Patio Sliding Door

The purpose of this review is to provide potential customers with both the positives and negatives that I have experienced with Global Solutions Inc. and to critique their professionalism. Overall I am happy with the end product and results, but less so with the installation experience and subsequent follow up. I will add updates if any issues arise in the future.

Pros:
George was very quick to reply and showed up promptly for the deposit/singing the contract, answered all the necessary questions. He was great at providing the new sliding door fast, even when other companies were telling us that we had to wait a month. His installers showed up on time/date provided by the company and responds fast to texts/calls.  

Cons:
As the old door was being removed, my family and I were watching the installers closely as there is stucco near the door. We wanted to make sure that they were being careful with this process, as repairing old stucco is complicated and expensive. The installer did not like being watched so we were rudely told in an aggressive manner that its not a tv show, so stop watching. I can understand the annoyance to have people watch you, however there is a better way of stating this to an individual, instead of being rude and aggressive. We walked away from the installers and let them do their job. I came for a check after some time and I noticed that the installers were wrapping up without installing a new wood trim. I brought this up to the installers and was told that it wont be installed as he was not told to do so. I called George to relay this concern, he told his installer to put the wood trim. After some back and forth, the installer was still refusing to do this and rudely asked me to show him the contract. After seeing the contract and confirming that wood trim needs to be installed, there was no acknowledgement by the installer of being wrong or a simple apology. Once the job was done, the installers came to ask for the remaining balance, without asking if I wanted to just check the door first. Not being well and having gone through a stressful situation earlier, I really just wanted them gone and thought to check the door later. Upon checking the door later, there were minor scratches left on the handle of the door and other parts of the frame (for which George later provided us with a spray can to cover), and the screen door was not closing smoothly, there was a track issue. I shared these concerns with George, and he agreed to come by to fix it himself. George came within a few days, and tried to fix the screen door, as he was doing this, he mentioned that he had never heard a customer complain about so many issues, for such a small job. I found these comments to be rude and unprofessional. Shortly after, George was heard speaking to the same installer on the phone, and he was jokingly mocking the situation and saying 'why didn't you say por favor...' followed by some laughter. After not being able to fix the screen door, George replaced it, however it still did not close smoothly.

Overall:
In cases like this it would be normal for an owner or manager of a company to be understanding and apologetic for the poor actions of their staff. I let him know that, had his staff executed the job properly before leaving, there would be no follow up calls and there would be no reason for me to complain. We were asked to wait for an installer to come by when they are in the area on April 27, 2022, and 45 days later, they completed the adjustment, which took them approximately five minutes to finish.

Mrs. Shruti. Thank you for your review here in Homestars.
I would like to point out several things that you mentioned so I can let other customers know who red your review. This is George responding to your review.

1. You mentioned that installer answered you rudely.
Well installer told me several times that he did not say egressively anything to you and he appologiesed still after you guys were watching him. You guys were set in front of installers and watching him hole family including your parents. Non of the installer likes by the way been watched during a work. Myself also in anyways apologized to you for any inconvenience and when I was speaking with installer in front of you I did not laugh of course about you or about your door.

2. Would like to mention about trim installation. Like you mentioned after speaking with me installer installed trim. Simply installer was thinking about different job that he supposed to go after your job and there did not need trims, simply he thought it was different job. Trim was installed when he spoke with me right away. I don't see here much issue.

3. mrs Shruti you mentioned about myself that I answered you unproffessionally. I would not accept that because I said all true. a) it was very small job which actually is because we installed only one patio door 5 feet one and b) yes I never heard that many little concerns before from any customer. So if I say true that can not be unprofessional.

4. Thanks for good things that you wrote as well.

Overall:
I would like to mention to other readers following.
Customer has no any deficiency, job is completed.
Myself I was there to customers place 2 or 3 times when I heard complain and installer was 2 times as well in total.
Customer got her door installed very quick like in 2 weeks when that time was supply chain problems and Vista patio door that is great quality manufacturer would take 3-5 month for manufacturing that time but we used our stock door so we could install faster for customer.
After all these we are not happy to see that kind of review from customer but looks like can not make everybody 100% happy like we were always making before because this is first average/negative review for us. It was very good experience for us in anyways 🙂

Mrs Shruty again thanks for your business and sorry if there was any inconvinience. If any issue you will have in future please feel free to contact me directly. You have lifetime warranty for door and labor warranty as well.

Back Door And Side Windows

We've worked with Global Improvement Solutions Inc. before and was satisfied with the job once again. George was responsive, communicative and personable. His crew arrived on time and worked quickly and diligently to get the job done with as little disruption to your live and space as possible. We had a small issue with one of the mechanisms for the back door after instillation and he came the next morning to resolve it. We also installed a egress windows in our house. He and his crew took pride in their work and it reflected. Thank you.

Egress Windows & Door Renovation

Global Improvement Solutions Inc replaced all of our windows to egress windows and also replaced our front and back door. It was a huge job that consisted of 15 windows and 2 doors. George completed the job in 2 days and we could not be happier with the product. Our home looked amazing and we noticed a difference in our heating immediately. Would definitely recommend him. Thank you.

Amazing Service from the Galaxy Team

I am more than 100% satisfied with my experience with Global Improvement Solutions Inc. From quote request to finished product, their service is remarkable. We had a great, informative and transparent estimate meeting with George. We had 11 windows, a sliding door, and front door replaced over two days and George the installer did a beautiful job installing and finishing the windows. Everything was left spotless. I can’t recommend Global Improvement Solutions Inc enough, do not hesitate to give them a call.

Basement egress window

I found the company on the internet and called George. After speaking to him I didn't bother to get any other estimates. I felt comfortable with him. I sent pictures of the existing windows and he gave me a quote. He came on site shortly after and made suggestions and explained about the window he was going to install. A week later, his men came and completed the job in one morning. They were very efficient, professional and cleaned up the mess. I am very happy with the way they conducted themselves. I didn't feel that I was getting ripped off. I felt safe dealing with them. My window looks great! Thank you guys. Keep up the Great work

Rotting wood on roof

Very honest and helpful advice. My gutter fell off and a different company fixed it and told me I needed to replace some rotting wood on my roof. George saved me $600+ by taking the time to do a thorough inspection in advance and recommending no further work was needed.

Loose shingles

Found some loose shingles outside my house and so immediately called Global Improvement Solutions Inc (who previously installed the roof in 2019) to come check the roof. They replied within the hour and had someone drive out and check the roof and take a picture. The shingles happen to be just left over shingles. Thanks for the quick checkup George.highly recommended Global Improvement Solutions Inc.
