All reviews for Solid State Construction

Lately, our roof had been showing stain and moss all over the surface. In addition, after windy rainstorms, we were finding water stains on our interior walls and ceilings as well as various shingle pieces throughout our yard. So, along with my husband, David, I began to do research on companies that replace roofs on residential houses. As part of this process, we talked to our friend Tina Delatina Rosa who is the Quality Assurance, Marketing and Events Coordinator for Solid State Construction. This led to Tina and Rob Blanchflower, a Project Consultant for Solid State, visiting our home on January 17 to assess our needs. With absolutely no pressure but lots and lots of professionalism and competence, Tina and Rob studied our roofing structure both inside and outside, including a tough to get into and out (for former NFL tight end Rob) assessment of our attic space. In a relaxed presentation around the dining room table, Rob told us who Solid State Construction and their product supplier, GAF, are. Everything was clearly explained; from old roof removal to installation of new underlayment and ventilation systems and finally of the GAF shingle product. GAF guarantees this product for 50 years if it is installed complying with GAF’s strict standards and, of course, Solid State Construction is a certified GAF installer. The price was actually higher than some of the other options we looked at, but the comprehensiveness of Rob’s presentation and the absolute pride he exuded while describing the merits of Solid State and GAF convinced David and me that this is the way to go.

On Saturday, March 21, Tina along with Solid State Construction Assistant Project Manager, Nick Keegan, showed up early in the morning with eight workers. Watching these men during the day I realized just how well trained and experienced a crew Nick was overseeing. Of immediate note to me was that right from the beginning at least one worker was assigned to clean up. No having a giant heap of a mess to clean up at the end of the day when everyone is tired and wants to go home. Along the way and after removing the old roof, previously unseen problems appeared. This required replacement of rotted structural boards and cross members which Nick had his men do without looking to nickel and dime us in the process. A good-sized portion of our roof covers a family room that we added to the house years ago. It was covered with regular shingles, but Nick advised me that a far superior covering because of the pitch of the roof would be rubber. So, right there while actually carrying out the work activity, a significant change in scope was made with no increase in cost or time to complete the project. At the end of the day, with only a few minor items that were taken care of the next morning, the project was done and everything was cleaned up. The quality of the final product fully reflects the expertise and professional workmanship of Nick Keegan and his extremely hard-working project team. Two of our neighbors spent years in the construction trades and they came over to tell David this is complete quality and professional job. One, usually skeptical, said, “Dave, when they told you to put rubber rather than regular shingles over the family room, that’s when I knew these guys knew what they were doing.” We couldn’t say it better. We are totally pleased and satisfied with our roof replacement provided by Solid State Construction and its product supplier GAF. We very strongly recommend them. Oh, of course, we had some questions after everybody left. No problem, David just called Nick Keegan who responded right away.

Outstanding service starting with the sales manager, Adam, and with their administration run by Erika. The Contract supervisor Chris was outstanding too!
Our house is much improved, is visually stunning and significant value has been added.
Recommended, without reservation

NEW ROOF. I chose Solid State Construction for my re-roof project because of their design efforts to solve an attic ventilation problem. Original construction had double the ridge venting needed for proper air flow which had caused problems over the past 20+ years. They weren’t just working on the exterior of the roof, but considered the attic and the roofing as a system. Once the design was settled it was just a matter of completing the work as specified.

The team was fast, efficient, safe, and skilled. I observed all aspects of the work and I’m very pleased with the result. The communication throughout the process, the quality of materials and workmanship, the end of day appearance of the yard and roof, all lead to a happy homeowner.

SSC replaced the siding on my house this summer. From start to finish they were prompt, professional, and adaptable. They understood my needs and guided me to the best solution. They also used technology creatively to develop a no-contact estimate, contract review / signing and payment arrangements. The siding project is now wrapped up and they have done an AWESOME job. Chris, the project manager, was great to work with and the guys were very pleasant, skilled and professional. I'm super pleased and am planning more work with SSC in the near future.

We are very happy with our vinyl siding and the work Solid State Construction competed. The foreman and project manager were great to work with. They made sure to be transparent and walk us through the process until completion. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to side their house.

we hired SSC to replace the siding and exterior trim on our house in summer/fall 2021.

they were by far the best contractors I've worked with, and I've worked with a lot of them on this house. they were super communicative, very clear about what was or was not included in any line item of the contract, responsive to questions or requests we had during the project, and didn't give us our final invoice until we were 100% happy (two different people came out to check on the work and to ask us if we were completely satisfied). the main crew was fast (our estimate was 4-6 weeks; they were done in two and a half), clean (really good about putting tarps on the lawn where they were doing any cutting of material etc), and friendly, and the other trades who came in seemed fine too. SSC's field guy stopped by probably every other day to make sure everything was running smoothly.

I honestly can't say enough good things about working with SSC and would hire them again in a second.

The folks from Solid State Construction were very professional, friendly and polite. They took great care residing our house, communicating questions and status frequently. We felt included in the process and are happy we chose Solid State Construction to do the work. The value and skill they bring to a job make it easy for us to recommend them.

We are beyond happy with the siding installation performed by Solid State. The crew assigned to our project from start to finish was professional, knowledgable, and reliable. Design process with Heidi was not rushed and options discussed and she was not afraid to bring us back to the best place for our house and us based on our goals. The Installation crew Saulo and his partner were ontime every day worked tirelessly and treated our property and unique needs like an "easy" job and we knew it was not always easy. They had 2 young puppies to work around and keep safe, when they needed to be outside when/where they were working. A clean/safe environment was left every day the crew was onsite. The regular follow up from Lisa during the project and after the project was completed spoke volumes to us on how the company values their clients. We would highly recommend Solid State Thank you Carolyn & Dan LeBlanc

Our interactions with Solid State Construction were fantastic. We spoke to them about our siding project and they were great to deal with. Big shout out to our rep – Adam Rigoli – he was just awesome. Friendly, helpful, hard-working and responsive – he was just a pleasure. Eventually we did opt to go with a different brand of siding not offered by Solid State but still wanted to call out how great they were to talk with on our project. Still have plenty to do and will definitely contact them again for my next project!

Just completed the re-siding of our house with Hardy Plank siding, as well as installation of a sliding glass door out to our deck. Very pleased with final outcome. Crew repaired several areas of rot which were exposed upon removal of old 40+ year old siding.

Solid State recently replaced the clapboard siding on one side of my house. The design details, materials and workmanship was very high quality and on schedule. The initial estimates included discussion of the important flashing details which is an indication of their design focus on small details that will make a lot of difference in the long term durability. They also use PVC trim and include extra wide trim where splashing could be an issue. The James Hardie siding material is an excellent product but it must be applied correctly which was done. I believe Solid State is one of the largest users of James Hardie siding in the North East.
so they really know how to apply it well. The removal of the old siding was done in one day by a crew trained for just that work and all debris was cleaned and removed. The Hardie underlayment material is very strong and was well taped at all seams. The siding and flashing was installed by a second team who were true artists. The job was done perfectly and minor extra requests (making two vent PVC mounts for another part of the house that was not part of the quote) were done readily by a crew who obviously new what complete service really means. The final pleasant surprise came when I found that the Hardie siding used does not require paint so there was a considerable cost savings on that. Contracts and billing was all done on line and seamlessly. All in all an excellent experience. I will use Solid State in the future and recommend them to others.

Solid State Construction saved me from a horrible and less than honest contractor who's work was dangerously bad and looked like it was done by remedial wood shop students. It took only a week to see that they were making a mess of my home. And ruining expensive James Hardie siding product and trim. Not to mention papering over existing holes from their window installation. They must have thought the siding would cover it up.
Solid State Construction advised me on how to proceed with properly residing my home, from rewrapping the house , properly mounting and attaching and sealing the new windows, and repairing any underlayment that required it. Basically starting over in Dec of 2020.
The crew worked in awful winter conditions, and took the time to do it beautifully and correctly. I can't say enough good things. Steve, Brandon, Norman and crew are worth every penny. And more. You cannot go wrong with Solid State Construction. Take it from someone who tried elsewhere.
Thanks for saving our house.

Everyone from Solid State was professional, friendly and SO efficient. Beautiful job on our roof and they left the perimeter absolutely spotless, not one nail left behind. 10 out of 10 would contact them again for construction needs.

I was very happy to hire Solid State
For a complex Hardie Board siding and trim replacement project. They were very professional, and completed the work flawlessly, on time and on budget. I will hire them again in the future!

Solid State did an awesome job with our siding and replacement windows and doors. We hired Solid State to reside our 99-year-old Dutch Colonial home with Hardie Siding. The house had two layers of siding: the original and 70s aluminum siding. We also replaced two new doors and two new windows as a part of the project. The Solid State crew was always punctual and hardworking and finished the project in a timely manner even during a very rainy spring. All questions and concerns were addressed in a professional manner. The house looks beautiful, and I would highly recommend Solidi State.

Solid State recently installed James Hardie siding on my 55 year old house. The transformation is amazing. The house looks brand new.
Company representatives and the Project Manager did a great job of keeping me informed during the project and the work crew did a great job cleaning up at the end. I would highly recommend them.

I couldn't be happier with Solid State's work. They did an absolutely beautiful job on our James Hardie siding, new doors, and custom-built front door surround. During the coldest weeks of winter the guys still showed up promptly every morning and left our home in neat condition at the end of each work day. The work crew, the Project Manager, Chris, and the Owner, Jeff listened to our questions and concerns before, throughout, and after the project had finished and made sure we were satisfied with how everything had turned out. They were courteous and professional, and showed the kind of attention to detail and quality of workmanship that every owner hopes for when they hire a contractor. When one of our new door locks fit a little too tight and a window needed some more caulking one of the guys came back within a week to make the adjustments. That's first-class service! We would definitely use Solid State again! Wish they did kitchens...

We selected Solid State from 5 companies, and we are very happy with the result (James Hardie siding). Sales person (Adam) was great, he explained what exactly should be done in our case, and his explanations were the most reasonable. Unlike others he did not inflate the price so that he would be able to lower it later, and his price was very reasonable. He explained that we will not pay in advance for unexpected problems like rotten wood because he does not expect substantial problems and he does not want to charge us many thousands in advance for something we most likely will not need (and he appeared right, these extra charges were reasonable and minimal). The guys that did the job were great. They paid attention to everything, they knew what they were doing, and the quality was excellent. They implemented all our reasonable requests and very politely explained why a few requests were not reasonable (they were right!). The workplace was clean at the end of each day. The result was even better than we expected.
Thank you for the excellent work!

We hired Solid State Construction to install new siding on our 30 year old home. We wanted to replace our very dry and cracking vertical cedar siding and researched several local contractors who could install Board and Batten siding but we selected Solid State as they could install the James HardieBoard Aspire siding vertically. The SSC crew arrived and completed the siding removal, re-wrapping, siding installation and necessary trim replacement within the 2-3 week period that they stated that it would be completed. Work areas were cleaned after each day and for the few minor issues that arose, the Site Project manager Chris was available via cell phone and would arrive to ensure that the crew was on-point with what needed to be done. Kudos to the field crew of Johnny and Zack who worked hard through the COVID-19 face covering protocol in the heat of summer. PM Chris and other team members were very responsive to any and all requests.

Want to share our great experience with Solid State Construction and James Hardie siding. With the house having been painted at least four times, the results of a fifth were going to be less than desired. The pictures pretty much show the before and after. It was a complete stripping of shingles, soffits, etc. Also the windows were replaced. The result is stunning, and many people walking by stopped and asked about the job. Also want to add the great experience with the crew. They were on site every day(except one Holiday and a rain day), cleaned up at the end of the day. It was also beneficial to have anticipated some unexpected issues, especially in a 55 year old house.

We had some exterior repairs done as well as removing all wood siding and replacing with Hardie fiber cement siding, installing gutters, and shutters. The house looks INCREDIBLE!! It was great working with Solid State Construction; the people are easy to reach and responsive to any questions or concerns, easy to talk to, and flexible! The installers- Norman and his team are the best - they are super nice and respectful, work diligently while also paying attention to detail and not taking shortcuts, clean up at the end of each day, and my dogs absolutely adore them! We loved having them work at the house and would absolutely reach out to Solid State for any other projects that might come up!
