Description of Work: Below is the email I sent to the owner on 7/1/2014. Just today (7/14/2014) I heard from him looking for his money. I asked if he read my email and he said yes, I was shocked to know that he read it and hadn't gotten in touch, since "he takes so much pride in his company". He did tell me he fired the contractor and didn't pay him...ok, that does nothing to fix my problems... |Rocky, | |My windows are complete, but not without many issues and complaints. From the very first meeting with Prestige, I have had issues, mostly with time and lack of communication, but also with safety and workmanship. | |My sales guy, Keith, was 2 hours late for our appointment. Needless to say, that wasn't a great first impression. I never heard from you guys about making an appointment to measure, until I called you. I was told Todd would be here between 330 and 4, he didn't get here til 6. Again, I didn't hear from anyone about installation until I called asking for a date. | | I was told that Todd would be here between 730 and 9 am on 6/25 to install (which in my contract states will take 1-2 days). He didn't arrive until 11am. He was here until 930pm and only completed half of the windows, but still had framing, caulking etc on the installed windows to complete. While here, the crew was very sloppy, (messy, but more importantly dangerous). I was told my daughter's room was 100% complete, to find a window (and screen) totally open--unacceptable! I have a 2 year old and 6 year old and I am responsible for 6 other children, as I run a licensed daycare out of my home.. I also found 2 shards or metal on my floor. The third safety issue was an open can of paint thinner left at my 2 year old son's eye level. All of the above mentioned, are unacceptable and were brought to Todd's attention. | | On 6/26, I was expecting the crew to come to complete the job. I was expecting them by 9 am. I got a phone call at 940, saying that the truck broke down and he was waiting for a part. I could go on and on about the texts and calls regarding what time he planned on being here, but he never was able to make it on Thursday. Stuff happens, I get it. I was having company on Saturday, so I needed the house to be in condition for me to clean it. | |Friday, 6/27 the crew is supposed to come first thing (my idea of first thing is 730/8, I think theirs was 9, called saying it would be noon, and didn't show up until 2pm. They come to complete the first round that they left unfinished, as they could not do more without a truck and equipment, so I could at least make my home presentable. At this point I didn't understand why another truck hadn't been established; whether rented or loaned. | |I told them that Saturday was not a good day to finish the job, but Sunday would be fine. Never heard anything and therefore texted Todd Sunday evening to confirm that he would be here first thing Monday morning to finish. | |Monday 6/30 I was told they would be here between 11-12. At 1140 he texted saying that he would be here between 1-130. I called at 2 after not hearing from or seeing him and he said 45 minutes. They finally arrived at 310pm. They worked until 11:30 pm. Didn't ask me, just did it. I am sure he knew that at this point I wanted them done and out. | |Todd also wanted to collect the balance from me for the windows, which was not an accurate amount per our discussion on May 29th. I told him I would reach out to Rocky today. I have no paperwork with a guarantee or warranty, I need this info as well please. | |The windows seem ok, the caulk around them is fair, dirty fingerprints here and there. I wasn't told how to care for or clean them. I can't get the sticky stuff off (so a solution to this would be appreciated). I definitely have painting that needs to be done to cover up some sloppy caulking. I will also have to call in a carpet cleaner as the carpets are now (to my standards) gross. | |Not a great experience overall and I really hope the windows themselves don't disappoint me. I would like someone to come get the sign from my front yard as I am more than positive my neighbors (3 of which) asked "what is taking so long?" "why are they there so late?" and "how many cigarettes can those guys possibly smoke in one day?", will likely not be using you guys. | | |Please contact me so we can discuss this and payment.
