"We heard from a mutual friend that Mike was looking to start up his window restoration & repair business again. They had a good experience with him a few years back. We recently purchased an older home which is not in a historic area, but which by age is "historic". We are looking to make improvements on the exterior before starting on the interior. So we are speaking to various contractors about window, siding and roofing. We want to maintain the character of the house. We have looked at vinyl windows, which would in many ways be a good choice, but they are just not the same as the windows we have, which are original. We asked Mike to come out and look at our windows. After looking at the windows, he showed us briefly what he had found, explained his restoration process and what we could expect. He said our windows restored to "as new" condition. And, with a good warranty. We received an estimate to restore all the windows; and, a separate price to restore those most in need of work. At the moment, we are weighing our options, but Mike was knowledgeable and thorough. We will be doing something w/ him in the Spring, once we have reviewed all out options and decided on a budget."

"Very well. It was thorough and covered everything we had requested. Ashlee's attention to detail and accommodations for our tight schedule was excellent."

"Mr. Schwenzer did an excellent job!!"

"After receiving a few other estimates on a sunroom addition plus a screened in porch, we decided to go with Legacy Windows. Mark’s estimate was in the middle of the other estimates and he offered much more flexibility than the other companies we spoke to in terms of customization. He is a great salesman with previous marketing experience. We signed our contract on April 10th. We were told that Mark and his crew were finishing a room and would be able to start in 2-3 weeks with a timeframe of 6-8 weeks for completion of our room addition project. The budget and timeframe worked well for us, so we decided to add replacement windows for the rest of our house (11 windows total). Several weeks went by and our project had not yet started so we followed up with Mark. We were told that there were issues with his current project (did not pass inspection) and it would push our start date back due to the workmanship repairs. During this time period before any work began on our project we would communicate often with Mark to check on the status of our project. The really frustrating thing about working with Mark is his inability to fulfill commitments he would make to us in regards to project timing and when things would be done. Our primary communication with him was via text messages and time after time he would tell us, “we should be starting next week” or “we are going to be making up for lost time quickly” and time would pass and it just wouldn’t happen. Work on our project began when our existing windows were replaced in early June. The foundation for the expansion was finally started in late June and framing started in early July (roughly 3 months after signing the contract). The first crew completed the framing, hired the shingles out, installed some of the cedar siding, and installed one wall of windows. We were seeing decent progress after having such a long wait in the beginning, all the while the commitment issue just kept popping up. We would get a text saying something like, “going to be at the house tomorrow with some stone samples” and he wouldn’t show up. It was annoying, but progress was being made and we were happy with how the expansion was taking shape so we were willing to overlook it. Sometime toward the beginning of August (roughly 4 months after signing the contract), work just stopped. Again, when we would reach out to Mark asking about the status of our project we would be told, “I’ll have an action plan later this afternoon” or “we want to get everything we done we can this week” or “the crew will be there tomorrow and we will be working all week on your project trying to finish”. In the meantime, nothing would be done and we would repeat the process. This went on for over 3 weeks, during this time there was absolutely no work done. Large piles of construction trash and building materials sat in our yard during this time. A great deal of the usable wood began to warp and I am sure that ultimately materials had to be tossed from being left in the elements for so long. After a couple weeks I finally moved a significant portion of the usable wood up onto the deck so it would at least be partially protected. We found out that there was an issue with the electrical and Mark had decided to let Crew #1 go as they were not meeting his expectations, but it was not communicated to us until the end of the over 3 week period. A second crew then arrived who Mark said usually only did work for him on the south side of Indy (we live in Lebanon), but he wanted to get our project back on track. There seemed to be little to no communication between the crew and Mark on what they were supposed to work on so we had to explain to them what was in the contract to be completed. Crew #2 also started making good progress, they finished the cedar siding, got the rest of the windows installed in the sunroom as well as installing the sunroom ceiling. About this time, which was at the beginning of September we had a separate crew come out to do the drywall. Mark recommended them very highly. As it turned out, the drywall was not properly installed or insulated (in some walls there was no insulation), and ultimately it had to be taken down and redone by Crew #2. Crew #2 seemed to be doing a really good job and we were quite pleased with their progress and the quality of work they were doing for us. They were replaced by Crew #3 sometime in mid-September. We were never told why they were replaced, but Crew #3 was much closer to where we lived so I assume that had something to do with it. Much like when Crew #2 started, there seemed to be little communication between Crew #3 and Mark on what they were supposed to work on. So we again had to explain what was in the contract to be completed. All through the process, the commitment issues mentioned previously continued. We were not as happy with the quality of the work done by Crew #3 as we had been by Crew #2 (or even Crew #1), but they did finally complete for the project for us and after (3) failed attempts we finally received a pass from the building inspector on his final inspection. When Crew #3 decided they were finished they never came back, we communicated multiple times with Mark about the remaining punch list items to no avail and ultimately decided to finish most of the small punch list items ourselves instead of waiting any longer for them to finish (clean up, sanding / finishing drywall, etc.). We love the way the sunroom and covered porch area turned out. From contract signing until the end it took a little over six months, but in Mark’s defense he did agree to let us add a brand new window in the dining room of our house to tie everything together at no cost to us as appreciation for our patience. There are things that we liked about Mark’s company and things we didn’t, I have tried to summarize each category as follows: Positives • Price seemed reasonable • It is truly a custom build, no problem with changes we had at any point • Love the way it turned out, looks amazing • Mark seemed to genuinely care about the quality of the product he was delivering to us (he replaced the cedar shakes that had been installed by Crew #1 because he wasn’t happy with the quality Negatives • Our project seldom felt like it was a priority, part of the reason it took so long was because they were over committed on other projects • Commitment Issues (addressed previously) • Construction Trash left in our yard for months • We cleaned up inside more than they did, I understand drywall work is messy. They never swept up any of the dust and they didn’t clean up any of the clumps of dried drywall mud all over the floor. • We finished some of the minor punch list items, just to be done."

"It was great. I've gone back a couple times. They came out within a couple weeks of me purchasing the deal. I had her do something extra that she charged me for but it wasn't much. I spent an extra $20 to $25. She was on time, she did a great job, she was friendly, she returned my phone call immediately to get a date scheduled. During that period it rained the day she was supposed to come and she called to find out if I still needed it done  or if we could postpone it to another time. I postponed it to a time when the weather was better and she agreed. It was my first time using them."

"Frank and his team were very friendly and kind. They were on time and called me when they there was a change in plans. The main reason I rated them lower was on price. After talking to several smaller contractors, they suggested that mold remediation could be done in a less costly way. If you want a team that will be courteous, get the job done on time and professionally, they are very good.

Guest Bathroom Remodel total cost:  Approx. just under $9,000*

This was the 1st time I did a major remodel on my 1st home.  After meeting with several contractors I selected Bob Slater and his company Baths N Such.  Bob was neither the lowest nor the highest price.  He was in my mind, after meeting with him and reading his other Angie?s List Reviews, the most down to earth, professional, considerate, talented and knowledge worthy.  And this high opinion of him was only confirmed again during and after my project was completed.

He was kind enough to provide a list of suggested places where I could go to find tile, plumbing fixtures, etc.  For the tile he suggested the Tile Shop in Indianapolis and they were fabulous, specifically the design consultant Linda, whom Bob has worked with on many occasions.  As I slowly piecemealed this bathroom remodel together ? figuring out what kind of tile, if I wanted decorative shelves in the shower, what kind of faucets, what color paint, if the lighting would work - you name it, I had a question for it - Bob was extremely patient and helpful during the entire process.  He was always very responsive to any messages I left for him and he never made me feel that my questions were silly or unnecessary. 

Because of him I gained the confidence to help put this remodel together and I am very proud of how it turned out. 

After the project was complete he followed up to make sure I was happy with everything.  One thing I didn?t like was the toilet seat that came with the new toilet.  Not Bob?s fault in any way but I just didn?t like the plastic seat.  He had a key to my house and next thing I know I came home and he had changed out the seat!  Truly a business owner that does everything he can to satisfy their customer.  I cannot thank him and his son Shaun enough for the time and care they spent on my project.  They were extremely considerate and cleaned up before they left each day.  I would highly recommend them for any bathroom remodel.   I have already asked Bob to consider doing some remodeling on my master bathroom later this summer. 

*Please keep in mind the total cost of my guest bathroom remodel was partly dependent on the type of fixtures and accessories I wanted.  Cost could have been less or more depending on what I chose.  I picked out and purchased the following but they were installed by Baths n Such: 

 - 2 sink faucets (Lowes; Windemere Brushed Nickel 2 handle Watersense bathroom sink faucet, drain included for $139.00 a piece for total of $278.00 before tax)

 

-  Bathtub and shower faucets (Lowes; $28.15 for universal T-valve and $223.00 for Delta Leland Monitor 14 Series Tub and Shower Trim for total of $251.15 before tax)

 

-  2 mirrors above the double sinks (Lampsplus.com; $261.99 a piece for total of $523.98 before tax; usually you can get free shipping if you spend over a certain amount)

 

-  2 lights fixtures above the 2 mirrors (LightingDirect.com; Thomasville Lighting Roxbury Bathroom Fixture at $88.65 a piece for total of $177.30 before tax; free shipping)   

 

-  Tub/shower door (Basco Shower Enclosures sold thru Plumbers Supply Company in Fishers; Bob graciously picked up for me when order came in ? approx. $700)

 

-  Bathroom paint (Lowes; 1 gallon for about $34)

 

-  Accessories (3 various towel bars all in brushed nickel finish ? towel bar ($44.95), towel rack ($89.95) and towel ring ($25.95) for total of $160.85 (no tax and no shipping) from SignatureHardware.com);  Grab bar from Lowes at $19.98 and toilet paper holder from Lowes approx. $15)

**I also purchased the granite top and sink bowls from Olympia Stone which they installed (but Bob and Baths n Such did remove and dispose of my old vanity top so the new granite top could be installed).   I was able to pick a granite remnant (basically a left over piece of granite from a custom job) which is usually less expensive.  Cost was $790.28 for Olympia to fabricate and install 1 ¼ ?granite remnant for my size vanity.  Also included 2 sink cut out for under mount sink, installation of under mount sink, faucet drillings, 4 ? backsplash and standard edge detail.   The 2 white sink bowls were $100. Total spent was just under $900.00.  Very pleased with how everything turned out with the granite.  Would highly recommend getting a backsplash!
