We got a nearly 10 x 24 deck cover to protect the wooden deck and get some shade in the summer and snow protection in the winter. Pricing is competitive and service is fantastic! Very professional and friendly. Came just in time for the winter and holidays. It looks lovely with lights and we deal with a lot less snow removal on the deck. I can't wait for the summer! Satisfied customer. I'll load some pictures later.

Merit installed patio covers at both my old and new houses. I could not be happier with them. I highly recommend them for the quality of their work and materials and for their integrity.

I called to speak with some one regarding an estimate for an aluminum awning replacement on my mothers home. The phone was tersely answered "Merit". I said good morning and asked how his morning was going. He simply ignored my attempt to be cordial, did not ask how I was doing and stated "How can I help you?". Not a big deal for most people, I suppose, but I got the distinct impression I was a bother to him. When you are searching for a company to come to your home, particularly in a very competitive industry like home improvement, first impressions mean a lot. I answered "Nothing you can do for me today" and ended the call. Next.

Response from Merit Home Improvements
Mr [Member Name Removed], It has always been our company's policy to answer our phones and greet customers and clients with our company's name. Regretfully our telephone services can be a bit spotty and sometimes will take a few seconds to register. In general we like to answer the phone "Good morning/afternoon/evening Merit" As for the question "How can I help you?" We aren't sure why that caused an immediate issue. You will find the same question asked among much of the service industry and until right now, we have never heard a complaint about it. As for a 'terse' sales person trying to address the nature of your phone call, I can almost guarantee that 'what we have here is a failure to communicate!' Please let me explain. We average approximately 15 solicitations per day in the office and most of the time, they greet us on the phone much like you and other customers do. "Hey how are you doing today" and even now with all of the information available on the Internet they will even ask for us by name. Just today I answered the phone to a telemarketer saying "Hey is this Richard? How have you been man? I heard you weren't feeling well last month." I assumed then that it may have been a previous customer or one of the manufactures we regularly work with but sure enough it turned out to be someone else trying to sell us credit card processing. While I can't tell you that this was the exact reason for what seems to be unprofessional on our part, I am trying to explain the sometimes 'hidden' nature of our business. This isn't an excuse because we don't really believe in excuses here at Merit. And though I am certain that you genuinely felt our first impression was unsatisfactory, I can assure you that as a customer who lives in the same Miami Valley as all of our salesmen and contractors, we meant no disrespect towards you in any way whatsoever. We hope that you might reconsider us again in the future and we do apologize for any possible misconception that your business wasn't important to us.

Kevin was very detail oriented in his approach. He made several trips to our house for consultations and to demonstrate the available products. He made many suggestions that improved the overall appearance of our home. He was thorough and patient and always followed up with us. His pricing was many, many thousands of dollars less than Pella and Gilkey. The window installation in our house was particularly tricky since we had plantation shutters in nearly every window. These were custom made shutters for each opening. This required very careful measuring for correct fitment of the new windows and very careful removal and reinstallation. I'm happy to say that the gentlemen from Merit nailed it!! The shutters came out, new windows went in, and the shutters were all reinstalled without a hitch. If you're looking for honest, quality work at an affordable price you should contact Kevin Tatman at Merit Construction. You won't be sorry.
Description of Work: Removed all windows in house and replaced with 21 new Alside Premium Mezzo slider windows.

After heavy damage to our roof as a result of a hailstorm in May 2011, we had to undergo the painstaking process of obtaining quotes from several roofing specialists. During this time, many unsolicited, out-of-town companies with hard-to-believe promises also came to our door to compete for our business. It was apparent that many of these companies could not be trusted especially if a possible warranty situation should arise in the future. However, it was Merit Construction who had won over our trust and confidence from the start. Their personalized service, fair pricing, and professionalism convinced us that they were the right choice for such a sizable and challenging job. They spent a lot of time explaining the details of the job and helped us work through the myriad of shingle and gutter brands, grades, and colors. They also went out of their way to directly communicate with our insurance company which made the entire claim and reimbursement process seamless for us. Because our home is a contemporary design with unusual roof lines and pitches, the job itself was very complex. However, the installation was completed quickly, thoroughly, and with little disruption to our daily routine. Most importantly, the quality of the work far exceeded our expectations. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the service Merit provided and will always recommend them for home improvement needs.
Description of Work: Replaced old roofing, gutters and trim.

Response from Merit Home Improvements
Thanks for the review Mr. [Member Name Removed]. Unfortunately the brand of retractable awnings that we sell are the 'Cadillac' equivalents of their competitors. Since retractable awnings are more of a luxurious commodity, we refuse to sell any product that is inferior because they are a repairs and service persons nightmare when they don't work right. We actually brought the retractable idea to the Miami Valley years ago and since then there have been many many different brands that we have seen come and go. We have sold the same brand for over twenty five years simply because we haven't found one better yet. Ultimately we're happy that you're satisfied with your awning and we hope that you contact us any time in the future for more of your home improvement needs. Thanks again
