Jim was very professional and prompt. He gave me an extensive list of referrals with addresses so that I could see his work. His prices were competitive. I had made a previous contract with another window company for additional window replacement in my home prior to hearing about him and he was a little concerned because they had a reputation for somewhat shoddy work and he offered to come by when they arrived to check on the job for me, which I thought was very kind of him. I would call him again and recommend him without reservation. Outstanding work!
Description of Work: Removed front windows (steel) replaced with bay picture window with special design. Caulked, built soffit outside. Cleaned up area and disposed all debris.

Very well. They kept me in the loop as far as when to expect materials, when to expect workers, when to expect the job to be completed. They called the morning of the job to let me know the workers were on the way. They also followed up to make sure I was satisfied once the job was completed.
Description of Work: Replaced three windows. Two were replaced with similar models, one involved taking two small windows, tearing down the wall between them and replacing them with a large window. They also replaced a screen door.

I must say that this is a most unusual company. From the original contact to the final call backs to make sure everything was done properly, this company sets what should be the standard for customer service and satisfaction. Jim, the company representative made sure that I received an written estimate, noting all of the particulars. He came to the house and showed me the kind of window that I would installed. Saved me a bundle of money by recommended that four of the windows possibly could be repaired and had one of his contractors come and take a look and make his recommendations. Saved me a lot of money. Jim, and his workers really went out of their way to do this job the right way.
Description of Work: Replace 4 windows with new double pane replacement windows, repair, caulk, seal 4 windows.

It went extremely well. Had already had no luck with 2 contractors over period of 9 months so was wary. Owner Jim said he understood and guaranteed he would meet commitments. And so he did. Every projected date or task was met on time or ahead of schedule. Instead of declaring 4-6 weeks and taking three months, as was the case with 1st contractor (national company), he promised 5 weeks from signing of contract to completion of job and that's how long it took. Once, when a carpenter taking final measurements was supposed to bring paint chips and forgot, he brought them back the next business day at my convenience. They were courteous and professional and cleaned up thoroughly.
Description of Work: Replaced an older external door with a better-insulating one. Had to meet condominium requirements for style and color.

I called Big Jim at We Care to ask about replacement windows and new storm doors. We set up an appointment for the next day and he was at my house on time, sample window and cameras in hand. He showed me the beautiful window and demonstrated how it worked. He explained his good business ideas and quoted the price. I accepted, he called his son & had him come measure that day. I explained that I was hosting a party and if they could be finished before the party. Big Jim put a rush on everything and they were done before my party. The guys came with windows, explained they'd do 1 floor at a time. They replaced windows on 2nd floor, 1st day; on 1st floor 2nd day. They were all very, very nice and friendly. They came back the following week to install storm doors. Absolutely gorgeous! The guys cleaned up everything at the end of each day. They even looked out for my cat who tried to sneak out the house. Big Jim and his sons and workers are the greatest! And, my house is off the hook!!!
Description of Work: I had sixteen windows and three storm doors replaced. The windows and storm doors are absolutely beautiful. I am very, very pleased with the way my house looks now and I'm looking forward to lower heating bills this winter.

I'm living back in my parents home which is 55 years old, and my father was lonely and did all his own work, finding a company who can match the type of work my father did is hard, But I think I found them. I would hire them again. Great experience. Joe & Jeff did great work.
Description of Work: Joe and Jeff did the work, They pulled out a large picture window over a sink set in stone, put in a new double awning window framed insulated. Took down outside steel storm door, framed and installed new security door. Both pieces formed on vinyl siding, great work.

This was a moderately complex and demanding job. All construction materials had to be offloaded into the ground floor garage and then carried up several flights of stairs to the deck area. Overall, the work was excellent. The firm owners and mechanics who performed the work were all responsive to any concerns that I had. During the estimate process, Jim Weigold took the time to fully understand what I wanted done on the job and made sure that my expectations were fully met. His son James went the extra mile to locate the type of access hatch that I wanted and then made sure that it was installed properly.
Description of Work: Replace siding on 3rd floor of row house surrounding deck. Remove existing siding, install plywood base, double wrapped 3/4 foam insulation and vinyl siding. Install aluminum secure access hatch to attic space. Replace all flashings, seal and caulk sliding glass doors at deck access. Brace existing vent pipe. Remove, cut down to resize and reinstall iron security gate over sliding glass doors. Install deck lighting.

After contacting Mr. Weigold, he came to the residence and videotaped the areas that I wanted work done. I was faxed a proposal with all prices included. I contacted him after a month when I was ready to have the work done. The work was scheduled the day after I met with Mr. Weigold to sign the contract. After scheduling what work would be done and when, Mr. Weigold would give me a courtesy call to let me know when they would be working on the property (this was not my primary home, so the inside work that had to be done required me to be present to access the property). Once the inside work was done, I no longer had to be present to open the property, but Mr. Weigold would give me a courtesy call to let me know what day they would next be working and what work would be done on that day.
Description of Work: I had broken front steps removed and new ones poured, repair to a security storm door, porch light replaced, 2nd floor cornice rotted wood was replaced and covered with aluminum siding as well as siding to front floor-length window. In the back of the house, the rotted wood of my garage 'bump out' was replaced and the entire bump out covered with siding, barge board replaced, and cement repair to crumbling cement garage walls.

These guys were above my expectations. I was a little anxious before they started the job since I had never heard of their company. The crew (4 guys) was professional, courteous, neat, fast, prompt and did an excellent job. The owner/estimator (Big Jim) was very easy to work with, and gave me a quote on the spot which beat other quotes I had received. Big Jim and his sons always returned my calls, and met me promptly as scheduled. He videotaped the windows that I wanted replaced and any special instructions I requested. The crew watched the video the morning of the installation and so knew the job before arriving at my house. My husband, who is a contractor and woodworker, was impressed with the quality of their work. I am recommending this company to all my friends.
Description of Work: Replacement vinyl windows and exterior capping for 9 double-hung windows and 1 picture window. Some windows also needed a few exterior sills replaced because of rot (NOTE: this was not termite damage).

Overall, things went OK. There was a lack of communication between Jim Wiegold and his workers. Jim and I would discuss specific items that were not carried out by his workers. Much of the work is done by young, 30ish men who are talented but must be watched. An example is that my back room was left without a wall and the floor as well as the kitchen ceiling was exposed. The workers tried to leave the house without covering it up. Had I not told them to put a tarp or something over the hole, my family and I would have been exposed to the outside. The electrical wires were sloppily run. I had to ask them to cover the wires. Wires were run from the back room down through an opening in which a water pipe ran, through the kitchen and down into the basement. I asked them to rerun the wires down the outside of the house. The owner tried to convince me to cover the pipe as well as the wires, but I refused. Whenever discrepancies arised, they were resolved, but with some debate.
Description of Work: The company knocked out the back and side walls as well as a portion of the floor. The walls and floor had to be rebuilt. They painted the back two adjoining rooms, installed ceiling fans, painted the two rooms and gave me white roofs. I received white roofs on the porch, the main roof and a small roof in the rear of the home. They installed new windows in the back room and painted both of them. Electrical outlets were also installed in both of the back rooms and well as a motion light and a regular light in the back yard. Electrical box installed in the basement. An accidental hole was put in kitchen ceiling and was ignored because I have a dropped ceiling in the kitchen. When I complained about it, two pieces of Sheetrock were thrown up, which did not cover the hole. Then it was suggested, by the owner that plastic be put up to the ceiling. Eventually large pieces of sheetrock were placed over the hole. I am still waiting for my radiator to be connected in the back room.

I got exactly what I wanted out of it. It was all just fine. The man and his crew did a really nice job. He was also hilarious. It took two full days for them to complete the job. That was not too bad. He called himself Jim W and he had a video camera with him. He videotaped everything before giving me an estimate. All the other estimates I got, they just came in and took measurements. We Care was a little higher out of the three, but, I was just impressed with them. Another thing was that they came out around Christmas time. They told me the factory was closed for Christmas, but, they said that they could get me in. I was glad because there was a lot of air coming through my windows.
Description of Work: I had ordered eight windows form We Care. They also installed them and built a few new wooden frames for the windows as well.

Jim Weigold (the owner) came in the evening, himself, to give us an estimate. He gave us a complete information packet including a DVD about the company. He is a firm believer in "contractor disclosure" and explained that to us fully. We had several other estimates but We Care's was the best price-wise and attitude-wise. We decided to go with them. The crew arrived within 15 minutes of the scheduled time with one of Jim's sons (Jeff) running the job. I was told that the job would take approximately 2 days to complete. The crew completed the job in less than one full day. The crew used drop cloths and cleaned up after themselves quite well. When a problem was found with one of the new screens (a small cut), one of Jim's sons (James) came and repaired the screen onsite. These guys were great! We Care should be the model for all contractors.
Description of Work: We Care was hired to replace 14 windows in our home. The windows were a combination of original aluminum/wood frame windows and vinyl replacement windows. Capping and caulking needed to be applied to all windows after replacement.

We agreed that with the layout of the house, the workmen would have to come through the house with all their equipment. They were quite considerate and took care to minimize the mess. On the first day, the demolishion crew ripped away most of the old stuff. They were able to get foam insulation up over most of the exposed parts. On the second day, they found that the vent pipe may have been the source of a recurring leak in my kitchen. We decided to replace it, increasing the cost of the job but leaving me much more satisfied. Jim had his son come off of another job on short notice to do this extra work. He returned on the last day as well to complete the effort. After each day, they would clean up the work area and show me their progress. I was impressed, and it was good to see that the crew cared about their work. Lastly, Jim cares greatly about Mandate To The Mayor. This system promotes disclosure of contracting jobs and benefits honest, good contractors.
Description of Work: Replaced siding on back of three story rowhouse. Each floor juts out somewhat uniquely, so there was a lot of prep work before siding could be put down. Replaced cast iron vent pipe that had been partly imbedded in old siding.

It went really well. I had not had a window of this size replaced before, and so I relied on Jim's judgment to help me choose a bay window. The actual work was done by Justin and one other carpenter. They did a great job. The window and new roof over the window look even better than I anticipated. Even though I kept telling Justin that I'd vacuum up, he got down and made sure that all the sawdust was cleaned up from my house. The house looks so much brighter and inviting (as this is a large window in the front of my house). In a separate job, they replaced 9 other room windows in my house, all the same style as the bay window. They're beautiful. The house isn't windy anymore.
Description of Work: Jim and his team came in and removed a 50 year old bay window and replaced it with a new one. In the process, they had to rebuild the roof over the window.
