"They came and inspected the foundation for problems in and outside the house ,saw no problems and suggested that I try gutters to get water away from the house. They were nice and answered my questions and concerns."

"As far as I know the work is good. I haven t been under the house to look yet. I m waiting for it to dry out and warm up. But I can tell from the inside of the house that my floor is more solid and I have less cold air entering my home from the insulating they did. Workers were nice and courteous. I do feel like if I have a problem that they will address it honorably."

"My elderly mother's house has many cracks in the walls, and the front door at times is very difficult to close and lock. She even got locked out of the house once because the key wouldn't turn in the door, which has been raised and lowered repeatedly. That scared her and she sought an estimate of how much it would cost and what would be involved in getting the house leveled again(It had been done in 1987, too). Her contractor arranged for the man from Olshan to come out, which he did.
After carefully looking at the cracks and asking questions about the house's construction, he used an electronic device to compare the changes in the levels of the various parts of the house. He found as much as 9 inches difference from the front to the back of the house. He said that a newly constucted 30ft wall should have no more than 3/4and quot; change from one end to the other.
We sat down to talk about the situation and he told us the house and the whole neighborhood were built on an area of expanding clay (we already knew this) and that although the 1987 work done by another company was pretty good for the technology available then, unless the concrete pillars they installed had reached down to solid rock(and this clay is as much as 14 ft deep in some areas), the cracks would return and continue, which they have.
Now here is where his honesty and integrity really kick in---he said that because there was no way to guarantee the work (Olshan does a lifetime guarantee), they would NOT do a foundation and quot;Repairand quot; on the house. He talked about the seasonal nature of the clay's expanding and contracting, and told us if they were to do the work, the presence of the concrete pillars from the previous work would make it even harder to put in their piers (they would have to drill through the old ones--very expensive!). He said we could spent a lot of money and have cracks again within six months. So this young man apologized and declined to do the job! WOW! Honesty and integrity! We were impressed and thanked him."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"Appliance Care Specialist were great! The best service provider you have ever sent to my house by far."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"The first time that we were scheduled for our roof repair was on a Friday and nobody showed up or even called us to reschedule.  I emailed on Sunday asking for another date for our roof repair.  The owner called me on Monday and apologized for his crew not making it out to our house.  I asked him to work us in sometime before Thursday due to heavy thunderstorms that were forecast for that day and we had missing shingles.  He promised he would get it done before then.  Two guys finally showed up at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday morning and hurriedly did the repairs under dark overcast skies with thunder rumbling in the distance....pretty scary.  They finished just as rain started falling.  The owner called me right after they finished and told me he would come out in the next week or so to do an inspection of the repairs and finish up anything that was needed.  I was glad to hear that because they were supposed to blow out any debris that might have gotten in the gutters and I very much doubted that they had had time to do that. Also it looked to me like a couple of shingles on the ridge of the roof were bumped up and I was curious why the shingles were so much lighter colored than what was already on the roof....wasn't there a closer match than that?   I never heard another word from the owner about doing the inspection so I called him on 10/17/14 and left a message asking when he might be going to do that inspection.  When he called me back he asked if my roof was leaking.  I said it wasn't but I would still like to have him inspect it as he had assured me he would.  He asked if he could email me after the weekend to see what their schedule was going to be for the coming week and I said that would be fine.  Well, surprise, surprise, it's over a week later and I've never heard another word.  I feel that if you say you're going to do something, then do it.  Don't make your customer hound you to get it done.
