Review: American Exteriors Mfg Inc

[Barb K]

Glad I read the review. Telemarketer called tonight. Told him not interested after reading these reviews...in fact told him 3 times not interested. Had a daughter in telemarketing & she said after 2" no" comments they were to end the call. Said this to the man who called me...his response...I just keep talking as long as you are on the line...GOOD BYE!!!

..Most vinyl products are very much the same...Your Window/door/siding installation is only as good as the installers integrity..The only way to have good installers is to have good project managers that can tell the difference in good and bad installers[some project managers dont even have construction backgrounds]..So in reality the job will only be as good as the project manger..Anybody can get hired as an installer with a nice truck and tools..Ive known many good and bad..Many installers go from company to company ,,Get fired from one go to the next..The products are only as good as the installation..Too many of them Hire illegals with the lead guy being legal......Smaller companies hire over and over until they find a handful of good guys ..Good guys get the good jobs and the rest is filtered to the less desirable installers..Salesman will ALWAYS tell you they have the best...American Exteriors in Littleton is no different..

I have also had several pushy telemarketer calls trying to set up a 90 min. presentation on a very short notice. Asked what their calendar looked like for next week or following week. Telepusher said he will not even see his scheduling apptmnt calendar for next week before late Fri. or Sat.!!! Can you say "BUSH LEAGUE"??
Also... I labeled caller ph # from an earlier rep from this company in my cell ph contact list so I would be forewarned & whuddya know...started getting them from a different unidentified ph.#.
so....if it LOOKS like a skunk, & it SMELLS like a skunk, IT IS A SKUNK!!!
I be steering clear of 'em!
p.s. Thanks to ALL who shared their experiences here!

Your assumption about "Tongs" being an employee seems overly generous & undeservedly civil. Same for "White Trash"...neither seem too employable!!

You must be an employee, for your information...My husband and I both work very hard to support our 6 children. The house wasn't bought out of want but need and we struggle every month just like everyone else to make our mortgage. We almost lost our house last year when I had to take a 6.5% pay cut to keep my job. So don't pretend you know anything about anyone. What a small minded creep you are!!!

I recently left this company as an employee because of the way they treat their employees and customers. They like to boast that they are the manufacturer of the windows which is true, but consists of about 14 guys working in a run down shop with what looks like older second hand equipment. Their windows are inferior (the person who said all vinyl windows are the same is just plain wrong). While working for them, I was never able to find a customer that was completely satisfied, and I spoke to many. There was always some problem or the other.
The main problem with this company is that almost all of the companies energies are put into sales and marketing, and very little emphasis is put into manufacturing and operations.
I have worked for good home improvement companies in the past, and as soon as my eyes were opened to American Exteriors business ethics and practices, I tendered my resignation.
I would dare to say that the age of their average employee is 21 to 24 yrs. old in the sales field, and I never met or talked to a manager that was over the age of 35, and very few had any prior experience in home improvement.
Bottom line: don't just stay away from this company, run away.
