BUYING SIDING IN LITTLE ROCK----MY FIRST EXPERIENCE. I MOVED TO ARKANSAS IN THE MID 1970'S FROM SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. LIKE MOST, I BROUGHT A NEW HOUSE, WELL REALLY NOT THAT NEW, IF FACT AN OLD FIXER-UPPER. ONE OF MY FIRST PROJECTS WAS TO FIX THE EXTERIOR----SIDING, WINDOWS AND A NEW ROOF. I CALLED A NUMBER OF HOME IMPROVEMENT COMPANIES INCLUDING SUPERIOR, HAYNES, SMITH BROTHER, AND ALLEN CONSTRUCTION. TO MAKE A LONG, LONG STORY SHORT, I SETTLED ON ALLEN CONSTRUCTION, NOT JUST BECAUSE THEIR ESTIMATE WAS ONE OF THE LOWEST, BUT BECAUSE I PERSONALLY LIKED THE OWNER, JOHN ALLEN. WHILE THE WORK WAS GOING ON I OFTEN SAW JOHN AND WE BECAME CLOSE FRIENDS. A FRIENDSHIP THAT CONTINUES UNTIL THIS DAY---DAMN THAT'S ALMOST 40 YEARS. TIME DOES FLY. AT ANY RATE JOHN ALLEN AND I TALK AT LEAST ONE A WEEK AND SEE EACH OTHER ABOUT ONCE A YEAR. NOT TOO MANY YEARS AGO I BUILD 2 WEBSITES FOR MY FRIEND IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD HELP HIS BUSINESS. DURING MY MANY YEARS ON THIS OLD EARTH, I'VE KNOWN A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT I MUST TELL YOU JOHN IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER MET. HE IS LITERALLY, A PERSON WHO WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK. BUT THEN I'VE NEVER HAD TO ASK FOR IT. TO THE POINT: SINCE YOU ARE READING THIS ARTICLE I GUESS YOU HAVE SOME INTEREST IN HOME IMPROVEMENTS. IF YOU ARE IN THE CENTRAL ARKANSAS AREA AND WOULD LIKE A GREAT QUOTE ON SIDING, WINDOWS, OR EVEN A ROOF PLEASE GIVE MY OLD BUDDY A CALL. ALLEN CONSTRUCTION HAS NO SALESMEN, AS JOHN PERSONALLY SEES EACH AND EVERY POTENTIAL CUSTOMER. CHECK OUT HIS WEBSITE AT ALLEN CONSTRUCTION
