We were supposed to get new porch windows in April. They were finally installed in July. We almost had a contractor nightmare. At the end of the day, it was just a really bad dream. Our salesman Josh want AWOL and we had to track down the owner. There were delays and delays. No one was forthcoming with information. When the installers did show up I got a call from the owner telling us that Josh had drastically underpriced the job and that they wanted an additional deposit. Yeah, right. We told him no. The installers showed up and proceeded to work extremely slowly. They would show up one day. Skip a day. Show up in the late afternoon to work two hours. I stayed home one day and discovered that one of the installers was this really, really old guy -- ancient. I wouldn't have been surprised if he told me he installed the original screens on the porch -- in 1923. The job is now done but I had to spend over two hours cleaning the windows since they left them a mess. We're just glad the job is done and we weren't swindled.
