Get matched with top exterior shutters installers and replacers in Buffalo, NY

"American Exterior replaced my shed roof,and they did an excellent job. The sales rep arrived at my home on time and provided a quote for job within a short time The quote was well within my budget so I scheduled the job. The employees showed up on time and had the job completed within 3 hours or so. When finished they did an excellent job of cleaning up the job site. I wouldn’t hesitate to have American Exteriors do more work at my home"

"Sabino was great to work with. He was professional and thorough when initially inspecting roof. He completed a major job with tear off of layers of asphalt and cedar shingles. He installed the new roof with quality products. Most importantly he worked well with us in a honest manner when issues arose to rebuild a chimney and replace beams on a rotting porch. His prices were very reasonable. He did a solid job cleaning up the area when finished. It is never an easy experience to have an old roof torn off and replaced, but Sabino and his workers made the experience positive."

"I contacted AAA Home Improvement to resolve a problem with squirrels and birds building nests in my soffit located on the second story. Squirrels chewed their way in the side soffit and corner post. Access was extremely difficult for repair. Scott’s crew Keith and Ray remedied the situation sealing access and replaced the corner sliding post. They also worked magic replacing older siding on my home that had been damaged with multiple screw holes. Mixing and matching old and new siding was a challenge but Keith and Ray accomplished the impossible with professional wisdom and expertise. If you have a sliding job or soffit issues I would highly recommend contacting AAA Home Improvement (Scott) to resolve your issue or project."

In a nutshell:

Carpentry:  Excellent

Communications skills: Abysmal.

I joined Angie's list due to work this man had performed at a new neighbor's home a block from us.  She did warn me of "difficulty"  in communicating with him due to a hearing or other issue and all was via e-mail with exception of recent text messages.

First contact was a year ago.  He had several personal health and family issues over this year  which led to his beginning the job  yesterday.  He was to have been here on Monday but ran into an issue of inspector timing on another job so began yesterday morning after he apologized and then said he would be here all day until totally finished on Tuesday. 

He arrived at about 9:30am--all seemed great, things were progressing well. My husband had already had to do some work which was necessary due to recent rain and the inability of Mr. Andrews to come when originally hoped (he was ill)  Mr. Andrews seemed pleased with what had been done and with the materials we had there although my husband had apparently gotten the wrong insulation.  Mr. Andrews spoke to my husband on the phone and I took photos of the opening to more fully explain to my husband what was happening/why the insulation he bought was the wrong kind.  Mr. Andrews did leave for a short while yesterday to get some shims.  I went outside at about 3 pm--curious to see the progress. About half of the work was done, the work area was still set up but he and his son were not there.  I came around to the front of the house to see Mr. Andrews and his son begin driving away.  I walked up to front of yard near the street where they pulled over to the curb.  It was very hot and muggy, Mr. Andrews told me he couldn't work any more that day--was not up to it health wise since he was just very ill for a couple of weeks.  I am an RN and fully understood and told him his health came first. They said they would be back in the morning.   I did think it was odd that they did not make any effort to tell me or text me before they were driving away.  It was a total coincidence that I happened to come out when I did.  It ended up raining about 15 min. later so no harm done. Chalk another one up to poor communication skills.

I had to work today.  My husband had to stay and work from home due to the wood work schedule change.  My husband is a professional engineer.  He is also a very kind gentleman and offered to get some ply wood for Mr. Andrews to stand on in the pachysandra next to the last board to be fixed rather than get his feet stuck in the plants.   Mr.. Andrews COMPLETELY and erroneously accused my husband of not liking him walking in our plants as well as criticizing his work.  I know my husband.  He is NOT AT ALL that kind of person.  I have actually been told in the past that he is actually pretty easy to work with for an engineer. He asks questions because he likes to know the details of how it all works--especially from an expert carpenter.   Mr.. Andrews dropped the board, told my husband he was done and wasn't going to finish the job, he couldn't work with us since my husband didn't like him walking in the plants and he believed my husband was criticizing his work.  My husband tried to tell the man this was not at all the case.  Mr. Andrew's sons were both there and apparently understood the truth  that COMPLETELY was misinterpreted by Mr. Andrews.  

There were other communications issues along the way that caused head scratching.  We thought Mr. Andrews was going to give us a list of needed materials for us to order.  He did not.  He did tell us he was a labor only carpenter.  We did, however originally think after the initial contact that Mr. Andrews would at least let us know what materials he required. We thought we would get a written estimate.  We did not receive anything in writing except what was in our Angie's List e-mails. We chalked that up to our own inexperience and possible misinterpretation of what was said in our in-person original contact with him so very long ago. We trusted him.

Given the rain of the last 3 weeks, Mr. Andrew's recent illness and the gaping hole in the side of the house-my husband did much more work on this project than he wanted or ever expected to .  This included all measurements and figuring out what and where to find the materials needed (the clap board is an unusual width) My husband had to put up sheathing and fix the roof line to protect from the rain. It took hours he doesn't have to spare. The bulk of the clap board wood work was left for Mr. Andrews who had said all was great when he got here yesterday.  If we had not seen Mr. Andrew's work and also had had a deadline of any kind, we would not have had him work for us in the beginning.  I feel we gave him a LOT of slack/understanding given the issues he had and how much time we waited.  

Today, was totally mind boggling!  The man just packed up and left. He apparently can not handle any questions or curiosity  He did come back telling my husband his sons told him to take whatever we decided his work was worth.  The original labor proposal was for $750.00. We furnished/paid for all materials.  Mr. Andrews told my husband the work last board  would be about $50.00..  The final payment was $700. 

Again, we will not have him for anything ever again--given his bizarre reaction to my husband, we are sure he would not come back.  The work he did finish was good.  His communications skills are very poor.

"Needed some holes dug for installing post for a new deck I'm building. Vin and his crew came to my place and they had it done in no time. Glad they were willing to do the small job as most places I contacted would only do it if they also did the deck. Highly recommend Vin for anything and I will be contacting him if/when I need help with any future project."

"The pad was great, but the storage bags for the pad and/or additional leaf was cheap and not the correct size. They tear and do not cover the whole pad."

"I was thoroughly impressed with Jim and his service. He was able to come out and give me a free estimate for the work. I agreed to it and he came back a few days later to perform the service.
He spent approximately 5 hours and was very reasonably priced. He did a great job replacing the holes in the wall and texturing the wall. Can't even tell it was repaired.
He was very professional, even putting down plastic and hanging plastic from the ceiling while working. There was no mess to clean up after him.
I was also very impressed that he went to Home Depot to get the floor molding that I needed and actually showed me the receipt to bill me for it. Most companies would charge a 50% markup and just include that cost in the service charge, but Jim didn't do that. I gave him an extra 20% on the home depot receipt just because I felt bad that he wasn't making any money off of it.
Jim did a phenomenal job and we would use him again in a heartbeat.

"Deanna and Robert showed up to my home within an hour of contacting them to give me a quote. They showed up a day later and did a phenomenal job. My living room looks brand new now. Great Job! Thank You"
