    An agent telephoned to explain no enforcement of plans.

    I approached Alex Rodriguez with a remodeling project. He said he needed plans to bid from and offered under contract to draw up a set of plans. I paid, thinking the contract would protect me then he walked off the job. I complained to the CSLB who said they were limited to actual construction, not planning. I took him to court and the judge said the same, contracts for plans are not legally enforceable since plans are not real things and dismissed the case. At court Rodriguez showed the judge someone else's plans as evidence. When I objected to the false evidence the judge said it was not his role to evaluate plans and said the defendant's plans were a legal defense, whatever they were. An expensive lesson for me but of course Mr. Rodriguez knew all along what he was doing.

Michael Crooks was very responsive as a company rep and everything he quoted was delivered just as he said. The quality of the shower is excellent and we love the Koehler fixtures. We chose black on white to assist those with visual deficits and really like how they turned out! The fold down seat is also a plus for those with endurance challenges! The demolition andinstallation team of Jose, Gabriel and Jairo could not have done a better job! They were timely, efficient and professional. They demolished the shower and tub one day and took away all the debris. Then, the next day, they built the frame and installed the new walk in shower exactly as we requested. They were pleasant to have on our property and we're considerate in where they set up their workstation and parked their trucks. We did have a challenge posed by the installation day with company coming to visit us... And they worked out a mutually agreed upon date that met our needs. I highly recommend this company.. ask for this team of installers! You won't regret it!!

This is the one. Quick comments on major factors: Service - Karen and her team are professional, courteous, and experts through and through. Her company comes from a tremendous legacy of window installation mastery beginning in the UK. The initial quote appointment was informative and answered all the questions I had about the window purchase process, the materials, etc. Installation - The day of installation was incredibly smooth. Karen's team of three team members made the day go smoothly. They prepared the living room and bedrooms to minimize mess and they communicated clearly to each other each step to prevent error. Quality - These windows are top notch. I have reduced noise, better insulation, UV protection, and I do not know how I lived with my rackety single-pane windows for so long. The price I paid was worth every cent (and already reasonable off the bat). Thank you, James Price Windows, for making my life so much better in my new home!

I love the look of the windows, however I think I would just get a different brand in the future to save money, unless it was a very specific application. The pros vs cons for us are : Pros: --They have a window grid option to match the look of the grids on original wood windows. --The screens are the finest mesh that I've seen (therefore the easiest to see out of). --They did an aluminum wrap on the exterior wood window sills, which is great for durability. --Great customer service. --Great communication. --Great installation crew. Cons: --Defective grids. In our case, the grids on the windows were improperly mounted to ALL 3 windows, meaning that they either weren't straight, were misaligned, and/or had large gaps in the seams. They are now going to replace ALL 3 windows to fix this problem. --Windows (and sliding doors) feel "heavy" and therefore are harder to open/close than other brands. --Annoying sales tactics. Salespeople always attempt to make you feel like you're getting a discount/deal, but ultimately, they charge about 3X more than other brands/vendors. Example: 3 windows from them were about $15K, but 3 (larger) windows (Milgard brand) from another vendor were about $5K. (Both brands of windows have similar u-factor, solar heat gain coefficient, and visible transmittance numbers.) --They required 2 additional appointments, as compared to other vendors. One is to test for lead in the paint (due to age of our house), the other one is to have an inspector come by after the job. Inconvenient. --The inspector might go into other rooms of your house (that did not have any work performed), to check that your smoke alarms are up to code. --The nice aluminum wrap on our exterior window sills has a weird bend in one seam, and it doesn't match the other side, but it only matters if you care how it looks when standing up close.

    I had a very frustrating experience with Renewal by Andersen. The representative came out to my…read morehouse and instead of giving me a straightforward quote, he spent a long time talking about the company, their history, and their products. The entire visit felt like a long sales presentation rather than someone actually trying to help with my window project. To make matters worse, he never even gave me a real quote. It was more like him saying the project would probably be around $60,000 for 15 windows and 2 sliders. There was no real breakdown or formal estimate, just a number thrown out there after all the talking. I had already received other quotes around $20,000 for similar work. When I mentioned that, the sales rep said that if someone is quoting $20,000 it must be cheap products that will not last more than six years. That sounded more like a scare tactic than an honest explanation. The most annoying part was at the end. I told him that it seemed like he did not even want to measure anything around my house and that it was fine if he just left. Instead of addressing that, he actually had the audacity to tell me that a survey would be coming and asked me to give him a 10 star review. After sitting through a long sales pitch, not even receiving a real quote, and then being asked for a perfect review, the whole experience felt like a complete waste of time. I simply wanted someone to come out, measure the windows, and give me a fair and honest price.

All door wasn't the issue cause it was a steel door the door sweep and jamb was the issue. Justin expected me to explain to him my issue know the terms to describe the issue I was having. Which now I know after arguments w him at first. I would have thought Justin would send someone out to inspect rather than just a phone call to conclude anything. I was told termites don't eat new wood, especially pine which I found out all are not true especially pine wood. Termites love pine! Hermosa window door didn't paint the inside of the jamb before install. Who doesn't do that! Only told me to paint the outside which I did as told by the installer to avoid termite eating the wood and protect the wood. Lowe's would not replace it and do the job correct. Funny I had the house tented prior to install. But again Justin said I need to tent my home. It's my fault termites are eating the door I guess. Zero possibility they were with the wood they brought. And even if Lowe's said they'd okay the door sweep to be redone I wouldn't want hermosa window and door to do the redo. I adjusted this review to say one last thing. The door was installed properly given the manufacturer supplies given. It is not hermosa fault mostly. I wish the installer would have recommended painting inside yes he did check prior and found no damage that why it's confusing tent and no damage but after six months door is getting eaten from inside. I'm puzzled. in the end are they just the installer. Lowe's and the manufacturer are at fault mostly. Please know the product your getting Only reason I wouldn't have hermosa re install is because of our phone call. Thank you.
