Get matched with top window pros in Excelsior Springs, MO

"On August 5, 2014, I posted a glowing review for Ben Hansen and Claymark Homes. I thought they had done a good job on our window project. In March this year I contracted them to repair damage done to the ceiling in my family room and to my half bath when I had the plumbing replaced in my house. The work was a disaster from the beginning. I removed everything from the room with the exception of an Oriental rug, a leather sofa and chair and a TV cabinet. I asked if those things needed to be removed and was assured they did not and that they would cover everything with plastic. I left the house to run an errand; and when I returned, I discovered wet plaster on my UNCOVERED furniture and rug and dust everywhere. While I knew there would be dust, they made no attempt to reduce the mess. Ben and his crew supervisor promised to be present for the project, but they were nowhere to be found for most of it. After the project was done, I began to see examples of shoddy workmanship. They chipped a corner off the crown molding, and there was a half-inch gap between the wall and the molding. They had HAMMERED the molding back up, denting it. Paint was slopped on the molding. They did not adequately sand the walls before repainting, and the surface was very noticeably uneven. After complaining, I was assured that it would all be taken care of. I was also told he wasn’t so sure that the damage to the molding wasn’t pre-existing (so I was basically accused of lying—I have photo evidence the damage was done by his crew). Ben came once to “fix” the crown molding (which was to slap on filler and stain) for the dents and to reposition the molding. Then I discovered there was a giant half-inch blob of filler at one end of the molding which looks awful (see attached). Ben was to come back to complete the work. Months later and more excuses than I can count, I gave up and did the work myself, knowing full well his work would not be satisfactory. He threatened to share my “comments” with his staff as if I care. I have never encountered such a home improvement disaster and highly suggest you find other options if you’re considering Claymark Homes for your project. This guy has a big chip on his shoulder and is his own worst enemy."

"Brandon and his crew were fantastic to work with. We trusted having them in our home and have referred them to other family and friends who are also using them."

"Ann and I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben Meyer from Star Energy Consultants, and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Ben conducted a comprehensive assessment of our home, covering everything from insulation, air sealing, attic, ceiling fan, windows, doors, heating and air conditioning, duct sealing, to our lighting. His attention to detail and thoroughness were truly impressive. Ben's knowledge and expertise in energy conservation and efficiency were immediately evident. After the assessment, he took the time to explain his findings and provided us with a range of practical recommendations on how to save energy and reduce our utility costs. What truly set Ben apart was his ability to connect us with skilled professionals who could carry out the necessary work. This made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Not only did Ben Meyer identify areas where we could improve our energy efficiency, but he also helped us find trusted contractors to carry out the recommended upgrades. As a result of his guidance, we've already noticed a reduction in our electric bill, and I believe we're well on our way to a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective home. Ben's professionalism, friendly demeanor, and dedication to his work made the experience enjoyable. He genuinely cares about his clients and their well-being. Thanks to his expertise and recommendations, we feel like we've saved a substantial amount of money, both in getting reliable contractors and with energy savings in the long run. I wholeheartedly recommend Ben Meyer and Star Energy Consultants to anyone looking to improve their home's energy efficiency. If you want to save money while making your home more environmentally friendly, Ben is the person to call. Thank you, Ben, for your outstanding service and for helping us make our home more energy-efficient and comfortable."

"👎🏼took months to get the project (roof and siding) completed. There were no managers on site. They didn’t put Tyvek on and had to tear siding off of one side to re-do. The tarps they used were old and full of holes. They did not clean up debris, nails, screws, cigarette butts, razor blades. They charged us for items they did not do. When we complained to management they apologized and promised to be there the next day— and never would follow through. The sales rep changed the contract after we signed it. It took us, senior citizens, hours to clean up after them. We paid most of the money holding back some money to dispute the billing. And now we are getting threatened to put a lien on our property. I would not ever recommend this company to anyone. Zero stars. The Emerson project manager apologized saying this job did go bad and it usually didn’t go so bad. I’m disputing the bill, and they don’t care. I’m not paying for something they failed to do. Poor business 👎🏼"

"Our experience with Ryan and his crew on residing our home could not have been better. From the very first contact with Ryan to arrange an on-site meeting for him to develop an estimate, all the way through to the final "walk through" the day after completion of the project, the communication from Ryan was excellent. Every email/text I sent to Ryan was responded to usually within 30 minutes or less, and PROACTIVE communication from Ryan on project details was outstanding. So from a customer service standpoint, we couldn't have been more pleased. Then the work itself by his crew was also excellent. They actually started my project EARLIER then they thought they could get to it, and finished it in the three days that was estimated from the start. The work area was cleaned up each day and upon completion. And most importantly, the quality of the work and attention to detail was outstanding. Everything was done exactly as agreed, including all the caulking. Which is crucial to a quality siding job, but so easy to "accidentally" skip/forget. Absolutely A+ work and customer service from start to finish. I'd highly recommend Ryan and his team to anyone."
