"He contacted me very promptly and came to look at the project. He explained to me what the problem was and stated he did not have the proper special equipment to make the repair. He recommended a company that he felt sure would be able to do the work."

"This was our third time working with Rick of America's Blind Crafters. We have worked with him so often as it has always been a very positive and professional working experience. Rick is respectful of our home and schedule, knowledgeable about his products, helpful in making selections and items/issues to consider that we wouldn't have thought about, and expedient and effective in installing the blinds. Rick goes above and beyond in customer service - for example, reinstalling blinds that we had previously purchased from him when we had to have a few windows replaced. We would highly recommend Rick to our friends and neighbors."

I just moved.  Sellers had replaced all windows except in the basement.  Needed egress for basement bedroom. 







Installation dates were changed but they did everything they could to get 4 windows in before new deck was installed. 







There was miscommunication on the kind of windows for the downstairs rec room, which was under construction for remodel.  In that room I got 1 slider and 2 double hungs.  Not what I would have wanted if I'd understood.  It was miscommunication, but I told them it would've been helpful if they'd even drawn a picture or pointed out that there would've been two different types of windows in the same room.  We wound up constructing the room so the different windows would not be in the same room...made the storage area larger than intended, but it works.  Initially they said they'd change out the 2 double hungs.  Then they missed a couple appointments when they were to come back and install the 5th window.  At that point, I said, yes, go ahead and replace the 2 double hungs and just make it right.  They said they would but they would charge me full price.  It wasn't worth the aggravation since we

hadn't started putting walls up yet.....and were able to make it work.







Overall, this is a good deal.  I don't regret purchasing or working with them.  Ask lots of questions and make sure you completely understand the order!!  I do think they should've been willing to stand by the original offer and replace the 2 windows.  The expense on their part shouldn't have been more than labor since the windows could've been used on another project.  I would've split the labor cost with them. 







One of the missed appointments on the 5th window was due to their supplier being closed Labor Day weekend.  Since I was taking time off work and trying to work around their schedule, more communication and advance notice of the delays would've been helpful.  The entire process just had a few bumps!!

"Aaron and Bonnie were a delight to have! They did our window trim and were very much experts with what they were doing. Very communicative and friendly! Will absolutely recommend to friends."

"Ron Scott, the owner, came out in mid-September and viewed the home. He made several good suggestions about making carpentry repairs that would prevent damage and wood rot in future. Ron also pointed out the siding on the front showed water damage from age and suggested replacing siding on the garage. He promised an estimate within and day on the painting and siding and the garage with Hardy board, and complete the estimate of the carpentry, wood/trim replacement after his crew inspected. An estimate arrived by email late that evening. It was reasonable and including the specific repairs and adjustments he had recommended. He said it might be 6 weeks before he could get a crew out. Fortunately, White Dog called about a week later and said they could send a crew out earlier, if it was convenient. A four person crew showed up in early October and began work removing the damaged siding, rotted wood and preparing the rest of the house for painting. Tony and his three crew members showed up promptly at 9AM every weekday and left around 6PM. Ron came out on the 2nd day and went over the carpentry and repair estimate. He also suggested that replacement of the lap siding on the garage, in time, might not match up well with the rest of the front of the home and putting Hardy board siding across the whole of the front might be an option and gave me an additional quote for the whole front. I agreed to the carpentry and replacing the entire front with Hardy board lap siding. Work continued 6 workdays to completion. It was necessary for me to communicate the specifics of the adjustments and repairs to the gutters and other carpentry items mentioned in the contract but not communicated clearly to the crew. I had noticed that a different brand of Hardy board had been used to finish up the small pieces at the end of the job. It appeared they were damaged to some extent, as if used before. I mentioned this to the crew prior to priming the house and again to Noah Scott, at the final walk inspection. They did not admit not all the siding was new, nor did they deny it either. Ron was particularly sensitive when I first mentioned this in the review and insisted all the siding was new, even though different manufacturers. I suggested producing the invoices showing 2 different purchases of Hardy board. Still waiting to see the invoices. The preparation, caulking, and prime/final coats were expertly done. The house looked brand new. I paid the extra $350 to have them use Sherwin Williams' Duration paint. The last paint job was done with Duration and it held up exceptionally well. As I went back to wash the windows, spruce up the outside, I found that some of the wood trim replaced had the screws driven into the widow tracks, instead of the widow frame. Also, storm widows and doors had not been reinstalled with more air gap than I would have preferred. Two outside lights did not work and it was necessary to reinstall them. I had made White Dog aware of all of these, the whole crew came out as quickly as weather would permit and reattached some of the trim properly and caulked and repainted. I repaired the other items myself. Additionally, White Dog offered to paint an interior room or other handyman work to compensate for the inconvenience."
