"I was a little nervous about ordering windows on the internet using measurements I'd taken myself, but I loved the design on the website so, initially I only ordered 2 windows to check the quality, my ability to measure accurately and the company's ability to build to my measurements. Jeff, the salesman I dealt with was attentive without being overwhelming and the first order was delivered in about 4 weeks. The windows were exactly what I was looking for and fitting them was a breeze. I followed up with another order for the remaining 13 windows in my porch and again, they arrived quickly, were of great quality, exactly to size and easy to fit. Looking forward to see how they last their first winter."

"It went great. A man measured the windows to be replaced and gave us a price. We went with them and on the scheduled they a crew of three arrived on time and had the old windows removed and the new window totally installed in a 3 to 4 hours. They did a good clean up too."

"Overall, the window-storm door-trim project was rather successful, not without snags/problems. The first snag arose after I reminded Jaymey that the window openings on the south side were to receive the double hung windows. Jaymey immediately stated the instructions to one of his workers, who about a half-hour later (after Jaymey had left to check on another project) began to install a sliding window on the south side. Nonetheless, I spotted the mistake early, so that turned out okay. (It pays to keep a close eye on things.) The second snag arose from defective caulk. As I planned to paint the interior trim, paintable caulk was needed between the joints. However, a bad batch of caulk proved not to be paintable (save for one tube). I complained and Jaymey sent out an employee. The employee looked at the absence of adhesion and said that the interior trim was vinyl. I told him that it was wood. When he was convinced that it was wood, I said that the easiest fix was to replace the interior trim. He said that he was not comfortable with that and left. Nonetheless, after I spent several hours sanding off the caulk from the wood surface, the window installation turned out fine. The next snag was in the placement of the door handle-lock fixture in the storm door to the back yard entrance. Apparently, measurements weren’t taken prior to installing the fixture with the result that the plunger could not be engaged by using a key on the outside. Jaymey sent out an employee with a saw to shorten the plunger. After he shortened it and after I spent about 30 to 45 minutes filing down the sharp edges, the storm door installation too turned out fine. Another shortcoming was a string of quite noticeable scratches on the front entry door. My wife said that they were not there before work was done on the outside storm door. Nonetheless, the front door had some minor scratches from Christmas wreath decorations and likely should be repainted anyway. Finally, there was a blotch of something on one of the screens, but weather apparently has removed it. So, overall, everything turned out not badly, in fact, quite good. I like Jaymey. Although most of his crew seem to me not to be overly endowed with talent (JC is an exception, he seems quite capable), if you keep a close eye on things, the work should turn out okay. With this caveat, I would recommend Dornbusch Construction. I also should remark that I may have Dornbusch Construction do more work in the future. I should also add that Jaymey always returns telephone calls and has a pleasant manner."

"Dan responded within a day and set up an appointment for assessing the damage.  He was very professional and clear about the costs and time table after seeing the job.  His crew was punctual and there has been no leaking since they fixed it. <br />"

"They did a good job."

"The project went well from original contact to completion of job. Ike and his partner came back when all snow was completed to sweep area with magnets to pick up any loose nails and staplers. Very good job."

"We just completed installing a motorized retractable awning from [*** Link removed ***] and are super pleased with the quality of the build, appearance and customer support.? This Italian-designed, engineered and manufactured awning is assembled and shipped from RetractableAwnings.com Florida plant, so if you need assistance with the install, you should contact a local handyman, carpenter or contractor.? Ours is a Palermo Plus, 16 ft. wide, with an 11 ft.-10 in. projection.? The Internet salesperson, Eric Scop, V.P., really worked with us to understand all the options and get fabric swatches.? We ultimately selected a combination Rain/Sun sensor and Vibration sensor to automatically retract the awning in case of heavy rain or excessive wind.? I spoke with Rocky, their installation expert, for advice on preparing the ledger board to attach the awning to our vinyl sided home, right below the soffit.? His advice was instrumental in making the install go so well.? Further, the awning arrived already programmed to the Soliris transmitter and the motor limit switches were also set.? It shipped in a fiberboard box (this one was about 17 ft long and 1 ft x 1 ft square, weighing over 200 lbs.), which was extremely tough.? The truck driver ignored the box orientation stickers and used a hand truck to move it from the center, rather than two hand trucks, one at each end, per the clear placarding on the box.? Despite this, it arrived in great shape, other than a couple minor paint scratches, which we will fix with touchup paint they are sending at no charge.? While the enclosed wall brackets were different from those described in the installation manual (an improved design), installing them was no problem. An extra bracket was included, which we also installed as this will be a large ?sail? on the side of the house and we want it to stay there. We extend our sincere thanks to the team at RetractableAwnings.com, and for those review sites that accept photographs, we include the following photo."

"We wish we'd found Dave earlier in the building process. We would have had him take care of the trim and other carpentry as well as doing all the floors. We can't say enough good things about this man's work ethic. He does the work of two people, but he does it better than any other two people we've met. He made the solid oak flooring for our home, installed it, and finished it. He also laid the tile in our entryway, mud room, and two bathrooms (including a marble & slate shower stall.) After the house was "completed", we brought Dave back to help us work on the walkout level. He is the only person we've rehired."

"Accommodated me by coming during a busy time for them. Excellent service and professional workers."

"<em>Please do not let the address of Conservatory Craftsmen deter you.  They work all around the country and have many customers on the East coast and Northeast.</em> <br /> We were horrified at what Hurricane Sandy did to our 1892 home in the fall of 2012.  After months of negotiation with our insurance company, we were able to settle on a greenhouse replacement.  The insurance company did not want to cover the full cost of the replacement because, understandably, a greenhouse is an unusual product and most had little experience with an attached greenhouse made to go with a restored Victorian home. <br /> Here's how it will probably go for you if you don't have an architect or designer working for you:  You will find 'kits' that look ok but cost tens of thousands of dollars.  The contractors who install these are generally skilled local guys who may or may not have worked together.  If there is a problem it will be up to the homeowner or the GC or architect to negotiate over any issues that arise. because there are many disparate parties involved. <br /> On the other end of the spectrum are the high end products, of which CC is one.  These are all custom products with knowledgable and dedicated business people at the helm.  The cost will reflect this. <br /> The difference is that Conservatory Craftsmen never relegated us to a brochure; took the time and energy over months to explain who their product (made in England) was different than many others, to justify the high cost, and to educate us about the different technical aspects of owning, building and caring for a greenhouse. <br /> It was this passion and care that Jim demonstrated that convinced us; once we knew we were going high end, we knew Jim and his company was the right choice. Jim travels with a team that lives together away from home during weeks when they are servicing and building greenhouses and solariums; they know each other, spend time together, understand Jim's product completely. I will never have to talk to anyone else (except my electrician and the mason who will repair the stucco walls) about this product. <br /> Our greenhouse was particularly large and we were committed to the footprint because of the epay floor and stucco walls.  It measures about 24' by 14' and cost in the area of $80 with very few extras. <br /> The windows themselves are a work of art:  while locked you can adjust them to allow air flow,  the door screen (our only extra) magically appears when we want it to.  The upper windows wind open easily with a removable 'opener' (I am sure there is a word for this; it fits intot he upper window and screws the vents open and closed)   <br /> Jim was the most patient man ever.  He explained his product, got to know us, respected our time and privacy and was a complete pleasure.  He loves his greenhouses, his family helps run this business professionally, and he is without doubt the pied piper of greenhouses.  See his website and you'll see some beautiful examples that ourshine our simple version.  We recommend Jim and CC unequivocally! <br />"
