"Broken Top Window Coverings did a great job of putting in custom shutters for my sky lights at a 30 degree angle (not easy to do) and installing a Hunter Douglas custom shutter configuration for my Master Bedroom large high-arch window. Totally professional, expert engineering/installation, and very responsive to unique customer needs. I am hiring them again to do another custom shutter installation."
"The installers did a great job installing both the windows and doors. Very clean and professional installation. The only negative would be a miscommunication on window function. We initially looked at a Pella vinyl window that had a night latch which we liked. These were west and south facing windows so we wanted to go with something more durable and decided on Pella fiberglass windows. When we asked if the fiberglass model had all the same features, we were told by TVE yes. However, these particular windows apparently don't come with a night latch. The double hungs were also somewhat difficult to close both upper and lower windows. TVE called the Pella rep and asked them to set up a review with us to check function and to see if anything could be done to add a night latch. I very much appreciated TVE's proactive approach on this relatively minor issue."
"I did not go with this company, they refunded my money because I didn't like their design. I've reviewed this before. Please can you stop these requests to do a review. "
"Two painters arrived and it was clear that one was inexperienced. The "Big Deal" called for a full day painter or two painters for four hours. The one painter with experience had to stop what he was doing on several occasions and help the other one out. Needless to say the job progressed slowly and I called RSU and told them about this. The experienced painter came back the next day and finished the job, but it cost me another 199.00. "
"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it. Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "
"My husband and I hired North State innovations to remodel our home. James was very professional, and offered quality advice when it came to picking material for the home. Between the wall color and the floor choice we could not be happier. We will be contacting James for future remodels."
