I did decide to move forward with the service. Lead time was relatively short for an install appointment. In a little less than a week their installer Joe came over to put up the film. Punctual, professional, and overall a nice guy. Asked me to review his work before leaving, to make certain I was happy with the install... I was. Mentioned that if I did see anything after he left, to just give them a call and he'd be right back out. Overall, great experience and a truly family owned company (Joe Sr is owner, Joe Jr and Angela are his children).

As can happen in life there was some miscommunication, specifically regarding the gutters, but Montell Construction was great at working through that with us which speaks highly of them, I think. Our only criticism would be about cleanliness. The rooms that had access to the attic had a solid film of insulation over everything after that was installed and took some time to clean. We ended up cleaning a lot of roof debris that fell through a vent in our kitchen multiple time even after we made the crew aware of what was happening. We also spent an evening cleaning up our yard of roof debris about a week after the project. Granted most of it was smaller stuff but it was still somewhat disappointing. So criticism aside, every person I interacted with was very friendly and professional. They were extremely accommodating to our schedules when it came to meetings and were always available for communication. Pricing seemed very fair for the amount of things we had done. We are pleased with quality of the product used for the roof, research suggested it was good stuff. The house and garage look very nice. I would recommended them and would use them again.

I can not say enough good things about Scott and his team. Finding this company made paying for Angie's List subscription worth it 100 times over. I started by getting 4 quotes from 4 different companies to replace our old 1970's windows and doors. Scott came in with the lowest bid, normally I would be hesitant to take the absolute lowest bid because of the old saying \"you get what you pay for\" but Scott was very thorough in his description of what they would be doing, what the work included, etc.
We purchased our house a few years ago and I knew some of the previous work that had been done prior to our owning the house had not been permitted. When Scott asked if I knew if our hurricane shutters had been permitted, I was not sure and said I would look to see if I could find the permit. Scott took the initiative to go to the city the very next day and was able to find the permit (no easy task in SW Ranches). This saved us from having to upgrade all the way to impact windows and stay with the double paned energy efficient windows we wanted. He was able to meet our quick deadline for getting the windows installed, he got the permit lined up and I didn't have to do a single thing! It was by far the easiest contracting experience I have ever had.
His crew showed up on time on the scheduled day, they were EXTREMELY courteous, covered all of the furniture so it wouldn't get dust on it. I was so impressed with how quick they were and the work was beautifully done. Some of the other contractors we had received quotes from said that we should expect some damage to the sills around windows when they replaced the windows. Scott's team replaced every single window and door without a chip to any of the sills or our travertine floor. This alone saved us a ton of time and money. It gets even better...I know it sounds like I am getting paid to write this review, I'm not...after all of the work was done and the city inspector had signed off, Scott had a professional window cleaning company come out and clean all of the windows inside and out. He was even able to get it scheduled on short notice so I wouldn't have to do it myself before my baby shower that weekend. I will definitely use Scott's company when we do future renovations and I have already been referring him to all of our friends and neighbors.

Honestly, if it weren't for the price I doubt if I would ever have used this type of service. Let me start with Javier. He is a very patient man and absolutely is the best at organizing. I needed help organizing my garage, office and pantry. I didn't think all of that could be done in only 3 hours. However, Javier did all of it and I am absolutely amazed that now I know what is in my pantry so I can stop buying stuff that I already have. I can now park my car inside my garage! After I complete my "homework" i will be able to find every piece of important paper in my office! In my garage Javier grouped "like" items together; all of my cleaning supplies are together, all of my gardening stuff is together, etc. But most of all, his reorganization resulted in space to park my car. This is critical for me as Florida heads into hurricane season. I talked to Javier before my appointment and he told me he would make use of the boxes and storage bins I had on hand. He said that he didn't need or expect me to buy anything. However, if you plan to use this service I strongly suggest that you invest in some inexpensive bins, baskets, containers, etc. Storage containers, for me, solved the problem of where to put stuff. Now everything has a place and I am less likely to just put it "somewhere" which is how I became disorganized in the first place. Also, make sure you have some idea of what you want and how you want it. This is not a sit back and relax type of company. Everything is tailored to your needs so you have to be involved. I am happy--no make that very happy--and should I fall back into my old ways I know that they will come get me back on the right path. Finally, the cleaning portion was great. My home smelled as clean as it looked! They used steam to clean my tile floors and my shower stalls sparkles. I wish I could afford to have them come regularly and do the same type of intensive cleaning!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/fl/miami/anthony-k-reviews-5031529.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Toms SheetRock","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Aaron R."},"reviewBody":"It took a little longer to do the job.

I asked them the next day to not smoke in the house. They obliged, but proceeded to use my backyard as their ashtray. Their were cigarette butts littered all over the yard. Another issue I had with them was with the foul language. I haven't heard that much swearing since I watched Eddie Murphy's \"Delirious.\" The overall work was decent. However, their ability to clean up after themselves was pathetic. They left my deck and kitchen floor with a nasty white film. As far as cleaning up upstairs, I provided a shop vac and it was rarely used. There's still drywall dust all over my wood stairs. As it sits, I would shop around in hopes to find a more professional company. However, if I had to, I'd use them again in a pinch.

Quoted quickly. Work was delayed due to business with cleaning up fallen trees in other properties following the hurricane. No problem for us, we could wait. Came on time and were done so quickly that one tree was gone before we could find the camera!

"I was on the market for a security system and this one seemed easy enough to install.......went through the process and some of the window sensors were not working. I called Customer Support who was very friendly and we went through the entire process again...this time other window sensors did not work. This went on for a week or so...then the door senors stopped working....than the motion sensor stopped working...at no time in over a month did I have a fully operational security system. As I was about to return the system I was told they have "new" sensors and they just realized they received a bad batch and are working with another company.....Gave it a try....and same issue returned....some sensors worked....some didn't. I finally returned the system and stopped getting emails.....only to find that they were still billing my credit card even after I returned the equipment. Very nice people and very understanding.....unfortunately their product is not up to par. While we do have a large home, it's an open concept and the sensors that weren't working were no more than 15ft away from the base. The previous owners of my house had a wireless system with no issues at all.....I'm going to be using that company going forward."

FAQs for hurricane film service projects in Kentwood, MI
The average cost for window security film is around $7 per square foot or $42 per window. However, your total could range from $3 to $15 per square foot or $18 to $90 per window. The cost depends on the square footage of your window, the thickness and quality of the security film, the number of windows, and the type of windows.
Hurricane window film costs about $350 for a 75-foot roll, which can cover about 10 average-sized windows. This film can help prevent window shattering during extremely high winds, but it’s not impact-resistant like storm windows.
Your homeowners insurance provider may decrease your premium if you improve the security of your home with window security film. You can contact your insurer to determine whether there will be a change in cost after applying this addition. If there is a decrease in your homeowners insurance premium or deductible, it will likely only be available if your window film is installed by a professional window film installer.
Window security film won’t prevent break-ins or stop your window from shattering from impact during extreme weather like hurricanes or tornadoes. However, applying security film is relatively inexpensive, and it can make breaking into your home significantly harder—often hard enough to deter burglars entirely—and keep your window from shattering on your floor after impact. For these reasons, window security film is often a worthwhile investment that helps protect your property.
Window security film has a few key benefits that make it an enticing home improvement:
It’s much more affordable than shatterproof windows or hurricane windows.
It improves your home’s energy efficiency and can save money on heating and cooling bills.
It makes it harder to break into your home.
It helps prevent dangerous shattered glass after an impact.
You can tint it to provide additional protection from the sunlight.
Applying window security film yourself is possible, but we don’t recommend it. This task is simple in theory, but getting the product to sit on your windows evenly and without bubbles underneath is challenging for DIYers who lack the necessary experience and tools. You might save money on labor by applying it yourself, but you might also end up with a film that doesn’t look appealing, prompting you to start over and spend the money on a professional installation anyway. Plus, most window film manufacturers will void your warranty if you install the product yourself.
