to come out to provide a quote. The estimator apologized for the delay and promised the best, largest and most qualified crew to insure a smooth installation of the Anderson product. This is the reason we chose them despite the delay. We were told we would receive a call two weeks prior to the estimated date (Mid June) to confirm the actual start date. We never received a call so, the week before June 16th we contacted C&L to get an update. We were told they had not been informed or had information from Andersen of when our windows would ship or be ready for installation. It took us two follow-up phone calls to finally get official project start date. The scheduled date was Monday, June 30th, the week of the 4th of July. At that time we expressed our concern about the project completion with respect to the Holiday and suggested that the project be postponed until after the weekend, this way the job would not be rushed to completion because of the holiday. We were told specifically that there would be "no issue completing the job within that time frame" and "the project should take no longer than three working days". With concern we prepared and made arrangements. We boarded our dog for the week and each of us arranged for either a flexible work schedules or vacation days to insure the crew had full access to our home. The morning of Monday, June 30th at approximately 8:00 am, we received a phone call from C&L explaining that the crew scheduled to do the installation was delayed on a previous project and would be unable to start until the next morning Tuesday, July 1st 2014, 8:00am. Again we expressed our concern about the project completion with regard for the holiday weekend. We were informed that the project would be completed in two working days and that C&L Ward was going to send the "largest" and "best" crew to complete the job on time by the end of the day, Wednesday, July 2nd. The result of the delay caused us to use vacation days and an additional day to board our dog. Also delayed our travel for the holiday weekend. This was just the beginning of the lack of respect for our personal time and what that costs us. When the crew arrived on July 1st, it was only two men. We questioned them as to where the rest of the crew was, as we were told they were sending the "biggest" crew to complete the job and they told us it was just a two man crew and only a two man crew (this was confirmed later with VP Eric Ward that 2 man crews are the C&L standard crew). We asked if they were going to have the job completed by the end of the day Wednesday, July 3rd. At that point they informed us that it was going to take a minimum of three full days to complete the job. We informed them that C&L's project coordinator informed us that they will have the job completed by the end of the day Wednesday. In the end they worked three full days to complete the work they did, which they considered 100% complete and complying to the C&L Wards methods and best practices. This included installing windows with cracked pains of glass (glass was cracked during delivery). After they wrapped up the job, the issues immediately began to manifest themselves. We began to notice the aluminum trim was beginning to pull away from the house, trim corners began to separate and general appearance of trim looking poor both inside and out of the house. This lead the discovery of larger issues. Inside the house 2/3rds of the windows around the trim had scuffing and denting of the drywall. A hard rain caused an upstairs window to leak. The downstairs French Doors leaked along the floor sill. We had the salesman come out to review some of these issues and he made an attempt to remedy some of them and he determined the service tech needed to come out and begin to repair some of the known issues. During these service calls other issues were discovered. Some issues couldn't be repaired with the supplies he had with him at that time. Finally we spoke to the installation manager and had him come out to inspect the window installation and a determination was made that the a vast majority of the windows had too many finish problems and other suspect items, we agreed that all the outside trim needed to be removed to determine if the windows had been installed correctly. He scheduled another crew to come out to handle the removal of aluminum trim, inspection of the window installation and re-install all of the aluminum trim. By this time it was mid to late October, we were still doing our best to be patient and understanding. The only available time that worked for the second crews schedule and ours were Saturday's. The first Saturday (a rainy Saturday) the crew started by inspecting the basement French doors and after discussion about the water leaking in the center of the door and outer edges of the sill, we agreed the door should be removed and be reinstalled. During the removal and installation to correct the sill leak, they found and corrected and existing issue on the sides of the door that was allowing additional water to make the issue worse. We believe that had original crew had adequate time to do the installation properly, they likely would have the time to find and correct a current issue and install the door properly. On the second Saturday, the crew began the removal and replacement of the trim on the south and west windows of our house. On the first three windows it was discovered that none of the aluminum had the box/block corner reinforcements. The upstairs window had no Fortiflash tape at all, two other windows had no Fortiflash tape along one or more sides. The missing or improperly installed tape issue existed on the majority of the windows. Every window was trimmed improperly, was missing the corner reinforcement and had to have the aluminum trim replaced. The second crew made minimum of four trips to our house to complete the work. The service tech made three service calls to fix trim issues like unfilled or unpainted nails heads, caulking issues, missing caulk, window adjustments and replacement of the cracked glass. By the time it was over I had lost actually count of the amount of times someone had to come out to our home to address issues. There has been a minimum of ten visits by C&L personnel beyond the original install to address issues and even today we are not 100% satisfied with the the job as their guarantee promises. We are still dealing with issues. We have now filed a formal complaint with Anderson Window and they have pledged to support our window issues from here on out. Finally, we had the Vice President of C&L Ward, Eric Ward out to our house to discuss all the issues with our botched project and he claims that C&L does not run from any issues. However, he had his service tech come back out to review the re-install of the replacement glass for the cracked windows and the claim"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/davison/c-and-l-ward-brothers-co-reviews-470100.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Paul C Scott Plumbing","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Tamra A."},"reviewBody":"The entire process was ideal.

Ended up with a major repair of sewer line. They completed the job in 1 day and left everything very neat for having to dig up the yard. The service was quick especially during the holiday season.

I called on a Saturday afternoon of a holiday weekend ( 12/30/2017) and they were able to diagnose and fix my clothes dryer that afternoon. I was very happy with their responsiveness. Other appliance repair companies couldn't come out until Tuesday as it was the New Year's weekend.

They were referred to us by Orkin Pest Control because what we had was a raccoon. Even though Orkin is a pest control, it doesn't deal with wildlife so they referred me to their sister company which is also a subsidiary of theirs and that was Critter Control. Because of the holiday weekend,...

We have black gutters and they put a white strap on it. They even asked my husband before they came out, what color of gutter do we have and he said, "Black." I came home and the strap was white. So, I called the repair person who left his card. He said he didn't know the area and he didn't...
