Let me start with the one thing that I most want to share with potential customers of American Remodeling: GET OTHER QUOTES _BEFORE_ MEETING WITH THE AMERICAN REMODELING SALESPERSON. The salesperson told me that he often offers special pricing but it must be accepted that day, and he says they never honor these special quotes after the day it was offered. I realize this is a ploy frequently used by shady salespeople to quickly close the deal, but for various reasons (mostly just being horribly impatient and the glowing reviews of the company I had read), I agreed to it. I have a number of other complaints and regrets, which I go into in depth below (feel free to skip), but the windows are very nice and the installation appears to have been very competent. Here are my other complaints, which I discussed with two people from American Remodeling on the phone. I include their plausible explanations, but all in all I was left unsatisfied. 1. I was charged close to $6000 for 7 windows, but in 2 quotes I had done after the fact, both companies could have given me very good (but perhaps not as great) vinyl windows for $4000. The people at American Remodeling said their windows were more efficient and they have a better warrantee, but even with those things in mind I would have gone with one of the other companies had I known their price. 2. The quote was a single amount for all 7 Windows, not broken down by window, as I’ve seen every other replacement windows quote I’ve seen. This makes it much harder to understand the pricing and negotiate with the salesperson. I forgot to mention this specific issue with them on the phone. 3. I was supposedly being offered a fantastic special offer, and in return I would be asked to put a sign of theirs in my front yard for a month. I wasn’t offered a sign, and no mention was made of it till I brought it up, which made me think the whole “special offer” was a fiction, but they said they had simply run out of signs. 4. John, the salesperson, introduced himself as “the General Manager”, when in fact he is the General Manager of Marketing in this region, or something to that affect. I think this is clearly deceptive, but their explanation was that he is _a_ General Manger, so he’s free to use that title. 5. Their windows were clearly advertised as EnergyStar certified, but technically the windows I received are not. This was clearly shown in a map on the NFRC sticker, but these stickers were removed from all of the windows, supposedly because they wanted to wash the windows for me. The removed stickers were supposed to be given to me but were not. They said that the installer must have forgotten to give them to me. I got scans of the stickers from the windows manufacturer. The windows’ energy efficiency number were actually quite excellent. Maybe they removed the stickers to avoid confusion? Still, I’d rather they had explained this to me, which they did when I asked, instead of maybe trying to hide this from me. MAYBE everything they did and said was above board, maybe not, I just don’t know—it’s just that there were so many things, at least seen in hindsight, that were off.
