July 19, 2011 Customer Rating: City: Rolling Meadows Il. Project: Replacement Window I would have appreciated the crew leader being insure after the inspection was completed and installation of windows were done. I had trouble explaining to polish speaking workers that caulking was not clean and crisp. I felt they tried to take shortcuts to leave quickly. Customer: Fran Gibbs Mar 10, 2011 Customer Rating: City: Prospect Hts. Il. Project: Replacement Window My window is good so far. We haven\'t had any challenging weather to really put it to the test. But it seems very sound. The two men who installed the window were foreigners and I wasn\'t really able to communicate with them. I do prefer to have someone that I can ask questions to if I needed to.

Project: Replacement Window The process from ordering the windows to the installation was very good. My only reason for rating Creative Exteriors 4 versus 5 was based on one of our bedroom walls being knicked up during installation and saw dust being left throughout the rooms after installation.

Member Since: April 11, 2005 Customer Rating: City: Chicago, IL Project: New Windows - Multiple "Excellent, and very knowledgeable. Harold also pointed out 2010 tax credits I would be eligible for with the widow purchase. The only part of the process that was not seemlesss was scheduling. There was slight disconnects with the manufacturer, and the original install date was missed. Other than this slight scheduling issue, the installers were great and easy to work with. I would definitely do business with them again, and recommend to others." Customer Rating: City: La Grange Park, IL Project: New Windows - Multiple "Harold was prompt in returning calls. Knew his product line, and was very competitive in his pricing. The installation went well without any problems. His installer was prompt and professional. What really sold me on Harold was he didn't have a high pressure sales pitch as the confidence in his product and services was self-evident. He also treated my small job (2 windows) as he would any other large job. I will be using him in the future." Customer: Dan M. Member Since: June 1, 2010 Customer Rating: City: Matteson, IL Project: New Windows - Multiple "They were great to work with. I replaced 7 windows and they are perfect. They look great and are a breeze to clean. They were quick to respond to my request for a quote, quick to measure and as soon as the windows were completed, they came to install. No delays at any point during the project. I would highly recommend Creative Exteriors to anyone looking for windows." Customer: Sarah B.

Very satisfied . Harold knows his stuff about Windows and has been great to work with to date. I signed with Creative Exteriors today, and Harold has already arranged the measurement order. Harold was able to quickly price up the project on the spot. 26 Windows and a patio sliding door. The Windows (Advanced Window Corporation) appear to be superior to most other vinyl replacement window products. Harold clearly presented keys differences, explaining why Advanced products are better. Pricing is competitive (I got two other quotes) but actually, it's better- the product is better. Plus, no money down- I pay only when the job is done. Harold is a no-nonsense, straight shooter. His 30 + years in the business shows. It's no surprise his company is A+ rated. I appreciate being able to deal directly with him as the owner. I'll add to the review when the Windows are installed, but again, so far, very satisfied. Update: Windows were delivered and installed on schedule. Everything looks great and is functioning properly. All waste was hauled off site. The entire job was completed in under 2 days. Harold called to check in during the installation. I called the day after the installation to ask for some extra screw caps. They arrived to me via the factory within 2 days. My neighbors all liked the windows, so I passed out his cards at a neighborhood barbecue the night after the installation was completed.

Creative Exteriors, Inc.'s reply
i returned all of her calls. during the busiest time of the season my installer did not show up for an appointment to install her two windows. as a result of his action i gave her a 15% discount on the price of the contract. we missed the date by two weeks. i said that i was sorry then and i am saying it again. sometimes this happens. i own my own company but i do not own the factory that i buy my windows from. when i sold the job i told her that it would take about 8 weeks for the manufacturer to make the windows. the job was sold just after labor day and installed just before thanksgiving. i don't require or accept a deposit. she paid me after the job was done, nothing before. i do this for all my customers. sorry for the inconvenience. harold fischer creative exteriors inc. 773 973 3000
