AES Builder & Home Improvements

Description of Work: Bathroom remodeling. All work was excellent. Job took longer than it should have because of supplier delay. I highly recommend AES.

Description of Work: Window and siding replacement.

Description of Work: I did not use the NOT use the other 4 providers that you keep asking me about. So stop.......

Description of Work: Salesman was professional and not "pushy". Would have gone with this company, but price was too high for our budget for a small hall bath remodel.Salesman was willing to work with us, but we need to think about this project and the price we are willing to pay.

Description of Work: Added a dormer to upstairs. Contractor worked with county to clarify work done previously (by another contractor.) Work was done a year ago and there have been no issues with work. Looks as if it was the original part of house

Description of Work: This review is based only on the estimate process, not on the actual work. We are replacing three doors. The company sent a perfectly fine sales guy who put together a good initial estimate. We wanted to do business with them. But the salesman never sent the promised follow up detailed estimate. I sent an email asking for the detailed estimate and making a counter-offer on the price. I did not receive a response. I called the salesman who said he thought he has sent the detailed estimate and that he had contacted the main office about our price offer. I never received the detailed estimate. No one from the company followed up with us (it has been about 3 weeks since the initial estimate). We went with a different company that was much more responsive. To be clear: they had an excellent product line, a decent price (though we thought it could be a bit better), and we liked the salesman's presentation. We would consider trying them again for other work, but the lack of responsiveness was puzzling and we went elsewhere because we need the work done soon.

Description of Work: The estimator came to the house twice to look at the job (we are looking for a contractor to build a deck and screened porch). He sent 3 drawings and a round number (+45,000) around the end of February 2014. It's April 7, 2014, and haven't from him again. Guess he's not getting the job..

Description of Work: Basement was flooded, they came in and made it like new.|

Description of Work: AES sent out a man to do an estimate on a basement remodel. They called ahead to say that their man would be late, which was very nice of them to keep me informed. Due to the time change, my wife met them instead. Their man was extremely perturbed to work with a woman and made several disparaging comments about how it would be a lot better if the man were home, as if my wife were somehow incapable of describing the job to him. She informed him that she was fully in-the-loop on the project and can walk him through everything we need. His response was a story about how he used to sell used cars, and he would set up a deal with the parents of a kid, and then the kid would show up at the last minute and cancel the whole deal because they didn't like the color of the car. So what, my wife's a little kid who can't see past the external colors of a project? At the end of this sexist-remark-filled encounter, she asked him to provide a written estimate. He jotted down a dollar amount on a piece of note paper, nothing official, and told her that he would send us a real estimate when we decided we're ready to move forward with this job. Unprofessional, and sexist. They might be great at renovations, but I'll never know. They sure aren't great at sales.

Description of Work: The sales rep was nice enough but when given the estimate and then the sales pirch that it could be discounted by 27% immediately turned me off. He stated that it was only good for two weeks because costs keep going up. This was an immeditate turn off. Truly reputable companies would stand by their price longer than 2 weeks. I told the sales rep that I was getting at least four opinions and that I would not make a decision until I had all the info I needed. I never undertake big projects and decide on a vendor by pressure tactics. I research and deliberate. There are excellent remodelers out there that do not pressure.

Description of Work: Too expensive, we chose another contractor.

Description of Work: We received a quote from them to install a bathroom & laundry room. Sales rep was wonderful. The quote was much higher than others we received.

Description of Work: It's very comforting to know that "honest" contractors are still in the business. I scheduled an appointment to get an estimate for minor renovations to my home. The estimator, David Hill, arrived on time and was extremely helpful. After surveying the all of the work, David advised me on a much better approach to get it done.

Description of Work: We had our kitchen remodeled completely from floor to ceiling. Ceramic tile flooring, granite counters, tile backsplash, double ovens, glass cook top, plenty cabinet/storage space. Beautiful Cherry Oak Cabinets and a beautiful double undermount kitchen sink with all the wonderful attachments. AES restructure our basement from a bland storage room to a beautiful Laundry Room and storage area. the laundry room has full size washer dryer. We needed a new sump pump to keep everything dry and mold free. They created a wonderful walk-in closet, plenty light and again storage space. The contractor was knowledgeable, courteous and dependable. Our family and friends have had some work done by AES, for example my Sister-in-law had her gutters replaced just is time for fall. She is very pleased she does not have to place buckets in her bedroom anymore! If you are looking to have some work done in you home, trust me try AES. Their motto is true, "If you're not happy we not done." Thanks for listening.

Description of Work: Asked for an estimate to correct floor issue in living room, dining room and kitchen. Also wanted to replace floor in 10X10 kitchen. Estimator never looked in crawl space to diagnose issue with loose floor. Gave estimate of $5000 to replace linolium floor in kitchen. Other estimates came in at around $1500.

Description of Work: What a joke of a company. Called for a price on a kitchen remodel. On the day of the appointment the guy calls 20 minutes before and says he can't make it because he has to install a window in his house before it rains. A week later Dave Hill comes out looking like a clown. Shirt says "we're not done if you're not happy" not only on just the shirt but hat and jacket as well. Takes a few measurements and says he will be back wth an estimate. Came back the following week and still has no drawing or design. Tells me "Joanna you are going to "LOVE IT" I still have not seen any drawings or plans. Hand-scribbles a 8 page contract to th tune of $126,000, approx. 1/3 the assed value of my home!!! and expects me to sign it. When I started asking how he came to that price he says "I SHOT FOR THE STARS and this is the price. I could not get him out of my house fast enough. Calls the next day and says "I GUESS THE PRICE WAS A LITTLE HIGH HUH!!! Never heard back from the salesman or the President.
