I contracted Kingsford to replace the windows in my house. The project was broken into 2 phases. The first phase went wonderfully - the team seemed to do a great job and the new windows worked for my needs. The second phase was full of problems. The wrong materials were delivered, the window flashing is horrible, the wrong color caulk was used. The team had to come back a second time because we found nails and trash left behind, as well as we noticed nails in windows still and windows that were installed in a very haphazard manner (Sloppy caulk work, nothing clean). All of this was corrected and I thought to myself "we can move past this - we have no windows and can make it work". Then about the weather rolled in and suddenly I have a water damage in my kitchen. I never even assumed it could be the windows (There is one window in the room above the kitchen, but it never came into my mind that the window could be the issue because it was new). I brought my normal home contractor out and they looked at it. Turns out the window wasn't sealed. Zero caulk along the bottom of the window. To make this entire scenario worse, as I found myself loosing faith in Kingsford - I asked my contractor to check the windows to see how Kingsford did on the rest of the windows. He found that the window drip plates were not replaced, and were rotten in a few places (Kingsford never even mentioned that to me). And that a few other windows had some issues. I had my contractor that I trust correct the issues since I didn't want to be exposed to the weather. I then called Kingsford and asked to speak to the owner. The owner is a soft spoken and reasonable person, however he had absolutely zero value to add to my plight. He said "You should have stopped work repairing the damage and called Kingsford - we would have come and examined things". My reply stating that I had lost faith in that company as well as the fact that I didn't want to leave my house exposed to elements seemed to fall on deaf ears". He then made me a bit more angry by saying "Out of his good will, he would send someone out to look at the windows". He completely missed the point that 1) It is not good will, it is however, the warranty of the windows - and is part of his job and 2) I've lost complete faith in Kingsford to actually do there job correctly. We've had them out 3x to look at things that were not done correctly. Bottom line - I will never use this company again - and bluntly - I'd advise you to stay away from them. They sub-contract out all of there installs - so there is zero quality assurance and nobody checks anything. If you have any issue and need to repair it - they are slow to respond and if you correct it on your own - to protect your house and investment, they will pawn you off and say that you should have called them first. I will never use this company again and recommend that you all stay far away from them. I now have to repair water damage in my kitchen because of there horrible work.

It went great! The work was performed on a house in which my 74 year old mother lives. The workmen did a fantastic job. She raves about how professional and friendly they were. The siding and the windows look absolutely fantastic. Dealing with Kingsford was an absolute pleasure. When I have the windows in my personal home replaced, there is only one company I plan to call to do the work - Kingsford.

Tripp Herndon came out to our property on Saturday, June 23rd to look at some storm damage for a recent hail storm. He then promised an estimate on Monday, June 25th that we could send our insurance adjuster. By Wednesday we had not heard anything so I followed up with an email to see when he'll be able to get an estimate to us. He said he had been busy all week but would get it to us. Thursday he sends me an email saying that they could not take on anymore "storm damage" work right now but maybe in the Fall. Poor customer service and a 100% waste of my time. Do not use this company if they treat you like this in the beginning can you imagine through out the process how bad they will be.

The quality of the product is great. They sell a top quality window and it's the only window that they sell. They are the top vinyl windows in our area. Also, their window installer is fantastic; he's been doing it for decades. We were very pleased with him and he took time and made sure that he took out all the rotting wood and replaced it with new wood before he actually installed the window. We were really happy with that as well. They were punctual and we would continue to use them.
Description of Work: They just installed four vinyl windows for us; a picture window, two double hung windows, and a half-round window.

We have used Kingsford for siding and window projects in the past, and always been pleased with the results. And, I might add, it is pretty tough not to like the lifetime warranty on their windows! They added windows to our latest project, a sun room addition, and they were one of the main reasons the project was winner of the 2014 Wake County Remodelers Council STAR Awards for best sun room!

Highly recommend Kingsford Siding, Windows & Patio Room This is our second experience with Kingsford. In 2002 they installed aluminum windows in our home and did excellent work! So when we decided in 2014 to change our deck to a 16 x 16 Sunroom, we did not hesitate to call and spoke with Tripp Herndon. Kevin Jones, (the owner) and Tripp gave us a clear estimate/invoice given in writing prior to work and completion of job. They provided excellent communication throughout and the price was more than reasonable given the end results. We could not be happier because to sit and be surrounded by God's beauty is such a relaxing feeling. We are very pleased with the quality of material used and workmanship of the installation. They were professional and personal and hard working. I would highly recommend to anyone that need professional work done, call the BEST! Kingsford Siding, Windows & Patio Room.... Sincerely, Margaret Chavis Durham, NC
Description of Work: Excellent work and service!!!!

I had three estimates. All three were close enough that price was not a factor. After lots of research I concluded that the Soft Lite LG from Kingsford was a superior product and well worth the price. The process from beginning to end was excellent.

The quality of the windows that we got was excellent. A couple of times we had a problem with one of the windows and they were very prompt in providing a service for that. They are very responsive. They do this vinyl wrap around the molding of the windows on the outside. They were able to come close to matching the color of our interior trim. Most of the companies have standard surrounds, but Kingsford had three different ones. We needed the maple and white and mahogany. They were the only ones that had the mahogany. They were recommended to us by three friends who had had Kingsford do their windows. They were cheaper than anybody else and they did a great job. The price was reasonable for the quality.

The service personnel showed up on time and were professional. The job was completed on time; one week. there was no damage to the house or grounds.I damaged the garage trim two weeks after they left and called them. They repaired the trim two days later at no charge. the house vinyl and trim are warranted forever and is transferrable to the new owners. so what can I complain about? nothing!! excellent job.

Everything they have done for me they have had to come back to fix. The siding has slipped off, they have had to come back to fix, on the side of the house. The owner was supposed to meet with me and the manufacturer at my home on August 6, 2012 about 2 different color pieces.* He had no intentions of doing so. I asked for my money back, and the owner stated nonrefundable or cash back policy. *The company is not what they said they were. They are very unprofessional. I would not recommend them.

Response from Kingsford Siding, Windows & Patio Rooms
Warranties All of our customers are provided with two warranties, the manufacture’s warranty and the Kingsford workmanship warranty. Kingsford does not offer a refund on products or services provided. Our observations throughout our interaction with the Member, she has shared with us the other following complaints with other companies and or people she has associated with. 1. Home Depot – She complained about the service and pricing and quality of the doors that she ordered through them that we installed for her 2. She shared with us that the electricians that she used on her home had to come out several times to perform work on the same issue several times, it was only when she complained to the manager that the issues got resolved. 3. Vet – She shared complaints regarding the people who were bathing and boarding her dog about the cost and care that her dog was received and was moving somewhere else. 4. Trip to Vegas – She expressed that she was dissatisfied with accommodations that she received at the hotel she stayed at until she received a voucher from the manager for a free room at her next visit as a result of her complaints. 5. Doctor Care – She shared with us that her doctor could never see her at the times she needed and their inability to provide the care she felt she needed.
As with any construction process it was stressful at times. However Kevin and his entire staff were quick to help and answer any questions or concerns we had along the way. They couldn't have been more supportive. Sometimes I think I may have bothered them too much but their prompt responses and pleasant demeaners assured me I had nothing to worry about. Overall the whole process was professional work with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. We had the best so I wouldn't bother with the rest. So should you.
Description of Work: Kingsford Vinyl Siding and Windows did alot of work around our home. we had them install 2 new windows where there were no windows to let the sunlight in and it does. They intalled new gutters around our home. We also had new vinyl porch railings installed. The new railings give the front of our house such character. They make the front of our home "pop" from the rest of the neighborhood. But best of all, Kingsford replaced a screen porch with a new sunroom on the back of our home. All that glass allows sunlight as well as moonlight to enter the new room. They removed an inner wall so even more light coming through the new room could make it into the main living area. No more cleaning pollen off the patio furniture. The sunroom is gorgeous and is now the favorite room in the house. We can now enjoy the new new room yearound. Everyone who has seen it loves it and are now thinking about getting rid of their porches and replacing them with a new room provided by Kingsford. We highly recommend them.

Initially it was terrible. The salesperson was a moron and kept changing the price - varying $1000. He also said that he would kick my dog if it tried to bite him. Finally I called to tell the owner why I wasn't going to use their company and then he took care of it and it went very well. If I had only had the 2nd part of the experience I would have given them an A on everything, but because of the ordeal at first, I'm giving them C's

They were good and stood behind their work. They did a good job. I had some issue with the board in the back and they came right out and replaced it. My interaction with them went fine. They forgot to do one thing on the back that I had wanted. So when I called them about this, they sent somebody right out to do it. They fellows that installed it couldn?t get it to work, because it had an electronic motor. They came with another man, who was more skilled in it the next morning, and they fixed it. They called back to check. I got a very fair price and got excellent service.

They were perfectly fine, but I ultimately decided to go with another company. They were very responsive to my questions. They presented their product well - I think they have a good product. Their price was a little higher though. I would use them again in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: I got Kingsford Vinyl Siding & Windows to give me an estimate for replacement of 18 windows. It included the purchase and installation of the windows as well.
Overall, it was a reasonably good experience. Had it not been for the window mix-up, I would have rated it as excellent.
Description of Work: Kingsford built a 12X16 addition on the back of our house. Several pictures are included. Good stuff: The quality of construction is excellent. It has 18 windows and a outside sliding door that qualify for rebates ($1500). All work except the tile floor, which I did myself, was completed by Kingsford. The workers were polite and friendly and did excellent work. They kept messes to a minimum. The structure is first rate. In addition, they did an excellent job of completely installing our HVAC unit,which I didn't buy from them. They could have "gotten by" by just leaving a hole for it in the outside wall. A few problems: The unit was shipped with the wrong windows. Had I not retrieved some of the window stickers that said "U-factor=.48" I might have never known that I had the wrong windows. After some calls to Kingsford, the message finally got to the right person, and the factory, Thermal Industries, was contacted. The factory rep immediately called me and apologized for the mix-up, and 5-6 weeks later, a truck arrived from Charlotte with new windows and a sliding door, all of which met energy star standards. The installers made the change in a day. The factory rep told me it was his fault. We think, however, Kingsford should re-think it's check-in procedure to avoid this in the future. Kingsford contracts with G. W May Electric for all the electric work. They are licensed, do decent work, and are very expensive. We had some extra work done not included in the Kingsford contract. The outside light, for example, cost me $425, and a few extra outlets were $150 each. They incorrectly installed a TV cable outlet which had to be redone by Time Warner. See the separate report for them. In fairness, I didn't ask about their prices before they started doing the extras. Finally, after we discovered the problem with the windows, we expected a call from Kingsford management to apologize. It never came. We think Kingsford needs to improve it's PR, as we felt deserted after the mix-up with the windows.

Description of Work: We have had this company do a variety of services for us including roofing, vinyl siding, gutterguards and windows. We recently (several years after installation) had a slight roof leak which resulted in some ceiling damage. They came out and repaired the damage, showing excellent responsiveness.
