Jay was wonderful to work with on our recent siding project! We received a few quotes, and his was by far the most reasonable. From the beginning, we also got a great feeling about working with him—he was easygoing, communicative, and incredibly accommodating throughout the entire project.

We ended up adding a few things and making some last-minute changes (replacing a window, a door, and even framing a new shed) along the way, and Jay was always happy to work with us. He never made us feel like we were being difficult or asking for too much, which we really appreciated.

His crew was equally wonderful—courteous, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. Our 1950's rambler had some quirks to work through, including multiple layers of old siding and some questionable work from over the years, and they handled everything beautifully. The attention to detail really shows, and our house looks brand new!

We had such a great experience working with Jay and his team and couldn’t recommend them enough.

For a high quality and reasonably priced paint and siding job I couldn’t have been happier selecting Smith Exteriors to handle my project.  Jay and his crew did an awesome job making my almost 70 year old home look great again. It involved plenty of meticulous prep work that involved sanding and caulking. Jay is an absolute pleasure to work with and his crew are highly skilled and professional.  Don’t hesitate to call Jay if you are in need of exterior siding and paint services.  You will not be disappointed.  Thanks again for a great job Jay!

Went with Smith Exteriors to have the house siding replaced and to have the house repainted. We were very happy with the results. Jay the owner was easy to work with and they were able to get our project done promptly. The work crew was great and went the extra mile when they didn't have to.

Replaced siding which has been behind  deck we removed. Did a great job - Jay showed me everything after they removed the old failed siding- shows me that the plywood behind it had not failed. Jay is a great, patient communicator.

After replacing some siding, they did an entire exterior painting for us starting with prep like scraping/removing bad caulk, re-caulking and power washing to remove grime, etc.

End result for us is peace of mind and a great looking house.

Thank you, Smith Exteriors!

We've used Jay Smith and Smith Exteriors for two major projects on our home, and he's delivered on both.
The first was our rooftop deck — the old decking had warped badly and needed a full replacement. Jay came in and replaced it properly, giving us a solid, level surface we should have had all along.
The second job was our exterior siding, and what he found when he opened up the walls was alarming — the previous contractor had installed new building paper directly over the original without ever inspecting the plywood underneath. There was extensive water damage and wood rot hidden for years. Jay's crew repaired all of it: new plywood, Tyvek housewrap, re-flashing every window and door, new primed James Hardie lap siding, two coats of Sherwin Williams Super Paint, and sealing of the coping metal around the roof. When it was done, the framing lumber that had been wet for who knows how long had finally dried out — proof that the house is now truly watertight.
Jay communicated clearly throughout both projects and provided completion photos and a detailed written summary of everything done. If you want someone who does the job right — and catches what the last guy missed — Jay is your contractor.

I highly recommend Smith Exteriors and Jay's team. They recently replaced a couple of windows in my home and painted the exterior, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
When they removed the old windows, they discovered that a previous installation had been done incorrectly, with no flashing and no exterior trim around the windows. Jay took the time to explain the problem and made sure everything was corrected and installed properly. The attention to detail and quality of workmanship were outstanding.
Jay and his crew were punctual, professional, and meticulous throughout the entire project. They kept the work area clean, cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day, and even wore booties inside the house so they wouldn't track dirt onto my floors.
The house looks fantastic, the new windows are properly installed, and I have peace of mind knowing the underlying issues were fixed correctly. If you're looking for a contractor who takes pride in doing the job right, I would not hesitate to recommend Smith Exteriors.

We just finished a full siding replacement from Smith Exteriors and couldn’t be happier! We had the old recalled LP siding from 30 years ago+ and they replaced it with James Hardie siding. They also managed the full house and trim painting (including door) and gutter replacement. The quality of their work was fantastic, and Jay was there every step of the way. Extremely flexible and the follow-through was spot on. I had a few bids from some other “larger” companies, but Smith was very competitively priced. His crews were also hard working all the way through, showed up on time and worked late if they needed to catch up. We have zero regrets and you won’t either.

Working with Smith Exteriors has been an absolute pleasure. Jay and his crew installed a new sliding door for our master bedroom, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Their pricing was very reasonable, coming in lower than most other companies we considered - while still delivering top notch service and quality workmanship. Extremely happy with the final result and will definitely be using them again for all our future exterior projects. Thank you, Jay!

We used Smith Exteriors for a siding replacement and paint, as well as gutter replacement. Jay and his crew were very efficient, communicative, and punctual. The price was as good or better than the other quotes I received and we couldn't be happier with the end result! Highly recommend them and will use them again for any exterior work we need in the future.

ALL THE STARS: Working with Smith Exteriors has been outstanding! The team replaced siding and windows for our home. From the beginning of the project, it was obvious why they have all these 5-star reviews. Jay is the very best and an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish, Jay was always prompt with communication and so helpful. Everyone was very kind and so hard working. Our neighbors could not believe how quickly the project was completed and everything looks amazing. I highly recommend Smith Exteriors and am so thankful we chose them for our project.
