FAQs

(Almost 30 Years!) We were founded in 1996, Incorporated & Better Business Bureau Accredited  Since  2001.  

A: As much of the work we perform is similar in scope, we are able to provide (hundreds) of references on similar projects, of various ages, in your vicinity.

Yes, our owner or an experienced member of our management team performs our estimates by scheduled appointment.  Depending on scope and complexity, this process typically takes 60-90 minutes.  All proposals are specific to the needs of the home and preferences of the homeowner, and benefit greatly from mutual involvement.

Extremely.  Our estimates are intended to reflect the final cost of project and options selected.  Clients may choose to add certain services (such as window or door replacement) but the base estimate includes all reasonably foreseeable costs of the work including stated allowances for “behind the scenes” repairs.  As our estimates are performed by our owner (or key member of management), you can be comfortable knowing your project has been quoted with the intent to deliver a finished, quality product for the price quoted.  We never “low-ball” estimates in order to generate customer interest.

Hundreds of past clients have decided our pricing is reasonable for the value we provide.  Our pricing is very competitive with reputable, experienced competitors with similar track records and credentials.  Unfortunately, that is a small group and scope recommendations tend to vary from company to company which can make comparing estimates difficult.  We are generally not competitive (in up front price) with inexperienced, unreputable companies or individuals who just want to “make a quick buck”.

Yes. Our five-year warranty on newly installed systems supplements any manufacturers’ warranties.  Our painting and repair projects carry a two year limited warranty.  Our warranty coverage and annual follow-up inspection process are unique benefits available to our renovation clients.

We have a two million-dollar liability insurance policy and full workman’s compensation coverage.  Insurance Certificates should always be provided DIRECTLY from the insurance carrier.

Although prices vary, we have found on average that installed James Hardie products are:

• Slightly more expensive than vinyl and hardboard composites
• Less expensive than brick
• Less expensive than properly applied stucco
• Less expensive or comparable to seamless, steel or aluminum

 If you intend to replace your windows within 1-2 years of your siding project it is generally best to combine the activities for maximum economy and best performance.

Absolutely.  In addition to doing Siding Replacement, we also offer Exterior Paint & Repair services – And it’s not uncommon for us to provide clients cost perspectives on several strategies. 

A: Patrick Exteriors works mostly in Johnson County Kansas (and surrounding areas). We install James Hardie Siding, Build Decks & Porches, Replace Windows & Doors, and we Repaint and Repair the Exteriors of Homes. 

Our Past Customers have access to our Service Department for smaller projects and honey dos.  

For New Customers – We tend to focus on medium and larger sized projects – (ranging from $6,000-$60,000+). Its rare for us to do stand alone repairs (or spot repairs) for new clients (unless they are part of a larger scope of work like repainting a whole house, or residing a large wall, or building a deck, etc).. 

Hand Painting involves applying paint by a brush and roller.  The paint is being “physically applied” to the substrate which creates an immediate “physical bond” as well as filling voids and edges in porous substrates.  Spray Painting refers to applying paint with a paint sprayer which, although faster, does not penetrate or seal porous substrates.  In many cases, these unsealed edges and voids are the most vulnerable areas of the siding and trim system.

In the short run it is more expensive because it is much more labor intense.  If the substrate is new (or still in good condition) hand painting pays huge dividends in extended maintenance cycles and the preservation of building materials.

(Yes) – Your in the Right Place…  Look for the Green PATRICK Shamrock – 

 In 1996 Almost (30) years ago we started as Patrick Painting...   Then in 2002 we tweeked the name a bit to Patrick Painting & Siding …  Around 2008 we settled on Patrick Exteriors to fully describe all the work we do   (Painting, Siding, Decks & Porches, Windows & Doors) …..    

Note- I am aware of a newer competitor  ” Patrick‘s Painting ”   (they are not the same as us)…
