Description of Work: Other than a communication breakdown early in the process (which could have been either party's fault), the process went smoothly and the gutter replacement went well. I am satisfied with the final product.

Response from Weather Tamer Home Improvements
She is not a customer of our company. She bought her windows from E.C.Miller, Inc. in the year of 1996. She called our company about a repair on a window. We tried to explain to her that she purchased her windows from a different company. The manufacture of the windows is no longer in business. We did offer to repair her window, but there would be a service charge. She refused and then posted the review on Angie's List. We attempted to have Angie's List to remove this review. Angie's List inform us that we had a interaction with the customer they could not removed it. They also said that if one of our company trucks cut off a customer on the road that the customer could post a review. They stated it would affect the integrity of their web site if the review was removed.

Description of Work: I had Weather Tamer Home Improvements come out and give me a quote on a roof and windows. When Mike Howerton (the owner) came out he was very professional and polite. My husband and I really liked the quote he gave us. So we decided to go with Weather Tamer. We decided to go with a metal roof and replace ten of our windows. The metal roof and the windows looks amazing. The clean up on the job was excellent. I loved working with a family run business. I would recommend them to anyone I know that is wanting to have work done on their home.

Description of Work: I came very close to hiring this firm. I reviewed their history, which was long with mostly A's and a few complaints. Being a designer in the building industry, I knew that the important thing is not that an error occurs, but how it is fixed. This company had taken the trouble to certify its roofers to double the guarantee on the roof. I had full confidence they would have done excellent work. I only took another bid because they were local, and friends of close friends, and equally competitve in price. But Weather Tamers were the only ones who had certified Certainteed Roofers. I hired my friends friend and they have done excellent work, but I sure would have liked that double warrantee! I found the estimator to be very informative and professional.

Contacted company based on Angie list recommendations. Described on phone scope of work was roof repair (shingles had blown off in a recent wind storm) and replacement of 60ft of gutters. When company rep arrived to give estimate he looked at work to be done and said the job was too small for them to do.

Response from Weather Tamer Home Improvements
The customer did not specify that is was repair when setting the appointment. The customer claimed he wanted to have a full roof replacement and we made it known over the phone we do not do repairs. When rep came to the house we explained again that our business doesn't do repair work. We just do the full replacement.

One day service for each job, two days total. There was a problem with the gutters during the rainstorm, but the crew came back and he came with them and repaired the gutters. He is very professional. He answered any questions or got back to me quickly. He pleased me and my wife. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mike was very upfront about how he runs his business, and our experience lived up to his standards. A month after ordering the windows, they arrived and It took them 2 days to change them out. They cleaned their messes and rehung blinds and shades and curtains.
Description of Work: Replaced windows with new Energy efficient windows rated to allow for rebate under Recovery & Reinvestment act. Also switched out doors we had bought.
