After working through several options we had laid out ( one where we replace a couple windows, one where we replace all the windows and added fancy styles, etc, and one that was all windows but not fancy styling), we chose the 3rd option as we felt it gave us the most for our money while accomplishing what we ultimately wanted (nice home with no drafty windows). This ultimately lead to the replacement of all 22 windows in our home, add one window, remove 1 window, and change 4 large sliding windows to double-hung windows so that our home now has 26 windows. The nicest part was Wayne didn't require us to pay until we were happy with the result. He wanted us to trust him to do good work so he would trust us first. I thought that was an honest sentiment you don't see with many companies anymore.
After Wayne measured and ordered the windows, it took about a 6 weeks for them to arrive from the manufacturer. Three windows arrived incorrect (Wayne showed me the order and it was a manufacturer mistake) - Considering we ordered 26 windows, it wasn't a surprise to me. Wayne inspected the order when it arrived, caught the errors and had the replacements ordered right away. Since we were getting custom built windows it took about 2 weeks for the replacements to arrive.
Throughout the window installation process, Wayne keep great communication with us. As Wayne is a small business contractor, it was actually a gentleman named, Sammy, that performed the removal, construction (to add one windows and removed another window), and installation of all the windows. Sammy really just as friendly and would answer any nosy questions I had while remaining professional and staying on task. Sammy also adjusted easily when we asked Wayne to add few additional tasks (re-trim our front door to match the windows).
There was only one hiccup, Sammy had two young guys helping when he first started the job but then they stopped showing up and he had to fire time. However, it didn't effect the schedule and Sammy was able to carry on without them. Being a DIY person myself and watching him work, he really demonstrated craftsmanship, such that a year later, I'm still impressed. I highly recommend them to neighbors and family so I'm writing this review to show my thanks.
I was effectively, at this point, ripped off.
The service was one person for 6 hours or 2 for 3 hours. They called in advance and showed up in time. I showed them 4 items that I wanted them to work on. (1) Repair a cracked garage door window - I thought it was plexiglass but it was really glass that was cracked. He was able to take out the glass and then had to go to Lowe's to pick up the replacement glass for garage window frame. Once he returned he put the glass with frame back in. This took longer than expected and was two man job. I am glad I did not try to do this myself. I was very pleased with results. (2) Drywall repair - I had a hole in my garage wall and the helper replaced the drywall and taped/floated. This job was done pretty easily and was OK to my satisfaction since it was in the garage. If it was inside, I would have probably wanted a little more precision. (3) Loose tile - He repaired the once loose tile by gluing it back down and then re-grouted. This came out great. I was extremely pleased. (4) Add electrical outlet in closet - He was unable to perform this task because he was not a licensed electrician.
Overall this was a pretty good deal however in hindsight, I would have had more handyman tasks for them to complete. Since he was not able to install the electrical outlet, I didn't have more tasks to fill in my time.
i contacted them multiple times on numerous occasions. they always had an excuse. it defeated the purpose to have it resolved within 3 days. they came out, but never followed up with an appointment.
