Working with Wendel Home Center has been a positive experience from start to finish. Billy Ritter and his staff are amazing, and his contractors are experts at their crafts. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the best, Wendel gets an eleven! I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Our home had a 13' x 21' screened room in the back when we purchased it eleven years ago, which we used all summer long but could not use in the fall, winter and early spring, so we wanted to take down the room and add a four-season sunroom to the back of the house, so that we could enjoy the space all year round. We did a lot of research before deciding to go with Wendel Home Center, and it is a decision that we are very happy we made! It is important to note, first of all, that my husband and I are very, very, very particular and pay attention to every single detail when doing a project, and we had pages and pages of notes and lots and lots of pictures of what we wanted before we ever met with anyone from Wendel. From the very first meeting with Billy Ritter, which was after numerous meetings with representatives from other sunroom companies, we felt confident that this was going to be the contractor for us. The sunroom displayed in the Wendel Home Center showroom was exactly what we were looking for -- beautiful in every way, solidly built, no visible hardware, just to name a few of the details we liked. When we sat down with Mr. Ritter to go over the details of what we were looking for, we gave him a copy of our notes and photos, and he took the time to go over everything with us and told us he would get back to us with a price, which he did shortly thereafter, and which was the best price we had gotten up to that point. Every other contractor came in over $40,000 despite the fact that we would tell them we didn't want to spend over $40,000, and then when we told them "no thanks" they would turn around and lower the price. Mr. Ritter did not do that. He came in at a fair price from the beginning, and the price was actually lowered when we decided to make the sunroom smaller to comply with our town code. Every single detail was addressed -- and when we added a few things along the way, it was never a problem and always priced fairly. Mr. Ritter has the patience of a saint, and there was never, ever any pressure from Wendel to sign with them. When we finally signed on the dotted line, it was with a feeling of confidence that we were going to get the job we were hoping for. The Wendel contractors who worked on our sunroom were amazing in every way too -- professional, experts at their craft, neat, punctual, friendly. They removed the old room, repaired our home so perfectly we can't even tell where the old room used to be, poured a concrete slab and foundation, built a beautiful sunroom with a solid base wall that is cedar shingled on the outside and sheetrocked with exquisite molding on the inside, installed the fan and AC/heater and electrical outlets and lights inside and out, laid a beautiful brick floor, and, in short, built us a sunroom that is even more beautiful than we imagined it would be! They did a wonderful job, and I cannot say enough good things about Wendel Home Center.
