Southers Construction

I've been meaning to write this review for awhile now, but it's been difficult because I want to give an honest summary of our experiences - warts and all - while still being fair about the end result.

Yes, there were some difficulties, however Donna, Ricky, Tim, & the whole Southers team made sure they were acknowledged, fixed, and in the end we are thrilled with the results. You can teach a person skills or a new role, but what you can't do is teach someone to care. These people care about the work they do & they're willing to put in the time & effort until it's done right. That level of dedication is priceless.

I'll leave you with a few key lessons that I've learned during this project.

1. Make sure you have a permit to hang in your window before any work starts.
2. If your house is older than 1978, test for lead paint. Any estimates should include the cost of lead abatement.
3. Maintain open, active communication and don't be afraid to advocate for yourself.
4. Stay organized! Keep any/ all documentation and photos throughout the project.

We contracted Southers to do our addition. A sizable project 24x29. 2 story with under car garage. They tackled it well, communication was free flowing. The crews were all very polite, they showed up when they said they would. From the ground up the project was handled well. Everyone we worked with at Southers was pleasant and understanding of the fact that we were still living in the home while this all happened. Many thanks to Southers crew for making this a pleasant experience. We would recommend them.

Southers was totally professional from start to finish. I ordered a garden window for my kitchen (from Lowes) and by the time it was delivered (4 months!) Winter was approaching. Southers understood my predicament and fit my window install into their schedule. Rick came out, estimated the install and associated work, and gave me a good deal on the spot. Since I am a disabled veteran, they gave me a military discount (the owner is a veteran) Southers expedited the job and the crew they sent was professional, skilled and friendly. I will use Southers again in the Spring as I upgrade and remodel my lakehouse. Honestly, these people are the best I've found in New Hampshire.

We had a great experience with Southers and plan to use them for several more roofing projects. We hired them to re-flash a roof leak near our chimney for us and when they were here the guys also fixed a leaking hose they saw on my property/ just to be helpful! Professional, reliable, affordable and kind folks!

Jamie guided us through material selection and pricing so we could make residing our house a reality. Matt kept us posted with regular updates as our siding project was completed. His team worked quickly and efficiently. The materials are high quality, the workmanship great, and Matt was very receptive to detailing requests at project closeout. Now the house looks brand new and the siding will be maintenance free for decades! Thanks for peace of mind, Southers!

I woke to a leak in my kitchen ceiling. Asked online for suggestions, and was put in touch with Ricky. He came by that day and provided me with options. It was straight forward and financing was available with reasonable terms. ( I did get other quotes as well.)

Within the week, the crew arrived. Even with a little more decay than originally expected, I had a new, sturdier roof with better ventilation by the end of the day. I had one issue and called Ricky. He came over 2 days later, on a Sunday, and took care of it. I believe in supporting local businesses and made an excellent decision going with Souther. I would consider Souther for additional projects in the future.

I have been dealing with Southers since they first been around. I live in a mobile home which on its self is very hard to find someone that will work on the. Southers Came right out asked what I would like done and the relationship started. I had black mold in my ceiling from a 5 year old roof from a previous company that would not honor their work, Southers was very honest with me and stated I only needed a few parts replaced however during the Job I decided to have everything removed, there was no hassle saying well we will have to come back ect. My roof was only supposed to take a week. But because I asked mid job for different things Southers was at my home almost 3 weeks. The Workers and Ricky never once expressed frustration with me, instead all they cared about was that I was happy. They always arrived on time, and even worked with my 3rd shift work schedule. I ended up given everyone on that roofing crew Saws due to being professional.

Flashforward year later I needed my windows done so I had contacted Clearchoice to do that, at the same time I wanted a Deck done, Ricky and one of his Salesman came out, I started talking about how I had a window crew coming but wanted to make sure no one was in the way for the decking. That's when even more greatness came. The Southers team ran some numbers and saved me thousands, because I had already bought the windows from Clear Choice the team right away said we will go get the windows ( Manchester) I live in Rochester. They did not charge me extra for that. Long story short. And many Ideas ( changes on my part) later Southers done 7 Jobs at my house and I will not use anyone else.

I have seen this company growing at a fast rate, The owner believes in Core Values to keep his business running and his employee to live by. That means a lot because not many contractors even know what Core Values for a business mean.

Keep up the great work Ricky and the rest of the Southers Team. You are making an impact in the communities you work in.

Southers installed Hardie shake siding and replaced several window on our home. It's done except for a few final touches and we couldn't be more happy. Tommy worked with us to scope, schedule and get the project rolling, and Steve coordinated crews, provided expert assistance when needed, and worked with us and our 100+ year old house as unplanned situations arose. Steve was available for question or concerns and had answers to all our questions. The window and siding crew was efficient, professional, dedicated, and respectful of our family and neighbors. Southers managed to keep the feel of our old home while providing a much needed update.

Southers is an amazing and trustworthy contractor! Everyone I worked with was very professional and knowledgeable. Matt Laurin put a team together to do the complete upgrade of my home .New siding and deck - updates inside as well included some doors and windows and drywall repair! You can count on Southers for just about any home improvement need you have ! Fair and reasonable pricing as well.

I first used Southers to install new gutters to my home. They were always responsive to questions, quick to return calls and very professional. They recently installed a new front door for me. Again, on time, was very personable and the job turned out great! I trust them to be fair and prompt. I just called to see about a third project!

Southers Construction is as professional as it gets. Michael gave us a great presentation and explained how the process would work from start to finish. Once the work started, we were assigned Tyler as the project manager, and he was great to work with. He answered the phone every time; no "phone tag" or miscommunication at all. The quote was accurate; they replaced only what needed to be replaced for the barn board, which ended up being "free" in that 2 panels are already included in the price. The roof and gutters came out awesome, and I trust their 50 year/2 owner warranty based on how they run their business. I would absolutely recommend Southers to anyone in the Dover/Seacoast area looking to replace their roof for good! (The picture doesn't do the work done justice; Colonial Slate is a great color)

The Boys at Southers came out to my Kingston home and looked at a problem I had from a previous roofer. They diagnosed my problem and offered a solution. They demonstrated their expertise and knowledge of what was needed to protect my home. I would highly recommend you contact them fopr your roofing, siding, window and exterior home needs!

I used Southers construction to install much needed gutters on my home. Sean was very informative on what size gutters would work because my landscaping would only allow one downspout per front and back of home. Gutters were installed in a timely fashion and at a very reasonable price. I reached out to Sean about the size of the downspouts and within a week the crew was back and everything is now perfect. We are more than happy with our experience using Southers and especially Sean’s professionalism and fast response.

We had a great experience getting a new roof installed by Southers Construction. Eli's crew was the best! They were respectful, on time, worked hard, and cleaned up extremely well. We are very happy!

Southers Construction replaced the cedar siding on one side of my home, the south side (gets all the sun). The original 32 year side was way beyond repair. Jade gave me recommendations and a quote. Ron and his crew did a bang up job of replacing it. All joints are straight and true. It took two weeks. Last Monday it was stripped and Typar added, then it rained the rest of the week. This Monday through Wednesday completed. If I have any complaints it is not with Southers but with Mother Nature. Excellent work Southers!

Ricky and the guys were able to really help me out in a bind. Ricky got out to look at my project very quickly and was able to provide me with a quote next day. The job was completed in an extremely timely manner and I am very impressed with the quality of the work. I will refer my friends and family to Ricky and the guys in the future. Well done! Thank you.

Mickey and Jeremy showed up on time, were pleasant and professional. They worked together like a finely oiled machine. The quality of their craftsmanship and competence shows in the installation off my window! They were patient and kind to my 6 year old who had a ton of questions and wanted to be their helper. I highly recommend them. I love my new window!

WE met Carson at first after our son shared his experience with us.
We called and Carson was able to meet with un in a few days. The meeting went great, and he is very personable. He loved our pup and played with her after our meeting. Shire loved him as well.
Anyway, they quoted us 6 weeks approximately depending on being able to get material for Vinyl siding for our home.. Steve the project manager was another plus to this company. As he was pretty sure they could get the material. in 4. Steve explained everything and answered all our questions promptly as well as professionally.
We got the call in about 4 weeks our dumpster was delivered, and the following Monday they were here.
The workers were extremely hard working very professional. Our friend who owns his own painting company and was painting our garage kept telling us how professional they were, doing the job correctly.
Other than the rain it took about 5 days to get the job done.
Eli was on site with his crew and also answered any questions we may have had.
In the end we added gutters to our home and also to the newly painted garage.
We highly recommend them to anyone who has questions for us.

We hired Southers to install 13 windows and a door in our screened-in porch, and they did a fantastic job. Mike gave us the quote, and he was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Eric, Max, and Niko, who did the install, were excellent craftsmen, and were also very polite and professional. They exceeded our expectations--all the windows and doors were non-standard sizes, so they expanded the openings, replaced all the framing (some of the wood had rotted), and trimmed the interior and exterior to perfection.

Also, I mentioned to Eric that I was planning to put flooring down so we could use the room most of the year, and he suggested they add insulation underneath. He got me a price (which was very reasonable), and they added two layers of insulation under the porch along with strapping to make sure it stayed in place.

All-in-all, Southers was a pleasure to deal with, and we would highly recommend them.

We hired Southers Construction to replace the siding and repair water damage to the sheathing on one side of our house in Rochester, NH. We were extremely pleased with their work. They were the only company who called us back and set up a next day estimate. Carson, their Sales rep, was friendly and stayed a long time to answer all our questions. Steve, their project manager, came out a few days later and explained in detail how the work would be done. He sent out Eric and his crew from EJP who impressed us with their knowledge and work ethic. They arrived first thing in the morning and stayed until late in the evening with minimal breaks. They finished the job in two days. They fixed the defects of the original builder. The James Hardie composite siding they recommended looks far better than our original cedar siding. We highly recommend Southers Construction and plan to use them again to redo our roof and replace more of our siding.
