# Mike Dudley-United Home Experts **Trade:** Windows / Siding / Gutters · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.4/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 3 sources. 60% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read United Home Experts, based in Ashland, Massachusetts, is an exterior remodeling shop where reviewers keep naming Mike Dudley directly — a knowledgeable sales contact several customers credit for how their windows and doors projects went. The company describes itself as family-owned, and Best Pick Reports lists it as a family business founded in 1998, with a founder, a wife running finance, and multiple siblings on staff. The strongest, most consistent praise is for windows and doors: a 2025 review says the entry-door and picture-window work went well enough that the same customer came back for siding, and a customer who has hired the company for multiple jobs over ten years describes project managers who kept them informed and crews that stayed on top of the details. Siding is where the record splits — that same multi-job customer called siding the weak point while calling doors and windows fine, and an undated review describes a project manager who had only been on the job two months and seemed stretched too thin. A separate 2025 review describes a smooth two-project experience covering both a door and full-house siding. The company holds a run of manufacturer certifications — Andersen, Marvin, ProVia, and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred among them — and has picked up MetroWest Daily News 'Best of the Best' recognition for window, door, siding, and roofing categories in most years from 2019 through 2025. Best Pick Reports lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC 210547) and a construction supervisor license (CS-093790) for the company, and Houzz separately lists a license number (157108) — these are the directories' own claims, not something checked against the state registry. For windows, doors, or a straightforward exterior replacement, the reviews here are the most consistent. For a full siding job, it's worth asking directly who will manage the project and how long they've been with the company, since that is exactly where the complaints on file cluster. **Strengths:** - Named sales contact — reviewers credit Mike Dudley's knowledge and attention - Windows and doors praised — repeat customers report consistent results - Manufacturer certifications — Andersen, Marvin, ProVia, Owens Corning Platinum **Concerns:** - Siding inconsistency — a repeat customer said avoid siding, fine for windows - New project manager — one review cites a manager two months on the job ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Best Pick Reports lists the company as family-owned and founded in 1998 _(confidence: medium)_ - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Stated ownership (Best Pick Reports): Family-owned” - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “BestPickReports.com roofing-category profile for United Home Experts of Ashland, MA — a family-owned company founded in 1998 with a 4.8-star…” - Best Pick Reports shows a 4.8-star compiled score from 228 ratings, with 211 five-star and 7 one-star reviews _(confidence: high)_ - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Best Pick Reports: 4.8★ from 228 ratings” - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Best Pick Reports star distribution: 211 5★ · 4 4★ · 3 3★ · 3 2★ · 7 1★ (of 228 ratings)” - Holds manufacturer certifications from Andersen, Marvin, ProVia, and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred _(confidence: high)_ - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Listed certification: Andersen Certified Contractor” - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Listed certification: Marvin Certified Installing Retailer” - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Listed certification: ProVia Certified Installer” - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Listed certification: Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor” - Named a MetroWest Daily News 'Best of the Best' winner for window and door, siding, and roofing categories from 2019 to 2025 _(confidence: high)_ - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Listed certification: 2019-2025 MetroWest Daily News Best of the Best award winner for Best Window & Door Company, Best Siding Company, and …” - Best Pick Reports lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC 210547) and a construction supervisor license (CS-093790) for the company _(confidence: medium)_ - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Licence listed on Best Pick Reports: HIC 210547” - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “Licence listed on Best Pick Reports: CS-093790” - Houzz separately lists a license number (157108) for the business _(confidence: low)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/window-sales-and-installation/mike-dudley-united-home-experts-pfvwus-pf~2047577686) — “Licence listed on Houzz: License Number 157108” - Reviewers name Mike Dudley directly for his knowledge and attention through the sales and project process _(confidence: medium)_ - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “I was introduced to United Home Experts while researching Everlast composite siding installers in the area, and from my very first conversat…” - [Best Pick Reports](https://www.bestpickreports.com/roofers/boston/united-home-experts) — “I have hired United Home Experts for multiple jobs over the last 10 years.
