And we offer products and services that support those decisions — windows and siding that exceed government standards for energy efficiency and sustainability, matched with expert installation and customer support to ensure that the products you choose perform well .

We're pretty satisfied, and will use them again as we continue to replace our house's windows over the next couple of years. The sales individual was excellent, and the measurers/installers (who I believe they subcontract) were also great. The only "ding" on them was that once we signed the initial contract, they dropped off communication completely until the windows were in. It would have been nice to have some updates on the progress of the windows' manufacture, just to make sure that they didn't forget us! Overall, though-a real positive experience.
Description of Work: Apex came out and gave us an estimate on new windows. They measured and installed 6 windows for us.

My main issue is that I felt somewhat misled by the sales person Greg Strand. My wife and I went to the APEX office to take a closer look at some of the windows to make sure they were to our liking. We picked out a certain style of window, with a wood textured look on the inside. Greg wrote up the contract at which point he recorded the colors we wanted - white on both sides and the windows were ordered. The turn-around was fairly quick and APEX was very flexible with installation dates. Midway during the installation process I realized the window frames were non-textured on the inside but flat which makes them a bit shinier in how they reflect light. I guess it is a subtle difference, but it was not what we thought we ordered. At that point it was too late to stop as some windows had already been replaced while my old windows were removed. I called Greg Strand to mention to him that there was a problem with the look on the insde. He then told me they don't sell wood-grain windows that are white inside and out. In addition, he said he did not remember we discussed the texture of the frame at all. He asked someone in the office to check the texture, then called me back and said they were not textured but flat! This really took the cake. I withheld 20% of the installation costs and had some additional discussions with Strand and another Greg at APEX. They did not apologize, but did admit that the windows in their office were textured, but that they were colored on the outside. I finally spoke with the owner Michael Foit to explain the situation and he did apologize for the apparent misunderstanding and was helpful in trying to resolve the problem (some of which would cost me more money, but that's beside the point - he tried). We came to an agreement. My wife and I felt that the way the sales staff of APEX dealt with us was atrocious, making us feel like liars. If you decide to do business with APEX, beware to triple check your order with the APEX sales staff to avoid any "misunderstanding".
Description of Work: We had 6 windows replaced at our home with triple-paned vinyl windows by APEX. I have no complaints about the quality of the windows, they are very nice, and the installation crew did great work. They really took pride in their work and paid attention to details, such as finishing trim inside and out on one of the bay windows. It really looks very nice.

Response from Apex Energy Solutions
CERTAINLY THERE WAS MISUNDERSTANDING HERE. IT WAS GREAT MEETING THE MEMBER AND HIS WIFE IN HOME AT THE LIVING SHOW ROOM AS THE MEMBER MENTIONED. UPON PULLING UP TO OUR SHOW ROOM ALL WINDOWS HAVE THE BEIGE EXTERIOR AND DIFFERENT COLORS AND WOOD GRAINS FOR THE INTERIOR. THIS IS CALLED "TWO TONE." THE CONTRACT CALLED FOR WHITE/WHITE WINDOWS NOT THE TWO TONE. THE CONTRACT DOES NOT CALL FOR "WOOD GRAIN" COLOR OPTIONS. ALSIDE AS WELL AS ALL OTHER MANUFACTURERS DO NOT OFFER WHITE WOOD GRAIN ON ANY WINDOWS. (APEX WOULD BE HAPPY TO OFFER A COPY OF OUR CONTRACT TO ANY ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS.) ALL OF OUR CONTRACTS GIVE A THREE DAY DECISION PERIOD FOR HOMEOWNERS TO RESEARCH AND SOLIDIFY ANY QUESTIONS - NO WOOD GRAIN QUESTIONS AROSE. IN THE 150 HOMES I WAS IN LAST YEAR THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN QUESTIONS OF WHITE WOOD GRAIN. APEX LET THE MEMBER HOLD $2000 UNTIL ALL WAS WORKED OUT. WE OFFERED TO REPLACE ALL THE WINDOWS AT COST WITH A BEIGE EXTERIOR. WE DID APOLOGIZE AND GAVE A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO RUTH CHRIS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MORE APEX COULD HAVE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS MISUNDERSTANDING. IN THE END THE MEMBER WAS VERY PLEASED WITH OUR WINDOWS, AND SIGNED OFF AS SUCH. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND PROFESSIONALISM AND THE BEST QUALITY PRODUCT IN EVERY HOME. SINCERELY, GREG STRAND

They were great and they were easy to work with. The guys who did the installation were all very nice. They always called and kept me informed of when they were coming. When they arrived they noticed they did not have my cranks so they made an extra trip to back to make sure I had them.

Very excellent service. The person (Gregg), came out did the estimate. Nice to work with, trust worthy. I couldn't of asked for anything better. The windows were cracked but it wasn't their fault and they were honest enough not to put them in there. We had to wait a little bit but it was worth it cuz we didn't get cracked windows. Jerry installed the windows. They cleaned up everything and did excellent work and they were very pleasant to be around. They were just a pleasure to work with. Once they put in a window, they finished that window so there wasn't open holes everywhere.

I am really happy with the windows. The sliding doors that they used to replace the older doors were smaller than the old ones. I don't think that they did as good of a job on the doors as the windows because the opening was larger than the door frame itself. So they had to extend the molding on the door and the quality of the work could have been better. The workers were really friendly and the price that they gave me was reasonable.

The two guys that installed were the nicest workman I have ever had! They were courteous and professional. They were concerned with my puppies and pointed out a gate that wasn't working right, and fixed the gate! They did a great job with the windows, too! Everything was great, and I would highly recommend them to anyone! The windows are a great quality, look great, and work well.
Description of Work: They installed 67 Alside casement windows. They were all replacement windows that fit in perfectly! We got a promotional rate based on the amount of windows we had, and I agreed to let them advertise in my yard.

The windows were ready ahead of schedule. They were installed by another company. The windows were as promised and are very good windows. They have practically eliminated drafts and reduced outside noise considerably. They did reduce the window area much more than expected as the sales person said we would only loose about an inch when in realty it was at least 2 inches. The caulk they provided the installers to caulk around the windows was a clear silicon that turned grey rather than clear and as a result looks terrible. Apex claims this is the caulk they always use and that the grey will clear over time. It has been 4 months and there is no sign of clearing. We withheld approximately $2000 and ask that they come back and use a colored caulk. Apex refused and said don't worry it will clear up but in-case it didn't they gave us a $200 credit. It would take a skilled installer only a couple of hours to use a colored caulk and cover up the clear, but Apex would not budge from their position. Not wanting to get involved in a collection dispute, we paid the remaining amount. I want to stress that the windows are very good. It is the management and sales people of Apex that we have trouble with.
Description of Work: Provided windows for others to install, 23 replacement windows for our home.

THE MEMBERS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH US ON 12-11-07. THEY WERE INSTALLED ON 1-28-08. THEY NOTED IN THEIR SURVEY THAT THEY WERE "SATISFIED" WITH INSTALLATION, AND THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND US, ETC. OUR AGREEMENT STATES WE USE ONLY HIGH-QUALITY SILICONE CAULKING AND THE JOB IS PERFORMED ACCORDING TO "STANDARD PRACTICES". THE CAULK USED IS SENT WITH THE PRODUCT DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURE AND IS THE SAME CAULK USED IN OVER 1500 APEX INSTALLED HOMES LAST YEAR. IT IS A CLEAR CAULK, WHICH IS STANDARD FOR WOODGRAIN WINDOWS. THE MEMBER'S HUSBAND WAS NOT HAPPY WITH IT STATING IT APPEARED DARKER. WE BELIEVE THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE THE DARK WOODGRAIN IS REFLECTING THROUGH THE CAULK. THE CAULK ALSO CURES OVER TIME AND BECOMES MORE TRANSLUCENT WITH TIME. HE DEMANDED WE TRY SOMETHING ELSE. WE BROUGHT HIM OUR A BEIGE CAULK, AGAIN FROM OUR MANUFACTURE. WE USED IT ON ONE WINDOW TO SEE IF HE PREFERRED A COLORED CAULK. HE DID NOT LIKE THAT ONE EITHER. HE WANTED US TO EITHER SHOP FOR COLORED CAULK AT HOME DEPOT, ETC OR LET HIM FIND ONE AND HAVE US RE-CAULK HIS WINDOWS. WE STATED THAT WE COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT USE CAULKING THAT WAS NOT SENT BY OUR MANUFACTURE AS LIABILITY ISSUE CAN OCCUR. AGAIN, THIS CLEAR CAULK IS STANDARD AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO INTELLIGENTLY DEBATE A SHADE OF CLEAR CAULK AND BECAUSE HE HAD WITHHELD $2172.00 FOR SEVERAL MONTHS DUE TO THE ISSUE WE FINALLY ASKED HIM WHAT DISCOUNT HE WOULD ACCEPT TO SHOP FOR THE CAULK HIMSELF? HE AGREED ON $200.00 WE THEN GAVE HIM A CREDIT, WHICH HE ACCEPTED. APPARENTLY, HE HAS NOW GIVEN US A "D" RATING FOR PROFESSIONALISM, ALTHOUGH HE AGREED TO THE CREDIT. WE DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY THAT THE MEMBERS WERE GOING TO BE SATISFIED REGARDLESS OF OUR EFFORTS. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS WITH A STATEMENT FROM OUR MANUFACTURE THAT THE OSI CAULKING USED IS AMONG THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY AND IS INDEED CLASSIFIED AS "CLEAR". AGAIN, WE HAVE USED THIS CAULK SINCE 2001 IN OVER 4,000 HOMES IN OUR CINCINNATI, LOUISVILLE, DALLAS, AND INDIANAPOLIS LOCATIONS WITHOUT A SINGLE COMPLAINT.

Excellent work. The salesman, Greg, explained the product in detail. When he delivered the estimate, he explained the terms clearly and then went outside to put away samples while we considered the proposal in private. NEVER ANY PRESSURE TO SIGN. The project was done in many phases, at our request. The existing home is 55 years old and had the original windows. First we replaced all the old windows. Second, we had Apex install 2 large windows and a 1/2 round window in a new addition we were building. Next, Apex installed siding, soffets and trim on all non-brick areas of the home including the new addition. After that, they installed all new gutters. The last phase is a new front door with sidelights as soon as our remodeling contractor gets the area framed. All along the way, Greg and the office team were there. Installation was coordinated with the builder and the product was always ready and waiting in their warehouse for us to say we were ready. Excellent work!
Description of Work: Installed 9 replacement windows plus converting one old window to bay window. Also installed two large windows and a 1/2 round window in new addition during construction. Additionally, installed siding on entire house including new addition. Also installed new front entry door with sidelights for new entryway. Also installed new windows in our son's house (a gift from mom and dad).

There was problems with one of the windows where it wasn't measured properly the first time. However, they came out and measured it again and were able to get it installed properly. They made good on the word and when we did have the problem they were able to correct it to our satisfaction. I would use them again.

Our windows were purchased and installed and I am completely satisfied. I purchased 19 very large windows, and two storm doors from Apex. Our house was chosen as a promotional home and we felt the price offered was a good deal. We had all wood Anderson windows replaced with Alside vinyl ones against my husband's opinion that we needed them. We have an old farm house and cleaning the old windows was getting to be a real chore and we aren't getting any younger. The new windows are easy pull down to clean inside and out. Greg presented us with his sales presentation and we bought that day. Rex came out to measure our windows within a week and the windows were ordered. Within five/six weeks Rex and his crew came out and installed our replacement windows in two days. Rex and his crew were very professional, leaving our house clean and no damage from the install. Our house is very quiet now and the windows are quality with lifetime guarantee.

From start to finish, the job was flawless. The windows are made to order, no drywall or repainting mess. The windows were installed in one day. The siding is insulated and the installers were polite, professional and on time. There was a time when the siding person was going to be late and he called to let me know. I cant believe the windows were that easy. The difference it made in the house is incredible. The siding is insulated, so I feel better saving money on energy costs in the future and the windows have made the house sound proof.
Description of Work: All new windows and siding in a home I purchased to renovate and rent out. Home was built in early 1980,s and the windows were single Payne and the wood siding was not even worth painting again. I was looking for energy efficient windows and siding and completely maintenance free. After interviewing 4 different companies, I decided on Apex Energy Solutions. I was impressed with the sales person, Aaron White, his laptop presentation was professional and he knew his product. After the quote was presented, the owner of the company, Micheal Foit, personnally came out to look at my property with me and discuss the window and siding details. None of the other companies did this. I felt confident in the product and trusted the company to do what I needed. I did do some background checking on their website and was very impressed.

This past winter, we had some extremely high heating bills, and had decided to make the investment in new windows. We did some brief research on the Internet, and were about to start calling around for estimates, when an Apex rep called on us, so we decided to schedule a time to listen to his presentation. He required both my wife and I to be home when he made the presentation, which was a bit annoying, but since we were in the market, we agreed. The presentation was informative, but rehearsed. Bottom line, we thought the price was fair so we signed and gave him a deposit. From contract to completion things went well. They called to set things up. They came when they said they would. They followed up and fixed the few things that needed fixing. We paid as agreed.
