As a homeowner you may want a company that is working with a small exterior renovation company who estimates his projects and builds them on his own. Be sure you understand the pros and cons of this, though. You may prefer a company who has a team of employees so you know the project will be completed in a timely fashion. Truly the decision is yours but take the time to be well informed about the company you select. It will be in your best interest to be sure your contractor’s priorities and values are aligned with yours.
