replacement windows
+ -1 moreRoss was extremely responsive from the beginning of our job. He accommodated our schedule at all times, pushed to meet some tough deadlines due to the coming winter, and was on the job at all times when needed to supervise the window installation. It couldn't have gone better. I was also very pleased at how livable the project was and the way in which the house was left; very clean. The work was done beautifully. I have had a number of neighbors ask who did our work since the windows are stylistically different than what we had before, our house looks quite different. We have had many compliments and I have referred several friends to Ross for windows as well.
Description of Work: Ross estimated the cost of new windows for our entire house. He also assisted me in selecting the size and style of window that would be the best fit with our home while providing me with the "prairie look" I was looking for to add to our home. After Ross researched the best windows for us, he then obtained pricing on our initial choice of window; casements in wood. When I received the estimate, it was significantly higher than I had anticipated, and I asked Ross to get another estimate for double-hung windows, again with the prairie look. This was a significant amount of extra time; it required a lot of remeasuring and research on his end. He did this all with great humor, and recommended some extremely beautiful windows that were significantly less in cost than others I had originally chosen. The windows are indeed beautiful, thanks to Ross and his guidance. All work was done professionally and looks wonderful. I'll definitely use Quality First again.

gutter repair
+ -1 moreThe quality of the material used was good, but the installer moved the location of several downspouts without asking us about it first. He also failed to relocated one downspout that we had asked to be moved. When we asked that one of the relocated downspouts be moved back to it's original location it took a long time to get the work done and the quality of the rework was poor. We had to have them come back a third time to fix it again. I had to argue with the installer to get him to finish the work properly.
Description of Work: They replaced all our gutters and downspouts.

+ -1 moreThe end result is great, though the process was challenging. The job was started late, was supposed to start in fall, and didn't start until summer of the next year. This was due to contractor not getting permit on time and then other delays. Crew was inconsistent in being on the job, there for a few days, then not there. Several things had to be done over. Stain and sealer put on long after it should have been. Owner was responsive to difficulties though it was tiring always having to address things.
Description of Work: Build a two level custom deck with custom railing and benches.

roofing
+ -1 moreI don't like having to chase down a service provider. I'll try twice, giving them the benefit of the doubt. (vacation, illness, etc.) These people may do good work, but it appears you have to keep nagging at them to get them to call you back. Even if they were super busy and didn't want the job, they should have at least called back to tell me.
Description of Work: I called to set up a time for them to come out and provide an estimate for the work to be performed. I left a voice mail message. After several days, there was no response, so I called again and left another message. This was done 7/25 and a few days later, (I didn't log the second date) I had never received a call back.

gutter repair, roofing
+ 0 moreThis estimate was lower than one other company and equal to another. The other didn't do porches which we also needed. (See Decks and Porches). Ross was great with checking out the roof, organizing the work quickly and efficiently, responding to calls, keeping appointments or calling. The crew was timely, courteous, and very professional. We love the new roof and fascia, and how much better it makes the place look.
Description of Work: Replacing the shingles on a brick two flat. From the contract: "Remove and haul away all debris from existing layers of roofing and replace any damaged wood with new lumber. Install GAF 36'' wide rubber ice shield around the entire perimeter, rooftop valleys and chimney. Install 30# felt paper with moisture barrier. New aluminum flashing installed on all roof top pipes, vents, chimney. Install two vents to assure proper air ventilation. Install GAF 25 yr Fiberglas shingles to entire roof with 4 galvanized nails per shingle. Install .032 gauge seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts. All fascia cover with aluminum. 10 year warranty on labor, 25 years on materials." Porch was also replaced - see report under Decks and Porches.

decks
+ -1 moreThis company who was the third of three estimates and was lowest. Ross, the contractor, was always on time or called. The work crews were excellent and porch looks great. They were able to complete the job in the time promised which was 6 1/2 days(after permits were obtained, see below). The company gets A+ all the way around. Doing a porch in the current climate of extreme caution about safety of porches in the City of Chicago was trying for both the contractor and us. The City of Chicago building Department required a great deal of documentation and changed the rules in the middle of the project. The contractor kept us informed for the whole permit process and managed as well as he could. The permit process took over four months but the porch was started within days of getting the permit. (The City of Chicago gets a D-).
Description of Work: A two story roofed wooden porch on a two flact brick building was replaced with a similiar wooden porch constructed to current City of Chicago building codes. A new roof was also done which can be seen under 'Roofing'.

siding
+ -1 moreI AM HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, THOUGH THERE WERE ISSUES ALONG THE WAY. THE TRIM ON THE FRONT DOOR NEEDED TO BE REDONE--THIS WAS HANDLED WELL BY ROSS, THE CONTRACTOR, AND IT WASN'T AN ISSUE. IN MY INITIAL MEETING WITH HIM, HOWEVER, HE NOTED THAT THEY TAKE STORM WINDOWS OFF TO INSTALL THE TRIM. I LIKE THIS APPROACH, HOWEVER THEY DID NOT DO THIS DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. IN FACT, THEY BENT THE STORM FRAMES SLIGHTLY TO SLIDE THE TRIM UNDER. THIS WAS UPSETTING AND THEY NEVER RECTIFIED IT. I HAD TO POUND OUT THE DENTS MYSELF. IN ADDITION, THE CAULK INSTALLATION AROUND THE WINDOWS WASN'T COMPLETED AND I HAD TO GET THEM TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. I REALLY LIKE THE END RESULT OF THE WORK--BUT THERE WERE ISSUES THAT HAD TO BE ADDRESSED.
Description of Work: INSTALLED NEW VINYL SIDING AND TRIM.
