Turns out there was a big misunderstanding and a bunch of errors that led to a missed appointment. United Better Homes somehow had the wrong address in their calendar and missed the appointment. They did try to get a hold of me but they were using my work number and obviously I was at my home waiting and didn't get their messages. Things were further complicated buy the fact that I couldn't call the person trying to find my house. I feel bad that I gave a bad initial review because of this and I should have waited to learn the full story before I let my frustration dictate my opinion. Under better circumstances I would hope that things would have turned out better. That said, I will request another appointment. If United Better Homes is interested, I hope this turns out better.

Response from United Better Homes
We are so sorry that you had a negative experience for your appointment. As we told you on the phone when we called just before 4pm, our salesman had somehow gotten the town wrong (we're not sure exactly how that happened, we are assuming human error as the address was correct in our calendar). We were outside of a home that we thought was yours, and unfortunately that wasn't the case. Our specialist did start to head your way, but due to traffic on a Friday afternoon it was going to take him about 45 minutes to reach you and we understand that is why you said to forget it (when we were finally able to reach you on the phone after numerous phone calls, voicemails, and emails). We've tried to reschedule and can understand that you are choosing not to, but to say that we didn't call you is completely inaccurate and very misleading. Again, we apologize for the human error that had our sales specialist go to the wrong home, and hope you are able to find someone to work with that suits your needs. Thank you.

Just how you hope any project (large or small) would go---Ed Roman and his office staff were extremely knowledgeable, responsive, communicative, punctual, polite, did exactly what they said they would do. He applied our Angie's List discount in the bid. He brought a team of 11 who got busy, moved any furniture necessary, covered floors and furniture with protective plastic drapes, vacuumed up after themselves, took the stickers off the new windows and even cleaned off the glue . They arrived precisely at 8A and were all cleaned up and done by 3P! They took all the debris and construction waste. One of the team also re set our outdoor in -ground lights in the front that got pushed over by heavy snow this winter. Amazing! Would highly recommend to any homeowner. We plan to have them come back soon for some gutter work.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we appreciate the opportunity to address any concerns that come up. Unfortunately with the Infinity from Marvin windows when you choose an exterior color it is only for the exterior of the window as Marvin doesn't manufacture the Infinity window with those colors also on the inside. We apologize for any confusion that this may have caused and we have used this experience as an extra layer of training for our window specialists with regards to that particular feature for that particular window. We've enjoyed working with you and your wife on several projects over the years and we look forward to working with you again should you need more work done in the future. Thank you and enjoy your windows!

I can't say enough about this company and the installers. It was seamless from start to finish! Mr. Hughes came out, gave me an estimate on both windows. He was professional and direct. None of that frilly stuff where they haul in trunks of props to demonstrate heat loss or make you look at window samples. Nope, all business and that's what I liked best. Thank you for not putting me through another 3 hour sales pitch! Installation day was 03/20/15. The crew arrived on time and were courteous, professional and friendly. They prepped the rooms before starting work. Encapsulated my furniture with plastic and protected my flooring with tarps. I did a picture diary - the installation was awesome! See here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204021824371306&set=a.10204021809810942.1073741891.1394539973&type=1&theater After the installation of the bow window the area was thoroughly cleaned before moving on to the sliding window. These guys have obviously been working together for awhile as they were in sync as to the next thing to do and who was doing what. They were amazing! A real "team". Everything was finished off, sealed, double and triple checked, the windows were cleaned, the floors were vacuumed and all debris was removed. It was like they were never here except for the new windows. Once the windows were done, Simon made sure I knew how to operate the crank out windows and instructed me on screen installation (I prefer them out for more light but will install in the warmer weather). The sliding window is awesome too! It opens from either side and the screen slides over. Brilliant! Needless to say, United Better Homes far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them and will certainly be recommending them to my boss for new windows at the office this year. AWESOME JOB EVERYONE! Keep it up! HUGE THANK YOU!

They did a fine job, and were especially helpful when there was a problem with one window. They were on time and efficient in all the work. With the exception of the problem window, all was done in one day. They returned at our request to explain how to operate the windows and to clean them. They were very kind about my initial panic concerning the window operation and that wasn't their fault since they had explained the operation to my husband but not to me ;-). While they were not inexpensive, I feel we got quality and the best windows for our needs. Would work with them again in a minute. Recommend them very highly.

They arrived on time, were quick, polite, and appeared efficient. One sill plate was put in with the rough side up. (dirt shows and is hard to remove). The other window is not as easily viewed, but they had smears of red insulating foam on the white AZEK trim. I'm not sure how to get it off yet. Probably will not use them again. I mentioned the sill plate being upside down and was told the plate was just a rough piece. I should have complained, but nobody from the company ask me what I thought about the job. The window would have to be removed to fix the problem.
Description of Work: They removed and replaced two ground level windows with Marvin casement windows. The windows were 38"W x 52"H, single pane, Infinity by Marvin windows and total cost was Approx. $2300.

We're sorry that you aren't satisfied with your window installation. As we completed the project in December 2013 and you gave us an Angie's List review with an overall A grade in January 2014, we assumed that everything was completed to your satisfaction. I've spoken to the head installer who was on the project and he remembered your job and thought that everything had gone very well, so again, we apologize if there's something we missed. I've called and left you a message so we can schedule a time to have someone come out and look at the windows so we can make any necessary corrections. I look forward to speaking to you so we can get this taken care of. Thank you!

Great. They had to remove the surrounding siding outside as well as the light fixtures. Also removed all interior trim and replaced it perfectly. The doors went in quickly, the clean up was wonderful. They had the best price for the doors of the 3 places we checked. Too soon to see if the doors are as draft-proof as we hope....waiting for really cold weather!

Although they cost more than some other options, they're guaranteed to last for life so you won't have to replace your windows again (saving you money in the big picture).

Price quoted was significantly higher than installed provider I went with. First of all, never showed up the first time I was scheduled to meet. Next time, they were next door and said they wrote down wrong address. Once quoted, they were really. to interested and they don't usually install doors that were purchased somewhere else. In fact, he said this. But then said, we'll do it for $1200. In other words, they act like they're doing me a favor by jacking up the price.

We appreciate the feedback as an opportunity to make improvements in areas that may need it. We were able to give this particular sales specialist more training in our various door lines based on your review.
