William Davey came out to our home and gave us a complete walk thru and explanation of what was needed to replace our windows. He sat down and wrote out a detailed estimate. My husband and I decided to change the type of windows we wanted to purchase and William came back out to the house to write up a new estimate. At that time we signed a contract to have the work done. The windows were installed on November 19. The crew was punctual and professional. They completed the job in one day and we were very satisfied. They were very neat and after their departure, the yard was left in the same condition they found it. William came out to the house to check on the job. Overall we were completely satisfied and would recommend this company.
Description of Work: New double pane windows were installed in the two upper levels of my home.

They were hard to schedule, they had to re-schedule 3 times, that was just a little bit okay, I understand we are all busy, that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Ultimately, I did not really pursue it because I did not see enough reviews and they have not been doing windows long enough. I might go back to them and have the work done through them. I was not confident at the time to pull the trigger.
Description of Work: I did get an estimate from Fred's Best Windows, Doors and Siding a few months ago. They were going to replace a wooden window with a vinyl window.

The work was done very professionally and cleanly as promised. The product is as functional now as it was the day it was put in. I am completely satisfied with the doors and window. After the doors and window were installed, the sales reps returned to inspect the work and answer any concerns I had with the prodcts. I had explained to the sales persons that I do not like to be bombarded with phone calls wanting me to use them for other projects after they have completed one job. I told them if I was satisfied with the work, I would call them again if they didn't "bug" me. They have not called, and I am considering using them for additional jobs in the spring. I would hightly recommend this company for the replacement of sliding glass doors and windows.
Description of Work: I had 2 sliding glass doors and a bay windows replaced in my home.

After a very positive, prior experience with William Davey and the folks at Fred's Best, my wife and I called William when we were interested in having a new entry door installed, placing gutter guards on our gutters (our yard is riddled with large trees), as well as finish protecting all exposed wood trim with LifeTime Trim?. After placing the call, William promptly came to our home and measured the linear feet of gutters as well as the measurements for our new entry door w/ sidelights. As for our gutter guards, William had a crew dispatched to our home within 3 business days and they were installed in a matter of hours. Our "leaves in the gutters" nightmare is now a thing of the past - thank you! Upon measuring our front door, William noted that our sidelights were 14" wide whereas the sidelights we selected were 12" wide. Given this, he explained that his team would have to frame in the sides and this would add costs to the overall job (made complete sense to us - it would not only require more time/labor but also more material). The door and sidelights we opted to move forward with was a high quality fiberglass door manufactured by a company called Rocco Building Supplies, LLC ( www.****)After placing our order with William, he advised us that it would take approximately 4 weeks for the door to be manufactured and ready for install. Approximately 3 1/2 weeks after ordering our new door, it was available to be installed and my wife and I scheduled our installation for the following Monday. At the same time the door was installed, William's team also installed the Lifetime Trim?. The team showed up promptly at 8am while I was on my way out to work, but my wife was home the entire day and she gave me updates throughout the day. She mentioned that the team started working at 8:30am, the old front door was removed within 90 minutes or so, the new door w/ sidelights was installed by 12 noon, and the entire project was completed prior to me returning home from work (approx. 5:30pm). Immediately after getting home, I took 10-20 minutes to inspect the work completed and the quality/craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. My wife mentioned that the team of folks who completed the work at our home was very professional and pleasant to deal with. This was the same impression I was left with during our prior experience with the Fred's Best team. We are a repeat Fred's Best client and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering home remodeling work that fits within the company's suite of services offered.
Description of Work: We purchased/installed a brand new front entry door w/ sidelights, had LifeTime Trim™ installed on exposed wood trim around our garage and front porch, and had gutter guards installed on our entire house. Our door was purchased directly from a company based out of Harrisonburg, VA (per William's recommendation as he had previously visited the manufacturer's plant and attested to the high quality of the fiberglass door).

No one showed up for the appointment and no one called to reschedule or apologize for not coming. What a waste of an hour on a weekend! How rude. I would never do business with this company, especially because all those neighbors said the same thing happened to them -- no one ever showed or called about the appointment!
Description of Work: This company sent a representative door-to-door in my neighborhood. We have a clearly posted sign stating that solicitors are prohibited in our neighborhood. I told the representative this and she said someone else told her the same thing. I listened to her sales pitch, even though my family's dinner was overflowing on the stove, and then made an appointment. She kept using the names of my neighbors that they either had done work for, or have appointments to consult on future work. It was unclear, and I didn't press her for the info. But it was clear that she was using their names to get me to bite, because she must have mentioned the same 4 people's names about 20 times. It was really too obvious. After checking Angie's list, i made an appointment because I figured, why not get an opinion on several things we needed done on the house. They seemed eager to provide a free estimate.

I was not aware that we ever had an appointment with this family. I apologize most sincerely and am looking into the matter. For the record, it is NOT our policy to not follow up on prospective clients with whom appointments have been set. On the contrary, we typically call to verify appointments before the fact, and arrive on time or before to all appointments. I again offer my most humble apology and will call (member) personally.

First, I went online last night and looked at some of the trim from the company that they ordered from, the price they quoted me was around $900, the actual material was something like $100.00. I called the owner and stated the cost discrepancy between what they were charging me and the cost for the material was way to high. He said, "there must have been a clerical mistake", and that he'll get back to me because he was with a customer. This raised some flags with me and my husband. So he called me back, and I explained, and he said all the trim is going to cost $975. He said it was a mistake on his part. I ordered a door and looked at that. I don't know what kind of door I ordered, because it wasn't on the contract, so I couldn't look that up. He promised to send me an email confirming our new agreement that the entire bill for the trim would be $975, and I'm still awaiting this email. I've sent the company an email through their website, and tried calling their answering service, and have not heard anything back from them. When I called their answering service, I was transferred to a voice mail. The voice mail was either full or non accessible, and I was unable to leave a message.
Description of Work: So far I've purchase the installation and trim. I hired them to replace a front door, and the side panels on the door. There is decorative trim around the door and they were going to replace that, and install new trim.

Response from Fred's Best Windows Doors and Siding
While I am quite thankful to have had the opportunity to meet personally with Member, and to have earned their confidence, their posted comments are not quite accurate! To clarify: I met with them personally about mid-morning of the day in question, and proposed a beautiful new front door at a cost virtually no other contractor could match, given it's high quality and low-to-midline pricing. They were very happy with the door recommendation, and the pricing. Because Member was having a new floor installed imminently, careful project coordination was of primary importance. I offered to expedite the production/acquisition/installation cycle to accommodate her, at no additional cost, and she happily accepted. I wrote a detailed contract, listing Brand name, model number, door size, door swing, and all other relevant specifications. She and her husband both carefully read the contract, and both ratified it without objection. They provided a down payment in the form of check for more than the requisite 50%, at their discretion. She then asked me to replace some custom molded trim around her front door. I told her that because it is a custom material that i would need to call a supplier for pricing. The counter salesperson who took my call mistakenly misquoted the pricing for the components in question. I was unaware of that error and quoted Mrs Blufer accordingly. I wrote a detailed contract, listing Brand name, model numbers, sizes, and all other relevant specifications. She and her husband both carefully read the contract, and both ratified it without objection. They again provided a check for the down payment for more than the requisite 50%, at their discretion. At about 930 that evening, Member called me on my personal cell phone with a concern regarding the pricing on the custom exterior door moldings. After I listened carefully to her concerns, I agreed to look into the matter, and call her right back. Upon review, I found that the pricing was indeed too high and immediately called her to let her know that we would make the necessary adjustment in their favor, and that I would email confirmation of same mid morning the next day, given that it was now so late. She said she understood, thanked me for handling the matter so easily and then hung up She called FIRST thing the next morning around 8am, and, because I was already engaged with another client, i asked my staff to let her know that i would call her right back. She then left voicemail messages on my office phone AND cell phone AND then emailed me from her personal email AND from our company website all within about 5 minutes!! Her messages stated that She no longer wanted to proceed with the jobs, further stated that they had issued a "stop payment" order on the checks and cited my lack of responsiveness to her 2 calls and 2 email messages! I find this a bit disingenuous, given that I had carefully explained to her the previous evening that the confirmation email would be sent mid-morning the following day. I am also somewhat incredulous at being labeled as "unresponsive", especially in light of the fact that she sent two emails and made two phone calls within five minutes of each other, not allowing much time for response. It simply seems to me that they changed their mind about proceeding with the project, and seemed to feel the need to unfairly fix the blame on me and/or my firm. I had my customer service manager call Member at about 815 the morning in question to let her know that we valued her as a client and would do whatever we could to try to rectify things to make her happy. At this point she informed my customer service manager that there was nothing that we could do, the decision had been made, and the project was to be terminated. Since it is our company policy not to deposit checks upon receipt, but the wait at least the requisite three business days, we immediately shredded her checks, disposed of the remains, and emailed her confirmation of the same, extending our most humble apologies. I have called and apologized personally to the Member's for the pricing error, and have offered to discount any future service they might need. It is my sincere hope that, in time, we can again earn their confidence, and perhaps assist them with some future project. Regretfully, William Davey, Principal

Was introduced to the company through a rep who came to the door and scheduled an appointment to meet with the owner. The appointment was set for 3 days from then. Met with the owner of the company who then walked around the house to see what work we were interested in. We then set down at the table and we immediately formed a bond as he was quite personable and of course very knowledgeable about the work that was to be performed and the materials that were to be used. The work was scheduled to begin about one week later. The workers showed up on time and were very professional. We were very pleased with the workmanship and will definitely contact them soon to perform additional work.

A few months after we moved into our new house (well new to us), I noticed water was leaking into wet bar in the basement. After trying to figure out where it was coming, I moved the rug from in front of french doors that go onto the deck and noticed water had been coming in through the bottom seals on the door. The hard wood floors were warped and the water was leaking through the cracks and into the wet bar. After having the insurance company fix the wet bar and the hard wood floors, I was responsible for the source which was the doors. The repair people said it was the seals so I had them replaced. The next storm water was still coming in. I called a few companies to come give me quotes to see if they could fix the doors or what it would cost to have them replaced. When William came out he was the most prepared of the other two companies I got quotes from. He was very knowledgable of the issue and listened to my concerns about not wanting any water in my house. He was not the cheapest quote I got but he was also quoting my a better quality door and even had photos of the type of door it would be. Something one of the other guys didn't. And he offered a LIFETIME labor guarantee on the work they do. Again this is something the other two did not. We went with William and waited the three weeks for the door to be ordered and delivered. When it came time for installation there was a mixup with the time but it got resolved and was worth the quality of work that was done. His crew that came out removed the old doors and frame. The old door was apparently installed bad because there was water damaged wood and the old threshold actually slanted inward toward the house versus alway. His crew replaced the rotted wood and added a metal layer that made it slope outwards and incase any water does come in near the base it would roll out on the metal instead of soaking into the wood. The new doors are in and look great. It has only rained softy once since the install but everything seems to be working perfectly. The doors are triple paned and have the grids and built-in blinds. He also got us the fiberglass door so we dont have to worry about warping, cracking, or dents. All in all, William runs a great company and really takes care of his customers. I will be sure to add a update in a couple of months to let everyone know how they are holding up months down the line.

gutter repair
  + -1 more
I just moved into our new house in February and was told that the gutters had already been cleaned. A few months later I noticed that they were already clogged and water was overflowing the sides and actually seaping through between the edge of roof and beginning of the gutters. William came out and told me that while I could just get them cleaned again he recommended I get some gutter covers installed. The main reason behind it was that while it would be more expensive up front, it would save me money within a few years since with all the trees around the house, I would have to get the gutters cleaned about two or three times a year. I was worried about getting screens put on the gutters due to the "helicopter" type leaves that fall around my house and what was being washed out through the gutter spouts. He assured me that the "helicopter" leaves would not get stuck in the screens. To back up his claim he told me that he offers a guaranteed buyback of the gutters if they do not work as he advertised. He leave had his guys clean the gutters and reattach the gutter that was coming lose at no additional charge. Its been a month and a few storms with no more water leaking between the gutter and the roof or overflowing. Also some leaves have already started to fall due to the extreme heat and not clogging yet. I will be sure to update this after the all falls leaves have fallen.
Description of Work: Cleaned and fixed gutters and added gutter screen to keep them from getting clogged.

I spoke with William on Thursday morning, July 19th, and after explaining my problem, he came out that afternoon and quoted me a price. He originally said they would be out Saturday morning to replace my gutters but he managed to get a crew out the next day. They look great! Now after dreading the rain for 2 years, I am actually looking forward to it!!
