    HONEST REVIEW. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. First time using Home Improvements USA. Was connected with them through Angi's List. Their sales rep John Broich was very good on the first visit. Sane when he came out for the second visit and this is when I decided to move forward with this company. I liked their roof shingle product they offered (brand of shingle is Malarkey) and thought it was very innovative. Even though John told me they would be 6-8 weeks out from starting the roof replacement project, they actually started within about 4 weeks. This is when the problems started. I received a phone call on a Friday morning from their main office advising me they would like to come out the next Monday to start AND complete the project within the same day. Their sales rep also advised me this should only take 1 day. I thought this was a bit of short notice but considering I did not need to be home, I told them this was ok. Their office rep also told me that he was surprised that someone did not call me sooner to confirm the start date and should have done this. When the next Monday came around, I then received a call confirming the workers were on their way and should arrive in about 1 hour. I then received another call about 30-60 minutes later telling me their truck broke down and they would have to reschedule. I told them I was already not liking this back and forth but if they needed to reschedule then fine, since again, I did not need to be home. About an hour later, I received another phone call saying that they got another truck and would still make it out today. I told them to only come out if they could still get the roof done in 1 day since a couple of hours had now been lost at this point. They insisted on still coming out that day. They arrived and got to work. When their sales rep first came out, I asked about a couple of extra things I wanted to have done and their Sales rep said it would be no problem at all. When their office rep called the Friday before I asked him to confirm the requested extras were known about and on the work order. He seem to have no idea what I was talking and even said those are things that they don't normally do. This is now the 2nd time of miscommunication, first time being the scheduling issue. He said he would talk with the sale rep and the owner of the company and get this straightened out. When the work was being done, I came home at lunch to check on the progress. To my surprise the owner of the company was there watching over everything. I then asked the owner for an update on the progress. While we were talking he made no mention of the few extra things I requested. Again, I advised him what their sales rep agreed to but, this tells me that their office rep did not communicate properly with the owner about the extra requests. The owner guaranteed me that the extra requests would be included and taken care of. At the end of the day, they did finish the roof replacement but they did do any of the extra requests. I contacted back to the owner and he advised that the foreman on the job had an emergency and had to leave early. When the last worker was wrapping up for the day, he told me someone would be by within 1 hour to pickup the trailer they parked in the driveway that they collected all of the debris and garbage in so it would not be in the driveway overnight. No one came to pick it up that night. That was miscommunication #3. Please see attached picture for full/ REMAINING REVIEW. I can not recommend this company due to multiple times of miscommunication. The overall pricing was also seemingly good at first but not worth it after all of the troubles, miscommunications, and cleanup I had to do. But, I would recommend the shingle product itself. I'm sure there are other companies that install the Malarkey shingle product. I have attached pictures of this project. I'm giving 2 out of 5 stars which equals a D. A passing grade sure but, not a good grade.

    I throughly appreciated working with Home Improvements for the installation of our new roof. Not only did we need a new roof, but we also needed to add venting. Our installer was able to identify the venting problem for us, and we are so thankful he did. We received a new roof, proper ventilation, a new chimney and are very pleased with the results. For quality and complete work, I would recommend Home Improvements without hesitation.

    Everlast roofing has done a fantastic job repairing our roof after hail storm damage…read more They diligently worked with our insurance company to make sure our damage was covered and the pricing was fair. The job was done in one day and the quality was superb. They cleaned up so well, you couldn't even tell they had just spent the entire day replacing our roof and skylights. We are very satisfied with the complete job and they get a five star plus rating from us! Services: Gutter

    We chose Mike with Everlast over several other vendors due to quality and Mike's reputation for…read moregreat customer service. We started the process in early January and were told the windows would not be ready until perhaps early March, but were pleasantly surprised when Mike said they were ready early. We would have had them the first week of February had it not been for the famous below 0 degree temperatures in the area that week. We had them installed the second week of February instead. Pros: -Received and had windows installed earlier than anticipated. -Took 2.5 days for all of our 27 windows and back glass door replacement. Due to cold temperatures, they worked one at a time so the house wouldn't get too cold. -was honest and fair on pricing and received referral bonus up front. -Mike always answered our calls with questions promptly and personally would come by to inspect and/or help facilitate letting his vendors in if needed. -You could tell the difference in drafts in the corrected areas from inside day 1. No further drafts and they look great! Cons: -4-5 months after installation and 3 of our 27 windows have leaks. We alerted Mike to this and he sent his worker to take a look - they said it was due to the trim on the outside that they didn't replace. Before installation, they indicated that it is not part of their services to replace. However, they didn't tell us before or during that our trims were so old that they would leak - we would have replaced them prior to the new windows if we knew this. We asked if we needed to replace them before and they said no. One of the windows that is leaking does not even have trim on it. When they came out to resolve, they added caulk around the trim and bent flashing for us for the front windows. The flashing should have been installed in the initial installation to prevent leaks. We are not able to get it installed until the new trim pieces are up... Even though they did not inform us about possible leaks, they should have removed the trim and put a water barrier in place before installation and before new trim was able to be installed. -Mike and his installers have a bit of an issue with taking accountability for issues. We were disappointed when his installers broke the interior of a window upon installation - it was safe to use, and they put cardboard over it, but the resolution took 20 seconds and Mike's installers insist it was somehow the manufacturer's fault. It took weeks for us to have this corrected, even though, again, resolution took 20 seconds. -While in the process of service correction for said window, the manufacturer was inflexible on timing and was scheduling more than a week out. Mike's response was that it isn't in his hands. No apology for the inconvenience of the broken window or the inflexibility of his vendor. -The manufacturing vendor cancelled day of (1 hour before). Reschedule availability wasn't until 10 days later. -The caulking the install team did had bubbles and cracks in some windows and just didn't look like a professional did it. When we told Mike of this issue, he said caulking is an "art" and his people are really just installers and don't need to be perfect at caulking. We personally feel that if installing windows is 100% of their jobs, caulking would be part of that job and they should look 100% well done. We had to redo some of it right off the bat. -Every issue that came up, Mike would just say he hoped we could focus on the positive aspects of the experience. It felt very dismissive. -They left aluminum scraps scattered across the backyard where our young children play. Cleanup in the back specifically was just not done to standards. We referred him to my mother's windows and they generally did okay, but did break one of her personal stained glass art by not being careful. No compensation or resolution was offered, minus an apology. We appreciated his team's work and like the products in general, but there is definitely room for improvement in the customer service department and potentially the product itself with the leaks. Considering part of his selling point was 100% satisfaction, we were left disappointed in that aspect.
