Dear Sir:
We are extremely satisfied with the recent window installation in our sunroom. The installation tem of Phillip Berry and Kevin Bostic did a great job. Their workmanship is very professional and they are very courteous.
We really appreciate a job well done. Please give them a sincere thank you from us as they deserve to be recognized as your employees of the month/quarter.
Again, thanks for a super team effort from start to finish including Jeff Hoffmann, Phillip Berry and Kevin Bostic. We will definitely keep you at the top of our list for any future projects.

From James Clark
Jeffrey Monsein,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both your salesman, Jeff Hoffman and the installer, George Berryman for their excellent help in getting our window unit replaced.
Prior to selecting the Aluminum Company, we researched four companies and had their salesmen come to our house to show us their products and answer our questions. We were far more impressed with Jeff than any of the others based on his ability to answer questions regarding the quality of your product with real samples, installation procedures and a no nonsense price quote. We also greatly appreciated his no pressure approach. Jeff is a valuable representative of your company.
Additionally, I had the opportunity to watch the installation of our replacement window unit by George Berryman and was impressed with his excellent workmanship. The removal of the old unit, replacement of water damaged wood and installation of the new unit were done by a real professional.
Finally, the new unit is exactly what we had hoped for and we are expecting many years of enjoyment.
Respectfully,
James Clark Durham, NC

From Beth Clarke
Good morning,
I just had an awning installed over the back door of my house by your company.
I had tried working with 2 other companies before calling you – they were referrals from friends. I started this process in May of last year.
I was getting very discouraged. It was very difficult getting calls back, and setting appointments with these two other companies. Then once we finally were able to get together (with me taking time off from work to meet their representatives,) I could not get quotes from them. The second company after many phone calls made by me leaving messages saying, “May I get a quote please? You came out to my house on . . . date.” I finally received a phone message saying the job was too small for them. I never could get the first company to call me back.
I saw your big flyer in the paper advertising your open house, and called. From that day forward the whole experience of getting my awning was like a wonderful dream! Everyone was very courteous and professional. My calls were returned promptly. Appointments were made promptly. I was met at my home after hours and on time by every Aluminum Company staff member that I worked with (Kevin, Mark and June.) On the day my awning was due to be installed, we had bad weather. Mark called me to let me know he would not be out that day (which I had assumed, but very much appreciated his professionalism and courtesy in calling.) I arrived home the next night and my awning was up!!! I assumed it would be several weeks before he would be able to get back to me and reschedule the installation. I was thrilled. Then, June came to my house to make sure I was happy! Such incredible customer service. I cannot remember the last time I was treated so well as a customer.
I was even more thrilled when I saw how beautifully my awning was manufactured. When I look out my back door, even though I am looking at the underside of the awning – it is as nicely finished as the outer portion. Lovely, lovely, quality work.
I will absolutely refer any and everyone I know to your company with great confidence. And when I save the money to replace my back door – I look forward to working with you all again.
Thank you very, very much.

Jeff Monsein, Owner
The Aluminum Company of North Carolina
1335 Hamlin Road
Durham NC 27604
Dear Jeff:
We are the happy Cary homeowners who have had a complete makeover of our 14 year old home’s exterior. The craftsmanship, professionalism, service and products we received were outstanding.
Jarek Tezky and his talented crew did a great job installing our beautiful vinyl replacement windows, entrance door, French doors and, of course, vinyl siding. We have never worked
with such a professional and courteous group of hard working young men in our many years
as homeowners. Your roofing and gutter helmet installation crews are also to be
commended for their hard work and professionalism.
We’re grateful to Joe, our project manger, who kept things running, explained and
Demonstrated how our products work, and answered all our questions. He’s a great addition
to the Aluminum Company of NC’s team.
Our neighbors’ reactions to the makeover have been extremely positive. Everyone
comments on how great things look, and who did the work. Without hesitation we
recommend a call to the Aluminum Company of NC or a visit to your web site.
Just this morning a neighbor stopped me on my way to work to complement our home’s
new look. I proudly pointed out the features, quality and workmanship. I also encouraged a
visit to your web site for more product information.
In closing, we can’t thank our sales rep Danny Newman enough for his help and patience in pulling this project together. We also appreciate Lyndon lining things up to fit our schedules; and June checking with us to make sure we were pleased with the work.
It was our pleasure to work with you on this project. We will call on you any time we have remodeling work to be done.
Best,
Deborah and Don
Cary, NC |

Our windows were installed today by Curt. Even though the outside trim still needs to be done, I wanted to tell you how pleased we are already with the results. The windows look great and they cut down on the outside noise (and A/C compressor) significantly. I’m really pleased that we decided to go with your company.
Curt worked hard, fast and knows what he’s doing.Thanks for setting this up for us.

Dear Aluminum Company
We are so happy with the improvements that were made to our house by your staff. We did not realize how beautiful our house now looked until we compared the before and after pictures side by side. We have had several neighbors stop by to say how pretty the house now looks. From Dallas and the time he worked with us to pick everything out and give us advice; to J. T. and the roofing crew; to Steve and the beautiful work he accomplished with our windows, doors, new deck and shutters; to the Crain Brothers and the wonderful paint job; to the gutter crew and how they worked with us to place the drains just where we needed them; to Lyndon, your wonderful scheduler; to Sami and his ability to wind everything up; to June and how she explained all the warranty details; and to Julie and the other ladies who always answered our calls with smiles that you can see right through the phone.
This has been a wonderful experience. The only thing that could of made it any better would have been if it was free!!!!! Ha Ha.We are so glad that we chose the Aluminum Company to handle our improvements. I had always told my wife that when we made improvements we were going to call Jeff Monsein and the Aluminum Company because I had been hearing their radio ads for over 20-years as I drove back and forth from Raleigh to work. We were not sure if we should use you or not, but the initial visit by Dallas was enough for us. I believe he was there for about two hours when we decided to get the ball rolling. Your reputation preceded you and we were not scared to use your services.You now have two walking and living advertisers for the Aluminum Company. We are so happy and satisfied with our experience and thanks again for all the hard work and dedication.
Sincerely,
Jeff and Sandy

Thank
you so much for the Gift Certificate to the Outback
restaurant......
Dear Mr. Monsein,
Thank you so much for the Gift Certificate to the
Outback restaurant. We didn't expect it at all.
When we told Denise she should contact you, it was
because we had had such a good experience with you
when our work was done.
But it's nice to know that some businesses do more
than make the sale and forget you after that. You
have a good product, treat your customers with respect,
and make people keep on appreciating how you conduct
your business.
Thanks again,
Barbara and Keith

Thank
you for the great job that you did replacing the wooden
double doors.....
Thank you for the great job that you
did replacing the wooden double doors at Sorrell's
Grove Church and replacing the awning and posts
outside the door. We were impressed with your reliability
as we have been in the past when you replaced windows
for us. You were at the church on the day that you
promised you would be there to begin the installation.
We appreciate your professionalism. Every detail
of your contract was carried out to the letter.
All of the work was done very neatly both inside
and outside the building. All debris from our old
doors and awning was removed from the site. We are
very proud to show off the work that you have done
here.
We also appreciate you coming to adjust the doors
and change the screws to enhance the functionality
and appearance even more. Your customer service
has been exceptional.
On Sunday, the congregation was very pleased to
enter the building and find that the doors opened
easily and looked so nice. We feel that the building
is much more secure with the new doors. We are also
proud of the new awning and posts outside the door.
Thank you again for your professionalism in your
work and in your excellent customer service. We
have recommended you to many of our family members
and friends and will continue to do so in the future.
Please refer prospective customers to us for references.
Regards,
Sorrell's Grove Baptist Church

An
actual enjoyable experience......
Dear Scott:
Lucy and I felt that we would be remiss if we did
not express our gratitude to you for making a potentially
onerous project into an actual enjoyable experience.
Your professional and friendly attitude, aside from
your obvious experienced skills, has made our home
re-siding decision a most positive one.
Again, our sincere gratitude and best wishes to
you for the future.
Sincerely,
Dan and Lucy

Bob
and I want to let you know that we are very pleased
with your work....
Dear Mr. Monsein,
June was here this morning to pick up our check
for our new roof and gutters. Bob and I want to
let you know that we are very pleased with your
work, and your people. And, now, Bob won't have
to be getting up on the roof to clean out the gutters
of acorns, leaves, sticks, hickory nuts etc. to
keep them flowing. All I have to do if this happens
is to call YOU!!
When you came out to give us a price you told us
you had good people - well you do. From the Hispanic
men that did the roof - the gutter people - carpenters,
and your inside people.
Wanda, Susan of course June. All were more curiously
and helpful each time I spoke with them.
It was a pleasure doing business with you - and
in the future if we need more work done Aluminum
Co will be our only phone call.
Sincerely,
Robert and Loleta

Mr.
Bobby Williams that did the hard labor work on putting
the siding on my house.....
Dear Jeff,
Mr. Bobby Williams that did the hard labor work
on putting the siding on my house did a wonderful
job. He was courteous, polite and did a good job.
I am well pleased with the hard work he did on my
home. He really did a good job. I hope he didn't
get sick from the three layer Ceriman chocolate
cake that I made for him on the day he finished
the job. Did he bring you a slice of the cake? The
next time you see him give him a pat on the back.
Sincerely,

He
gave us the confidence to go with his company.....
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Letter of Recommendation for
Aluminum Company of North Carolina
Our home is 25-years old and required substantial
outside work on the siding and front stoop. We contracted
for vinyl siding and other work on the front stoop
with Aluminum Company of North Carolina. Jeff Monsein
did the interview and quote for us. He gave us the
confidence to go with his company. The interview
was superbly pleasant and productive. With this
work we had an excellent home improvement experience.
The earlier work of a previous contractor on the
front stoop was corrected to give a symmetrical
shape and long lasting weatherproof surface using
aluminum and vinyl siding techniques. This work
demonstrates the talent, attention to detail, and
superb skills of Aluminum Company of North Carolina.
The front, sides and underneath surface of the stoop
were removed and redone. The result is astounding.
The next phase of the work was the vinyl siding.
Our house is a two-story house with an unusual number
of corners and windows. Three of the windows are
Pella bay windows that offer an additional challenge
for vinyl siding construction. The construction
crew of Andrew and Jeremy White had all of the tools
necessary to do a superb and safe job. The bending,
cutting, laddering, scaffolding, and perhaps most
importantly the optical beam leveling equipment
showed their investment in their profession. The
result demonstrated their skills, attention to detail
and a genuine pride in a job well done.
We are writing this to convey our thanks to Andrew
and Jeremy White for their superb work in a very
cold season of the year. People walk of drive by
slowly marveling at the beauty of our new home that
Andrew and Jeremy created.
We enjoyed our experience with Aluminum Company
of North Carolina and wish to recommend and commend
this company for their work.
Thank you,
Robert and Tim Elaine

I
would like to express our compliments.....
Dear Jeff:
I would like to express our compliments to all of
the people who have represented your company during
the course of this undertaking. We are especially
appreciative of the work by Chris and his crew,
and also the roofers, the gutter installers, and
the garage door installer. They got the job done
with the highest professional standards in spite
of the difficult weather conditions and a few logistic
hangups. A special pat on the back goes to Dallas.
He wade our initial decision to go with your company
an easy one, and in every step along the way, he
did what was necessary to retain our confidence
in the project. June's visit, in which she was clearly
motivated to see that the job was done correctly,
was also appreciated.
All of your people whom I had occasion to speak
with showed a common trait - a desire to be of help,
and to overcome any obstacle in order to insure
a happy outcome.
All of this, of course, reflects well on the boss,
so I would like to thank you for their performance,
as well as for your personal attention to the achievement
of our expectations.
I will, in the next few days (if ever the sun comes
out), be taking digital photos of the house, and
will email them to you. Feel free to use them, possibly
with the "before" images I sent to you
earlier, in any way you wish.
With this understanding behind us, we are now looking
at other potential projects to enhance our home.
You can be sure that we will be happy to discuss
these with the Aluminum Company as we develop our
plans.
Very best regards,
Bob

my associates.

Please
accept our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful garden
window.....
Dear Mr. Monsein:
Please accept our heartfelt thanks for the wonderful
garden window that your company installed last week
at our home. It's absolutely stunning.
The two gentlemen that did the work are to be commended
on their workmanship. I believe one was Jeff and
I am sorry I cannot remember the other name. Both
were a pleasure to be around. They were on time,
courteous and the ultimate professionals.
We will certainly extol the praises of your company
to all our friends. Thank you for the quality of
work that you insist on, and last, but not least,
your dedication in providing excellent customer
service.
May we wish you and your staff continued success
in the coming year.
Yours truly,
Bel and Harry

My
wife and I recently had all of the windows replaced
in our home.....
Dear Mr. Monsein,
My wife and I recently had all of the windows replaced
in our home. We would like to praise everyone at
the Aluminum Company of North Caroling that was
involved in the sale, installation, and post installation
follow-up. We were impressed with the professional
and courteous manner in which every aspect of this
process was handled. Specifically we would like
to mention Danny Newman and our installation team
(George and Tim). Danny worked very closely with
my wife and I to arrive at a reasonable estimate
for the scope of work and continued to follow up
with us when we had questions regarding the replacement
window units and options that we had selected.
Your installation team was incredible. In today's
service industry it is difficult to find people
that are as committed to quality and customer satisfaction
as the team that completed our job. George and Tim
both took time to answer our questions about the
installation and to involve us in decisions. We
were extremely pleased with the outcome of the work
that was completed. I would not hesitate to recommend
your company and it's services based on our recent
experiences.
Again we are very satisfied with the results and
our home already appears to be more comfortable
and quieter. We look forward to many years of enjoyment
and low maintenance.
Sincerely,
Jim

This letter is to thank you for your patience and
commendable service.....
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to thank you for your patience and
commendable service you've given me through the
years. Your willingness to help me manage my funds
by paying in installments is worth mentioning. Let
me bestow my "Customer Satisfaction" to
you!
The remaining balance is proudly enclosed.
Thanks again for your service!

We
are writing this letter to let you know what a wonderful
job your company did.....
To The Aluminum Company of North Carolina,
We are writing this letter to let you know what
a wonderful job your company did with Vinyl Siding
on our home this past week. From beginning to end,
your company was a pleasure to work with. Our salesman,
Dallas was great, he worked with us to insure that
we were happy with our decision. The poor guy stood
out in the pouring rain measuring our house even
though we gave him the option of making it another
day when the weather was better. Your company kept
in touch with us, letting us know when the time
was coming closer for the actual job to begin. It
was only a couple of weeks off schedule due to the
hurricane what had put them behind, but that was
not a problem, in fact the extra time was welcomed
because we were finishing up a new deck.
The three man crew that was sent to do the job was
headed by Tommy Adkins and they were wonderful.
Tommy was very professional and extremely courteous
at all times. He answered all my questions patiently
and completely. His workmanship is to be commended
too, including the way they cleaned up, they were
true professionals. The house looks wonderful and
we are very happy with the outcome. If we decide
to do any more work to the house, we will definitely
call your company and will specifically request
that Tommy Adkins and his crew do the job!
Thanks to everyone, you were great.
Sincerely,
Tom and Linda

Thank
you for a job well done!.....
Gentlemen,
Thank you for a job well done! I appreciate the
return of your service crew on Friday to correct
the corner light left out of adjustment at my duplex.
Thanks again for your quick response. Also, Rob
is a great service technician.
Warmest regards,
Frank

We
wanted to write to let you know what a wonderful experience
we had.....
Dear Jeff,
We wanted to write to let you know what a wonderful
experience we had with our window installation at
Ocean Isle Beach. We cannot thank you enough for
sending a very special installer - Steven. He was
conscientious, hard working, dedicated and a pure
joy to work with. It is not often in today' busy
construction times that customers have such a good
experience as ours. Please know that you are lucky
to have him as a member of your team, and we cannot
say enough about the quality job he did for us.
Sincerely,
Steven and Debbie

Thanks
for all your efforts to assist us with our house changes.....
Dear Jeff, June, Matt, Jim, Clint
and Wanda,
Thanks for all your efforts to assist us with our
house changes. We are very happy with our choice
of vertical siding. The Mallard Half Lite door and
the change in our front entry area looks great!
The Monterey Sand/Antique White combination works
well with our brick. Thanks for all your patience
dealing with our deliberations and questions! We
appreciate all your hard work.

This
letter is late, but we want to express our appreciation
for the work.....
Dear Mr. Monsein,
This letter is late, but we want to express our
appreciation for the work John Hopkins and Kevin
did our house. John and Kevin were very professional
and took care of each and every concern we had with
the installation of our siding. Our house looks
great and is now maintenance free. Knowing that
we never have to paint it again is a RELIEF!
George and I are very pleased with the product and
installation. We will definitely request John to
do any further work on our house in the future.
We know that we made the right choice in dealing
with The Aluminum Company from the salesman, Danny
Newman, the crew and June.
We will highly recommend The Aluminum Company of
North Carolina to anyone.
Sincerely,
George and Patricia
Raleigh

They did an excellent job and were very friendly and

They are to be commended.

Just
a note to say thank you for sending John to install
our new storm door.....
Dear Mr. Monsein,
Just a note to say thank you for sending John to
install our new storm door. It was a pleasure to
have him at our home. He has such a good personality.
He did an excellent job, and we are very pleased
with it. It would be so nice to have more people
in this world like him. The two young men that installed
our gutters did an excellent job also and we are
pleased.
It has been a pleasure dealing with your company,
and hope we can recommend your company to our friends.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Clark

Kim
and I would like to express our appreciation.....
Dear Jeff,
Kim and I would like to express our appreciation
for the work recently done on our home. We have
already received many compliments. We are quite
impressed with the improvement to the look of our
home and the fact that we have been able, immediately,
to lower our thermostat 5 degrees. When the heat
is on the house warms up much quicker than before.
I found your crew to be very efficient and their
attention to detail impressive. They really seem
to care about their work and they were very respectful
to us. The two gentlemen who came this week to install
gutters were amazing in the time and quality of
their work. And it was cold. We certainly will take
every advantage to recommend your company and answer
any question about our experience.
We just can not get over the before and after of
this project. We only have one significant regret
- we should have done this many years ago.
Again, thank you.
Sincerely,
Wayne and Kim

I
appreciate the attention and customer service.....
Dear Sir or Madam:
Please find a check for the balance of my account.
I appreciate the attention and customer service
exhibited by June and Jeff when I experienced some
difficulty. I am very satisfied with the final results.
(I can not tell you how nice it is to see gutters
with no pine straw in them after the rain we had
last week.)

In
April we engaged the Aluminum Company of North Carolina.....
Mr. Monsein:
In April we engaged the Aluminum Company of North
Carolina to enclose a screened porch with eight
sliding doors and one entry door.
We are greatly pleased with the finished product
and want to express our appreciation to Charles
and Tim for the excellent job they did.
You should be very proud to have two installers
as conscientious and courteous as Charles, Tim and
their helper, Brian.
If we should need your service again, we would request
this team of workers.
Thanks for such an excellent product and wonderful
service.
Satisfied customers,

We
have been so pleased with your company.....
To: Jeff Monsein
We have been so pleased with your company and everyone
we have dealt with. Dallas came out to the house
twice before we made our decision. He went over
every detail and explained everything patiently.
June has checked on the job several times, even
coming to the house personally. She is a friendly,
professional person who is very knowledgeable.
Byoung Yun has been a pleasure to work with. He
has listened patiently, changing if need be, or
giving his input. A lot of his suggestions were
taken and turned out really well, especially on
our dormers. His craftsmanship is so meticulous
which is so important in the detail part of installing
vinyl siding. He is a positive person and always
so professional.
We take great pride in our home and we believe we
could not have chosen a better company. Our house
looks wonderful and we could not be happier.
Sincerely,
Steve and Joyce

We
would like to take this opportunity to express our
appreciation.....
Dear Mr. Monsein:
We would like to take this opportunity to express
our appreciation for the work done by your company
at our home recently. The job included roof shingle
replacement, window replacement, vinyl siding and
gutters.
Jésus and his roofing crew were finished
in one day, and we did not get a chance to meet
them. However, the work they did was checked out
thoroughly when we returned home, and we are satisfied.
We were especially pleased with the work of Bobby
Williams and his crew - Cody and Pine. Our house
is over 40-years old and some of the woodwork is
in bad shape. They never complained and never made
us feel that it was anything less than ordinary
"day's work" for them.
All of the work was completed in a timely, professional
manner, and we will not hesitate to recommend your
company to anyone.
Sincerely,
Jerry and Ruth

This
letter is written on behalf of Tim and George.....
Dear Jeff,
This letter is written on behalf of Tim and George
[for their work of installing doors on a Durham
home].
These two gentlemen were the epitome of professionalism
They were prompt, went about their business with
knowledge and expertise. They did not waste time.
They were always courteous and respectful and considerate
of our belongings. They were neat in their work
and always cleaned up debris after the job for a
particular day was completed. They explained what
they were doing and explained the operations of
the locking mechanisms etc.
We believe that people should be commended for work
well done as quickly as we would issue a complaint
about poor job. We are happy to say our experience
with Tim and George was pleasant and satisfactory.
Many neighbors and friends have commented on the
quality of the work done.
Kudos to George and Tim!

More
than a year ago I spoke personally with you on the
phone.....
Dear Mr. Monsein,
More than a year ago I spoke personally with you
on the phone regarding window screens for my home,
the siding for which The Aluminum Company completed
several months prior. At that time you helped me
problem-solve how to obtain effective screens when
there was some irregularity in the dimensions of
the window openings. You suggested I call Rice's
Glass and to let you know the outcome.
Rice's Glass did an excellent job, including remaking
2 ill-fitting screens at no extra charge.
Not only was your advice good, but I was additionally
struck by your taking the time to help me solve
the problem when there would be no financial gain
for your company and by your caring enough to want
to know the outcome.
My appreciation comes late; however, I want you
to know how impressed and grateful I am to you for
responding so thoughtfully and effectively - simply
out of kindness - a seemingly rare commodity in
the business world these days.
Thank you!

Several
years ago your company did much work for us.....
Jeff Monsein -
Several years ago your company did much work for
us, including windows, siding, a glass door, basement
door, and last but not least, the beautiful vinyl
siding. I think I wrote someone about the good customer
service we received from June Crook.
Now, years later when we needed someone to check
a window, I learned that John is living proof that
customer service is alive and well at The Aluminum
Company of North Carolina. He was prompt and polite.
He made us feel he was here to help us. During the
last few years most workers don't even know about
customer service. John really deserves a pat on
the back and give him an A+. Thanks for having such
good workers.
Thanks

How
Nice It Is to Do Business With A Company That Still
Cares.....
Dear Mr. Monsein,
I want you to know
how nice it is to do business with a company that
still cares. It became clear to me from my first
call to your company that you were different. I
wanted to talk to a salesperson with expertise that
could give me a quote on vinyl siding after answering
some questions about my unique building and how
to cover it.
I spoke to Wanda that day. She was very nice and
helpful and put me immediately in touch with Danny
Newman. Danny agreed to stop by my place the next
morning, early, as I was going on a trip soon and
wouldn't be available. He showed up on time, we
discussed the situation, he answered all my questions
and gave me a quote. I called him again a day or
so later and he worked a little on the numbers and
we agreed to a contract. All very pleasant, no pressure
or other sales tricks, just straight talk which
I appreciated.
I then received a letter dated April 12, 2001 thanking
me for my order and providing great information
about what to expect in preparation for the job.
I found the letter very useful and informative.
Next thing I know Lanny called to see if I could
accept a material delivery on Thursday with work
to begin the next day. The material was delivered
as scheduled and the installation crew stopped by
to assure the material was on site and to look at
the job site. They began work the next day as scheduled.
I can't say enough about the crew. All three of
them, Bobby Penrose, Johnny Hopkins, and Wilbur
White were excellent in every respect. I asked them
to do a couple of things a certain way and they
were very happy to do so. They went the EXTRA MILE
so to speak to make sure it was right and I was
happy. They cleaned up daily and at the completion
of the work. They were obviously very serious about
doing a good job and I couldn't be more pleased
with the results. They didn't even mind my "looking
over their shoulder" all the time they were here.
They were a wonderful crew!
Then to top it all off I get a call from June. She
wanted to know if I was happy with the job etc.
This before the crew has left the premises, I was
very impressed. I know this letter has been a bit
long winded and for that I apologize, however, I
wouldn't go on like this if I wasn't pleased. I
will be happy to use your company in the future
and please feel free to use me as a reference. Once
again, every aspect of this project with your company
has been very professional, and enjoyable.
Thank you so
very much

Why
it is important to let business owners know when the
job is done right.
Jeff,
After years
in the service industry myself, I know how quickly
clients will let you know when your service doesn't
meet their expectations. That is why it is important
to let business owners know when the job is done
right. My wife, Betsy, and I have contracted your
organization to do improvements on two of our properties.
About two years ago you placed gutter helmets on
our new home in Cary, a simple task done well. That
type of quality prompted our call when we were prepared
to completely remodel Betsy's homestead in Star,
NC. The old home needed quite a bit of work. Renovations
were complicated by the fact that the house was
completely custom built, nothing was standard and
no two measurements were the same. Siding, replacement
windows, sliding doors, hinge doors, gutters, and
gutter helmets would have been a sizeable job for
anyone, but termite damage in the detached garage
and the original construction being performed during
the Cuban Missile Crisis made this a particularly
complicated task.
The Aluminum
Company of NC assigned the right crew to the task.
Bill Hanna and his team have been excellent representatives
of your company, as well as the best group of technicians
I have had the good fortune to work on any property
I have ever owned. Bill's work ethic has obviously
rubbed off on all of his people, because you would
be hard pressed to find harder working people anywhere.
They have taken a hard task, performed in an outstanding
manner, never complained, and made us feel like
they loved the work. This has truly been a rare
experience for my wife and me.
It is common
to find clauses in contracts about work being performed
in a workman like manner. This simply means that
the work will be performed in industry acceptable
standards. If the workmen are in the Bill Hanna
crew, industry standards aren't good enough. He
and his crew are true Craftsmen that take pride
in their work, settling for almost or "good enough"
isn't enough. Thank you for sending us the best
you have, and in our estimation, the best in the
business! Betsy thanked Bill for making the house
appearance as beautiful as it was when she was growing
up. In a joking context, Bill said, "It looks better
than it did when you were growing up." As an unbiased
party, I believe Bill is exactly right, the house
looks better than it has ever looked before. It
is a true showplace and your company couldn't have
a better advertisement for its work product. I don't
know how many people have stopped to look at the
house or get your telephone number off the yard
sign, but it is certainly alot. Rest assured that
anyone asking for a recommendation would get the
best possible from me and from Betsy.
Thank you for a job well done and thank you for
sending Bill Hanna and his crew.

Good
service is rare these days...
We want to thank
you again and express our appreciation for the excellent
job you all did with the measuring correctly, ordering,
and installing the 4 doors in our home last week.
You all came when you said you would, you were on
time, and returned to make sure everything was allright.
Your good service is very rare these days!
I am sure we will be calling you again!!

A
very professional and nice experience...
Dallas,
Reed and Ricky
are great craftsmen and were a pleasure to work
with, along with yourself. This has been a very
professional and nice experience for my wife and
I.
Please feel free to use us as a reference.
|
A
perfect match....
We are very
pleased with the job and in particular want to say
how much we appreciated your installers pointing
out that the color (charcoal, that I approved) didn't
match the shingles. The bronze they ended up installing
is a perfect match. Sorry about the two trips, but
it's nice to see that some folks want to get it
done right, not just get it done. We will certainly
look to you for any future exterior improvements.

When
Things Go Wrong....
Dear Mr. Monsein,
Thank you for
a job well done.
Your company
recently replaced the roof on our home and installed
gutter helmets. Now that the project is finished,
the roof looks great and your crew removed every
scrap of construction debris and left our yard as
neat as a pin. We feel we really got what we paid
for and our check is enclosed. The real purpose
of this letter, however, is to compliment your company's
policy when things go wrong. Soon after the roof
was installed, it became obvious that some of the
shingles you installed were defective. Some were
curled and others discolored. I never had a single
moment's doubt that your folks would make it right,
but I was surprised when Lanny Pratt told us that
the entire job would be done over. Within a few
days the crew returned, peeled off the entire roof-not
just the defective shingles-and put on a new roof
in record time. Not once, during this entire process,
did I hear any of your folks grumble or complain.
It's easy to be a good company when everything goes
right but you proved that a really good company
comes through for the customer when problems arise.
Give a well-deserved
pat on the back to Dallas, Lanny, and Evaristo.
They are execellent representatives of your company.

I
know this note is past due.....
I know this note is
past due, but I want to express my appreciation
for the work your people did on my house. The response
of those who see it for the first time is very complementary.
Most people have never seen vertical siding before
and are amazed how beautiful it looks. IT DOES LOOK
GORGEOUS!! I also want to complement and express
my appreciation to Bill Hanna and his crew. They
were hard working young men and seemed to get along
quite well with each other. I even got drawn in
on some of the kidding and cutting up. They were
very professional in their work. I also want to
personally thank Bill for all the trouble he went
through to make sure the door and storm doors were
properly installed. He made it a personal concern
indicating that he had his heart in the job and
was not satisfied just to throw it up with no concern
of how it looked or how it fit. I know you are delighted
to have a man working for you who has your interest
and the reputation of your company in mind at heart.
Most of all, Jeff, I appreciate the way you worked
with me on cost and materials. You are a gracious
man! I want to you that the reason I you the job
is because I sensed you really wanted to do the
work. This in comparison with other companies who
came out to the site, looked at what had to be done,
gave me quote and drove off with the trailing words:
"Call me when your ready." Your visit with my wife
and me made us feel you would do it right or not
at all. You gave us great confidence and your crew
seemed to have the same attitude.
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for everything.

The
outside is now maintenance free.....
It's finished!!!
And it looks wonderful!!! We are so pleased with
the outcome of our vinyl siding and replacement
window installation. We look forward to spending
many, many, years in this home knowing the outside
is now maintenance free. We would also like to mention
one of your employees, Mr. Charles Allen, greatly
impressed us with his professionlism--both personally
and in his work. He is a great asset to your company
and represents you highly. He meticulously took
care of each and every concern we had with the installation.
We are quite pleased with his work! We know that
we made the right choice in dealing with The Aluminum
Company, and that you really do place a high emphasis
on customer satisfaction and quality workmanship.
Again, Thank
you.
|
A
pleasure dealing with your company.....
We just want
you to know how pleased we are with the new vinyl
windows you arranged to have installed in our home.
Reed, who did the installation, was very personable
and did a first class job. We were most impressed
with the professionalism in your company, from your
presentation to us, to the receptionist who took
our call when we returned from vacation, to the
scheduler, and lastly Reed with his impecable craftsmanship.
It has been a pleasure dealing with your company.
We most certainly will give our highest recommendation
to others who are contemplating window replacement.

Squirrel
Problems....
We would just
like to say how much we appreciate your service
since we installed your gutter helmets. My husband
is unable to climb anymore, and we are having problems
with squirrels. Kerry did an excellent job of cleaning
the gutters and repairing some damage done by the
squirrels~a job we could not do but thanks to her
it was taken care of and done graciously. Thanks
again.

A
dream come true.
My wife and
I are regular listeners to WPTF radio. On Saturday,
before Mother's Day, your company was advertising
a free bay or bow window. Having a bay window in
the den of our home had been a dream of my wife's
for some time. I went by and registered for the
window. I also had the opportunity to chat with
you, Bart, and others who were there. On Wednesday
or Thursday of the next week we received a call
from Wanda, saying we had won! Besides being surprised
and very thankful for the gift, we met Dallas. Dallas
measured for the installation of this window, and
while he was there we decided to have more windows
replaced. The work has been done and Matt and Jim
were very professional in their installation. We
are very apprecative to you and your Company, and
we are also very pleased with everything throughout.
|
A
company that cares about doing things right...
We are about
at the end of installation of new windows and shutters
in our house, and we are most pleased. The windows
are more than satisfactory, and the installation
was professional in every way. Everyone we have
dealt with at The Aluminum Company has been helpful
and courteous, estimated timelines have been met,
and the only misunderstanding resolved in a prompt
and generous manner. We are entirely satisfied,
and will not hesitate to recommend your company
to anyone. Also to the point, it has been very pleasant
to actually talk to a person right away every time
we've called your offices. It is nice to do business
with people who obviously care about doing things
right. Thanks to everyone who had a part in our
job.

Letter
of appreciation.....
Back in April
2000, my wife and I talked about having gutters
and downspouts added to our home. When I go to work
I listen to radio station WPTF (680) and heard a
commercial from the Aluminum Company of North Carolina.
I jotted down the number and called inquiring about
an estimate. The receptionist said she would have
a sales representative contact me for a time and
date. The next day Dallas Spruill called me and
agreed to meet the following night after my wife
and I got home from work. Dallas provided us with
all the information on the gutters and downspouts
to include the helmet guard system. He explained
the advantages of this system and said if we ever
had to clean the gutters the Aluminum Company would
come out and do the job. Needless to say we were
impressed. We inquired about the possibility of
enlarging our front porch and having it covered.
Dallas took some measurements and provided us with
the cost estimate and said financing could be arranged.
We had several work crews for the various projects
and all were top notch. They took the time to answer
any questions we had and were always polite and
courteous. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding
and as a result, our home has been greatly enhanced.
We can't say thank you enough, everyone was great
to deal with, we strongly recommend the Aluminum
Company to anyone thinking about adding value to
their home.
|
Exceeding
our expectations....
I had some doubts
of the outcome when we wrote you concerning the
failure of the seal on our seventeen year-old replacement
windows. Thanks for exceeding our expectations!!
I have related the story to several friends and
family and they too were surprised at your company's
handling of our problem. They commented that it's
hard to find a company that stands behind its warranty.
I am sure you will be hearing from some of them
in the future.
John did an
excellent and professional installation, and the
follow-up phone calls were also appreciated.
|
Professionalism
and Courtesy
My wife and
I want to thank you for the professional way in
which you conduct your business. As you know we
recently had your company do an entire home for
us here in Oxford. As you will recall there were
many unique features to the home which required
detailed craftsmanship and custom work. Both Matt
and Jim did a great job and all the while maintaining
a courteous attitude even though we occasionally
interrupted to make sure the details we wanted were
being carried out. We are more then satisfied with
the quality, value, and appearance. We have heard
many compliments on the job. We have further been
impressed with the follow up and promptness at which
you react to calls. Please feel free to use us for
references should the need arise. Thank you again
for a job well done.

That's
Dedication!!!...
My
wife and I wanted to let you all know how pleased
we are with the job your company did for us. Your
company has been nothing but helpful through the
entire job. Rodney your sales person was very professional,
timely, and really knew his product. We felt like
we were being helped rather than "sold." Linda was
very helpful in getting our job set up and making
sure we got the earliest start date possible. Mike
and his crew were also very professional and timely.
They worked very hard every day to complete a very
large job. They even worked one day in the rain.
That's dedication!!! There were a few items that
needed attention after the job was completed, and
once again Mike and his crew were more than happy
to take care of all my concerns.
I know we made
the right choice with the Aluminum Company of NC.
You guys are the best!!

Craftsmanship
and Attention to Detail...
I would like to take
this opportunity to thank your company for the excellent
job replacing my old windows with vinyl windows.
Not only is the quality of the windows apparent,
but the workmanship shown during the installation
was, without a doubt, much better than I had ever
hoped for. To our family Steve K. was a valued craftsman
and someone we could put our faith and trust in.
Our 50-year old log home certainily presented certain
problems and "peculiarities," but Steve took them
all in stride and turned out a beautiful finished
product. In addition to his craftsmanship and attention
to detail, I was also impressed with the way he
expressed his satisfaction with, and loyalty to,
The Aluminum Co. That sense of job satisfaction
seems to be a rarity these days. If the other folks
at your company feel this way (and I'm sure they
do,) it's easy to see why you are able to maintain
such a successful organization.
Once again,
our thanks for an excellent job and best wishes
for your continued success.
|
Dedicated
to Customer Service and Quality...
We would like
to take this opportunity to tell you how pleased
we are with the windows and siding that The Aluminum
Company supplied for our residence. We feel that
the quality of the material and the installation
is excellent. The most impressive part of the total
package is the professional manner that everyone
at The Aluminum Company of North Carolina demonstrated
from the start to finish of this project. We would
like to personally thank Dallas Spruill for his
help in the selection of the material and his dedication
to our best interest. The installation team of Reed
Van Benshoten and John Biero completed a difficult
project on time and with a dedication to quality
that is evident in every aspect of our residence.
In today's environment it is refreshing to find
a company that is dedicated to Customer Service
and Quality. We would be pleased if you would like
to use our home to show prospective clients.
|
We
Can Count on The Aluminum Company...
We have used the Aluminum
Company several times and we have been very impressed
with the quality of your work and your excellent
customer service. I am writing this letter to inform
you that we are particularly impressed with your
employee Rick Schultz. He has been sent to our home
serveral times on service calls. He is prompt, courteous,
pleasant, and, best of all, whatever the problem
was - it is fixed after you send Rick out. You are
lucky to have him.
It's nice to
know that when we need work done on our house we
can count on the Aluminum Company.

A
Job Well Done...
I
normally do not take the time to write a letter
to complement someone for a job well done.However,
this time is an exception and well deserved. We
had 22 windows replaced in ourhome during January
1998. Not only were we completely satisfied with
the windows but the service was outstanding. Everyone
at your business was very courteous and a delight
to deal with. Following are a few examples of extra
customer service that your people provided that
is hard to find in this day and age: We were dead
set against wrapping the trim. I inspected some
other homes that had vinyl replacement windows installed
and had the trim wrapped with aluminum and I did
not care for the look of the trim being nailed in
the front. I wanted the windows installed from the
inside to retain the wood look. The salesman, Dallas
Sprull, said "I think you will appreciate our wrapping
once you see how we do it. Let us wrap one window
trim then you decide if you want wrapping. We can
unwrap it if you decide it's not what you prefer."
This was the first example of extra effort to help
us make the right decision.
Once
we decided to wrap one window trim as a test we
were not sure what color or texture of wrap to choose.
I called June Crook, the office manager, to discuss
the options. Without any hesitation she said, "I
can be at your place in 30 minutes with the samples
to hold against your house and this will be the
best way to make the right decision." She was here
in 25 minutes. We were so pleased with the wrapping
test we decided to proceed to have them all wrapped.
Again, extra effort to please the customer.
The installer,
Steve Kuparinen, well I can't say enough to praise
this man. He was neat, courteous, fun and did an
outstanding job. I really mean "OUTSTANDING". He
provided advise and assistance in helping us make
the trim wrapping decision. He was extremely conscientious
of every installation detail. I'm a stickler for
detail and inspect most work very closely and point
out areas that do not meet my satisfaction. I am
what you call "a contractor's nightmare". I couldn't
find a single item in Steve's work that did not
completely satisfy me. Steve also removed and re-installed
our curtains, drapes and blinds, then washed every
window when he was done. He also took the time to
explain exactly what and why he was doing each specific
step during installation. My wife has a home business
and Steve, on his own initiative, made sure he worked
away from her office area to minimize noise since
she is continually on the phone. When she left the
office he would work on the office windows. When
he was done and ready to leave, I reached out to
shake his hand and as we shook hands he said, "Do
you mind if I go in and say good-bye to the Mrs".
Wow, what a gentleman and delightful person. On
top of all this great service we got a full lifetime
guarantee on material and workmanship including
seal failure. A very comfortable feeling to have.
Needless to say, both my wife and I are 100% satisfied
with the windows, workmanship and service. Your
prices were in the middle but everything else was
at the top.
|
Nothing
But Professional...
We want to let you
know that our experience with your company was nothing
but professional. We are very pleased with the outcome
of our new windows. Our house looks great, and I
am sure that the utility bills will come down dramatically.
It is so quiet and cool in our home now.
I
really appreciated your no-hard-sale approach. Educating
homeowners as you do, to the benefits of a top line
product, made the decision easy. The two gentlemen
that came and installed the windows were very professional
as well. They worked around my schedule as necessary
and did an excellent job of installing the windows.
I am sure that you already know how valuable these
two men are to your company and image. When they
completed the job, other than seeing the windows,
you could not even tell that anyone was outside
the house working. The cleanup was excellent.
I will highly
recommend The Aluminum Company of North Carolina
to any and all of my acquaintances. | | |
