"I hired Elite Home Paint to repaint my cabinets. Unfortunately my cabinet doors were in very bad shape, as they were partially sanded down and also had paint stripper poorly applied. As I'm a very black and white person, I reached out to Ariel and sent him photos of the doors, and he said he could do the service. When he got at my house with his crew, they saw the doors, and the service was still confirmed to be possible, even though the quality of the doors were bad. They got to it, and when I got home from work that morning (I work nights, so didn’t see the job completed until the next day), I was very disappointed. They didn’t completely sand down the doors or drawers, so all the marks that were on the units showed up on the paint, very poorly. When I contacted Ariel, he blamed the parts on being damaged and that no one would have done the service for the price he did. I explained to him that at no moment, he told me that the condition would have impacted the end product, as I thought he would properly sand and DIDN’T! As I continued to inspect the unit, I found multiple spots with paint drips, parts completely poorly painted, still white (I painted my cabinets black btw). I tried contacting Ariel to try to settle this peacefully and he basically told me the job was done, and BLOCKED my phone number (I know this because when I call it goes directly to voice mail, and when I use a friends phone, he picked up. Sent a msg through Facebook as well and completely ignored. I would leave it alone if it were just the spots of the poor sanding, but all the white spots is completely unacceptable. Very disappointed with the lack of professionalism and poor service, definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND this company."

Welcome to Absolute Window where we are committed to ABSOLUTE customer satisfaction! We are a local and family owned business with 3 generations of experience. Our office is located in Punta Gorda FL with a small showroom. We specialize in NEW CUSTOM WINDOW AND DOOR INSTALLATION for residential retro-fitting, new construction and commercial jobs. If you are looking to get hurricane impact windows, please invite us out to give you a FREE quote! *we install windows, sliding glass doors, exterior doors and shutters.

"I cannot stress enough how deeply disappointed and frustrated I am with Absolute Windows. We gave them a substantial deposit on a project worth over $250,000 in May 2024, expecting quality and timely work. Instead, we were subjected to delays, incompetence, and outright negligence. They claimed the job was ?finished? in October 2024, but what followed proved that was anything but true. The so-called hurricane-proof doors they installed were done so poorly that they blew open during a Category 5 hurricane, doors that wouldn?t latch, lock, or even stay shut in ordinary winds. This wasn?t a one time issue either. For months, our home was left unsecured. One particularly terrifying moment came when we couldn?t even lock our doors during an active shooter situation in Spanish Point directly behind our home. They claim this was PGTs fault, yet two of their employees drilled out the door, leaving it worse than it was before. "

Pool Service and Repairs. Pool resurfacing and tile/coping work

"The company employees state that they do service work on the weekly report that is not performed; I have seen them come and spend 5 minutes before leaving and stating that they have vacuumed, cleaned filters, brushed the pool, and checked the chemical levels - what they actually did wad to add chlorine and leave. The water in my pump reservoir had been low for a couple weeks and I phoned the company to report that the pump filter needed to be cleaned. Their service person claimed it was clean and upon taking it out, it was full of algae and sand. (see photo) I cleaned it, replaced it, and the pressure and reservoir level returned to normal."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Bradenton, FL

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
