Dear customer, I see we installed a gutter and gutter protection system for you in 2011. When installing the system we had to replace a small piece of fascia so the gutter protection system can function correctly and have its life time warrantee. If there are any problems please do not hesitate to call and we will be right out to fix the issue. Regards Sales manager

We decided not to use the service.
Description of Work: This was pretty high pressure sales. They were prompt with meetings. The estimate included way more work than necessary with the push that anything less would not be satisfactory or appropriate. It took awhile for them to back off when told we were not interested. Always polite, never rude.

See above detail explanation
Description of Work: The company mad an appointment in response to a questionnaire completed at the New England Home Show, sponsored by the Home Builders Association. The representative came to our home at the appointed time, introduced himself, took some measurements and then began a lengthy explanation of his product. He wanted a commitment that day for a 10% discount. He was not happy when I told him that we do not do business under pressure to get a discount. He packed up and left. After the representative's visit we selected another vendor. For Yankee Home Improvements, no contract was made and no work is scheduled.

Didn't use this company because they failed to show or call the day they were scheduled to give us an estimate to replace our roof shingles. Had an appt on 4/10/13 at 6:00pm, 6:40pm with a no show and a non-call to indicate why they were late I called the company. They were not aware as to why the person didn't show and had to call him. I then started to get excusses about what happened, but seemed to be a lack of communication on the office with the salesman and also a lack of respect for the potention customer to call them and let them know. The salesman and office indicated he didn't receive an email telling him of the appointment until late in the day....the day of the apointment. This company is used by BJ's warehouse home construction for the northeast area. Upon receiving info that we would like a qoute on our roof from one of their companies they use, this company called over two seperate days a total of 5 times with out leaving a message. Upon seeing there number on caller ID, I had to call them to arrange an appointment with them. Then the day before the appointment, they called 3 times without leaving a message and called later in the evening to confirm the appointment. Don't know what their pricing is or how good or bad their work is, but with the way they treat potential customers I can only imagine.

Response from Yankee Home Improvement Inc
Hi [member name removed], You are correct we did fail to make an appointment and I can understand your aggravation. As the owner it frustrates me even more when I hear about situations like this. I can relate on a personal level as I was ripped off by a roofing contractor many years ago for $2,500. If there was an Angies list back then I too would have gone on and vented. Just so you know at Yankee I created a company were homeowners would feel a sense of ease in hiring and doing business. Obviously we dropped the ball here and I apologize. However, we did win the BBB Torch award last year and the Angies List Super Service award for how we conduct ourselves in the marketplace. We subscribe to the contractor for life philosophy and last year 44% of our work was from repeat and referrals. More times than not our crews show up with flowers to start the job. Upon completion every customers receives some home made cookies and a follow up phone call. We also have contracted an independent third party called Guild Quality to review EVERY job and post the results online. I came to this country in the eighties with next to nothing and not a day goes by that I am not grateful for the opportunities that America has afforded me. Giving back is very important to me. Myself and my 35 team members put out a goal of giving back over $100,000 to the community. To date we have supported Extreme Home Makeover, Habitat for Humanity, Homes for the Troops and many other charities. We are proud of the work we do in the home but more so of what we give back. One of last causes we supported was Safe Passage with a $6k sponsorship of their road race event. What I am trying to get across is that we pride ourselves on doing the right thing. In your case we did not and I and my staff are sorry for that. Ger Ronan

Did not use them too much money
Description of Work: We did not use. They were very expensive, I did not feel the amount that was almost doulble of other estimate warrnted going with them My other estimates were $8,000 less than these people. I don't think a door or window or a roof can cost what they are saying. I someone has the money to go with them then by all means spend your hard earned money on something you can get a better deal on somewhere else. I know someone who put in new doors and they cost $5000 a piece. there is no way a door is worth that. so there you have it. I think they are ripping people off, that is my opinion.

Hi (member name removed), When pricing out a door there are a lot of things to take into account, from the threshold to the opening and the types of hinges and so forth. All of which add dollars to the project being that they are upgrades to a typical standard door. Sometimes adding several features can make the door out of budget. There are other options when it comes to doors, roofing, windows, gutters and siding. If you are willing to give us another chance to show you some other options we might be able to find something that fits your budget and quality that you are expecting for your home. We hope to have that opportunity to see you again, Adam

They were very responsive and they did a quick job. They also did a very good clean up. They were expensive, but they did a good job. It was a very nice crew. The salesman had an i-pad here to show us their work they had done elsewhere. They followed up every now and then to keep in touch. I might use them again and try to bargain the price down.

Hi [member name removed], Isn't it nice bring an ipad in and showing you 20-30 previous jobs without having to drive all over New England?!? With roofing it is very difficult to do a clean up correctly, with our tarp system making sure the debris goes where it is supposed to and not in the shrubs or anywhere a little foot could be injured by it (pet or kid) that is something we pride ourselves in. Looking forward to seeing you on your next project! Hope you enjoyed the cookies, Adam

It went very well. The foreman was fantastic and the drew worked without stopping. They removed the old windows, prepped the openings, installed the new windows and caulked each window. They put down drop cloths so dust wouldn't spread, they kept their work areas clean and orderly, and they left zero mess behind them, taking the old windows to dispose of for me. They were excellent, good humored, and thoughtful in their word. They will return in a short while to remove, and to replace, the large bay window in the family room and the mullioned picture window in the living room. I was very pleased with their initial visits to measure and to show me options, and their follow-up has been fantastic.
Description of Work: I inherited a home with windows that were fifty years old and which included aluminum storm and screen windows. They were so dilapidated that if one was opened, it had to be held up with a stick. The crew arrived on time, worked diligently to replace ten of the windows, and completed the task in one day. They were clean, efficient, knowledgeable, and courteous, always conscious of not making a mess inside the house.

They are very professional and they have good quality windows. They stand behind their windows with a 100 % guarantee, even if you sell the house. They do work with you to get you the best price. They do take money off if you are looking for a lower price. They are willing to price negotiate with you.

HI [member name removed], we were thrilled that you were able to begin enjoying your windows as of 1/26 when we finished the job, 9 windows installed in one day. Glad to hear that the guarantee is important to you because it is important to us to stand behind the products that we carry for the Yankee Home Family. After following up with you after the project we were happy to hear that you said "loves them! And the crew was more than you expected during a construction project at your home.", isn't it nice to see that guys do clean up after themselves:) Adam

Everyone at every step of the project came on time and on schedule as relatively planned except mother nature made us wait a few days. All correspondences where handled quickly and professionally. This includes the sub-contractors for the chimney. I would certainly hire them again.
Description of Work: They sub-contracted out the removal of the old chimney down to the roof line and had it completely rebuilt. By a licensed and insured masonry company. This chimney desperately needed to be replaced because of a substantial lean to it. This was something that I requested to have done. They also added 1/2" exterior grade plywood to the entire roof since this house is almost 110 years old. The entire roof was then wrapped completely with the storm and ice sheathing. They also added a bathroom vent, roof line vents and of course the architectural shingles. I did opted for the best guarantee plan they offered. They did do everything they pledged to do.

Dave the sales guy came out for an estimate I was a little reluctant, I had 4 other companies come out to give me a quote on the the window and the estimates were all over the border and the quality of the windows from the other companies just weren't making me feel secure about prices. Dave the salesman came in and even though I was only looking to replace one window, he said let's walk around the house just so I can show you the difference between the windows I'm selling and your others, he was able to intelligently show me the way the other windows were installed and things that needed to be changed long term. He wasn't pushy and was able to say these windows don't need to be replaced but here is the difference in quality of what I'm selling you vs what you have in now. He brought a sample window with him with a heat lamp so I could see the difference. He was able to show me the things that would needed to be done to the window as they were removing it. The other companies did not even include in their estimates the border of the window once it was removed, insulation to the window or the replacement warranties. Dave was able to sell me a window with a life time warranttee that could even be turned over to one additional owner should I sell my house. Dave was able to show me the difference in the price of different windows with samples he could sell me the why I would want each of them and why I would not. Everything was put in writing and explained to me with no high pressure of buy this today feeling he told me to take some time and think about it and when I was ready call him. Once I signed the contract, they sent the instillation team to come over to do a final measurement on the window to make sure the measurements were correct. When they came they showed up with flowers for me, and a card which was a nice added tough. The three men that showed up to do the instillation were very professional to do the instillation they explained to me everything that they were going to do before it was done and during the process kept me posted. I took photographs of the before and after, everyone driving by the house says what a facelift the house had by just changing this one window out. I would tell you I was reluctant at first because I had never heard of this brand of window and did lots of research on it before signing the contract. When I did the research it ended up being a top rated brand of windows with high reviews from several people. The price was very reasonable compared to other large bow windows I was looking at. I would highly recommend Dave & Dave.

They did an adequate job overall, but they had to return a couple of times to correct issues with the attic insulation. Furthermore, they didn't install a hatchway into the attic as promised. I also learned that with their "financing", the vapor barrier they installed was extremely expensive. I definitely wouldn't go with their financing in the future.

I received 4 quotes are under $1,550 from other vendors. I showed the Yankee rep one quote and told him about the two others (one came after this meeting). Yankee's quote was $3,500 more than the highest priced one. Aside from the HUGE price difference, I have issues with their poor customer service. Twice canceling before the appointment and the final time not showing for a scheduled appointment. I called their office a half hour after the scheduled appt and the woman was surprised he wasn't here. I didn't use them and am very satisfied with the vendor I chose.
