We just had a porch railing and handrail installed at our home by Calvert and couldn't be happier with the results The pricing was competitive and we were impressed with the quality of the product, and the method of installation. The installer was most cordial and meticulous with the installation and cleanup. A totally stress-free experience!

Calvert cut in a set of two windows into the side of my house. They installed it 11/2" too high so I asked them to lower it. They sent one guy back to lower it and he left the resulting 11/2" gap around three sides uninsulated and didn't install a window frame around the outside, just bent aluminum to make a faux window frame. So much for the low E windows.
Imagine the cold air coming through all winter long. After four half hearted attempts to get it right, the final result was unfinished and pathetic. They put a window frame on the outside that was double the width of the frame next to it. The upstairs window they cut in was the same story, too high, frame too big and crooked, caulking was awful. Calvert still wanted their 5000.00 for three windows, unfinished.
It looked like a homeowner had installed the windows. As for the new siding, the panels were straight but they left multiple gaps between panels, there is supposed to be an inch min. overlap. The trim was awful, they didn't wrap the j-channel around the windows, they butt- jointed them and now water can get behind the siding. Jay, the salesman/ foreman never heard of wrapping the j-channel.
The first you-tube video that comes up is how to wrap j-channel around the windows. If you get new siding, make sure the installers are certified, it really does make a difference. Worst of all, Calvert left the step flashing uncovered where first floor meets the second floor and a storm hit. We had water all the way to the basement, a straight line across the house of damage right underneath the flashing. Calvert denied responsibility when I tried to make an insurance claim.
Hey accidents happen, but to deny responsibility is telling. They finally offered to settle but said they weren't at fault. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of these guys. They are in and out as fast as they can get away with. The owner doesn't examine his subs. work, he defends it with a thousand excuses.
