We had a contract with Budget Exteriors but declined to go with them after signing. They worked with us to resolve this.

Editorial review from Citysearch 1/16/2013

Very bad experience with the company. Expect high pressure selling! They quoted us $4000 to do our insulation in the attic. When we said we need to talk it over they went into a 5 min. lecture on why they are going to give us a discount and then quoted us $3600. He then had the nerve to stick out his hand to my husband and say, deal!? We again said we would need to discuss it and get back to them. They kept asking why, and said they can just step outside so we can discuss things. He asked how much we are willing to pay, we said possibly $2500. By this time it was 9pm, we had to get our daughter to sleep and were getting very annoyed. As we were putting our daughter to bed they called their boss and got approval for the $2500. They IMMEDIATELY called a finance company, started yelling to us that we need to come over and give our information to start the process and get approved. We never agreed to anything, it was very “ballsy” of them to do that. I was actually getting scared because they wouldn’t leave and stayed in my daughters room while my husband went out to tell them no deal, please leave. When he did so, the guy yelled to his partner, Stop! Stop! Stop! They aren’t doing it. He told us I can’t believe you would pass up a deal like this. They finally left but didn’t leave the property for some time. They sat in their vehicle for a while then we heard them leave. Expect great guys at first but as soon as you fight them on anything they turn into complete pushy jerks. more

We were very pleased with the workmanship, the workers ability to communicate explanations, and his patience and thoughtfulness and christian ethics. You have a gem. Don't let him go! Oh, and we love our new windows as well! more

Crooks and dishonest 9/1/2012

Dishonest Crooks. Please stay away. They came to my house after I had storm damage only fixed half the problem but yet charged me all these extra fee's and then after I said I would not finish paying them until the work is done COMPLETE !!!! they tried to put a lien on my house. They are dishonest thiefs and pleae stay away from this crooked company more

Best Remodeling company 10/4/2011

I got a phone call one day from Budget Exteriors asking if i was thinking about doing any home improvements. I said yes. I had Also had bids from other home improvement companies which didn't go s well they were high pressure and i didn't like them. When I had the sales guy out from Budget, he was very informative and was just a really nice guy. After he explained my options and showed me the windows i could see which windows where for me considering I had seen other windows. I'm glad that i got that phone call and went with them when they came out to my home. They installed the windows and the whole process went exactly like they said it would. Now that the windows are in i love them and can't wait to use them again. Thanx a lot budget Adam Nerstrand more

did what they said they would do 10/4/2011

Had my attic insulated and ventilated this past spring with the hopes of lower AC costs. It helped a lot. I expect to see the same results this winter with my heating bill. Installers were cool and I recommended these guys to my mother in-law. more

insulation 8/3/2011

I had My home insulated last year by budget exteriors. The sales person was friendly and knowledgeable. After getting my insulation done i've found that my energy bills have decreased and i'm very happy with the job. Very easy from start to finish more

Budget Exteriors 4/13/2011

Just spent nearly 3 hours with a rep getting ""educated"" on replacement window...the presentation turned in to a high pressure sales push to make a decision on windows within minutes. When I wouldn't be bullied into a sale, the rep became angry, but did leave. Now I'm worried about follow up after reading the previous reviews...... I agree with all the negative reviews...DO NOT do business with this company! more

Worst business I have ever encountered!!! Beware!! 4/11/2011

Budget Exteriors deceived me into signing into a contract with them because they said not acting quickly would result in more damage to my home. When I tried to cancel the next day they told me I couldn't cancel even though they provided me cancellation paperwork which states you have 3 days to cancel. I would have to pay 25% of the cost as damages. The man on the phone said they would take me to binding arbitration where I would lose and also have to pay their fees. A week after me e-mailing, calling, certify mailing my cancellation paperwork they mail me stating that they believe I am trying to cancel my contract after the cancellation period and that now I would have to pay 25%. I contacted the list of departments below and they folded quickly. Later when I checked with other businesses to get the work done I found out Budget Exteriors was trying to charge me 2-4 times as much as competitors. more

Unwanted calls! 10/20/2010

I have never done business with this company, but they cold called me twice today within the span of 2 hours. The first time they asked for my husband by first name. When I said he was at work, they asked ""Is this the Mrs.?"" I asked ""Who is calling?"" They promptly hung up on me. I tried calling the caller ID number back, but it was just a busy signal. I called my husband and he said he never even heard of the company. When they called back the second time, they again asked for my husband- ""Is ******* available?"" I again told them that he was at work and then asked them- ""Where did you get this number anyway?"" Again, they hung up. I tried calling the number back again and this time it rang about 5 times before someone on the other end picked up and hung up again. When I tried calling after that I was again met with a busy signal. What kind of company doesn't tell a person which company it is or how they got the number unless they have something to hide?!!? more

Horrible! 9/25/2010

I am so sickened by the way this company treated our home. After I signed a contract and discovered I was being ripped off I tried to cancel. I recieved a threatening phone call from Kenneth Thompson (owner) who told me he was going to sue. Later I found out that half the company are convicted fellons. Including the sales person that came to my house. I think it is my right to be aware of this! I warn you DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY! more

AWEFUL JOB< SHINGLES ARE FALLING OFF OUR ROOF OVER CHARGED 9/11/2010

Well let's just say this Company if a complete joke! Never ever will we go with this company again. We paid 4X the amount it should have cost us to put a new roof on only to litereally have all our shingles falling off. Not to mention non english speaking workers to ask questions to. Company has been saying they will come back and fix our roof but has yet to show up. This case is proven by the shingles company stating short nailing and angled nails. Insurance agent stated the same issue. Budget is a RIP OFF!!!!!!!! DO NOT USE THEM EVER!!!! more

1 of the worsest companies in the twin citys 9/8/2010

I want to warn people about this company and just how bad it is. This company will try to sell windows or siding to everyone for 5 times what they should. They will tell you that windows for your house will range from $10,000 to $25,000 and since most people have to get financing for the work they have their own mortgage company to do it for the customer. The owner Kenny got sick of mortgage people telling the customers that they were getting screwed and decided that only filing judgements for work that was never done wasn't paying off. What I mean is that if you sit down and sign ANYTHING with this company they will sue you if you try to get out of it. A couple of the sales reps are currently in jail due to drug charges and another one that worked in the mortgage side that the owner thought could run the company was so drugged up that he was jumping off his roof thinking he could fly. What a lot of people don't know is that if you sign papers from that point on they are allowed to go after you for that amount and this company will order the product even after you tried to cancel just to sue you. They marke up the product so high that even if they get only half of what they charged you they are still paying for the product and then some. This is a company that at the end of the day you will regret ever answering the phone so save yourself the trouble! And I also noticed that each of the positive comments appear to have been written by someone that knows that company and the product. I wouldn't be surprised if the company wrote the comments since they also have a message from the owner. more

Awesome Job, highly recommend!!! 2/19/2010

I really appreciated the fact the sales person spent the time in order to fully educate me on the product and how it would benefit my family. The insulation has made a huge difference. We saved over 35% on our energy bills this year over last. The other really neat thing is how the house is more evenly heated. The workers were very easy to talk to and ask questions. Great company to work with. I have already recommended them to three of my neighbors who have also done business with them. If you are looking for a professional insulation company Budget Exteriors is the company to go with. Pros: Quick, efficient, follow through more

Great Group of people 2/2/2010

My wife and I had this company replace our old windows with energy efficient replacements and we are very happy with their products and their staff. The installers were professional and on time and the sales dept were enjoyable and honest. We have and will continue to refer our friends and relatives. Pros: Best job best price more

Completely satisfied with Budget Exteriors 1/25/2010

I have done quite a few projects on my home, as we bought it as a fixer upper, and boy was there some fixin up to do, but we are getting there, thanks to Budget Exteriors. We are totally sold on there company and products. Everyone was so professional and kind, and a few funny people too. Salespeople always answered our questions with no hesitation. Production was very on the ball for keeping us informed as to when they were going to be there to do a 2nd measure, and install them. When the crews left, they left no debris in the yard or for us to clean up. We still have some more fixin up to do in our fixer-upper, and you can be sure that we will be calling them. They really do keep there customers happy. Pros: Every one was so professional and courteous more
