Ultimately they did a superb job. There was a minor issue with the re-screening, but their responsiveness to fixing the issue was immediate. The team they sent out was excellent. I am completely happy with their work.

It went great! Absolute Aluminum has done work for my aunt and uncle and they were highly recommended, so I was excited to see the deal. The communication was excellent. Two men came to install my new gutters. The gutters were up in no time at all and they look really good. It changed the look of my house. I am enjoying the compliments from my neighbors and it's nice to not be bombarded with rain when I walk out the door when it rains (I have a very steep roof with a valley right above the front door). The screen was done by a different employee. He was equally as nice, professional, and efficient. I will be calling them again when I replace the gutters in the back and re-screen the pool.

$111

Response from Absolute Aluminum Inc
In speaking with the member by phone, it's hard to imagine how someone could give the grades he posted based on the conversation we had. the member indicated had a lanai room off the back of the house he had purchased with roll formed gutter that was leaking at the seam. He had no idea who had installed it or how old the room was but there was significant mildew at the seam indicated the seam had been leaking for a while. the member had purchased a "deal from Angie's List" getting $200 in gutter repair for $111. This work is done through our Service Department and during "Snow Bird" season (Nov-Apr), we are 8 weeks out on non-emergency service work (i.e. re-screens, new fasteners, gutter repair, etc.) since the demand to get things fixed prior to going back up north is magnified. In my conversation with the member, he didn't like the fact it took almost 8 weeks to get his gutter repair request finished. Although we had given him a rough idea of timetable in the initial conversations, in the end was unhappy with that. Secondly, fixing existing gutter leaks in old gutter (especially in seams of older rolled form gutter) is more or less a temporary fix at best. The best we can do is clean out the area and apply the best sealing agents available in the market. However, even when applied pefectly, it will eventually leak again. the memeber also had us do some minor work on a couple of downspouts and that was it. So he wasn't happy with is Angie's List Deal, the price, our professionalism, our quality "D's" across the board? Although we gave him an idea of the expected time frame in advance, he still gave us a failing grade on responseness for a gutter seam leak that had been there for years. In my conversation with the member, I told him that we were going to refund the $111 he paid through Angie's List. Initially he said I didn't have to do that but I insisted and will be mailing the entire amount back to him. I may not agree with the grades given out by the member, our company's reputation is worth far more than the money.

Very responsive and very professional. Storm ripped through the area and they were inundated with calls. They were still able to expedite the job in 2 weeks to rescreen my lanai. My neighbor came out and asked them to make some minor repairs to his screen while they were out there and did so without any charge. The workers were also good guys - very polite and hard working. I would recommend them to my neighbors, but it appears I won't have to.....

From the initial estimate provided by Lance Rankin through the actual installation, everyone at Absolute Aluminum did a great job for us. Dave Moser kept in contact by email regarding installation dates (much appreciated) and the crew that installed the gutters and downspouts were knowledgeable and professional. They also followed up immediately after to be certain our expectations were met, and the company president, Dale DesJardins, sent a note of appreciation for our business (also a nice touch).

The salesman was very pleasant but kept changing the price when he found out I had a lower bid. That made me uneasy. I wasn't sure exactly what it covered especially on the little details. After talking to neighbors that talked about how long they took to get work done, I chose another company. We used Benchmark Aluminum and I am so pleased with their work and timeliness.

It went well. In fact, they are coming out next month to do some of the work. They came out as was agreed upon and looked over the space. We talked about some ideas and they sent me a drawing. It wasn't as detailed as I was hoping, but it got the general idea across and they seem to be a price for what the work would cost and the elected to have the screening done.

I was hoping to get a professional paver design. I had used Outdoor Impressions in Tampa and was blown away with the design and hired them. Unfortunately Absolute Aluminum sent out an order taker. Period. I felt he had no design experience at all. I gave him the few ideas I had and that is all he used in the $59 computerization of my yard, no planters, benches nothing I don't feel he did anything but waist my time and money.

$59

Response from Absolute Aluminum Inc
We're sorry that we didn't meet your expectation and will gladly refund the $59. Angie's List has been very aggressive in trying to create programs for us (a member businesses) and in this case missed the mark. We are one of the largest providers of outdoor livivng products but unlike Outdoor Impressions, we do not do provide any landscape or landscape design. We have partnered with local companies like ArtisTree for incredible lanscape ideas for our clients but it's not something we do in-house. Our sales consultants give exceptional ideas to clients daily in helping them bring to life their vision. We've been a Super Service award winner every year we've been with Angie's List and will continue to stick to doing what we do best. Again, we apologize and hope you enjoy your new paver / landscape space!

Absolute Aluminum is Absolutely Perfect! We had a lanai by the pool that was opened to the pool and tucked under the existing roof structure. We did not want to get into the cost of foundations, etc. as required with a heavier traditional glass enclosure as we've done before. We were looking for a company that also had the capability to custom build a lighter weight high quality and sturdy aluminum/acrylic enclosure. Based on Angie's list reviews we contacted Absolute Aluminum. The experience with Absolute Aluminum has been perfect, from the day we walked into the showroom and met with a very pleasant and knowledgeable salesman until the job was completed, everything went perfectly. I want to add that the salesman also stuck through us with the entire job, he did not just sell us something. Also, the individual that pulls together the activities and interfaces with the customer did a superb job. All of the excellent comments on Angie's list are absolutely correct. All of the individuals were pleasant and knowledgeable, the materials of very high quality, excellent craftsmanship in the making and installation of the enclosure, and the scheduling of the work and followup were flawless. The aluminium structure is very sturdy and ties nicely into the house together with the existing pool cage. They do not use cheap aluminium, it is very heavy aluminum. I can't begin to describe how beautiful the structure is and it has easily added a couple of hundred square feet to the house. After the work was finished, we noticed one flaw in one of the sliders none had noticed before. I notified Absolute Aluminum, they responded immediately and an installation specialist was out the next day, examined the part and immediately placed a replacement part on order. I've spent many years around construction companies having houses/buildings done, etc., and I rate Absolute Aluminium right with the best companies I have worked with! The quality of the work, materials and professionalism are the best! And, all of the employees are happy and seem very well taken care of by Absolute Aluminum. All in all, it was an extremely pleasant experience.

Contacted company about installing gutters and downspouts around home--no previous gutters. Initial call to company by phone and appointment was set up with salesperson Caleb. Came out on 9/26/13 and took measurements, gave info about size/type of gutters and amount of downspouts and placement of them. I informed him that the reason for gutters was because of new mulch (rocks removed) and draining directly at base of home. He stated that downspouts would be extended to cement border to drain onto lawn. Price as quoted and agreed upon. Required a deposit, I think he said to secure spot on installation calendar (I could be wrong about reason). Anyway, paid with credit card $122. Caleb informed me that most or all further communication would be via email if agreeable, but that calls can be made as well. All communication was via email, from "welcome and thanks" to updates regarding schedule timeline. There had been much rain in this area so I knew that there would be a wait period. Finally a month later work was scheduled and completed. There was a slight issue that not all the downspouts extended out over the border and I notified them (via email) and sent pictures attached. The next day I received an email back from Dave and was assured that someone would be out to take a look and fix the problem. Sure enough, Eddie came out and added longer downspouts so that everything now hangs over the border onto the lawn. Eddie explained a slight miscalculation in measurements and that cost was based on that original calculation. I told him that I was going on the verbal explanation from salesperson as to how the downspouts would extend. I would have other work done by this company. I gave a B for price because I felt it to be a good and fair pricefor the job. FYI: (now I know) when having gutter and downspout installation whether with this or any other company, be sure that the exact length and location of downspouts are in the drawing as well as calculated in the costs,

Best business around. Always let us know exactly when they would be showing up, giving us a heads up. Was always on time and the professionalism of all the sub contractors on the job were awesome. Cannot say enough about this company. Run excellent from the top down. Anytime we wanted answers to our questions, they gave us their phone and emails and within 10 minutes, we always had an answer, day or night.

It took a couple of months to effect the job to be scheduled and completed. They had to hire and train people to meet their increased demands. The re-screening was done a couple of weeks prior to the rain gutter/down spout replacement, but BOTH jobs were done impeccably well. I wish I could show you the BEFORE and AFTER photos to better demonstrate the significance of having had this done.

[Member name removed], We appreciate your kind words regarding the work we did for you. Our gutter sales have almost tripled and required us to bring on an additional crew. That coupled with the rain fall we've had this summer has really pushed our scheduling department to the limit. We'll continue to work hard to get straight A's on our reviews and hope that you use Absolute Aluminum again for your future needs! Thanks again! Calvin Gray DIrector of Sales & Marketing

It went great. They are very busy but they do an excellent job. They have the latest solutions for the caged pool areas and do a thorough job in showing the materials they use and discussing the pros and cons of each. I felt that out of the 3 reputable companies I used to get quotes on, they were provided the most variations and options in the materials I could use for my rescreening. Their prices might not be the cheapest but comparying oranges with oranges, their prices are competetive. Their service people are quick and professional and did an excellent job on my panels. After the job was done, they sent me a warranty registration together with my receipt so I could fill it out and drop it in the mail for my 10 yr. warranty on the materials they used for my screens. They run a very good business, going smoothly even though they seem to be swamped with business!

Corey came to give me a quote 2 weeks prior approximately to the job being done. It was completely explained to me by Corey, at the time of the job quote, of how the job would be done, the matterials that would be used, why they would use the particular matterials that they do use, the warranty of the materials and job and the price. He was very professional and amiable. He kept in touch over the two weeks reminding me of the job date and asking if this was still ok. When asked if he required a deposit he said no and went on to explain that they would not require any payment untill the job was satisfactorily completed. The crew that came were very respectful. I had, between quote and job, picked up three 'water harvesting' Cisterns but did not know exactly how to position them to best effect. I also needed a 3/4 inch drill bit to complete the job. They let me borrow their drill bit and the crew chief worked with me in informing me of the prime positions for the Cisterns to be in. I installed them in the suggested spots and the crew tied them into the system at no extra charge. The day after the job Corey called again to make sure I was happy with everything done. He does this prior to depositing the check. What better than this can a homeowner ask of a sub-contractor?

We havent started the physical work yet, but will keep you updated. I cant say enough about Joe Clarkson. I have remodeled over 15 homes and have rarely found anyone able to personalize plans the way he has done.
Description of Work: The inital plan was for a caged 50x20 lanai in the backyard and an extended poured patio with motorized pergola on the side and a short cement wall and driveway and sidewalk in the front of our midcentury modern home. We had difficulty getting permits from the county for the extended cement patio and front yard walls. Joe C. was wonderful through this frustrating process and kept us very well informed of progress. We have changed the plans somewhat. They will be building a framed ,frosted glass fence for the side patio. In the end I think it will be "cooler" than the cement wall.
