Wingler Construction & Remodeling has been the local Columbus choice (since 1960) for replacement windows and other home remodeling projects. We supply and install many types and materials of windows.
Went to the showroom where Eric Wingler tried to sell us vinyl windows even though I said we really were only interested in wood windows. Regardless, I agreed to have him come out and put together a quote for Anderson and Pella windows. He didn't show up. Apparently, he overslept because he had a long weekend. I should have just ended it then. But he came out later that day, measured the windows, said he would write up a quote, and then nothing. I called three weeks later and left a message, but still nothing. Not quite sure what the problem was, but it seems like a poor way to run a business. To be honest, I kind of feel duped by the high Angie's List ratings.

I received a good estimate from Jeff Wingler. The estimate was well presented and covered everything that I wanted done. I was called on my phone the day before the work began. The entire job was done in less than a day. I have been very satisfied with the result. The installers even gave me a lesson on the proper use of the new windows.
Description of Work: Installed windows in a screened in porch, plus a new storm door.

They had a very competitive price, this work was done due to hail damage. I was the one who worked with the insurance company. They showed up to do the work on time. After the work was done some of the work needed to be fixed after there were problems. They then came back four months later and now everything looks fine. They seem like a good company! They are actually coming out soon to put windows in a screened in porch. We would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They resided our whole house. We have a two story house that is approximately 1,000 square feet; there was only one small section on the front of the house that had brick. This work was done because of hail damage.

The initial installation went well. The installer was efficient and punctual. However, after the installation there was a problem with the water control unit. After having a follow up service call about five times (over the course of a year and a half) they eventually fixed the problem when a third party vendor came to do the work.
Description of Work: They remodeled our bathroom. They put in new trim, flooring and replaced the shower. This work was done a few years ago and was the first time that we had used this company.
They did a good job the first time we hired them so we had them come back out to do this additional work for us. They showed up on time to provide the estimate and also to complete the work. They cleaned up after themselves everyday. This took a few months to complete as I started adding jobs while they were doing other work. The workers were friendly, professional and courteous except for the siding manager. The siding manager wouldn't come back so I contacted them about this and were able to take care of everything for me. When the wind blew off a piece of the flashing they took care of everything right away. I would use them again and would also recommend them.
Description of Work: They put on siding, awnings, new gutters, a roof on the garage and house and also installed a new front door and a window. This is a Cape Cod style home. We had used Wingler previously for other work. They did these services in October.

They showed up on time to do the siding work. They were friendly, professional, and courteous. They even explained what they were doing. They cleaned up a little bit every day and at the end of the job everything was cleaned up as well. I later contacted them for a kitchen remodel however I wasn't very happy with their responsiveness. They sent someone out to look at the kitchen and said that before they could do anything they would need a major down payment. I thought this was excessive so I did not call them back to do the work.
Description of Work: They put up new siding all around our one story home. This was the first time that we used them. This work was about three years.

It was an excellent job and we were very pleased with them. They had a gentleman come out and go over with us what we wanted. He then took us to different places to select the granite, appliances and everything else. It was very good. They did professional work and it was well done. They showed up on time to do the work. They did what they said what they were going to do. We would use them again and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They remodeled our whole kitchen for us a few years ago. We kept the flooring that was there before but they did the cabinets, appliances and regutted the whole kitchen. We had false brick that they took out, put in can lights throughout the kitchen and through the hallway, painted the area, and installed granite countertops.

Eric Wingler gave us an on-site estimate. The estimate was the lowest of the four we had, and we thought their product was the nicest we had seen. We also had NFRC data showing the windows were among the most energy efficient. Unlike other contractors, they were able to schedule the work within a just a few weeks. Apparently Wincore has a very quick turn-around on orders. As scheduled, Rick and Shawn came to our house to begin work. They were courteous and hard-working. They listened to special concerns we had and were happy to make small changes we requested. The window installation was done within the first 3 days. Then it took them a few more days to finish all the aluminum caps. The caps were difficult because of the shape of the old wood molding they were covering. They worked very hard on those caps, and the final result looks great. Other contractors have commented on how great those caps look. We have had the windows for 4 months now, and the quality is excellent.
Description of Work: Wingler & Sons replaced 16 old wooden windows with new vinyl windows. (That included 14 double-hung, 1 slider, and 1 fixed pane window.) The windows were Wincore 7700 argon-filled, low-e coated vinyl windows. They also added aluminum capping around the exterior trim of all the windows and doors.

We waited seven months for Mr. Wingler to send us an accounting. In the meantime, a reputable stucco company assessed the situation and said that the only way to remedy the brown caulking stains on the stucco was to paint -- all of the stucco for a cost of $6000 -- which we did. Seven months later, Mr. Wingler finally billed us for the balance of the original contract, $2000. In fact, we should bill Mr. Wingler for the full cost to remedy the damage his workers caused to our home. However, what we want is for Mr. Wingler to send us a receipt stating that our account has a zero balance, that we owe them nothing. Mr. Wingler said this was an unfair resolution and that we were taking advantage of him just to paint our house. We explained that unpainted stucco doesn't need to be painted but once you paint it, you have to repaint it again and again. We bought a stucco house in the first place because we NEVER wanted to have that maintenance burden.
Description of Work: We contracted with Wingler to put in new brown aluminum frames on our home's exterior windows, entry doors, and the garage. Wingler installed the window frames cockeyed and sealed them with brown caulking on the back our house. Ron Wingler came to inspect the work and instructed his workers to correct the problem by removing the cockeyed frames and reinstalling them correctly. The employees removed the frames but were unable to remove the brown caulking. This left an unsightly ring of brown caulk on the beige stucco of the house. Next, the employees tried to remove the caulking with a product that smeared the caulk. Not only did the product smear the caulk, it left a permanent, unsightly stain on the stucco. This was supposed to be a 4 day job. One month later it was still unfinished because of poor workmanship. After many weeks of unproductive conversations with Mr. Wingler, we finally asked him to wrap it up and send us an accounting of the balance due.

Response from Wingler Construction & Remodeling
When we removed the original old aluminum window caps, which were not installed by our company, there was original old caulk showing. We made our caps larger to cover the old caulk lines visible. We tried to use mineral spirits and a wire brush to clean off the old caulk for her even though we did not put it there. The member made a statement to our installer not to worry about it because she was going to have the house painted. Therefore, she is trying to get out of paying us for work we completed. We have only received $1,709.18 and not the $3,000 the member has claimed she paid to us. Our raw costs paid out to date for the work we have completed totals $3,689.

When I was restoring the household, I decided during the middle of the work that I was going to stay in the house rather than sell. This added more work than the estimate had been for but the company accommodated me in making new changes that I had asked for.
Description of Work: They tore out my old bathroom and installed a new bathroom. They put in a new sink, commode, bath, shower area. They also installed new plumbing and electric and installed an air vent. They also installed a new tile floor and wainscoting on the walls. New lights were also installed as well as a medicine cabinet. They also reworked the linen closet. They did a fine job in relocating the heating duct in the bathroom to accommodate the shower. They also skim coated and repainted the walls and ceiling in the bathroom.

This is my 2nd (maybe 3rd) try at using Wingler and Sons Construction. It's now my last. I am less than impressed by their customer service. I also agree with another report that they are less than interested in small $ jobs. I had the feeling from meeting Dennis for the estimate that I was wasting his time and, after our conversation, I realize he wasted mine.
Description of Work: I was interested in getting an initial estimate to have my bathroom done since I had no idea what the cost might be.

THANK YOU FOR THE INQUIRY YOU MADE TO WINGLER & SONS CONSTRUCTION. YOU ARE CORRECT IN THAT THIS WAS YOUR THIRD INQUIRY TO US WITH THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS BEING IN 2005, UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO WIN YOUR BUSINESS. QUESTIONING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR BUSINESS AND WITH DIRECT REGARD TO OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OF HIGH IMPORTANCE WITH US SO WE FELT IT IMPERATIVE TO MEET WITH ALL INVOLVED. WITH THAT SAID I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER DENNIS’ SIDE OF THE MEETING. DENNIS STATED THAT UPON CONTACT TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT HE WAS INFORMED THAT YOU WERE NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WERE GOING TO DO THE PROJECT, REGARDLESS HE OFFERED TO COME OUT. HE ARRIVED PUNCTUALLY AND WAITED FOR YOU TO ARRIVE AT SAID PLACE AND TIME. HE SAID HE SPENT ROUGHLY 20 MINUTES GOING OVER YOUR IDEAS AND LAID OUT AND ACCOMPLISHED YOUR GOAL AND PROVIDED A PRICE IN THE AREA OF $20,000 (WHICH IS BY NO MEANS A “SMALL $ PROJECT”). HE WAS INFORMED THAT YOU DEFINITELY WERE NOT GOING TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT AT THAT TIME, PERHAPS IN A FEW YEARS ONCE BUDGET WAS ESTABLISHED. WITH THAT SAID, I APOLOGIZE IF YOU FELT THIS MATTER SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED IN ANOTHER FASHION. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO MEND OUR LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIP. WE WOULD STILL LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU ON A PROJECT SOMETIME. THANK YOU, WINGLER & SONS CONSTRUCTION

Alley never called. I called him on November 5th to inquire about the estimate. He said he figured there was no hurry. He said the estimate was $2,650.00. I asked if I could get that in writing. He said sure. He said he'd have the office type it up and send it to me. On December 14th I called him again and asked where the estimate was. He said they should have sent it by now. He said he resolve the problem. It is now January 7th and I still have no estimate. Now, I don't care because I wouldn't hire this company if they were the last one available. The receptionist (Kathy) was right, they are not interested in doing this job.
Description of Work: I called Wingler on October 22, 2007 to inquire about having them replace some damaged paneling in my basement study. The receptionist (Kathy) said she doubted if they would be interested but would have someone call me. Sure enough, estimator Andy Alley called and said he would come out and look the job over. He came on October 25th. He recommended a straight forward solution. He was very professional and provided much useful information. He said he would call on October 29th with the estimate. That was the end of the positive experience with this company.
