My experience with Ardmor was simply terrible, and I would caution anyone against even considering them for any window repairs. My husband and I are renovating a 3800 square foot 1910 home and we approached Ardmor to get a quote to repair some non-functional wood windows and replace any panes that had broken glass. This was not a very complicated job - we didn't need the windows removed, stripped, and fully renovated. We were merely looking for replacement chains, replacing missing hardware, and the glass, along with a few exterior wood sils that needed replacing. There were about 20 windows in all.
Tim, who we later found out was a new estimator at Ardmor, was friendly and seemed competent and down-to-earth. He provided a detailed, seemingly-fair-priced quote in a fairly timely manner and they had great reviews online, so we decided to go with them. Once the work began, the issues started. They only put us on the schedule for two days to complete the entire job, which was a joke. Once the 1.5 work days were complete, getting them to come back and complete the rest of the work was nearly impossible. Scheduling with the work crew was a nightmare and there were repeated delays. Only about 1/3 of the work was ultimately completed, but Ardmor sent us an invoice for the full quote amount. We went back and forth with this company about the scope of work they actually completed, versus what their quote said they would complete. This process went on for about three months.
In the end, Ardmor literally could not complete their end of the bargain. We ended up sending them a letter illustrating the tasks they had competed and paying them only for those items, and they confirmed that our account was paid in full. But that did not account for the hours and hours of our wasted time and effort, months lost, stress endured, and remaining window work that we now have to find someone else to do.
We spoke with their office staff over a dozen times, my husband got involved and tried to work it out through their supervisor, we had several follow-up meetings at our property trying to get on the same page about what work had been completed and what had not. Ardmor was repeatedly disorganized, the supervisor was rude to my husband, and the office staff seemed completely clueless, although cordial. I could not believe that a company with a good reputation and sizeable staff could be so profoundly incompetent and disorganized. I still don't understand what happened on their end, as no one ever took control of the situation and got on the same page with us. It was a chaotic mess. All for 20 windows of repair work.
NEVER AGAIN, Ardmor. read more
