Many things went wrong after we signed the contract. 1) We asked for a full construction window and was given replacement door. 2) There was a rotten board that needed to be replaced instead they had just covered it up. It was very difficult to get the installers to remove the board and replace it as they did not speak much English. They were very irritated that we asked to replace the rotten board and did not want to. If I had not been home they would have left the rotten board. 3) The interior casing was not stained prior to installing and they damaged it while nailing it up. They left it for me to fix. 4) The exterior casing was to match our current but they used white. When we asked them to fix it again they were irritated. We were told read the contract that it said white yet the contract said white - match. They did fix it but again if I had not been home they were going to cover up the casing rather than removing what they had installed making it much larger than the other windows. If you choose to use them make sure you have every detail in the contract and that you are home when they are installing. I will never use them.

They agreed to install one product but gave us another. The contractors did not speak much English so my husband had to tell them what needed to be done. They tried to cover up a rotten board rather than replace it. He made them take out what they installled to replace he board.

I called Promar to inquire about some roofing work on the top of our building's stairwell. Rather than taking the time to understand my request, Promar insisted that I needed to have the entire roof replaced. This is despite me telling them I worked with another roofing company and just had an annual checkup completed, as well as the fact that the roof is not showing the kind of cracking and wear that Promar insisted it must be. This phone call ended with the individual at Promar hanging up on me. Promar was clearly looking for a cash grab, rather than trying to understand their prospective client's needs. This is the most unprofessional behavior I've experienced in looking for roofing and exterior work. As a follow up, we had a quality company come out, listen to our needs, and do an excellent job. When I described Promar's behavior, they were surprised. They confirmed what our other roofing company had said; that our roof was fine. Further confirmation of Promar looking to take advantage of someone.

The final product was excellent. The Promar team installing the siding (Jake and team) performed quality work, walked us through every step of the install process, and were very receptive to questions and minor adjustments requested to provide us with the finished product we desired. Our sales representative, Rick, kept open communication, was reasonable with requested changes, and was transparent throughout the process. Their estimate was at or below similar estimates we received in the area. Would use Promar again and recommend to others.

Promar Exteriors replaced the siding on my home and garage. They also replaced my gutters and installed new windows on the front of my home. I was very impressed that they installed new windows and we couldn't even tell there had been any construction done. The finished project looked great, and they were able to complete all the windows in 1 day. When we had a small mechanical problem with the window, they came the very next day to replace the same. I would highly recommend Promar Exteriors if you're looking for new windows.

We couldn't be more delighted with the price, quality, fit and finish of our new Simonton Reflections windows. I can't say enough about the installer; as he was excellent and very detail oriented. We are tough customers to please and every inch of the installation was above and beyond perfection. We had a bump out window installed in our kitchen and discussed the outcome in depth. When it was completed we were more than just thrilled. Every day when I wake up in the morning and come into my kitchen I thank the folks at Promar. Guests that come into our home describe our kitchen window as a work of art or a painting....it just frames our view in such a lovely way.

INSTALLERS WERE EXCELLENT. DID FINE WORK AND LEFT NO SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN THERE. FOREMAN (JERSEY sp) AND INSTALLERS ARE THE BASIS FOR THE HIGHER RATING THAT I AM LEAVING. Needed rush job, got promises from the salesman, but installation was 7-10 days later than promised, which was enough to put the rest on the projects on hold and delay moving in. I contracted with Promar based on the promised delivery schedule. A local outfit was a little lower in price, but I needed the promised delivery/installation. It turned out that I could have gone with the local guys after all, considering the actual, delayed delivery/installation. Jersey remeasured for the windows at the 11th hour, and saved the day since the wrong sizes were being sent to the distributor on the deadline (that evening) to get the promised delivery. I had serious issues about the aesthetic quality of the windows. They were messy with silicone, and had vinyl scrap adhered to the surfaces. In addition, the stops were all popping out every time I moved a sash. They were also being chipped by the lower sash movements. I was convinced that I had "seconds". The salesman did not get back to me after I called him and virtually disappeared and never returned my calls. I handled things on my end with Simonton and got replacement stops and learned how great the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser WORKS on vinyl windows. Solvents are a no-no. (The distributor did contact me and came by, but he was offensive and I carried on without him. They were communicating, they protest, but without my knowledge because they didn't include me - she who is waiting for action.) Bottom line is, the installers really know their stuff. Salesman, not so much. Rely on the crew and foreman for the work. Getting the foreman's contact information might be better for any resolution needed after the fact. The salesman thinks his work is done - he got the order! And then he is gone and you are forgotten. If I could contract with just the crew .... I would do so.

They were very responsive with my quote. I had an existing relationship with a vendor that was already doing work on the house and he quoted it very competitively. So it was mostly due to convenience that I didn't go with them. Their quote was reasonable though. I would surely use them again for another quote in the future.

Again, we went with another provider, but I would not hesitate to recommend Promar to other folks. Rick seems to really know what he's doing.
Description of Work: Rick was prompt in calling me back, and thoroughly explained all of the steps involved in replacing a garage roof. For Promar, this is a half-day job. They seem to use excellent products, and were good with follow-up. I wound up going with another provider, because neither IKO nor GAF Timberline really had a product that matched my existing house roof (the garage is detached) and their estimate was a fair amount over the three other bids (it was essentially tied with one other). The difference was about $450, although I am satisfied that Promar would have done a nice job on the roof.

Pleased with the results and the speedy service.
Description of Work: A tree branch broke through our roof during a big storm. Promar was the first company I could locate that handled emergency work. They showed up promptly and put a temporary barrier on the roof and then came back shortly thereafter to do the repairs. Gave a B on price and quality only because I have nothing to compare it to. Seemed reasonable to me at the time -- but it was raining in my attic.

Luke showed up to give an estimate for new roof and gutters. He provided brochures and had examples of the products in his truck. The estimate was clear and broken down to show the various options and costs of each. I did not use Promar because I felt the representative from one of the other companies was more knowledgable.

Response from Promar Exteriors
In regards to this review I am a little confused. I think this customer has me confused with another quote he was given. I was given a B on punctuality when I arrived precisely on time to the appointment. I clearly responded to all of his many questions with examples, I went over every facit of the project and was extreemly professional. The reason I think he has me confused with someone else is because I do not drive a truck I drive a sedan. I was very professional in all my responses and spent much longer with the customer than I would have, with most appointments (typically an Hour time) (B) on Responsiveness. For two weeks I tried to contact the customer with no response from him. I did finally get in touch with his wife who told me he had e-mailed all the companies they had out (I did not get an e-mail). I believe that a poorer review is more directive of our price quoted rather than unprofessional, punctuality or responsiveness. I felt very good about this appointment at the time and the customer was very gratefully satisfied at the time with my presentation. I think the customer either confused me with someone else or is intentionally degrading our company because he is in direct competition with us. I am also inclined to say that he might of been in someway our direct competition. It seemed he knew all the right questions to ask that a typical consumer would not even know to ask. I felt as though it may have been a 'set up' appointment to see how our company is doing. One of our competitors has been trying to sabotage us and I believe this gentleman may be in direct contact with one of these companies.

Rick was my salesperson, and was a pleasure to deal with. In the end, most everything turned out as expected. However, there were some mix-ups along the way, and two problems that were never attended to. Unfortunately, I became overly distraught over one mix-up in particular, which caused enough animosity between good-natured Rick and myself so that I now prefer to go through Angie's List than to call him, again, directly. The mix-up that caused me to lose my temper involved a chimney surround, which was not part of the insurance claim, and led to a miscommunication between Rick, the workers, and myself. The workers tried harder than they should have to make the chimney surround fit...by removing a portion of my existing cinderblock chimney. I did not approve of how they decided to do this, but in the end, the problem was corrected to my satisfaction, but there remained a dispute over what Rick thought was fair and over what I thought was fair regarding the cost of correcting the problem. I think no one in particular was to blame, and it was just one of those things. This is NOT one of the issues I am asking Angie's List to help with, although it may explain why the other problems were never fixed. The problems I still have are these: On the house that needed new siding, there was a bottom strip of the old siding missing in the gangway. It came off years ago and was never replaced. When the Promar siding installers came, they assumed that that one bottom strip that was off was that way by design, and so when they installed the new siding, they copied the way the old siding was, leaving that one piece off. Also, when the roofers came, they somehow accidentally cracked off the corner of my bottom cement stair with either their equipment or a shingle bundle, I'm not sure which. I told Rick about this, and he said he would talk to Darius, his partner, about seeing what could be done. I told him there was no hurry, but that was back in June, and I'm quite certain they by now have forgotten all about it. I'm not expecting a dispute from Promar about fixing these two minor issues, as I believe they genuinely forgot, and, not wanting to encounter even the slightest amount of perceived conflict over our past disagreement regarding the chimney mishap, I have not called to remind them. All in all, I was happy with the quality of their work and would recommend them to anyone, and even use them again in the future, myself. The low over-all grade is temporary and necessary in order for Angie's List to contact them on my behalf. Once they come back out and correct these two problems, their grade will be restored.
Description of Work: Promar was wonderful in helping me through a messy Allstate hailstorm claim on two houses. One was approved for a new roof, and the other for a new roof and siding. I also had two new attic windows installed, and although I agreed to a new metal chimney surround (I strongly recommend against this, as they are ugly, flimsy, the coloring can be scratched off with a fingernail, and they will eventually rust and streak your roof) it did not fit, and so was canceled in the end.

Response from Promar Exteriors
From Promar-contractor: Tried to settle amount due of $1110 (which included additional labor and material costs incurred-rotted wood etc. and not charging for the metal chimney at all) several times, Even attempting to compromise by offering payment of 1/2 that amount and we would do what we could regarding the chipped concrete that our installers insisted was something they did not do and vinyl siding and aluminum materials would not cause that type of damage (we used no machinery for the siding job). Regarding the ''missing'' siding our siding installers could not install per standards. Customer flatly refused to pay any more $ and we did our very best to make this right. We are willing to still take care of this based on our last offer and she can call us to discuss or I (Rick) will be happy to call her after the New Year. Thank You.

The siding and skylights looks great and the staff work for Promar are professional and polite. Their price is quite reasonable and the work quality is excellent. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I would recommend them for any exterior jobs around the house.

The new windows look great and frame color(tan) is well-matched with our exterior siding. They gave me a free estimation. The quote process was quick and the price was reasonable. They ordered windows and installed only in 10 days. The installation crew(2 people) did a great job. They were professional and cleaned up after themselves. They showed up early in the morning and finished right on time. I am very happy with new windows and highly recommend them.

I couldn't be happier with Pro Mar Exteriors. After hearing and seeing all of the contractor nightmares out there, I tried to choose as carefully as possible. We just had all new windows, siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, and downspouts installed. To begin with, their quotes were definitely the most reasonable, and for good materials. They were responsive from beginning to end and available via phone and email. Any time I had a question or concern, it was immediately answered or addressed. The installers were some of the hardest working people and really took their time to do it right. The house turned out beautifully and so far we are beyond happy with the quality of workmanship and the aesthetics. I strongly recommend them.
