Had to redo the tarp as the measurement was wrong and color didn't match. They nee to have more people out on the premises instead of trying to do it all by phone

We were able to replace our windows with units that met or exceeded performance numbers of major brand windows, at a fraction of the cost. Our house is only 5 years old and the builder used decent grade, double pane windows, but we just wanted the energy efficiency and comfort of better windows. We love our new windows! We no longer feel drafts when close to the windows, no longer have condensation on the inside, and can tilt out both sashes for easy cleaning. But what really surprised us was the how quiet the windows are-many of the outside noises we were accustomed to just disappeared.

About Ameri-craft: In business, and in this area, for over 21 years. Roy was our sales person (turns out he is also an owner). He was on time and professional. He brought brochures and small demonstration window units. He was able to clearly explain and fully answer questions about the window options and the complete installation process. Roy was easy to contact. He answered the phone mostly, but when we got voicemail, he was prompt in returning calls.

The installation went exactly as Roy detailed. The work crew has been with Ameri-craft for over 14 years. Jim and Mike were also professional. They did an excellent installation with attention to detail. The overall fit and finish is excellent. Equally important, they did a great clean up. All materials and debris, except what we ask them to leave so we could recycle, was removed.

Americraft Exteriors did a great job.  My new sliding
glass doors are beautiful, efficient and just what I needed to make my home
beautiful.  It's so rare to find a business that is owner-operated and
really cares enough to explain the details and educate you in the
process.  I have hired him and his team in the past and will continue to
do so in

the future.  Great quality and honest, superior craftsmanship.

We were so please with the work and professionalism of AMERI-CRAFT EXTERIORS INC. They showed up on time and finished before they had estimated. I would us them again and send friends and family their way.

Roy Amatore,and everyone, was very nice, and professional. Gave me a discount, 1/2 price to install front storm door which was not even purchased from them. That was nice of them. Would recommend them to anyone. Very professional. No problems. Highly recommend! All calls answered promptly. High quality material with guarantee. I got three estimates for time and materials, was very satisfied with them and prices. Would definitely rehire! It was a $1,200.00 job. Everyone else want $2,000.00 or more.

Installation was in the middle of winter and the workers did their best to move quickly to reduce the amount of time it took to wrap up the job. They were clean, accommodating, and the salesman was flexible too. I am EXTREMELY happy with the windows. They were FAR less than Pella windows, which is the quality I was looking for, but they turned out to be just as wonderful as that famous brand. I also asked the staff to install extra locks; they worked well. A year later I caused a problem with the windows and the salesperson came out on a Saturday afternoon to help us fix the problem.

It went very well. Their prices were the cheapest out of other estimates we had received.  They were also very nice and polite.

Everything was fine and on-time and done as soon as they could do it.  They were very efficient and quick.  Their prices were more reasonable than others.

I wish I could post pictures. The end result cannot look any more like the original construction, inside and out. The job had no surprises.....really. One pane of glass fell before it was delivered to Steve, so that caused a minor delay (thus the B for Punctuality) for not finishing EXACTLY the day we all forecasted, but we learned about it the moment it happened and it wasn't his fault, so no harm was caused when a new pane came to him a couple days later. We were kept informed along the way and we were never put out by it. The job was done in a matter of days and with the weather the way it has been this year, our only regret was that we didn't call Steve and have this done years ago.

We have used Ameri-Craft Exteriors for all of our windows and doors over the past few years.     Our recent installation finished up the windows for the entire house.     We were waiting to put this one window in due to a possible larger project.     Ameri-Craft Exteriors has been excellent and I referred them to many neighbors who have used them for one broken window to an entire house of windows.     Their workmanship and quality of work is excellent.  They have kept the same installers over the past few years that I have worked with them so you always see the same people and they are very knowledgeable and professional and absolutely know what they are doing.   Definitely would recommend them if you want a great quality product installed correctly the first time.     As much as new windows and doors are not super exciting, we absolutely love our new windows and doors - especially during a winter like this.     No air blowing right through them.    Totally worth every penny!!

Steve is a really personable guy and very focused on customer service.  He was as excited about my project as I was and worked with me every step of the way to make certain that prior to placing the order everything was perfect.  He came to the house when the shipment from Marvin was due to arrive and found a small flaw in one of the windows and immediately arranged to have a new one shipped.  His installers were also top notch.  I came to appreciate that even the most expensive doors and windows -if not installed properly are going to disappoint.  Not a problem here.   These guys were incredible --running up and downs ladders with these heavy windows on their backs without any mishap.  Cleaned up at the end of each day and did an incredible job.  Even came back when Steve decided the color of the caulk should be changed to match the windows (which were black) rather than the home (which was a cream color) The guys redid all the caulking and though I was not sure it was necessary, once it was redone it looked fabulous.  I would recommend Steve and his team at Ameri-Craft to anyone---and have.  Replacing windows and doors is a big expense and can be a headache but with Ameri-Craft it was a pleasure and I could not be happier with the final look (and added warmth) of my home.  
Should also mention that they were great to work with to help assure I qualified fro the maximum energy credits.

It went very smoothly and they were fairly priced.  They were also efficient and professional and came relatively quickly and when they said they would.  We were very satisfied and have passed their name along to others.

I didn't have any problems.  They did what they were supposed to and we were happy with it.  There were no issues with installation or scheduling.

THE GUY WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO MEASURE DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE APPOINTMENT THE FIRST DAY BECAUSE HE WANTED TO GO TO THE CUBS GAME. THE SECOND DAY, HE CAME AT THE WRONG TIME. THE INSTALLERS DID NOT SHOW UP FOR TWO DATES AND THERE WAS NO TELEPHONE CALL TO ME REGARDING THIS. THE GARDEN WINDOW WAS NOT WHAT WE REQUESTED AND THERE WAS NO EFFORT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO DISCOUNTS GIVEN FOR ALL OF OUR TROUBLE; IN FACT, WHILE ARGUING THAT THE WINDOWS WERE NOT WHAT WE ORDERED, WE WERE TOLD LEGAL ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN IF THE BILL WAS NOT PAID. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!
Response from Ameri-Craft Exteriors Inc
"#1) Our measurement person called Member and explained he was given Cubs tickets and wanted to take his son to the game and asked if it was alright to reschedule for the next day BUT if they needed him to come that day it would be no problem. MEMBER said "no problem have a good time" #2) The second day he was 20 minutes early for the appointment. #3)When the windows came out of production we scheduled a date for installation but had to reschedule twice once to rain and once to 40MPH winds and we absolutely called the customer but she could care less about the weather conditions (probably because she doesn't have to work in them) #4) I personally saw this customer and ordered her product - she received exactly what was ordered on her contract. When I tried to contact her after installation to get paid she ignored my phone calls for over 10 days. This customer was trying to get money off her job PERIOD. Why would anyone pay for something that was different than ordered? The reason is she received exactly what was contracted. Steve Frazier owner"

THE CREW ALSO DIDN''T CLEAN UP AS THE JOB SPECS CALLED FOR.
Response from Ameri-Craft Exteriors Inc
"[member name removed] was informed when the job was contracted that there was a possibility that we would use factory trained installers from the manufacturer Alside installation program. We have two (2) siding crews that work directly for Ameri-Craft but due to the backlog of jobs already contracted our crews were scheduled six (6) weeks out. Alside Building products provide the installation service for their dealers precisely for this purpose and have strict guidelines they are supposed to adhere to including contacting, performing and supervising the work while adhering to local building codes. Unfortunately this became a case of "he said she said" as Casey (who works for Alside) has a completely different version of the events and maintains [member name removed] was informed throughout the process but he was upset when the crews wouldn't perform extra work NOT on the work order. This was the last time I used Alsides installation service."
