    Horrible experience. Awful customer service.

    Reply from the business

    Jaden, I’m really sorry you had a horrible experience and that our customer service let you down. If you’re willing, please reach out and share a few details about what happened so I can look into it personally and see how we can make this right.

    They were great when family owned. Now corporate, they are horrible including there management. Their team caused thousands of dollars in damages to my property including landscaping, roof, lights, security cameras & potting bench to name a few. Don't make the mistake I made. There are many great companies that offer service deserved. Even after complaints, their management is unapologetic and demanding. Stay away from them!!!!!!!

    Buddy, I’m really sorry to hear about the damage you experienced and how you were treated when you tried to get it addressed. That’s not the standard we want at Kirkin Exteriors, and I’d like the chance to review what happened and make this right—please contact our office with your project address and the best way to reach you so a manager can follow up promptly.

    I was a huge fan of Kirkin until recently. We recently experienced an issue and we called multiple times (6-7) for someone to call us so we can discuss the concern. We've also texted to cover all our bases. 2 weeks later, NO ONE has called us to discuss the issue. Up until now, I was actively referring people to Kirkin as I was pleased with my past experiences. Now, I find them wholly unresponsive and we still have an issue that has gone unresolved. Very disappointed in the decrease in service.

We take your concerns seriously and would like to resolve this matter promptly. Our Director of Operations has been in contact, and will be meeting with you and your husband this week.

    employees have no respect for the law, or children as they ZOOM past school busses that are picking/dropping kids off with their STOP sign out. I would find a more respectable company to deal with.

    Amber Marie, thank you for bringing this serious matter to our attention. Please be assured that this behavior is completely unacceptable and does not reflect the standards we uphold at Kirkin Exteriors. We have addressed this immediately with the driver in question, and we are reinforcing our safety protocols with all employees to ensure such an incident never happens again.

    I had Kirkin come out diagnose the problem with my ten year old roof that was leaking. They did and proposed to fix it for over 3k. The first time it rained after they allegedly fixed it water came in in multiple places. Spoke with the GM …

    Hi Clay! Thank you for your feedback on this issue. I’ve pulled up your account, and it shows you signed a contract for siding and roof repairs in December. The contracted work that was agreed upon was completed by our technicians in early January. After your call stating that you were still leaking, we came to assess this and it was determined that the leak was coming from an area outside of the work that was completed. Unfortunately, as explained thoroughly by Andrew, when working on older buildings there could be several causes of leaks in multiple locations. A more extensive estimate was offered to provide further assistance which was declined. Please do not hesitate to give us a call any time at 302-832-7663 to discuss this further. I hope this clarifies any confusion, and again, thank you for your business and your feedback.

  • 1 out of 5Claudius Peters2 years ago

    I recently had my home's siding partially fixed , and unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. The workmanship was subpar, with noticeable inconsistencies and I continue to have leaks from areas that were not in the initial area of the issue . The job were poorly done, and there are leaks in several places. Additionally, they’ve come twice after the initial work, after each visit, things appears to be worse then they met it. I was then told there have to be a new estimate ,which will cost me more for a job that was not done properly. Communication with the contractor was challenging, and addressing concerns proved to be an uphill battle. Overall, I cannot recommend their services based on the disappointing outcome of the siding job.

    Reply from the business

    Hi Claudius, thank you for taking the time to detail your experience with Kirkin! We'd like to clarify any questions or concerns you may have. We made repairs to your leaking window in December according to your visual assessment and contract. We did not install the siding at your home, therefore we cannot be held responsible for the entire wall and any issues it may cause. We understand your frustration, however we have fulfilled our contracted work and have offered to give other estimates to expand the repair area. I hope this helps, and thank you again for choosing Kirkin Exteriors.

    This company doesn’t care if their drivers crack your windshield on a major highway because nobody died says “Danielle” who also was rude and hung up on me. She is an employee who currently works for the company. Very disappointed in the lack of consideration and professionalism.

  • 1 out of 5Costly Mac3 years ago

    I would avoid this company at all cost. I called them in 2020 for a simple siding repair on one specific area. Instead of them being professional and advising they cannot repair the area. They took my cash and fake repaired the area. A few …

    Unbelievable customer service from the first phone call until my new roof was installed. Can't thank Danny and Will enough. Made the whole process very easy, no bs, just the facts. Both were very informative and answered all my questions about the replacement process. Couldn't be happier, I highly recommend. Thank you Kirkin Exteriors.

    We needed an emergency roof patch repair and had a deadline to provide to our homeowners insurance. Everyone was booked, even Kirkin , but they understood the situation and squeezed us in even during this sweltering heat. They provide top notch customer service and support, are reasonably priced and do an outstanding job! Highly recommend this company

  • 5 out of 5Tina Henry-Smitha year ago

    James Worthy was our Service Technician. Before my husband told him what our problem was, James had pointed out what needed to be done. He gave us an estimate, we agreed on the cost and the repairs needed and he got right to work. We are very satisfied with the repairs and will be calling if any other repairs are needed. We've been telling our neighbors and family about Kirkin since we had our roof replaced. They will continue to be our first choice when it comes to roofing and siding. Thanks James.
