Reviews from our Satisfied Customers

Denise C - 5 Star

The workers at Cutting Edge were VERY thorough & professional. One of the things we most appreciated was having a complimentary meeting with a color consultant, as my partner & I are not color/style competent. There were SO many decisions to be made since we had all of the following work done: new roof, new siding, painting of siding, new windows & front door, 2 sliding glass doors, porch overhang built, and 3 slabs of cement poured for patios and driveway. Through all these decisions, Brandon & his staff provided advice & options for us. It was an intense couple of months but the crew at Cutting Edge exceeded all our expectations. This company was a dream to work with, they communicated well & they met all deadlines they had set for our project. I give Brandon and his crew my highest recommendation.

Diane H - 5 Star

High quality workmanship, positive attitudes, integrity, trust, and outstanding communications made this an exceptional experience. Sean and Israel and their crews were absolutely amazing to work with. We had unforeseen problems with our home and the team at Cutting Edge met our needs. We highly recommend this company.

Wendy W - 5 Star

Officers’ Rowhouse Condominium Association is a small privately managed HOA. We were badly in need of new siding. We obtained six different siding bids, including Cutting Edge. Because we are not professionals we looked for a company that was very professional in communication, detailed paperwork and follow through to aid us in a very complicated project. Our siding project required structural repair, roofing repair and dry rot repair before siding could even begin. Cutting Edge was able to perform all the phases of our project through to painting and gutters. The project was lengthy and Cutting Edge was in communication will all the homeowners of our HOA. In consultations with all of the membership of the HOA we unanimously endorse Cutting Edge as the best choice we could have made for our project. We give Cutting Edge 5-stars for the excellent work on our beautiful, nearly new, building.
