My husband and I needed the windows and two sliding mg glass doors replaced in our home. We met…read morewith with a representative (Colton) in February 2024. While we were looking at other businesses, we greatly appreciated Colton's knowledge. We also wanted to support a local business, and we were impressed that they did their own work rather than hire contractors. In the end, we decided to go with Crown Exteriors. We asked about the timeline, and we were told that once they measured and placed the window order, we would have windows by mid-May at the latest. We received a text letting us know that the windows showed up May 2nd, and Colton told us that they'd schedule us after their carpenter caught up on a few things. After that, any communication was initiated by me. I reached out on 5/22/24, 1/19/24, and 8/5/24. Colton responded each time, but it was unnerving to have to reach out so often because we weren't given any updates. Finally, at the end of August 2024, I received a call from Colton asking if we wanted the windows installed the next day (8/29). Because we'd waited so long, we agreed. The next day, contractors showed up, which upset us because we had hoped to have someone on staff do the installation. The install went as smoothly as it could go, and it took about three days. However, two days after the windows were installed we noticed some issues. First, they installed our doors the wrong way, flipping the handle from the right to the left side of the door. Thats minor, but we were confused as to why they'd make the change. Next, the sliding glass doors accumulated water at the bottom. Outside water accumulation makes sense, but there shouldn't have been water on the inside. Lastly, a couple windows wouldn't open, and we couldn't figure out why. We contacted Colton, and he said he'd need to circle back to the contractors to look at it. This response was given on September 9th. Since then, we've called Colton (who let us know he didn't work there anymore and gave us the owner's contact information), the owner, and the business number on the website. We've left messages as well. We have yet to be contacted. The install was approximately $20,000, and we are not a super well-off family, so we really counted on this to be done well. And yet, we've been ignored and left with broken windows. I didn't want to leave this review because I'd hoped to work it out with them, but I'm hoping that they might be more willing to talk to us with this review posted.

Brad, replaced I would say ten or more bricks, repointed the chimney, and coated the crown. He and his crew were professional from start to finish and didn't leave a speck of brick in the yard or on my roof. The price was absolutely phenomenal. He is a straight shooter. Look no further. I am going to be having him back for more work. Please note that the pics are not the finished product at the moment. Brad is coming back to clean the brick and sheathing completely and to seal the brick and mortar. I will update the photos when he is completely finished. Brad came back as promised, cleaned up the dust and sealed the brick. The work looks beautiful and no more leak! They didn't leave a speck of brick pieces anywhere. Perfect clean up.

Every business can make a mistake, most would admit and fix their mess. With Drummond, however, you…read morewill be left to your own devices if anything goes wrong. My original review tells all about my wet adventures with this company, who left me a soaking wet carpet after their cleaning, and refused to fix it. Bottom line: unprofessional, serious issues with reliability and customer service, the worst I've seen. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere - there are plenty of real professional carpet cleaners in town. I never had any trouble with carpet cleaners except for Drummond. Too much headache for a simple carpet cleaning. If you do hire Drummond, and suffer the consequences, be advised: they will bully you when you share your negative experience. Critical reviews are met with deranged "rebuttals", false accusations, legal threats, and made up stories that keep changing (examples found in each of their replies, in both my reviews). Those are relevant points that a prospective customer should be aware of. According to their book - it's always someone else's fault. The wet carpet they left was first blamed on my nonexistent neighbors on the nonexistent top floor (I kid you not), then a leak that never happened in my kitchen (give me a break!). First they made up a story about insurance (confusing me with another customer), now some story about a fan - what in the world are they talking about ? Almost two years after that ordeal, the owners decided to open that wound, and post another nasty reply to my (now 21 months old) review, hoping that I wouldn't push back - they were wrong. Once I answered, they started playing victim (typical bully tactic), complain about being "attacked", and try to lecture me about proper review etiquette... rich. Drummond, 1. I'm not the one attacking legitimate reviewers - you are attacking. 2. Your messages speak for themselves - you *are* rude. 3. Both my reviews reflect everything about my awful personal experience with your service and outrageous behavior. Since you insist, I will remind you: your botched cleaning job almost ruined my carpet, and cost me a lot of money and stress to fix. Much like you did to other customers that horrible week, you avoided phone calls, and when you cared to answer, you were rude and obnoxious. You didn't care one iota, when we, your customers, needed you the most and begged your help. I literally had to hire another company to fix after you. And now you complain that you don't get a stellar 5-star review ? You can deny all you want, keep fabricating stories about leaks/fans/unicorns, and leave angry replies. My review isn't going anywhere, nor has it ever been removed, contrary to your claim. Seriously, stop making stuff up - nobody buys it, it's not helping your case, your reputation, or your business. People pay hard earned money for your services. Take responsibility for your bad work, stop making up excuses, and don't harass customers who express their dissatisfaction. Do your job like you should, and you'll get excellent reviews. Keep doubling down on your fiascos, and your customers will run away, it's as simple as that. ______________ Drummond reply (June 3rd 2019): I have not been disrespectful to you! You are attacking not just me personally you are attacking the hundreds of legitimate people that left a review and calling them fake. A review is to describe a personal experience with a business but you choose to attack the owner and legitimate customers which shows your true intent. Also you never paid for the week of fan usage for your water leak and was refusing to return them. This is all I have to say about this as your review has been removed twice already for violating review policies! ______________ Drummond reply (June 2nd 2019): Like I stated before we left fans for a week for you which you refused to return because you had a water leak at your kitchen sink that flooded the carpet that had nothing to do with the carpet cleaning process. You would not return our carpet drying fans and had not used them because you were out of the state and you left this review after we had stated that you would be charged for the fans if they were not returned! After we got our fans back that is when you left this review that contains false information! This review has been removed 2x for violating terms of website. ______________ Drummond reply (June 1st 2019): Like I stated before we left fans for a week for you which you refused to return because you had a water leak at your kitchen sink that flooded the carpet that had nothing to do with the carpet cleaning process.

From the estimate forward, he did a great job communicating with us about pricing and process, and he offered a much more reasonable quote than many other contractors in central Illinois.

Our final invoice was right in line with our estimate and we felt that he was honest and straightforward with us throughout the remodel.
