"Dear [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your feedback regarding the basement egress window we installed in your home in September 2014. I am proud that you noticed our attention to detail and high quality in our workmanship. Thank you for giving our company an A rating in Professionalism, Responsiveness & Quality. In response to a lowered rating in punctuality, I can speak to delivery and ordering issues we were experiencing at the manufacturing level in September 2014. As mentioned in another Angie’s list review response that was installed a week from yours, our company was going through stressful times. The vendor issues from September of 2014 motivated me to develop a relationship with a new local vendor who agreed to keep the windows in stock. This change has streamlined the ordering process and made a difference in our business. We now have what we need, when we need it. I am glad the vendor issue has been resolved. Since the change was implemented after your window installation, I want to personally apologize for any inconvenience you had experienced as a result. Please know that we have addressed the issue and that we appreciate this valued feedback! We are a small business always hoping to improve in every way that we can. I hope you are enjoying the added benefits of your basement egress window: the additional natural light, warmth, improved air quality and most of all, the peace of mind knowing you have provided an escape route for your loved ones in the event of an emergency. Respectfully, Michael J. Hancock, Owner"
"Dear [Member Name Removed], Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am glad that you were 85%-90% satisfied and that you would recommend us to a friend. I sincerely apologize that you experienced delays during your installation. I wanted to respond to the window ordering/delivery issue. At the time your basement egress windows were being installed, our company was experiencing delivery issues at the manufacturer level. When windows were not being delivered to my local vendor on time, it delayed my installations. It was frustrating and stressful! As a result, I created a strong relationship with a new local vendor that was willing to keep the egress windows in stock for me. I am happy to report that this change in business practices has completely resolved this issue. [Member Name Removed], thanks again for your feedback! It is feedback like yours that helps us stay committed to providing the best service to our customers. Respectfully, Michael J. Hancock, Owner Foundation Builders LLC"
They added an egress window in our basement, so we could put another bedroom in.
Another company was more expensive, and told me that there wasn't enough clearance from the underground lines to dig where we wanted to. Michael was confident that we could put it in that space, which really saved our basement design.
Overall, it took two days to complete, the quality was excellent. Michael digs down to the drainage system for the house to make sure you minimize chances of water getting in. For the window well, Michael uses a 1-piece egress that looks like rock and is one piece. It's a nice looking window from the inside. He didn't leave a mess behind and didn't tear up our lawn with his gear.
My only complaint is admittedly a minor one. When they put the window in, they forgot to leave the screen. It took a few phone calls and a couple of weeks to get Michael back out here to drop off the screen. He did though, and everything is fine now. The situation bugged my type-A personality a bit, but it's not something that would stop me from using him again.
"Dear [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your very kind and detailed review of the basement egress window that we installed for you. It is nice to hear reviews from our customers that we have delivered quality work in a timely manner as promised. We respect your time and property and pride ourselves in NOT leaving a mess when we leave- not inside your basement and not on your lawn. It makes me happy that you noticed and appreciated this important detail of our completed work. I am sorry that I did not leave the screen at the completion of your installation and for taking so long to bring it to you. I know at times, we are rushing forward to the next job. As a small business owner with a growing business, it is important to be reminded that every detail, no matter how small, must be given priority. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused. Thanks for posting photos of the finished result of our hard work. I hope you are enjoying the added benefits of natural light, improved air quality and safety that your egress window provides to your basement living space. Respectfully, Michael J. Hancock, Owner Foundation Builders LLC"
