They said it would take 3 to 4 days to complete and they actually wrapped it up in two days. The new dental molding on the front of the house now looks better than the original wood molding. I have recommended this company to two of my friends already.
Description of Work: They installed new aluminum soffit, facia, dental molding, and gutters on my Mt. Vernon colonial style house. They did a first class job.

I'm sorry we were not able to earn your business. I have multiple consultants in my company. We don't understand how you had called in 2x and received estimates from 2 different reps. We do our best to send out the same consultants but I think you must have called in more then once and perhaps thought we were different company. Once again, sorry we could not help with your SGD. We wish you the best on your project.

The installers for TransNational were quiet, worked hard and completed the work quickly. I was very pleased with the new windows. For the shutters, they were short on estimators and sent an executive who lived near, to give me an estimate. He told me that standard shutters would not cover the paint on the brick from the old shutters and so he would order a non-standard size and at no extra charge. Unfortunately he did not write this down on the order form. He did not measure the upper windows consequently they upper window shutters were not the correct size . He failed to order the custom size front window shutters. When I pointed the problems out to another executive because the original person was not available, he began very rude. The original executive developed amnesia. The rude executive came to the house to show me how easy it was to remove paint from brick. After 5 minutes he gave up and said he would order custom size shutters for the picture window. He would not do anything about the short shutters on the higher windows saying that they were the correct size although they were 2 inches shorter than the window. Remember get everything in writing.

We ordered shutters to fit the size of your house. However, you have a brick home with old wooden shutters that were painted. The problem was that your painter painted the shutters being on the brick rather then painting them after taking down the shutters. The paint marks on the brick can not be removed. As of courtesy, we ordered new custom shutters at no extra charge but the other pairs can not be made any wider. We appologize for your misunderstand but we can not custom make the one pair of shutter to cover your painters marks.

They did an excellent job. They were very professional. They were very timely, which is a big thing in this day and age to get the contractors to show up when they are supposed to. We were just extremely pleased. We had signed a contract when we moved in the spring. We had them do work for us may be about five years ago, where they did this trim wrap for us of our wood and our windows. So they were having a sale and we signed up where we were repeat customers. We were going to wait to like the fall to have the roof done and then we found out that we had a leak in the bathroom in the guest bedroom upstairs, and so they were very good about fitting us into the schedule quickly and they just did an outstanding job. We were very pleased with them the first time when they did our trim wrap. They do the wood separately, because they do not know how much rotten wood you are going to have until they do the roof. With us, we had a lot more rotted wood than we had anticipated. We had an unusual amount of rotted wood. Their warranty, unlike many other roofing companies, is transferable to the next owner, for us that is a big thing too. We were extremely pleased. They did really a good job. I would give them like an "A+" and certainly recommend them. I checked with other roofers and their price is competitive.
Description of Work: TransNational Corp put in a new roof on for us.

From start to finish, the process went smoothly. Windows were both delivered and installed in the same day. We are very satisfied with the work which was done with care and precision. Each of our old windows were carefully removed, trim and framing was redone in places where the old wood had rotted away. The new windows were then quickly put in to enure that the house wouldn't be subject to the elements or critters while they were working. Cleanup was also done well with all trash and debris removed. We would gladly use this company again for any work we need for our house.

I'm writing this now because we just joined Angie's list. I wanted them to have our review since we are so satisfied with their work and materials. Also, the job they did in replacing our siding and front door in 2007 was the main reason we hired them to replace our windows. During the installation of the windows, they were very professional. They went out of their way to make sure the windows were installed correctly. They even used two different colors of caulk so the windows blended with the siding. The job was started and finished as promised. They were extreme careful inside the house; worked around our landscaping; cleared away all of the old windows; and cleaned up all the waste from the installation. After the installation, there were some small issues that were handled promptly. The windows made a huge difference in our heating and cooling bills.
Description of Work: They replaced our existing windows with 29 Simonton 5500 Reflections Series windows, that included the Solar System and Argon Gas Package.

Transnational replaced all of the windows in my home. Their product is outstanding and they got the job done in the time frame promised. Top notch professionalism. Would use them again 10 out of 10 times! I can't wait to see the energy savings on my future utility bills. These windows will pay for themselves.

Work was completed over a 4 day period (2 years ago). Crew was professional and courteous. They allowed us to make a few changes to the plan as they went. I am writing this now, because over the winter repeated freezing, thawing and an exceptional amount of rain caused some separation in the bricks and some slump along the edge in a couple of areas. I called the called the company, and within a few days a crew was here to fix the damage. They did great rebuilding the washed out area and repacking and leveling the area affected by the freezing and thawing. I am normally remiss when it comes to reviews, but I was impressed by the quick response and the quality work.

It was a job completed to perfection, this is a company I would tell anyone looking into replacing windows to give them a call. The price included everything, no hidden add-on's that I know some friends of mine have been hit with by those low cost window replacement companies.
Description of Work: I live in an older home and needed some windows replaced but was very concerned about someone doing it right. I had TransNational replace a few windows last year so I could see how they came out and see how they reacted to follow-up work. Well I needed no follow up work after the quality work that they performed. So I called them back this year and had them replace the rest of the windows in the house. They did a great job and completed everything in one day, cleaning up everything leaving nothing except great looking windows.

During this winter, I noticed my builder windows let in a considerable amount of cold air into our house. Not wanting to face exorbitant heating bills again, I began to do research on various windows and window installers and then a friend recommended Transnational to us. Their responsiveness was excellent and provided several options for us. They were very accommodating in meeting my busy schedule for the initial appointment and the installation date. I'm very pleased with the workmanship and the professionalism of Transnational. The price was not the lowest in comparing with other bids, but the quality of the job was well worth the extra few dollars.

I spoke with multiple window replacement companies before deciding on Transnational Corp. The First thing that jumped out with this company was their willingness to work around our schedule. Another thing i liked about this company was the up front pricing. I can pick and choose different features of the window. I wanted the triple pane glass and it was easy to see what each option cost and what the total price was. Great customer service and high quality work. If i have to share any negative experience was they left few trash items on my property but, overall great experience.

We had replacement windows installed in our house. They were I really bad shape. Transnational completed the work in four hours. As soon as they finished a strong thunderstorm blew through the area and hit the back of the house with cold winds and rain. For the first time in almost 17 years I could feel the heat coming out of the vent in the master bathroom and there was no cold wind blowing through the windows. The back of the house faces west and the hot afternoon sun beats through the large family room and dining room windows, but we do not feel the heat anymore.

My installer, Jason, did a wonderful job. I cannot remember the sales guys name who came to my home (joke), but he was able to make a lot of suggestions that other guys from other company's did not. I was overall happy with the work and efficiency of Transnational.

In summary - our deck and patio structure is beautiful. We are very happy with it and receive a lot of compliments of its beauty. I would not recommend TransNational for patio work.
Description of Work: We contracted with TransNational to build a deck and a patio roof on our home. While there were many bumps throughout the process, the company Transnational subcontracted the build work to was amazing. We are very happy with the end product of the deck and the structure of the patio. The subcontractors paid HUGE attention to detail, were prompt, professional, and communicated every aspect of the job. In the end, we love our deck and are very pleased with the way it turned out. We would consider hiring TransNational again for build type work. That said, a few tips - we paid HUGE attention to detail at the contract stage - everything from products to install, etc. This proved to be very beneficial on our end. TransNational's PM was a pain to deal with, so I ended up just dealing with the subcontractors directly and that proved to be a good thing. Finally, as part of the patio, we contracted with TransNational to install pavers in a relatively small area around our hot tub. The paver job is terrible. We are incredibly unhappy with the install and lack of attention to detail. I spoke with an employee close to the paver job and was told that Transnational would not order the better fill materials which would have finished the job nicely. Unfortunately I didn't know there was an option, none was communicated to me as an option, so we got the cheapest fill material possible. The pavers wiggle, are already settling unevenly, and leave sand EVERYWHERE which is NOT good for a hot tub. Every time we try to use the hot tub sand is getting everywhere. While I would consider using TransNational to build, I would not recommend them for any sort of patio work (which they knew the full patio was our next big project so I am surprised they didn't ensure this piece was done well). I have a feeling that we will end up tearing up what they put down and starting all over again.

Since we were purchasing the house arrangements were made to meet the realtor at the property, no one showed from TransNational roofing, no phone call either. I attempted to reach the contractor, received a phone call back from someone that only handles the companies emergency service, they said they will relay the message, I also followed up with an email. No phone call back, no email response, we waited at the property for 1 hour. I picked a top rated company that was very close to the property, thinking that they would be more responsive because of the close proximity to their business. I will not consider this company in the future, poor customer service.
Description of Work: I requested an estimate for a roofing project and inspection on Friday, used Angie's list contact provider email service. I sent the contractor a picture of what required their attention, I received a phone call to schedule the appointment. An appointment was scheduled for Saturday at 10:30 am the next day. I informed the scheduler that we have a contract to purchase the house and needed the estimate.

I am sorry for you inconvenience but....are you sure you got the right company? I looked you up from our lead tracker report and don't see your name on file. I also noticed looking at the date you claimed we had an appointment on Saturday April 25; On April 25, 26, and 27th our office was closed for our annual company trip. Is it possible that you might have mistaken us for someone else? If so, please remove the comment and the rating. Thank You.
