To continue from above, we were going to go with them anyhow if they would split the difference with us (we figured everyone makes a mistake once in a while) but they wouldn't do it. We gave them another chance for the same project a little over a year later and the price was even higher that time. As far as the window project that we did use them for we found the installers to be great. They were very neat and very carefull. They completed everything in one day. We got 17 new windows and new sliding glass doors. Although we wouldn't use them again it's not because of the quality of their product or installers, it's because of their pricing system and sales approach.

We had another company visit us and when the Legacy Remodeling salesman called on us he had several cost savings suggestions as well as different ideas on window and door types we had not considered. The installers were very professional, completed the work in a timely manner and we were extremely pleased with the work. One window screen had a small tear in it - the installer ordered a new screen and it was recently delivered to the house and installed. I would highly recomend this comapny if you have doors or windows to be installed.
Description of Work: We needed 13 windows and two doors replaced.

Everything went smoothly despite the heat & humidity (and occasional rain showers) while they were working. The original estimate was for one, possibly 1½ days - it took the 1½ days. The crew of three was very professional, easy to get along with, answered my questions willingly, and thoroughly cleaned up all the debris at the completion of the job. Because of personal commitments there weren't able to start as early as possible on the 2nd day, but they explained that the day before so there were no surprises. The work is very professional looking and I have no complaints.
Description of Work: Through a subcontractor, installed 9 double hung windows to replace existing 50-70 year old windows. One additional window was removed and the opening enlarged to accomodate 2 windows with a new frame & window sill installed. Exterior molding was installed around all the windows. In fact, they had molding left over that they graciously installed around the front door at no extra charge. I also had 2 exterior window sills replaced and molding put on around 6 basement windows and sills.

I would not deal with this vendor, ever. His focus on the insurance issue rather than the roof replacement made me feel very uneasy about what I might be getting into had I contracted with this vendor.
Description of Work: This company solicited work door to door in my neighborhood. Most of the roofs in the area are being replaced due to a nasty hail storm. I told the solicitors that I was going to have my roof replaced and that I was getting proposals for the work, and I'd be glad to entertain a proposal from them. They set up an appointment for a "consultant" to come to my house to estimate the roof replacement. When he arrived, he started badmouthing the contractor who was replacing the roof on my neighbor's house, but he did not know who the contractor was nor could he be specific as to what was wrong with the installation. He would only say that they wouldn't give the customer service that he would. When I asked him to look at my roof, he was more interested in whether I had filed a claim with my insurance company and whether I had gotten a settlement than doing the roof estimate. After a few minutes of this, I told him to leave. His parting remark was that he gets paid for insurance estimates and he gets an additional $10,000 from the insurance companies when he does.

Response from LEGACY REMODELING INC
I’m sorry that you were displeased with your Legacy experience. Legacy strives to provide the highest level of customer service for every homeowner with whom we meet, and we seemed to fall short of this during our appointment with you. This type of service is not indicative of our 25-year history of exceeding homeowner expectations. Regarding the insurance estimate, there seems to have been some confusion. Legacy does not have any relationships with insurance companies, nor does the company receive any funds for completing insurance projects. I’m sorry if this was not relayed properly during the appointment. Best of luck with your roof project and I hope that Legacy can earn your trust and business in the future.

Legacy had a table set up at Sam's Club, and I could fill out a form to enter a sweepstakes. I explained the variety of work needed, and the woman there took notes, but said she was just a sales rep.Last week I got a call to set up an appointment, which was to be for this evening (May 10). They insisted that both my husband and me should be available. I requested a 7:30 pm appointment, but was told that was "too late" so I agreed to 7 pm. I was told that I would get a call confirming the appointment schedule.Yesterday I got a call confirming the "6 o'clock" appointment. I said, no, it was supposed to be for 7 pm because that's what *Legacy* had wanted and that I had originally requested a later timeslot. I warned them that my husband didn't always get home from work on time, especially because he had major meetings scheduled this week. I was asked if we wanted to reschedule, but I said no -- but that the person being sent out might have to wait a few minutes if my husband was running late.This evening I had to run out to the grocery store last minute. There was a car in my driveway (not a truck with a ladder -- an SUV). It was 10 of 6. I was a little torqued and probably made it more than abundantly clear, *especially* since I had *thought* I had confirmed the originally scheduled 7 pm time the day before, having to correct the person on the phone (who had it written down for 6). I was again asked if i wanted to reschedule and I said no, but he'd just have to wait till 7 and hope my husband (who I wasn't able to get hold of) got home by then. He backed out my driveway and when I pulled out he was parked in front of my house. A few minutes later he was parked on the other side of the street. My husband got home about a quarter to 7. I told him what had happened and he went out to see if the guy was still there. No SUV in sight. No callback (as of about 8:30 pm) from Legacy.At the table in Sam's Club I was told that Legacy had an A rating on Angie's list (they don't). I was also told that they were given an award in 2009 by the BBB -- apparently this didn't happen in 2010 or 2011, and I'm starting to wonder why not... (okay, maybe I'm not at this point). I noticed in reading the reviews that every time they got a poor review their response was to get pissy about it I have no doubt this will happen again this time in response to my review (and their previous responses to complaints on Angies's List was *part* of the reason for being given a poor rating for professionalism).The fact that they can't follow simple instructions (appointment at 7 pm, you may have to wait a few minutes) bothers me -- especially since *they* set the initial time. The fact that the left hand apparently doesn't know what the right hand is doing bothers me even more -- I reiterated the time schedule *they* had set to the person on the phone on Wednesday (and reminded them of that fact), which was apparently *not* passed along. The fact that a guy who is supposed to be doing an estimate on roof repairs shows up with out a ladder? YMMV (but you've been warned....)I probably should have had the guy call the dispatcher *on the spot* when he first showed up to say "the homeowner says the appointment is for 7 pm". (My bad. But I really *did* have to run to the store and back). Apparently Legacy isn't hurting for business, because they're sure not working too hard to get ours....
Description of Work: They were supposed to give us an estimate for roof repairs/replacement and removing a collapsing chimney that was not maintained by the previous owners of our house. The chimney is to be replaced with a skylight.

I am sorry that this member is so upset by the service she received from our company. The simple truth here is that there was confusion between a nice lady in our office who sets appointments and the representative who we sent out to provide the estimate. Generally the latest appointments we set are for 6 PM in the evening but we deviated from this in order to try and accommodate this customer. While we always strive to deliver excellent service, mistakes happen from time to time as occurred in this case. Upon realizing there was a problem we apologized and offered to reschedule for a different time but the customer was not interested in this. I am not sure what more we can do than to apologize and offer to come back at another time. As the customer indicated in the review, she was, in her words, "a little torqued" with our representative and made this "abundantly clear". From our perspective she was verbally abusive to our representative and told him not to return which is why we have not followed up further. We have spoken with the employee who made the error in question and I am comfortable she will work hard to prevent future issues like this but I am not going to make a federal case out of someone writing down 6 PM when they should have written down 7 PM as this person seems to feel we should. Legacy Remodeling is a winner of the 2009 BBB Torch Award for Market Place Ethics. We have not won since then as the BBB requires winners to wait three years before being nominated again. However I can assure all members that we continue to offer the same level of excellent service which brought us this recognition. I wish this member the best of luck in finding a contractor for her project.

They were excellent at what they did. They cleaned up and showed up on time. They were professional, and they did an excellent job. When I scheduled the appointment, they were very courteous. I like them because they have individual expertise. They do various things, but if you want siding, they send people who specialize in siding. If you need windows, they can send window people.
Description of Work: They put up vinyl siding on a small portion of my fence.

They installed a new type of triple glazed windows, which has heat repellent on both sides so it doesn’t over heat in the summer. I am sitting in a room that is 45 feet long and almost the whole wall facing south is a window. This room was a real heat zone until they replaced the window in it. It is more comfortable now. One of the windows was broken, they replaced it, and that broke, so they are going to be replacing it again. Therefore, I have no complaints with anything they did. Their pricing did seem reasonable and fair to me although, I didn’t do too much competitive bidding. It just so happened that they were doing an interesting work in the neighborhood and those people were satisfied too, so I followed up on that and decided to use them. I have no complaints with the quality of work they did for me. They came when they said they would. When they were finishing the installation, they called to indicate that the replacement window was available. When I discovered that the replacement had broken during installation, I called them and they sent somebody out right away. They are now in the process of ordering a replacement for that, at their expense and not at my expense. We have the other half of the house left to put in windows and we would use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used Legacy Remodeling Inc within the last month. They replaced half the windows of my house. We had twenty-one windows put in for about more than $500 per window.

We met a sales associate from Legacy at the Home Show, In the spring I scheduled an appointment with a sales associate to come to my home to provide a bid. The day of the appointment I received a phone call from Legacy's office stating that the associate was tied up on another appointment and would not be able to make it to our house that day and would I like to reschedule. I said, yes, we selected a day and time. I was then asked if I had a husband and what his name was, I thought it odd but gave the information. I was asked if he would be available for the appointment and I said yes. The morning of the appointment I received a reminder phone call that the sales associate would be coming to my home and I said yes, I remembered and was waiting. I was then asked if my husband was home as well. He was not, because he had gotten called into work overtime that day. I was then told I would have to reschedule the appointment for when my husband was available. Absolutely astonished by this I didn't know what to say, but of course, related the situation to my husband when he got home and asked about the appointment. His response (mine too) was do not call them again, we'll find someone else. We found another company through Angie's list, who was perfectly fine dealing with me, and they did a fabulous job. I was not going to write this review until I saw the review written by a woman in January 2011. I needed to back her up and confirm that the same situation happened to me.

I am sorry that this member was not satisfied with the level of service she received from Legacy. However I do want to point out that we didn't actually perform any work for her or actually even meet with her. We work hard to do a good job for all of our customers and if this member had chosen to go with Legacy for her project I am quite certain she would have been pleased with the job we would have done and the value for her money that she would have received. Fortunately those members who do actually use Legacy for their projects generally give us very high grades as they recognize the quality we deliver. We do have a policy of requiring all persons who are decision makers or involved in paying for a project to be present for an appointment. It is our belief that by having all parties present when we visit we are able to answer everyone's questions at that time and reduce any opportunities for confusion or mistakes. Also, although we are willing to go back to see a customer as many times as necessary in order to make them feel comfortable selecting Legacy for their home improvement project, we do try to make sure that our visits are as productive as possible since we are providing a free, no obligation estimate to the customer. As someone who is also a member of Angie's List, I would also like to point out that on May 4, 2011, Angie's List sent out a email to members titled "3 questions your contractor shouldn't ask" in this email it says that a contractor should ask: "Will anyone else be involved with decisions about the project and payment? I want to be sure not to waste your time, so it would be best if everyone is available at the same time." So although I do feel badly that the memberfeels that our service was not up to her expectations, I do believe that our policy is in line with what Angie's List themselves tell their members they should expect when dealing with a contractor. If you as a member are looking for a company that will provide you with expert installation of good quality products at a reasonable price and will then stand behind that installation, then please contact Legacy Remodeling today.

This company sub contracts all their work, so the quality you get is hit-or-miss. We, unfortunately, got many misses. Our roof lasted 3 years. The siding started falling off the house with the first moderate storm. We've had to have siding replaced 8 times. Lights were installed without junction boxes. The list goes on and on. Do not walk; run away from this contractor.

I am sorry to to see that this user chose to post this review. This project was done over 12 years ago, before Legacy Remodeling even existed. The work which was done at this home was done by Swing Line Windows before Legacy Remodeling took over their business activities. After 12 years, a different company and an entirely different group of managers and employee's, I do not believe that this report is a fair reflection of Legacy Remodeling's work, our quality or our people. After investigating the details of this members posting, I would also like to point out some factual flaws. The siding on this person's home has not been replaced 8 times (even if it was, Swing Line only did it once, so I wouldn't know about the other 7 times the member claims). In fact the siding that was installed on this persons home back in 1999 is still on their home. The same goes for their roof, the roof was not replaced after 3 years, it is still on the home. With regards to the members other comments, all I can say is that we use a mix of highly skilled company employee's and reliable subcontractors for certain trades when we do not have such a person on staff, such as a registered plumber or certified electrician. In all cases, we obtain the proper permits for the work that we do, ensure that we comply with relevant building codes, pass our inspections and provide prompt and courteous service for any problems that arise after the completion of the job. For those who might be considering Legacy Remodeling for a project, I would point out that we do over 750 projects per year, the overwhelming majority of which result in very satisfied customers. We build our company on repeat and referral business and therefore make every effort to ensure that when we are done with your project, you will be able to recommend us to others. We are a winner of the Better Business Bureau Torch Award for ethics in the marketplace and do our best to always do the right thing. Among our reports on Angie's List we have over 40 "A" grades from those customers who experienced the quality of our work. Many of the lower grades we have received were from people who did not actually have work performed. If you are considering having work done on your home, I would ask you to please consider Legacy so that one of our representatives can show you how our company is different than the others out there. Legacy... We Speak Remodeling!

Day 1 Jeff and his crew of 3 arrived promptly. They immediately got to work by setting up and discussing the process to me. I knew exactly what to expect. They covered all the areas that were involved with drop cloths to proctect the furniture and floor from damage by dust and their work boots. They were non stop when working and only stopped long enough to eat a sandwhich (which they did by standing). I had to leave and left them there to lock up without me (which was done perfectly). Everything was left tidy and in order for the next day of work. They returned as scheduled (on time). They were back on the job and worked diligently. They needed to come back for the 3rd day for part of the day and finished and spent a great deal of time cleaning up the area. I am thrilled with the quality of their work. EXCELLENT JOB, Jeff!!!
Description of Work: Day 1 started with the removal of a window, moving electrical and replacing the window with a sliding glass door. The wall they cut through was brick. Day 2 involved building a small wooden deck with stairs and hand railings out from the new door. This involved brick removal, cutting and replacing brick around the door. Also, building a frame around the new door. Overall, I was thrilled with the quality of the work and would definitely recommend Jeff and his team to anyone.

It was okay; some of it was good and some was bad. I was actually pleased with the work they did. The only thing was that it took them so long to finish the work. I wanted them done because we were going on vacation. It didn't get done until three months later. That was the only thing I was upset about. They did the work and they did a good job on the insulation and everything is great. I got good customer service but they were very non-prompt about getting things done. Some of it was me because I wasn't sure what to buy such as the basement heat. They said if I bought it, they would put it in. They said it would cost more for them to bring it. They kind of told me what to buy but I didn't know how much. On both parts it was a delay but it was irritating because they didn't tell me how much to buy. Once they came and did the work, they did an excellent job. They cleaned up after themselves and I am very pleased with the baseboard heating. The area is warm and we are using it as an area in the home. It used to just be storage. The price was very good for what I received. They did come when they said they would. I would use them again.
Description of Work: I used Legacy Remodeling to fix some things after a basement remodeling because I had water come in. They put in attic insulation. I wanted them to raise the banister that went down the stairs because it was too low. I wanted them to put in baseboard heating because it was cold.

Legacy should have set the expectation that their first visit to our house would be a sales pitch. At the Pgh Home & Garden show a Legacy marketing rep scheduled someone to measure our doors and provide a quote the next day which was Saturday (impressively quick). At least that's what we were told would happen. The person arrived late and started going through a scripted sales pitch with company history, quality of product, etc. After 45 minutes we asked if he was going to meaure the doors because we had another commitment that day. He wanted us to commit to Legacy before measuring and providing an estimate. He said that prices would be going up very soon and we should make our decision quickly. We didn't appreciate the pushiness and lack of response to our needs and expectations (to measure the door and provide a quote). I can't speak to the quality of Legacy's product and installation, but they lost me as a customer with this experience. The sales person called the next week with a ballpark cost which was much higher than the other vendors we contacted.
Description of Work: Asked for quote for a new front entry and storm door.

basement remodeling

Much of the quality of the was fine. The ceramic floor in the basement was horrible and we had to fight with the foreman for months to have the issue resolved. We ended up resolving the issue by having to contact the owner - he reimbursed us a small amount and we had to make the fix - replacing the ceramic floor in the bathroom. The big issue with this company is the foreman running the jobs. Because our house is not as expensive as others he decided not to put as much effort in the final product in the bathroom. The remainder of the job was fine but would not work with them again because of a lack of trust of the foreman.
Description of Work: Basement remodeling and added bathroom. Walls included Owens Corning wall product.

I had called KC Construction for a roofing estimate after finding very good reports on Angie's list.John from KC told me that we would have to wait until the snow was gone from the roof before giving an accurate estimate. About two days later someone from Legacy knocked on my door. They had been canvasing my neighborhood so I thought that a second estimate would be a good idea. A representative from Legacy came by a few days later. I gave him the measurements and told him that it was not a normal roofing job because in addition to roofing felt, drip edge and shingles I needed to have the sheathing (decking) replaced as well. I've done this kind of work myself in the past, so I estimated the cost at about $15,000 .Their first estimate came in at $24,000, then after a call to the boss it was dropped to $22,000. I told them that I would think about it. A week or so later my roof was clear on snow and representatives from KC Construction came to my door. They walked the roof and took measurements and then we discussed the job. I told them that I was also interested in new rain gutters. Their estimate included superior materials; 3/4" sheathing instead of 7/16" and 30 year dimensional shingles instead of standard 3 tab shingles. They also added the gutters and came in with an estimate of $15,550. I went with KC Construction. I'm happy with the job they did and especially the price.
Description of Work: I only had an estimate for a roofing job. their price was about 40% higher than the company that I eventually used and Legacy offered inferior materials. Details are in the "how did it go" section.

We thank this user for his feedback. We are sorry that he decided not to work with Legacy Remodeling because not only would he have been pleased with the result, he would have had the peace of mind of dealing with a company that has been in business for twenty plus years, and will be around for many, many more. Concerning the quote; we can only quote jobs and specs that a potential customer asks us to. Had Mr. Musser asked for an estimate on dimensional shingles, we most certainly would have done so. The question of another company (whom for some reason Mr. Musser has decided to name not once but FOUR times in a report about Legacy Remodeling) using superior materials is hearsay. If the three tab shingle our representative quoted Mr. Musser carries a lifetime warranty and the dimensional shingle carries only a 30 year warranty, which one really is the superior product? Unfortunately, we feel that this report is not based in fact and even a slight bit suspicious. If readers choose to look through the rest of the reports about Legacy Remodeling, they will see that an overwhelming majority of our actual customers rated us very highly. Our negative reviews seem to only be from NON-CUSTOMERS. Sounds like our customers get what they pay for: quality products and quality service after the fact As a 24-year old business that has thousands of satisfied roofing customers in the Pittsburgh area, we can say with certainty that we always use quality materials that are built to last a lifetime. We are so confident in the work that we do that we give all of our customers our Century Warranty, which is a lifetime no-service charge warranty for as long as you own your home. This warranty, along with the fact that we have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and won their 2009 Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics is what sets us apart from other companies and makes choosing Legacy worth the investment

I called to get an estimate for a new roof on my house. I spoke with 2 people I believe. They asked me if I had a husband and what his name was so I told then his name. Then I went ahead and scheduled the estimate.. They told me that they could only do 10am and 2pm so I took 2pm. When the man showed up on the day of the estimate he was a good 20 minutes early and that is bad because what If I was planning on 2pm and was not home yet.. I was home and the guy came to the front door. Asked where my husband was and when I told him that he was meeting with me and that I am the one that has been getting all the estimate he then told me he doesn't give estimate to women and turn around and left!! I said really and he said oh yes only to your husband! I could not believe that! it was like I was back in the times when women are nothing.. or could not do anything without the mans approval I will never call this company again!!!!

The review filed by this member is not an accurate representation of Legacy’s policies. We do not discriminate against anyone, ever. Regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic, our employees are always expected to do their very best for our customers. While we regret that this member feels she had a negative experience with Legacy, it is important that members know that we work very hard as a company to ensure our customers are treated respectfully and are satisfied with the service we provide. This is demonstrated by our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and our consistently high scores from Angie’s List members who have actually used our services. It is unfortunate that the member waited so long after our visit to file this response. After so much time has passed, it is difficult for us to properly look into this matter. If the member had contacted us directly at the time, we would have been better able to determine what had happened and to take steps to correct any deficiencies that we detected in the service she had received.

The sales visit was very informative with respect to the quality of the windows, features, warranty, etc. I did not like the pricing approach which started with a standard list price and applied discounts for region and several other factors to arrive at a final price. Once we made a decision the scheduling of installation was very easy, the final measurements were done quickly and at the time stated, and the installation was done in less time than promised. Installation was very professional and the installers were thorough in both the work and the cleaning of the work area. Everyone we dealt with from the salesperson to the installers to the people on the phone were very courteous and focussed on customer service. Time will tell if the installation and product quality are both what they seem. We've only had the windows for a couple months and I want to see how they live up the promise of energy efficiency.
Description of Work: We had all of our windows replaced by Legacy Remodeling.
