EXOVATIONS solves homeowners' exterior remodeling needs with creative solutions combining curb appeal with durability. EXOVATIONS uses materials that are no or low maintenance and come with excellent warranties. In other words, EXOVATIONS create exteriors for looks and for life. By focusing our business solely on home exteriors, EXOVATIONS stays true to our strength, skill, value, and our brand.
Unlike many other replacement contractors, our sales process is informative and consultative, not the high-pressure, one-call close approach. We find that the more educated and informed our customers are, the smoother the project runs and the more likely we are to gain repeat and referral business.
That is why we say that we're changing home exteriors. We change the look of the home and the way business is conducted in our industry.
