UPDATE: Owner contacted me evening of April 6 to make arrangements. Website is also loading normally now. I left a voicemail on Monday, April 4 around 1 pm. Never heard back from them, so I thought I'd try sending an email instead. Today (Wednesday, April 6), their website won't load.

Burch Better Homes is a must if you are looking for siding, windows, roofing, decks, etc. They are professional! They show up when they are suppose too. NOT 2-3 hours late. The owner of the company Dan Burch, will take the time to answer your questions, give you ideas that maybe you didn't think off. He takes care of his customers to the very end of the job. They clean up afterwards and most likely leave it better then when they got there. So do not hesitate to contact Mr. Burch to get a quote. You will not regret it. Thanks!
