Description of Work: We hired Paramount Siding and Windows in March of 2015 to install 7 windows, a front door, and new siding.? The job also included installing insulation board under the siding.? We spoke to three Angies-list contractors, but we felt most comfortable with Brandon O?Leary, the company president, and his ability to listen, make sense of what we wanted, and investigate different ways to keep the project reasonably priced. To his credit Brandon consistently took responsibility for mishaps and seemed interested in and committed to providing a great product.?? But too many mishaps, miscommunications, and frustrations dominated this project.??? Unless you can personally act as project supervisor and remain on site during installation work, I would not recommend this outfit. Twice before this project commenced I was told that window installation would be the first facet addressed.? Following instructions, I removed all appropriate window blinds and hardware.? ??The job commenced on June 10 and it was supposed to be a 2-3 week job.? ?By early July I was still waiting for the new windows to be completed. ?Two of the windows were damaged, two more of the windows had to be redone after the original installation.?? I had to call these issues to Paramount?s attention. Why did I feel I had?to act as an on site supervisor for Paramount?? On June 10, the day the project started Jon, company operations manager informed 3 separate crews who appeared at my house:? ? You are all adults, work together?and DO NOT touch the Bellyband? (a ten inch strip of 2?thick cedar that separates the second floor from the first floor on the exterior of the house). ??One hour later an employee cut and removed a 10 foot section of the bellyband.? Also, within three hours one of the crew leaders used an 8? sawzaw and cut around my electrical box, cutting though my den wall and nicking a wire.? My TV control chip was fried and we were without TV for 3 weeks.? Work was stopped and Paramount called in an electrician to review the situation and schedule repairs for the end of the next day. In addition, on the afternoon of June 10, my wife discovered a discarded copy of the contract in the street in front of our home. ?This document included our credit card information with all details.?? By that evening we realized no fewer than four employees had been given our ?secure? information and ??we felt compelled to cancel the credit card that evening. After seeing multiple crew configurations over the next 7 work days, I asked Jon who would be the lead installer at our home.? The inconsistency among crews was leading to multiple delays, lost tools and materials, and too little oversight.?? He informed me Jason would be the crew leader for the rest of the job.? The next day Jason and his laborer worked.? That was the last day we saw crew leader Jason. ? We were not unhappy with Dwayne, the crew leader that replaced Jason.? Dwayne Cardoza proved conscientious, hardworking, skilled and quick to communicate any changes in plans.? But the job dragged on and on because the men were short on materials and often had to run to Home Depot or other suppliers.? Dwayne?s crew was 2-3 young men, between 16-19 years old and when the crew lacked anything, only Dwayne could drive to pick up materials so work stopped.??? Dwayne?s workers were respectful, intelligent, and hardworking.? They didn?t have the experience of seasoned builders so I?worried that more damage to my home or injury to?the crew was likely to occur if I did not act as another set of eyes on project.? I want to note here that most of the more than 14?Paramount employees were?friendly, helpful, caring,?and decent people who seemed consistently?eager to perform good work. ?Paramount just didn't seem to have enough skilled workers for each phase of the project.? The door that arrived for installation at the end of June was incompatible with the existing frame.? Apparently Jon the manager had either measured incorrectly or ordered the wrong door.? I was also informed at the time that my security door wasn?t compatible with the ordered door.? I informed the installers that I ordered the door on the condition that I could retain my security door and wouldn?t accept anything that didn?t look good and function correctly.? Jon tried to convince his installers?via telephone-- to make several quick fixes on the door despite the fact that the threshold would extend 2? further out than it should have.? The installer looked embarrassed when he explained the ?fixes.?? I said get the right door.??? One month later (July 31) another door arrived.??? Jon had also missed that fact that my existing door handle and lock holes were lower than those of the new door.?? Instead of sending this 2nd door back I agreed to move my keypad bolt lock to the back door.? Brandon agreed to pay for the locksmith for re-keying the new front bolt lock to match the security door lock. We were pleased with the paint job done by Better Finishes #1? (Jorge Andrade) who was subcontracted by Brandon.? Quality work, Jorge. On 9/22 the job was completed.? Our 2-3 week job became a 2-3 month job.? Granted, additional work was done?removing blackboard and replacing it with plywood?and we were out of town for part of the time when the second door was ready for installation (maybe a week).? But the innumerable delays, mis-measurements by the company operations manager, the careless blunders by Paramount workers, and the sub-par estimates of required materials made this a difficult experience for us. Finally, I learned in September (from a friend I referred to Paramount in April) that she was offered money by Paramount to write a review for Angie?s list.? She informed the Paramount employee (either Karen or Katherine) that she could not write a positive review.? ?(She gave me permission to include this in this review.) ??Not surprisingly,?I was not asked to write a review.
