It can be tough to impress an A-type personality such as myself - my extreme attention to detail…read morecan drive myself and others a little crazy. I preface with this so readers understand that this review is coming from a tough judge! I received a couple of quotes from local companies when searching for window coverings. I called Anion after reading a stellar review from a colleague of mine (we are real estate brokers at the same brokerage, so our sphere is always sharing referrals for home-based projects). Each person I dealt with at Anion impressed me, starting with the very first phone call and ending with installation. Anion is a family-ran business, offering a noticeably more personable customer experience than dealing with larger big-name companies. They also provided me with the most competitive quote. Lucas came by for my original quote. I had only a very vague idea of what I wanted -- but he seemed to know exactly what I was trying to convey. He knows his stuff. He brought samples of several types of options, giving me the ability to confidently move forward. And - when I obsessed over the many shades of white options (ha) for a certain window covering, he so graciously agreed to come back with his swatches a second time to be sure I was getting just what I wanted. My installation could not have gone more smoothly, either. Rob is a true professional with an eye as precise as mine. He was enjoyable to speak with and I immediately knew I was in good hands! He has been installing window coverings for several years and it shows. He went the extra mile in more than one way and - though very efficient with time - I never felt the work was being rushed. I ended up with exactly what I was looking - really pleased. I can refer friends, family & clients alike to Anion with confidence.

The crew at Anion were fantastic to work with. After our first meeting with Molly and Jacqueline,…read morethere was no question we were in the right hands. While going through samples, they were attentive and engaged. You can tell they are passionate about their business. Their quote was reasonable compared to other large shade companies and their products look great. Install crew was careful and skilled. We noticed one of the valences was damaged (most likely directly from the manufacturer) so they ordered a replacement for us with no hassle. Molly and the rest of the staff had great communication and were very personable during this whole process. It's nice to see that from a company.

However, they ghosted after that. I never got a quote, nor did they reply to my message following up. Not sure what's up, but this caused a delay in my project (laundry room reno and water damage drywall repairs), and seemed unprofessional. Left me wondering if they would disappear once work started if I had ended up moving forward with them.

I wasn't going to write a review on this company but it's really bothersome! I mean the deception…read moreand lies is unbelievable! We resently had hail storms and they came and I entertained them because I don't have any idea what to look for as far as roof issues, so the guy insisted to go up to the roof and inspect and then he came down and showed me pictures, lots of them with red circles telling me those are the damages that hail causes he assured me that my insurance will cover and I have to contact my insurance for inspection which I did, I doubted anything he says since I don't hear anyone in my neighborhood complaining about damages infact none in my neighborhood had any issues, he also told me my neighbor down the road-(he gave me the address)also had damage that they are tending which I found out it is not true and I told this roofing guy that it is not true. So the insurance adjuster came along, the roofing company wants to be here as well so they can point out the issues, I was told that they don't have any doubts that this claim can be denied as I have more damages than the other customers they had that was approved. Adjuster denied all the claims and no hail damage noted. This roofing company still insisted hail damages are visible. So they wanted to come up again and inspect, that's already been inspected 3 times. He wanted to appeal and resubmit additional pictures to my insurance. Before he come up to check the roof I talked to this guy and told him about the denial of the claim and the reason why, when he came down he told me the adjuster is right, no visible damages on my roof????? I mean, where are the red circles they've been showing me earlier?? this is a straight up lies and deception!!! But I am so glad I don't have any damages on my roof but why lie to me straight in my eyes. Oh my God. Talking about trust here. 3 people from this roofing company lied to me and the sad part is their manager came here too and saying the same thing.

We had storm damage and they came to inspect the roof - as they did for others in our neighborhood…read more They worked with our insurance and we filed a claim to receive a new roof. I don't believe we really needed one, but for the price we thought it would be better than waiting until we really needed one. We followed through and they installed a new roof. They slapped it together within a few hours, replaced the gutters, but also did not take out the gutter guards and trashed them. About 4-5 months later we had several strong storms, and wind tore off the flashing (~2 feet of metal is dangling) and peeled back the roof on the corner. We contacted them (seeing it was within a year of labor) and they said they'd come out to repair it. After calling them repeatedly, they finally said they'd take care of it by May 2nd, but have been a no-show and no-contact. Now seeing other reviews of this company scanning homes from "damage" makes me regret replacing the roof with them - our 7-year old roof was in good shape.

I just needed to replace one window and their price range was in the middle from 4 different quotes so not expensive but not cheap either.

Terrible experience. We had them out right at the very beginning of the season (knowing that…read moregetting on a contractor's schedule in the Spring is important and can be a process) to give us an estimate. After a small number of quick email exchanges, we arrived at general terms. Then the fun began. We then waited weeks to get an updated estimate in writing. Sean would often take a week to respond to simple email requests. He promised information was coming. Never did. After almost a month, my wife emailed (she called first, but their voicemail was full...seriously?) and was responded to by Jesse, indicating that Sean had experienced a personal difficulty (totally understand...things happen), but that he would forward things the following day. The next day (which at this point made it a month of back and forth) Jesse emailed me to let me know that, due to his personal situation, Sean's crew was sidelined and Jesse's crew was already booked out for months and would be unable to do our job...at all...and they were "passing". All this after being apologized to literally 48 hours earlier and told by Jesse that he would get our updated estimate so we could move forward. Wow. People wonder why contractors have bad names in general. I had been ridiculously patient. I even would have understood if I had been told that, due to a personal issue, our job had to be pushed back a few weeks. However, to be intentionally strung along with multiple assurances over and over, only to then be dropped and left high and dry? Absolutely horrible. Jesse also apparently trolled my wife online (creepy and weird), found out she also has her own business, and made a veiled threat in an email that he hoped that she never experienced a personal challenge similar to Sean, became short staffed, and had people write negative reviews about her business. Again...wow. Stay away. Far away.
