"You need to add more than 5 STARS for reviews. JJ was wonderful to work with. We needed a pocket door replaced with a standard door. He came out gave me a quote and was out the next day to complete the work. JJ is very detailed and did a beautiful job getting my new door installed. I highly recommend him. Thanks JJ!!"
"Jordan and his helper were exceptional. Jordan was polite, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable about the products he was installing. It was a great pleasure working with Jordan. He went out of his way to make sure that we had a pleasurable experience with the installation of five windows in a door. At first we were expecting it to be a nightmare but Jordan made it into a dream. Window Depot is very lucky to have an employee like Jordan representing their company."
"They called me right away, within a day. He was over here giving us a very good, what I thought was a good contract and we’ve dealt with him before so we just went with him but you like to compare who wants what for these windows. I’m sitting in that room right now. It’s got about a 14-ft. ceiling. It goes out from the back. It was a little patio out here that was so hot you couldn’t even put a plant out there. We tried putting a wall across, but nothing worked. He had very efficient people do an excellent job and we have a, really a beautiful room out here it’s like a third room, except we have my husband’s television cave. It’s a 14x18 and its got exercise equipment in it so we’re very satisfied. He’s a very nice guy to deal with. He’s got a very good personality and he knows how to sell his ideas. First of all, we went to one of those home things where they have all those home builders and things and we contacted with a builder to do it and when Mr. Build called, I can’t even remember how he knew, I told him I had already contracted with somebody and he well let me come over and give you a bid anyhow and it turned out that his bid was a lot lower and he thought of things that these other guys didn’t. Like bringing the floor, in other words the sliding glass doors when you walked out you had to step down, he said you’ll get flooded out if you don’t bring the floor up to grade. We never put a room on a house before so we never thought of that. He did and his price was good and people came when they were supposed to, they did the work fairly quickly, no problems. It was a good experience and it’s a beautiful room. The man who just measured for the windows for our entire house a square it hasn’t sunk at all in our new room, so that was proof that it hasn’t sunk at all. He has a very good reputation. I checked him out with the Better Business Bureau and the first company that we had signed with did not come out good, they had a lot of complaints and Mr. Build didn’t have any, and he’s been in business like 20 or 30 years. I think the cost was alright. You know I’m not an expert on what things cost. There was quite a bit of work done because we had a slider on one wall that we closed up and we had a window that was taken out because it would be looking one room into another. Once you put a room in, you know, if there’s windows along one of the walls that looks into the rooms, they had to put the stucco on the outside. I think $40,000 was pretty good. We had a hurricane door and hurricane windows put inside 5 windows. We don’t do things cheap because if you’re going to do it, do it right. His men did show up on time, unfortunately, at 8 o’clock in the morning. I would hope they would be a little late every once in a while, but it did not work out that way. I might be using him again. I have a small bathroom that kind of looks tacky because the house is about 25 years old and I might have him redo that bathroom and make it a little jewel of a bathroom, modernize it. Even though I’m 87 and I shouldn’t be doing things like that to a house. I like it, I don’t travel, I don’t do any stuff that most people do. I just like my house. That’s my fun thing to do too, do stuff to the house."
"I had a really great experience with Golden Coast Garage Doors. They showed up on time, figured out the problem quickly, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. The technician was friendly and didn’t try to upsell me anything I didn’t need. The repair was done fast, the price was reasonable, and my garage door works better than it had in years. 100% recommend!"
"Very prompt and professional. Eddy was very truthful and knowledgeable. The crew worked efficiently. Great looking upgrade from our original sliding glass door."
"Sean was very respectful of my property and extremely helpful in explaining how the shutters work. He also informed me of safety measures to exit my home in case of an emergency. I would definitely hire him again!!!!! Thank you for your prompt service, Sean!!!"
"Scott and his team at Sarasota home improvements were amazing! Scott communicated with me on a regular basis, when he came to take care of some of my home improvements they were on time, they cleaned up after themselves, and did an amazing job on my tile work. I would definitely recommend them, as I am having them come back to do some other things on my to-do list!!!"
