Siding is the job people hire Val-U Home Improvements for. A recent customer had the house re-sided with pre-painted James Hardie siding and PVC trim, replacing old cedar shingles over plywood sheathing with carpenter ant damage, and said George and his project manager were very responsive to questions. A recent Google reviewer singled out Carlos, who led the siding removal and install, as efficient and professional. The company says it has 41 years in business, and its website lists a service area of Brookfield, Litchfield, New Haven, Fairfield, Hartford and Middlesex. On its BBB profile it describes roofing, siding, windows, decks and gutter installation, and that BBB page shows an A+ grade. A 2025 customer said they switched from cedar shingles to vinyl and that the project finished on time despite rain. A 2024 reviewer replaced 60-year-old cedar shingles with Hardie lap siding and said the crew worked long days in 90+ degree heat and completed the job in the predicted nine days. A 2024 customer called George the owner and said he was hands on and followed up. A 2023 customer said he gave a fair price and was pleased with the siding and windows. A 2022 customer had siding, new doors and windows installed and said the job started ahead of schedule and was done within a week of starting. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0539166, as active, held by George Val Carroll.
George and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. Great communication from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier with the finished work. Special shout out to Carlos, who led the siding removal and install. He was efficient and professional. Would highly recommend Val U Home Improvements to anyone looking for new house siding.
Val-U Home Improvements did a fantastic job residing our home with pre-painted James Hardie siding and PVC trim. We had old cedar shingles and a lot of carpenter ant damage to the plywood sheathing. The crew that worked on our job were true craftspeople. George and his project manager were very responsive when we had questions or concerns. Great experience all around. We are so happy to have the old damaged wood gone and the beautiful Hardie siding instead. Our house is no longer the ugliest one on the block.
Amazing work! We recently switched from cedar shingles to vinyl after our painter told us the old shingles were shot. George was wonderful to work with. He gave great options and advice. His crew was meticulous and diligent. They finished the project on time despite rain. Highly recommend.
Valu homes just finished siding my house. I'm very happy with the results. George, the owner is hands on and follows up and communicates on an on going basis. Thank you George to you and your crew!!
Our plan was to replace 60-year-old cedar shingles with Hardie LAP siding. The Hardie company referred us to four qualified contractors in our area. We excluded the one who denigrated his competitors and the one who was absurdly self-aggrandizing. George Carroll is a trained engineer, very knowledgeable, provides straightforward answers to questions, and a man of his word. The job started on time, the crew worked long days in 90+ degree heat, and completed the job in the predicted nine days. The finished product is flawless. We enthusiastically recommend Val-U for re-siding projects (particularly James Hardie siding which must be done in accordance with company installation instructions).
