Our goal is to provide the homeowner with peace of mind by offering professional exterior home improvements using the highest quality products, award winning service and lowest possible prices with a strong commitment to complete customer satisfaction.
The process went very smoothly. They removed the old windows and took them away. Installing the windows took only a day, and Dave came back to finish the wrapping. The windows look great and they have made a difference in my electric and gas bills for heating and air conditioning. I got 4 estimates and Daves came in the lowest. I would and will probably hire them again.
Description of Work: I had 3 windows replaced in an upper level of a 1 1/2 story home and one window on first level. I had vinyl windows put in. I worked with Dave for the project and he was polite, professional and seemed to know alot about windows.

George came out and measured the windows and made some great suggestions on what windows would look good in our living room and kitchen. A couple weeks later the installer came and installed the windows. One window was incorrect so we had to wait a couple more weeks for them to order another. The wrapping was unacceptable on all windows and Dave agreed and promptly had them redone. We are very happy w/the windows and thought Dave and George were extremely responsive to any problems or concerns we had.
Description of Work: They put in 6 new windows and re-wrapped them.

Received several bids and reduced to 2 groups - weighed the pros and cons and went with George. Measuring was completed by George and windows ordered. 2 Staff were involved in the tear out and installment. An error was made in the order for two windows, they took immediate responsibility and corrected this to our satisfaction.
Description of Work: Very pleased with the entire experience. Professional, meticulous and more than courteous. Would strongly recommend this group for window and other exterior enhancements. Thanks George and Staff.

Our home has distinctive arches at the roofline. We wanted those wrapped (in character with the other fascia on the house). Contractor stated during the sales call that he would not be able to custom-form and metal-wrap those pre-existing arches. He was also most interested in quoting on vinyl siding, although willing to quote on metal siding as well. When the bid arrived, it had a 2-year warranty on labor.

Response from Exterior Enhancements Inc
EVERY PROJECT THAT EXTERIOR ENHANCEMENTS DOES IS CUSTOM. OUR SIDING CREW HAS BEEN WITH US FOR 8 YEARS AND DOES THE BEST METAL BENDING WORK THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN 15 YEARS IN THIS BUSINESS. CONSEQUENTLY, IT WAS NOT THE DIFFICULTY OF WRAPPING THE ARCHES THAT PROMPTED US TO SUGGEST PAINTING INSTEAD OF COVERING THEM WITH ALUMINUM. BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE, WE DID NOT FEEL THAT THE HOMEOWNER WOULD BE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. OUR CUSTOMERS ARE OUR BOSSES. IF THIS HOMEOWNER HAD INSISTED ON AN ARCH WRAPPING QUOTE, WE WOULD HAVE PROVIDED ONE. WE WERE ASKED WHAT SIDING PRODUCT WE WOULD RECOMMEND. BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THIS HOME, WE SUGGESTED A VINYL SIDING WITH AN INSULATING BACKER. WITH ENERGY COSTS RISING THE WAY THEY ARE, WE STILL THINK IT WOULD BE THE WISE DECISION TO INSTALL THE VINYL SIDING THAT WE QUOTED. WE FEEL, THAT THIS WINTER, THEY WILL BE SORRY THAT THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO US. IN ANY EVENT, WE QUOTED STEEL SIDING AS ASKED ANYWAY. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS OUR TOP PRIORITY. THE PRODUCTS THAT WE SUGGEST TO OUR CUSTOMERS (THEY ARE ONLY SUGGESTIONS) REPRESENT THE BEST VALUE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE. WE DO NOT PUSH PEOPLE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. AS WE SAID, THEY ARE THE BOSS. WE ARE SORRY THAT THIS HOMEOWNER DID NOT SEE THAT WE ONLY HAD THEIR BEST INTEREST AT HEART.

Contractor's roofing estimator arrived unexpectedly on a weekend, knowing the street, but not the specific address he was to come to. He knew the character of the roof he was looking for, though, and since there were only two like it on the block, managed to locate our house by process of elimination. (The estimator was relieved to know we were acquainted with contractor. We think he was competent enough as far as the estimation went.)
Description of Work: Contractor was not selected for job, but did come for a sales call and submitted a bid. His roofing estimator was separately sent to evaluate and "measure" roof. Labor on the bid was warranted for 2 years only. Other potential contractors had longer labor warranties.

When he would describe things he would talk down to you. Does not have good manners kept bringing up and wanting to know more on a family death. Not very sensitive there.
Description of Work: Did not hire to do work. He gave a 10 day notice if I wanted to be able to use the discount he offers Angie's list members. Needed more time to get other estimates from other company's before I would decide on who. He seemed to much in a hurry to get the job.

OUR COMPANY ALWAYS INFORMS OUR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS THAT THE 10 DAY DISCOUNT PERIOD CAN BE EXTENDED, IF THEY HAVE A GOOD REASON. ALL THE HOMEOWNER WOULD HAVE HAD TO DO IS CALL US REQUESTING MORE TIME, AS SHE WAS TOLD. WE ARE SORRY THAT SHE FELT THAT SHE WAS BEING TALKED DOWN TO. IN THE THOUSANDS OF QUOTES THAT OUR COMPANY HAS PROVIDED, WE HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE. IT IS ONE OF OUR GOALS TO EDUCATE OUR CUSTOMERS, SO THAT THEY MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION. WE ASK THAT THE HOMEOWNER FORGIVES US FOR ANY INAPPROPRIATE DISCUSSION ABOUT THEIR FAMILY MEMBER'S PASSING. IT WAS NEVER OUR INTENTION TO BE INSENSITIVE. WE CARE.

Overall it went well and they did a good job. We ran into some hitches that they did not catch that ended up costing more money and taking more time, but I believe they handled it well. Some HVAC piping had to be rerouted, but they split the cost with us.
Description of Work: They took out an existing window and installed a larger one. Involved some tearing down and putting up of some new siding and drywall. They also replaced some corner boards that squirrels had chewed up.

Our siding was damaged from one of the past storms. We had aluminum siding that was 15 years old and a color match and quality match could not be found so we decided to switch to vinyl. George Fitzenberger discussed our options and gave us his recommendations for a quality product that would have a long endurance. The work was started in the spring when weather was still a factor. Once everything got started, the work progressed well. A few of our screens were torn during the tear off of the old siding because of the sharp edges of the aluminum. The screens were replaced by the time the work was complete. There was careful attention to detail and the head of the crew was an experienced professional with years of experience for the company. This is the third job I have had done by this company and they have consistently earned an A rating.

It went great. George came over and helped us decide on what to do since we had some quirky windows that were not standard. He recommended combining two windows into one large window to save money (and it improved the appearance too). His workers were on time, cleaned up when they left. The only thing I wish we had done differently is to have all the windows be new construction. The replacement windows (while they look great) are a bit smaller and when you have windows that seem small.
Description of Work: We had Exterior Enhancements replace 8 windows with Simonton windows. They wrapped the outsides with aluminum matched the interior woodwork perfectly. They even added new crown molding so that the entire house matched (it is a 1920s bungalow).

Great from start to finish. George, one of the owners, made the sales call painless and informative. Both he and the installer were friendly, professional, and down to earth, a real breath of fresh air compared to the high pressure sales of some other companies. The project grew a little from estimate to final, but always with full disclosure and full consent. Even with that they went over and above, dealing with many of the small unexpected things that always come up in a renovation project without tacking on to the bill. Quality and features of their window vendor (VISTA) are great; all the bells and whistles without the price tag. Finding Exterior Enhancements is why I subscribe to Angie's List.
Description of Work: 1950's/60's Typical Richfield Home: Replaced 16 double hung windows and 5 basement tilt out windows with replacement style, dual pane, argon filled vinyl windows; bath windows opaqued glass; wrapped aluminum exterior trim. Some reframing in windows due to poor DIY in the past.

This is such a great company to work with! Exterior Enhancements is in the process of replacing all of our windows but I called them for two more jobs due to some hail and wind damage last summer. This job was for roof replacement and George came out to explain what products he recommended. He also brought out the siding samples so I could pick the color I wanted and make sure it would work well with the new roof. As soon as weather permitted the crew came out exactly when they said they would. They worked two long days and completed the project. The roof looks amazing. The crew was courteous and professional. In the last couple of years I have had sprinklers put in and sod laid and I had another contractor look at the roof. In two of these cases I had very bad experiences with the contractors not keeping their word (or not being properly licensed and treating me rudely because I asked for the information). For old fashioned service and quality work, call this company!

We obtained bids from 3 siding companies, both vinyl and steel. We selected Exterior Enhancements based on the quality of the products offered, color/style choices, rep's knowledge of the product and that the rep (George) was very nice to work with. George provided the bid when he promised and answered all of our questions. (Some of the other companies we looked at didn't follow through and didn't even come back to pick up their sample books. We figured they didn't need the business!) There was a slight delay in starting the project due to a previous job, but once they got rolling, they still finished on time. The crew worked diligently every day and kept the yard clean. Dave was on-site several times inspecting all that was going on and making sure we were happy. On the last day, they walked through everything with us and put back all the fixtures. They even came back months later to tidy up a few items we couldn't finalize in the Winter weather.

The whole project went smooth from start to finish. George, the owner, came on time and gave me an estimate, which was in line or less than other estimates I had received. Two of the windows were in a bedroom, and because of the St. Paul building code, could not be fitted with replacement windows and needed the new construction windows (for egress). A second appointment was made with someone to measure, he also showed up on time. And the installation went very well---the trim around the bedroom windows had to be replaced, and it matches the trim in the rest of the house, very nice. I had done a lot of research, and the windows installed were from Simonton, which has a very good reputation for quality for the price. I am very satisfied with the windows and the installation, and will have this firm replace the rest of my windows, hopefully next year.

I accepted the set back without blaming anyone. However I would think that the manufacture would have some sort of quality controls in place to prevent these things. Arrangements to do at certain times were never kept. One day Dave made arrangements to arrive and start work "mid-morning, definitely before noon." Showed up at 2:15, no call to say he wouldn't be arriving on time. Next day was to show up at 8:00, he showed up at 9:45, worker showed up at 10:15. Contractor stated that clean up would be done each day at the end of work, never done. The first day of tear off, worker hauled all old siding from back yard through garage and piled on side of house. Worker hauled all old siding from front of house, across driveway and piled on side of house. Garage and driveway were never swept. Both days of tear off I had to go out and sweep the area. I was told that after they "clean up" we would have to be careful of the stray screws, nails. I swept up dozens from the drive and garage.
Description of Work: I contracted with them to replace windows in my home, install new entry and storm door and replace siding on the whole house. Bay window arrived smashed.
