My husband & I decided to use Jack Duncan to install an Alumawood patio cover. Initially, we went…read morewith him because we saw his website & after meeting him we liked his design idea & the fact that he boasted about being in business for 30 years with tons of experience & happy customers. (We weren't able to find any reviews about him at the time, so I'm hoping this will be helpful to someone). I would NOT recommend him or use him ever again! He was very unprofessional, hard to communicate with, pushy & more focused on himself than us as the customer. He pressured us to sign the completion paperwork 3 days before the job was even done! And kept telling us how much money he had out in materials & how long it would take for him to get paid, (our job was financed though the HERO program). He even argued & tried to make us feel bad for not signing. Also, during construction, his builder left a huge 8 inch gap between the pieces that were supposed to overlap to create a covered patio. When we saw this & realized they intended to leave it that way we were very upset & they just continued working saying they built it the way it was designed. Jack eventually said they would fix it but we really had to push him to make it right. Also, the job took longer than he said & then took even longer because they ordered the wrong piece & had to wait for the correct one. And, once the job was completed, they left all the electrical coverings off for the electrical inspection & said they would come back on the same day the electrical inspection was done to button everything back up. But they never came until 2 weeks after the inspection! They also put the rain gutter in the dead center if our patio & instead of the water draining onto the grass, it dumps out onto our concrete & pools up creating a huge mess. Also, Jack said he would provide the Alumawood patio hooks for us & then never did. We contacted him about it for over one month & never got them. Jack Duncan is a liar. We are happy to have a completed patio cover for the summer, but wish we would have used someone more professional & honest who wouldn't have been so stressful to deal with. Beware!

Well, after reading all the other reviews, I guess I'm not the only one whom he swindled. I gave…read morehim a deposit of $2400 (50%) for job on April 30th, 2016 for 2 patio covers... well today is Sept 25th... still no patio coverings. His lack of communication is staggering. On the day (in July) he was supposed to show up (his third chance), I swung by his office on Chester and there was a guy "cleaning it out". I threatened to turn him in to the BBB and Contract Lic. Board, then he text back. Stories of illness, death in the family, workers quiting only go so far. If it's that bad, retire. But, there are stories here of him taking even more money from people even after all this... Please beware, If you are reading this, you have already read many more to get here... Don't do it, Stop. Yoiu will not get what you want, you will get nothing but headache. He actually just text me with another "next week" excuse...

I normally get pretty annoyed with telemarketers, but I happened to be in the market to begin renovations on my home, so I heard them all out and made appointments with all three for estimates. Company #1: Elite from Long Beach, Ca area was patronizing and disrespectfully tried to trick me into a crazy inflated quote, Company #2 flaked on their appointment and had to reschedule, and Northwest was #3. The salesman was respectful of me and let me guide the conversation with questions as opposed to forcing me to listen to a spiel. He worked out the prices of the 13 windows with upgrades including a pet door in my slider and this beautiful etched glass. His price was half of the 1st company, and he was also half as pushy. When Company #1 came back out to tried to convince me to go with them, the price was still way too high and he tried to bully me into a decision. When I refused to be bullied, he left, and I called my Northwest Rep back out and signed the contract. The installers were hardworking and respectful of my crazy house. They did a great job of installing the windows, though they did leave a few scraps of stuff behind, not a huge deal. My new Anlin windows are absolutely beautiful. I seriously walk by and stop to stare at them so often. There was a tiny scratch in one of them, and Northwest got in touch with Anlin and got us connected right away to have it corrected. I would definately advise people to use this company.

I don't know what has happened to this company in the last two years but it appears customer…read moreservice is now non existent. We have purchased a lot of windows and doors from Northwest Exteriors in the last 15 years for two separate residences without incident. It was the reason we kept coming back. Michelle always kept us apprised of timelines, delays, etc. She must no longer work for Northwest because they don't call and when you call them you're still without answers. We purchased a bifold door that took much longer than anticipated to ship and then be installed. After install, we were told we couldn't use the door because the wrong panel shipped and there is no door handle. That was a month ago. No one has answers, no return calls, nothing. I guess we just wait another 4 months until the correct panel arrives. Was going to order a 2nd bifold and a patio cover but will look elsewhere. It's too bad Northwest Exteriors!

This makes dusting so so easy and they are very clean, because there are less working parts. So while the prices were similar, the value of this product exceeds others.
