American Exteriors – Finding the Best Solution to an Old Problem

Old windows can ruin a great home. They are uncomfortable, they look terrible and they may be costing you money. That’s why American Exteriors has worked for over 28 years to develop a process to make finding the best window for your home a great experience for you.

And we have succeeded. Here is a great replacement window testimonial from homeowners who were concerned about finding a quality company to replace their 51 year old windows. They chose American Exteriors for their home improvement project and here’s why:

Dear American Exteriors,

Thank you for swapping our old windows for new, beautiful, energy-efficient ones! As first time home-owners, we had been researching to find a quality company to replace the 51-year-old windows of our house. During this past year we experienced the misfortune of having old, leaky windows; in the winter, we could feel the cold draft coming through the glass, and the sun baked the rooms in the summer. The windows were not only causing discomfort but wreaking havoc on our energy bills! Plus, they were an eye-sore. After meeting with your marketing representative to set up a finance plan and choose colors and styles, the installation process was quick and painless. For scheduling appointments, the phone representatives were courteous and able to set appointments that worked with our busy schedules. The installers were prompt and took the time to make sure the windows were installed and working properly. In the end, we got great-looking, easy-to-use, temperature-regulating windows that really give our aging house the face-lift it needed.

Thanks, American Exteriors! –

An Amazing New Look from American Exteriors

With the arrival of springtime, homeowners are taking full advantage of the opportunity to work with American Exteriors for their home improvement projects. With over 29 years  of experience, homeowners have found working with American Exteriors an experience worth talking about.

Dear American Exteriors,

We had all new siding put on our house in the historical area of the city. The house was built in 1890. The wood was too dry to scrape and re-paint. We had lots of design and scallops on the house. We did not want to loose all the old charm to the house. American exteriors did a two color siding, grey with white trim, corners and freize board. In addition, they put scalloped siding on the front of the house to keep some of the historic charm to the home. The home looks amazing. The workmanship is very good and the work was completed in a short time with no inconvenience to us.

Although this is unexpected from the standpoint of the homeowner, American Exteriors gives thought and care into the type of products which may be best for your home.


Dear American Exteriors,

We have been very pleased with our new windows. The noise level has dropped a lot since thy have been installed. This ia a great benefit because my husband works the graveyard shift and sleeps during the day.

I am also extremely happy with how easy they are to open and clean. No more bent screens or aching back from having to fight to get them out so I can clean them. We are eager to see what kind of difference they will make in our utility bill. We have yet to receive a bill since they have been installed but I can feel a considerable difference in the amount of heat from them.

All in all we are most satisfied with the service as well as the product we have received.

Sincerely,
Jared and Shalean Moore.

According to an article in the Replacement Contractor magazine, referral business can account for up to 42% of a company’s business. Those referrals come from many sources, from family, from friends, co-workers and neighbors, the acquisition of a referral is as powerful as a billboard along a busy highway – and more. Leveraging the relationship of the customer with their network provides those in the network of people whom they may know who have had the work done with the company and their experience with the company. It literally pays to ensure that each customer have an experience that exceeds their expectation.

American Exteriors does not rely on the traditional methods of advertising such as billboards, television commercials or news ads. American Exteriors realizes that a much more valuable resource of expanding is the customers whom we have satisfied with our product and our processes. Customers such as  Tim and Kristi Carson:

Dear American Exteriors,

We have been impressed with the quality and service of our new windows so far. The initial contact with our salesperson was friendly and there was no pressure. He gave a price quote and explained all of the advantages of replacing our windows. We had a couple of windows that really needed to be replaced as there as some wood that certainly needed to be replaced. We were promised that any bad wood would be replaced and not merely covered up.

The installation crew showed up right on schedule and did a marvelous job. All of the windows in the house were replaced in one day. The crew was courteous and cleaned up extremely well.

One of the first things we noticed was the difference in temperatures. Preciously there had been a marked difference between the basement and the main floor. This difference is now almost non-noticeable. We’ve also noticed the difference in the noise level from the outside.

We have been very pleased with the temperature difference already. With the daily temperatures above 100 degrees, this is easy to keep track of. We are anxious to see what impact these new windows have on our utility bills.

The new windows look great and really compliment the exteriors of our home. We are pleased with the product and experience so far and will gladly recommend American Exteriors to our friends and family.

Tim & Kristi Carson

“Gladly recommend American Exteriors to our friends and family.” This is what American Exteriors looks for from each and every homeowner we partner with.

American Exteriors – A Homeowner Review with Elaine

Have you considered having your windows replaced but have just not moved forward? Here is a great homeowner review from just a customer and her advice on when the best time to replace your windows is.

Testimonial:

My name is Elaine and American Exteriors did my windows. They did them in February. From the time that the representative came out to place the order to the time that they measured and installed was a very reasonable time. The young man that came out, there were two of them, to install the windows – they were very professional and to me they were quick and I have no problem with the way they installed the windows. They did it very well and I could tell the difference right away, in the drafts in the windows, it’s just not there that we had before. The ventilation in the house now in the summertime is much better. The house stays cooler and I notice that even in the short time that I had them during the winter and even now the house is warmer.
Sitting in the wintertime, you can feel more of the cold than when you are gone for 8 hours or more a day that I just decided that I needed to do that, I needed to get windows, so…
If you are in the market to buy windows, do it! Because the sooner you do it the more energy you will save whether its winter or summer on the air conditioning. It helps keep the heat out and in the winter it helps keep the heat in. Because those old windows, I had them, this house is 45 years old and I had never got windows before so it’s made a tremendous difference in the heating bill. Of course, I got a new furnace too.
When my brother came to visit, he goes, ‘oh you got new windows’! I mean, that’s the first thing he said when he walked in the door. So they could see a difference on the outlook of the front of the house. How much nicer it looked! And they were inquiring, how was it, have you had them in the winter time yet? They wanted to know how the windows were working.
We don’t get the sun in that window anyway so he isn’t freezing his butt off in the winter anymore. There was frost inside the window and it would be wet so he would touch it and now he loves that window, that’s his spot where he watches everything.
