Get matched with top window a/c unit installers in Belgium, WI

"

After reading Watry Homes reviews on this site, we contacted them in March. I had reached the point where I no longer wanted to maintain the house, and after researching siding options and speaking to other home owners, was seeking a contractor to install what I believed was the best siding solution, Hardy Plank. It was our intention to have the work done before the summer months, to avoid the disruption and scheduling conflicts which inevitably happen in high season.

Scott Watry came out and inspected/measured the house on March 17, presented window options and gave an overview of the process. Within a week we had an estimate and we gave him the commitment assuming the work would begin as soon as materials were received within a few weeks. The project did not get underway, however, until June 4th, the day I was leaving for two weeks of travel. My wife provided daily updates in my absence, and glowing reviews of Scott's workers, specifically, Paul and Rob who came in and installed the windows and doors. I met these guys later and they are true professionals who pay close attention to detail. The siders were also efficient and meticulous in their work, and cleaned up every day. The crew had a few guys, but Roberto, who appeared to be their lead, was very responsive to every question or request, and went out of his way to be accommodating. Splattered paint on a portion of our patio and sill appeared to be their only misstep.

In the end, we have a job that met our expectations in terms of quality, fit and finish. It was the punch list of several small items and requests which was emailed to Scott in mid-June that made the final conclusion of the project a little rocky. It turned out that part of the roof over our den did not receive adequate flashing necessary to prevent a leak that ensued after five days of rain. Scott insisted that it was the result of layers of caulk installed by someone else, inadequately sealing an inside corner of the roof. Dan, who was sent out later to make the repair, said the caulk and sealing had been done by their siders, and was still wet. Scott agreed to place a drywall patch in the interior ceiling where there was water damage, but I spent the better part of a day painting the ceiling, trim and walls to original condition once this was done. This put a damper on an otherwise great experience with Watry.

We totally respect Watry's workers and the diligence they exemplified every day. My feelings about Scott with him not taking ownership of the leak and the damage it caused was unfortunate because it would have been so easy to simply do so without casting blame on others. I also feel it would have been appropriate to personally stop by at the project's conclusion (today), to ensure he had a satisfied customer. As it was, he called and asked me to give a check for final payment to his worker before he left, without asking me if I was completely satisfied. In my view, the size and scope of our project would dictate that he do so. 

However, I would not be hesitant to recommend them as a reference primarily because of his crews.

"We’ve worked with JJB Home Improvements (Jeff) on a number of projects at our home since 2006; totaling more than $20K of work. They were always prompt, and we were always satisfied with their work. I contracted again with JJBHI (Joe) last summer of 2019 to remove & replace 2 insert windows with screens, and the replacement of some beveled cedar siding. Without our knowledge, JJBHI substituted a different vendor for our windows, and they did not provide screens like we had asked for and paid for. I ended up having to locate the supplier, and purchased the screens myself this past July/2020. The majority of the siding work was done in the dark with “flood lights”, and a very small section of the siding was overlooked (see image below, 2 courses above top of left window). I made numerous attempts via emails and phone calls this past Dec./2019 with JJBHI regarding the above, with no response to date. I also made two written requests via USPS, asking JJBHI to reimburse us for the screens, but have not received a response from Jeff or Joe. I would classify this as JJBHI being “penny wise and dollar foolish”; especially since I have more work to do, the screens X2 were only $80 – COST, and “word of mouth can be your best and worst form of advertising”. Sadly, and mistakenly: 1) I gave JJBHI a 60% down payment, waited more than 3 months for them to show up, and 2) I didn’t retain 3% - 5% of my final payment because I had worked with JJBHI (JEFF) in the past, I didn’t think it was necessary, and I trusted them – BIG MISTAKE."

"I have worked with contractors in the past but, never had such kind, courteous, punctual, and patient young men as Jovon and Jeremy. They worked with me on the situation I was in. My neighbor was going to install my storm door for free but he ended up in a cast due to a work injury. So now I'm stuck. I contact Angi to get some Quotes. Jovon set up the appointment. Arrived on time. Just toward the end of the install we discover I had ordered the door to wide I had a 36" and I needed a 32". So then I went online to find the right door. Jovon and Jeremy gave me another appointment for the next day, They arrived at 10 AM and went out of their way to take me back to Menards to exchange the door. I Will RECOMMEND these wonderful guys to every one I hear of that needs work done. Jovon and Jeremy I Thank you for doing a great job at an affordable price. ."

"Prompt, reliable service. Owner was easy to work with and foreman with his colleague were courteous and efficient. Since it was a nice day, my windows were open and I could hear their conversations and problem solving...this was all done very professionally. Before they left they cleaned up the area (spotless) and provided recommendations for keeping the gutters clean. Do not hesitate to hire this company."

"Arrived at appointed time to give me an estimate. I had originally called just to request skincoating, but when he was there he said they could paint it too. I explained my painter did not want to do the work because it was a little tricky, with some extra finishing techniques. We watched the how-to video from the paint manufacturer and he felt confident that they could do the work.
We agreed on a price.
The skincoating was completed over the course of 4 days, allowing drying time. It looked fine...not perfect, but fine. He said he was going to match the finish on the rest of the walls in my house, but there is MUCH more sand, most likely to hide the imperfections. Other than that it is pretty good for the most part. Then Saturday arrived and it was the day to paint. They were to arrive at 10 and they did indeed arrive at 10:15. I asked the son, who was doing the work, if he had seen the video and read the instructions on how to apply the paint. He replied that his dad had gone over everything with him. I left the house at 10:50 and they were just about to begin painting the first coat. At 12:20 I received a message saying that the second coat was not going on very well. (The textured finish coat.) I replied that there was supposed to be a minimum of two hours dry time between coats. He said that they had waited the designated time. I replied that was impossible because they had not yet begun a little over an hour earlier. They agreed to come back the next day to finish.
The next morning, I showed the son the directions, where it clearly said that two base coats were needed for lighter colors. So they applied another base coat, waited two hours, and painted the finish.
To say it was sloppy is a compliment. The ceiling color was on the walls, the wall color was on the ceiling, and there were areas of no paint whatsoever. On top of that, the front of my vanity had several deep scratches that were not there before. They claim, of course, that they did not do the damage and it was already there. The vanity had been installed, brand new, in December, and there were no scratches, but I chose not to argue with them. The painter who was doing the rest of my interior touched up the work they had done, and it is acceptable at this point. 
My final bill was somewhat higher than agreed upon, due to the extra coat, I imagine, but at that point I just wanted them gone so I did not quibble. In summary, the dry wall work was fine...I would not have them paint anything, however. The texture finish may have been somewhat challenging, but that does not explain totally missing areas without paint at all, and carelessness and sloppy work. Oh, and he blamed me for "that wasn't as easy as you made it out to be" when he had watched the video and read the instructions himself. I am not a professional...I certainly did not portray it as difficult or hard, just showed him the how-to instructions.

"It turned out very well. They braced the inside basement wall and they installed a drainage system on the outside of the basement. They're very diligent workers and they were on time."

"Did leave me a list of things the chimney needed, around $1000 worth. When I called another company to do the cap, I did not mention what was needed, and that installer said everything was fine. I don't know if Fireplace Doctor was extra vigilant or if they were looking for work. Overall, what I had them do was done timely and at the agreed price.
