FROM JACK’S DESK…

We don’t do cheap!! Just a few observations about how the window and siding renovation industry is changing…..

As we head into the autumn season, we at Jack’s are also heading into what is normally our busiest time of year for siding and window installations. And this year is no exception. So please be patient. If you need your siding and window work done right away, be wary of any company that offers quick service. If their work is just sub-contracted out to free-lance installers, to get it done quickly, job quality and even product quality may become an issue. Most good siding companies, and even the good custom window manufacturers, are historically booked solid at this time of the year.

Trust me, it makes more sense to be willing to wait a few extra weeks, and be happy with the result, rather than hiring a franchise renovator, a new construction based siding company, or a roofer that does this on the side. As a matter of fact, we are already booking some work for next spring with clients that have learned that we are worth the wait.

It was around 1990 that we at Jacks decided to get away from doing subdivision new construction siding work and concentrate on renovation window and siding replacement. That meant getting away from low gauge and low quality products and sourcing out heavier gauge siding and aluminum soffit and eavestrough products. That meant focusing on higher standards in installation practices and not free lancing or subcontracting any work out. For example we are the only company in the area, that I know of, that fastens all of their eavestrough components with rust-free coloured aluminum rivets, instead of painted zinc screws that rusts. We only install aluminum soffit that is about 50% thicker than what you will find at the local lumberyards and even the local siding suppliers. And the same principal applies to the vinyl siding and the custom vinyl wall shingle that we install. And there is a world of a difference in the vinyl window that we sell, compared to what you will find from the local building supply retailers…

So, if all you are after is the cheapest price, and a quick installation, don’t call us. Instead, go ahead and call your ‘friend of a friend of a friend’ who will do the job for less, quite often for cash. But if you want a reasonably priced window siding or eavestrough installation, call the company that is fiercely proud of every job that we do. Call the local siding contractor who will only use installers who have decades of experience, who warranties everything they install. Call the company that does everything above the table. Call the company that has withstood the test of time.

Call Jack’s Aluminum Limited. After all, we know how to install, and we also know how not to install…

We are reasonable but, we don’t do cheap!!

Buy from your local contractor…Jack’s Aluminum Ltd. We are here to stay…Since 1976.
