We saw a rep at a home & garden show. The rep told us they could do our windows, roof & siding which is what we were in the market for so we left our information so they could come to our home to give us an estimate. The salesman, Jordan arrived and spent a few hours looking at the house, getting measurements and going through our options for colors, window sizes & quality levels of everything we needed. We chose the "good" quality instead of the "better" or "best" due to the cost. The initial estimate for everything was given and we accepted the estimate and signed for them to do the work. A week or so later, the salesman called and set up a time to meet with us and get more precise measurements. His supervisor came with him and we were informed he had made MAJOR errors in the amount of materials needed for our project. The cost ended up being nearly double the original estimate, but we accepted it based on the fact we were assured we had been moved to the top of the priority list and they would have a team out to start working on our roof within the next couple of weeks. We hadn't heard anything at the end of the 2nd week so my husband called and left a message for the project manager inquiring about timing. He received a text back with no real answer, just "I'll look into it and get back to you". At the 3 week mark, we were told the weather had prevented other projects from being finished so they were unable to start on ours until others were finished. After the 4th week had gone by, I called the office and asked to speak with someone in charge. I was transferred to our project manager, told him my name and let it be known we were tired of waiting and I was ready to contact my attorney if work didn't get started within the next 7 days. Needless to say, the roofers FINALLY showed up to get THEIR final measurements so they could get materials ordered.
2 weeks after the roof was done, the window installers FINALLY showed up to install windows. The installation was okay, but the trim they used was beyond flimsy & cheap (I think they got it at the bargain basement home store). A week or so after the windows were installed, one of the regular contractors for the company showed up and put a better quality trim up on some of the windows, vacuumed the work area and left.
A couple of weeks later, the siding crew showed up. THEY were the best crew we had! They had the old siding off, the house wrapped & the new siding up all in the same week. By our standards, it looked great and we were happy with it. The only downside to the siding crew was all but 1 of them spoke Spanish. Thankfully, the 1 who was bi-lingual was the crew supervisor and worked great with us, answering our questions and following our direction when they weren't sure on something. They tore down an old chimney from a fireplace we planned to remove and neatly stacked the good bricks for us after my husband asked to save the useable bricks. They also cleaned up after themselves in such a way that we couldn't tell they had been here!
Taylor came to do a final inspection on all the work and found quite a few areas that still needed some work. It took a couple of weeks for that to get done. We were assured during the sales process they would maintain communication on a regular basis, the project manager would be present at our home to monitor the progress and we had nothing to worry about. We were told our home was literally the largest project they had done so they'd be regularly visiting. NO ONE from the office ever showed up or called to see how things were going. There was MINIMAL communication initiated by the company and we only heard from the project manager after we initiated communication.
All in all, if you want to spend the money and wait a while, they'd be happy to help you out! Personally, I was NOT impressed with their communication skills or their timing. read more
