California Showcase Construction

I had windows and doors installed, their workers were unprofessional. They were cussing, smoking(bringing in the smell and cigarette butts stuck to their shoes) and they all kept asking to use my restroom. I mean I get one maybe 2 guys asking to use the restroom but all of them and twice some 3 times... Stop drinking energy/coffee drinks! Not to mention they were putting their energy drink cans straight on my coffee table! Right next to coasters! Ugh! I was dissapointed to say the least!

We had California Showcase Construction install a custom 60 foot aluminum patio cover over the entire back of our house. It was a large job. Lights on the posts. The crew was there at 8:30AM and the entire project was completed by 4:30PM. The guys cleaned up. It looked like no one had even been there. Professional from start to installation. We highly recommend California Showcase Construction. A++++++++!

my name is Lynn i'm home retired from having three heart attacks. I was visited by I think his name was Joe not sure? He got me to upgrade my windows as mane were very sad to that. California Showcase Construction came into my life. Our family ordered 15 windows and a sliding door. After waiting for them to be custom made. I was called and we set the instillation of the new windows and door. the truck showed up with a group of installers.Mike was there leader and what a team there were.They were all work, no one stood any where long. The new there jobs and want to work with little direction as Mike was checking and over seeing things they got the windows in the side on one day and came back to finish the sliding door the next day. Within two days the job would have been finished. But Mike was not happy with one of the windows, he said it had a crack. It was so small I could not see it but he would not excepted it so they put in temporarily. Mike ordered another window. When it was finished they came a gain the hole group to Mikes crew to install the one window. It took three men to get the bad window out, it showed me how good they if they just tacked this window in and took three men to get it out with pry bars. It gave me a feeling that the other windows were installed with great skill and care to see my family happy for a life time.
The window are Anlin windows Systems and they are great. You can not believe how clear they and the screens are so cleat that you all most thank they are not there.
GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT WINDOWS, AND MOST OF A VERY HAPPY MAN WITH THE MY NEW WINDOWS FOR LIFE.

Wow, how's this for customer service, I have a Home improvement company were we service homeowners with energy-efficient products and where looking for a contrater that puts on Tex Cote coating and I was referred to Kari at showcase. I explained what we do and was told they don't do that, don't do Jobs? maybe she didn't understand the question, so then I asked her a retail price, rough price because we and most companies I know start by square feet, she went off on me saying there were to many variables, etc. yes I understand that but wanted to start at a price per square foot and talk about doing business using her retail price as I have home owners that have asked about it and I always need someone I can refer them too. Not this company, having a Bad day Kari?

We got our windows on our house replaced in June by California Showcase and they were top-notch from start to finish. We decided to replace the windows to improve energy efficiency in our home. We were able to utilize YGRENE which helped us afford the project. The owner personally came out to do final measurements before ordering all of our windows. Talk about quality control! We also asked for a few odds and ends that they were kind enough to do for us while they were there. It helped us not have to hire another contractor to come in for a small extra job. The replaced windows, removed some unwanted window/old patio door, enlarged a window, and did great finishing work. There were two teams working on our house. The got all the windows replaced in one day and came back the following day for the finishing work. Everything turned out just as great as we hoped it would. The windows are high quality and really help to keep our house cool. The contractors were professional and diligent. We are so glad we made the decision to replace our windows, and we are lucky that we decided to use California Showcase. Check em out!

Long review alert! I ran out of characters while writing this...
We did windows, doors, attic insulation, stucco, and texcote paint.

1. A lot of workers cussing, smoking, throwing trash and cigarette butts on the ground. Even after complaining about the trash and being told to leave it there.... That they would clean it up. The manager comes on site the next work day and more trash is on the ground that I point out to them, and the workers laugh about it.

2. Lots of nails, screws, & razor blades left on the ground. I complained about this multiple times. I have kids and god forbid one of them cuts their foot on a razor blade left over from these guys. We've picked up over 100 nails and screws and 10 razor blades. Then my wife's car gets a nail in the tire, which prompted this review. :) I was even told that they would come out on the last day with a rolling magnet to pick up stuff, never happened.

3. Out of all the windows installed, 4 were wrong. 2 didn't slide the way we wanted them to, decided to keep them anyway. 1 window had privacy glass that shouldn't of, kept it anyway. The last problem window was supposed to have privacy glass, but didn't. That one they came and replaced and now doesn't slide correctly. The window doesn't line up right and looks crooked if not all the way open, or shut completely

4. The doors didn't come with the hardware we picked out. Wanted an antique black finish, was given a brushed nickel. Not a big deal, but why did we spend time with the sales person picking this stuff out if we didn't get it? Main door had to have the casing redone as it wasn't put in properly and looked terrible. The manager did apologize for rushing the job and leaving it that way. Complained about the door locks not lining up correctly and not being able to open the door from the outside with a key, they attempted to fix that problem, but still not the best. Second entry door was hanging out with one week of installation, they fixed that and it has been fine since the correction.

5. Busted off a electric plug, which took out the electricity in part of the house. They had an electrician come out and replace the plug and check the wiring. Electrician is friends/family with a worker of California Construction and he says this happens a lot as usually a nail is put into the electric wiring to cause a short.

6. Had some caulk on some materials that was put onto a red material couch. Still a spot on it after cleaning. A lot of mess in the house which is understandable. But when they put in attic insulation, it flowed out through a wall heater and flooded the house with a fog of insulation. After cleaning up the house from the windows and doors, to now have it filthy again from not taping up or even coming inside to check before starting the insulation fill was pretty bad. I told the Manager that maybe they should check that stuff in the future, and he shrugged it off.

7. Threw away my wood crawl space cover. Was supposed to have another one built, they never did. They put in a cheap metal cover, but I can't have a big hole on the side of the house.

8. Threw away my attic door which fit perfectly and added some architecture to the house. Replaced it with a poorly built square door that doesn't fit properly, has big gaps where it fits.

9. Was told they were leaving 5 gallons of house paint for touch ups etc, opened it up and there is maybe 1 gallon in it.

10. Upon stripping the siding off they were supposed to check the insulation and re-insulate where needed and fix any problems. I pointed out a rotted out section of the house by the master bathroom. Worker said they would take care of it. Next day I notice that new black paper is coated over it. Luckily the workers didn't show up that day, without notice of course, so I decide to pull back the paper and the rotted section is still there. The whole corner of the house is rotted out and would have had the added weight of stucco on it without being repaired. Called owner and complained and it was forwarded over to a manager.

11. Over spray on concrete, on roof shingles, on window casings.

12. Caulked the inside of our shower to prevent leaks, with brown caulk. The rest of the shower was in white. Last day of the project the worker supplied a white caulk container.

13. Concrete material stain left on hoses, nozzles, on the ground.

14. They stucco'd over a Verizon cable, had to have them pull it back out and fix it properly.

What kills me is the trash issue. I understand that things on the job happen. They broke some things, replaced them. Installed gfci circuits, added two window shelves, textured a wall and a wall corner for me and they built up the concrete foundation so it looked well built. It's been a few months and we are still finding nails, screws, etc.

They came out to repair the items that I complained about. Everything is working well. Only problem: the service technician asked me if I could take down my review. When I refused and told him that I would update it with the changes and rate CSC higher, he got angry. He asked me again if I would take it down. I told him that I wouldn't. He then proceeded to tell me to have a good day and to enjoy my windows in a very sarcastic tone, while walking out.

The higher star is for fixing the repairs. I can't, in good faith, go higher. Not with that type of customer service. I did call CSC to complain about the service technician. The customer service representative did apologize, but I will not be using CSC in the future or referring them to anyone I know.

I had a scheduled meeting today with a Sales Representative, regarding my inquiry on obtaining a quote for a patio cover. I can honestly say that this was the poorest sales call I have ever experienced. As soon as I acknowledged that I was not going to have this work performed immediately, because I am in the process of gathering quotes, the Rep. David, do not know his last name because he never bothered to give me a business card, basically threw me a one line estimate with absolutely no breakdown as far as labor, material, etc. The estimate was 4 times the amount just paid by a friend of mine for the exact same Alumawood product and precisely the same dimensions I had inquired about. He actually had the audacity to ask me and I quote, ""So you are not interested in having this work performed now?, Even if I were to quote you $50.00"". This Rep. assured me during his call that I would be unable to find a single negative review regarding his company. Well, there is a first time for everything. I phoned their office to voice my displeasure regarding my experience and was told that the Manager was not available but he could assist me. After hearing my description, he simply replied that, and I quote, "" I am sorry to hear that"".

Nothing more and nothing less, if it were even remotely to say less!! Oh, here is the best part of all, after throwing his pitiful quote in front of me, he grabbed his material, turned and headed for the front door and said "" thanks man"". I am serious, he actually addressed me as ""Man"". I would not allow California Showcase Construction to take out my trash let alone perform any home improvements upon my home. If there were a lower satisfaction rating possible, rest assured that is what they would be receiving from me.

If you're looking do to a home improvement project, look no further! We just had the windows on our house replaced by California Showcase and could not be more impressed with this company. Their professionalism starts with Brian, the owner, and continues with the salespeople to the install crew. The guys came in and worked fast, very clean and respectful. This is a top notch organization from start to finish. Great job guys!

Great company.They upgraded our windows and back door and they were high quality people from start to finish. Was worried having a bunch of workers over with small kids and the kind of language you typically get on job sites but they were focused on their work and making sure it was done correctly and my worries were unfounded with the crew doing the work.Owner comes down and does all the measurements .great company with a great product.
