The experience went fine. He was professional and came prepared to give me different options. I was a little concerned, because I only wanted the basics, since we were selling the house. In the end, he did just what I wanted and didn't try to push a deal.

The job they did was good. The response time was not long and they honored the estimate they gave too. I was not on-site for the work, but I think the time they spent was appropriate and I was happy with the end result.

We Care Free Estimates.com gave me an estimate and that was the final price. They did a good job of installing the door and cleaned up after themselves. They were prompt and very professional. We had a minor problem with the door after it was installed and they came right out and corrected the problem. I would use them again in the future.

I did not give this company the job to replace my windows based on their higher costs and lack of a professionally prepared, formal estimate.
Description of Work: I elected not to go with the We Care Free Estimates Company despite the high ratings on Angie’s List. Mr. Weigold came out to our condo and surveyed the windows using a digital video camera, digital still camera and a digital recording device to record the measurements. I was reminded of the movie character Mr. Gadget. He walked around the unit giving a narrative on the video and describing the job. I expected a thorough presentation based on what he did but that was not the case. I had to contact him to ask about the status of the estimate. When I did receive the estimate, I felt that it was not prepared in a professional manner and was not presented in the standard business formats I have received other estimates. There was no specific identification of the manufacturer of the windows he was going to install. No delineation of measurements for each window or identification of the product name, manufacturer or composition of the window to be installed. I was very disappointed in the presentation of the estimate. The price was not included in the estimate but in an email accompanying the estimate. Without specifics contained in the estimate, I was concerned that the company was not providing me with a description of the product they were going to install and that makes me worry about the potential for a bait and switch. I feel you should include specifics of the manufacturer, product name, style and cost for each window to be installed. I felt the presentation lacked professionalism and detail. I chose not to use this company because of the lack of specificity in the estimate and that the cost was 1200 dollars more than another company that provided specific details in their estimate.

Response from We Care Free Estimates.com Inc
In response to this report dated April 18, 2009, for a free estimate. I feel it is necessary to dispute this disingenuous report that reflects negatively on services that were free and not paid for. I take great exception to this negative report especially regarding being described as a movie character. We Care has been using videotaping effectively for the past 15 years to be able to provide the information not only to prepare an accurate estimate for the potential customer but also to provide a permanent record of what we promise to limit liability, and to inform our co-workers of the complexity of the job. Working men are visual, and this enables us to provide a higher level of service. Also these tools that I use, both a digital and video camera allows me to inform others in my company of the complexities of the project to be costed up. We offer a free proposal. If a proposal is accepted, a complete and detailed contract is drafted with all specifications. Every project is assessed considering aggravation, liability, and our ability to perform professionally. The unit owner of the condo association had requirements for color coordination, a difficult location for staging and application, in center city Philadelphia and size requirements and stipulations on window performance that took additional time in drafting this free proposal. The time line for this proposal was still within a 1 week period. At the time of my initial visit I provided him with all manufacturers' brochures, access to their website and all product information and details. And I personally stopped at the manufacturer prior to my visit to leave him a sample of the material for the color approval. We did include a cost as the report states. We were $1,200 over another competitor’s estimate. As the owner I personally meet each potential client and assess their special needs for service. There are sometimes additional costs in dealing with people that are particular. This condo is multilevel, all hardwood floors, extremely neat and clean. This did add to the estimate cost. When I enter into a contract and am paid for services, I perform them and I am accountable after the sale. For something that is free to this member, I do not feel any accountability, that my written proposal did not meet his expectations. I initially communicated with him promptly, and met him at his convenience, and left him like a gentleman. I believe that it is unfair to chastise someone and to take out of proportion my honesty and sincere efforts to provide a proposal on a complex project that I did at no charge. I am grateful that the bid was not accepted because the liability and aggravation would have not been worth the sale. My disagreement is directed at Angie's List for allowing a report to be displayed by a member where services were not contracted or paid for with a small disclaimer that more weight is given when work is performed. I believe this member has the right to his opinion, just like I have the right to mine. I believe he has high expectations for a free estimate. I've been dealing with the public for 35 years and nothing surprised me more than this unjustified complaint. Angie's List hopefully will fine tune and adjust their system. Just as there are sections under windows, doors, siding, air conditioning, for people to write back about services that were contracted for and delivered. There should be a section for estimates that are free. Hopefully this member will get a good job at a fair price. I have no ill feelings other than hopefully some changes will be made to Angie's List. Improving the way members report about free estimates, not work that's contracted for.

Jim was right on time, friendly, informative, and helpful. I ended up only needing one window and decided to go with another company. However, when I proceed with the other windows, I'll definitely call We Care back again.
Description of Work: I had Jim come out and provide a quote for about 8 windows.

They started promptly and worked fast. We had some bad weather, but as soon as it was safe to work outdoors they were back. They were very professional and friendly. If problems arose they informed me right away.
Description of Work: There were several areas of the building that needed work; the roof, the windows and the brick walls. They resurfaced the roof, replaced the flashing and fixed the chimney. They replaced and removed bad windows. They stuccoed one wall and patched the other.

The owner of the company spoke with me over the phone to arrange the estimate. He arrived on time, spent a considerable amount of time discussing my immediate needs as well as my "wish list". My questions were answered completely; I felt completely comfortable with the prospect of working with is company (I was somewhat hesitant given a kitchen renovation nightmare). The owner video-recorded the work that needed to be completed, took pictures, written notes as well as digitally-recorded the specifics of the work. We Care worked incessantly to get my work completed. At the time of installation, a crew of six gentlemen arrived on time, worked throughout the entire two days and consistently completed integrity checks to ensure the quality of their own work. It seems as if they have a "critical friends" system in which work checks are part of the job. They worked throughout my house; they were careful to clean all debris and to not damage my art and other household items. The gentlemen were concerned with my opinion and wanted to ensure I was happy with the finished product. In short, you only get what you pay for ... this company takes PRIDE in their work and in building customer relationships. I highly recommend WE CARE FREE ESTIMATES! A family owned business, they understand that consumer demand is the highest form of accountability. If quality work and peace of mind are important to you, choose this company. You won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: I live in a 90 year old home in NW Philadelphia. We Care removed, re-installed and capped 11 windows. In addition, the company installed an environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient skylight partition cover and did a special air condition window installation.

We Care was excellent. They were prompt, professional, and Jim called every night during the process to see how things were going on our end. He was very proactive and followed-through. If an order for materials was late, they made sure to call us and give an update since they knew we were waiting and wondering. The finished work is wonderful, and we've since had an energy audit and the company raved about the windows and how well sealed they are.
Description of Work: We Care replaced 21 windows (Energy Star, LoE2) in our home. They took out the old ones, re-framed a few that needed it, installed new windows, and installed trim/capping on the outside.

I felt like there was too much propoganda. You weren't just buying windows, but rather you were buying the whole gimmick and ideas of the company. I didn't need to hear all about what other contractors should be doing. He was very nice but spent way too much time talking about other things than windows.

We got three estimates. We selected primarily on the quality of materials as determined by window samples provided even though the bid was the highest. The work started two weeks after the bid was accepted and completed two days later. An additional work item requested, repair of a broken pane in an existing sash window, was completed at reasonable charge.

We've used them for so many things. I would love to recommend them for the Page of Happiness. They were unbelievably prompt, courteous, always showing up when they said they would and calling if they were going to be late. Their communication is superior as well as the quality of their workmanship. If we had anything that wasn't quite right all we had to do was make a phone call and they were right there to fix it. I can't recommend them highly enough. This has been the best experience I've ever had with a contractor.
