in my yard, a couple slices of wood here and there which was acceptable for me. No nails or other more concerning items.After two heavy rain storms the windows have held up well. When Johnson County Siding & Windows tells me I can call them any time if something isn't right with the windows I believe them and do not feel the need to have a lifetime labor warranty as part of my contract with them. Based on my experience they will do right by me.Highly recommend Johnson County Siding & Windows for window replacement!

First of all - Shoutout to Rosie for double checking everything with me and making sure we were both on the same page of what I was expecting before starting any work.Plan was to replace 2 entry doors, storm door, basement window and swap out my vinyl siding with hardie board. Had a good conversation with the sales rep and project manager on setting up expectations. Reviewed the contract and I had some clarifications to try and avoid any confusion (which they promptly said "yes it's included" and amended the contract so it was clear).Rosie and his crew showed up to do the work, reviewed the scope of work with me along with taking inventory of the materials delivered. Rosie mentioned there wasn't enough material to do what we discussed and immediately started making calls to get the extra materials.Throughout the project, his team was professional and kept me informed with what they were planning to do each day so there were no surprises.I was very impressed with the quality of materials, workmanship, courteousness, and cleanliness throughout the whole process.Just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved.

We are impressed with the quality of the work and we are very pleased with the value after comparing to other options. The crew that did the siding was absolutely awesome. And we are thrilled with the James Hardie Color Plus Siding for the low maintenance from here on out! Thank you to everyone at Johnson County Siding & Window from their sales person to their lead manager and to the crew!

This is our 3rd project we’ve used JoCo Window & Siding for. They’ve now replaced all of the windows in our house and just recently a new front door and it’s been a great experience with the entire team each time. Kind, on-time and expert installation. Highly recommend!

I had an excellent experience with JoCo Siding and Window. The whole experience from start to finish was great. Justin came to our home to get us an initial quote and brought window samples so we could see the difference in the types of windows. Lynn - the project manager called prior to the work and was very responsive to all of my questions and explained everything that we could expect with the installation. Donnie and Will who did all the installation work were great! On the first day they found some wood rot that was not visible until they started the work. Lynn came to the job site and was able to quickly tell us how much extra it would add to our initial price quote to fix it all. The installation process was great - I especially appreciated that they kept everything clean - using plastic sheeting and not getting the interior of our house messy. They cleaned up at the end of each day. They were both very friendly - our young kids were home on holiday break from school and were interested in the work and at times talked Donnie's ear off, but he was always kind to them. By the end of the project they knew our names and our dogs name! Justin came back when the install was done to make sure it was done to our satisfaction. This company is great to work with. The price quote was fair and accurate. They were responsive to all questions we had before and during the install. The crew is excellent and I highly recommend them.

We've used Johnson County Siding & Window several times and they have always done an expert job. We have recommended then to our neighbors and since we needed some previously installed siding replaced, we did not hesitate to them. The project was completed quickly and professionally, and we are very pleased with the outcome. Thanks again for a job well done and the fantastic family of Johnson County Siding & Window!!
