Description of Work: 3 windows installed as well as a new steel door.
Member Comments: I called we care and they came right out for an estimate. The price was somewhat higher than I expected, but the work was done quickly and professionally. The windows were in immediately, and the door was in as soon as it was ready (it was custom ordered). Capping and a tread were provided at no additional cost. The windows and door were of top quality.

Description of Work: Replaced siding on back of three story rowhouse. Each floor juts out somewhat uniquely, so there was a lot of prep work before siding could be put down. Replaced cast iron vent pipe that had been partly imbedded in old siding.
Member Comments: We agreed that with the layout of the house, the workmen would have to come through the house with all their equipment. They were quite considerate and took care to minimize the mess. On the first day, the demolishion crew ripped away most of the old stuff. They were able to get foam insulation up over most of the exposed parts. On the second day, they found that the vent pipe may have been the source of a recurring leak in my kitchen. We decided to replace it, increasing the cost of the job but leaving me much more satisfied. Jim had his son come off of another job on short notice to do this extra work. He returned on the last day as well to complete the effort. After each day, they would clean up the work area and show me their progress. I was impressed, and it was good to see that the crew cared about their work. Lastly, Jim cares greatly about Mandate To The Mayor. This system promotes disclosure of contracting jobs and benefits honest, good contractors.

Description of Work: Renovated two large bays on the side of our 100 year old house. Replaced six windows. Insulated and sealed off our attic stair case.
Member Comments: Jim W and crew were phenomenal! They are so professional, it almost scares you because you have never experienced anything like it when dealing with contractors. They were so timely and communicated everything appropriately. They went above and beyond on their project and addressed several smaller issues on the side of our house at the same time, because it was the right thing to do from their perspective. Finally they showed some real creativity when they found a way low cost solution to protecting our bays from the large fire escape. We have never been so happy with a contractor before. We highly recommend We Care! We've even found more projects for them, because we like them so much. I would think that it is very true that at least 70% of their work is from previous customers!

Description of Work: Replaced old wood siding on second floor of the back the house with vinyl siding and new insulation. Some of the wood (including some of the structural material) had rotted, and they discovered and fixed this as well.
Member Comments: Jim and his crew were prompt and polite. Jim was very clear and up front throughout the process, explaining what needed to be done when the rotten wood was discovered. Their work is excellent! I feel very confident in the finished product.

Description of Work: Removed and replaced siding, including cornice on the third story; removed and replaced two window; removed and replaced front storm and screen doors; installed security screen door on back of house; replaced front and back lights, installed door bell, and address plaque (as a courtesy.)
Member Comments: We are absolutely delighted with the work that We Care did on our house. The owner, Jim Weigold is very professional, organized and detail-oriented. During the estimate walk-through process Jim recommended a number of improvements that we hadn't considered, without trying to "sell" us anything. His practice of video taping the estimate walk-through guarantees an accurate record and definitely put us at ease. The work crew arrived on time every day and were very polite. Jim also called each morning to check on the progress of the project. The crew cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each work day. The work was all done beautifully and professionally. We highly recommend We Care for your siding, window or door project!

Description of Work: We had a leaky skylight replaced and a coating put on the roof around the skylight.
Member Comments: We were very happy with the service; we thought we needed a new roof. They were quite honest in telling us the roof was fine. They went up there and thoroughly checked it out. Since they installed the new skylight we have had no problems what so ever with leaks.

Description of Work: I had them replace 4 windows throughout my home.
Member Comments: I thought that their quality of work was good but not excellent. My windows are not beautiful by any means as they are rather plain but they are what I needed. I do also think that they use rather cheap materials, but they have an excellent price.

Description of Work: We Care was hired to replace 14 windows in our home. The windows were a combination of original aluminum/wood frame windows and vinyl replacement windows. Capping and caulking needed to be applied to all windows after replacement.
Member Comments: Jim Weigold (the owner) came in the evening, himself, to give us an estimate. He gave us a complete information packet including a DVD about the company. He is a firm believer in "contractor disclosure" and explained that to us fully. We had several other estimates but We Care's was the best price-wise and attitude-wise. We decided to go with them. The crew arrived within 15 minutes of the scheduled time with one of Jim's sons (Jeff) running the job. I was told that the job would take approximately 2 days to complete. The crew completed the job in less than one full day. The crew used drop cloths and cleaned up after themselves quite well. When a problem was found with one of the new screens (a small cut), one of Jim's sons (James) came and repaired the screen onsite. These guys were great! We Care should be the model for all contractors.

Member Comments: They did a fantastic job the first time & that is why I went back to them again. The workers were really kind & helpful. They were terribly accommodating to me since I am disabled which they did the last time. I would go back to them without a doubt. They said that they were going to come at a certain time & they showed up early.

Description of Work: We Care installed four replacement windows including a wood frame casement window and three vinyl sash windows.
Member Comments: The company owners did estimating and measurements. They considered moldings and sills to make sure I got the look I wanted. They offer locally made windows that are attractive and energy efficient. I had a problem with one screen. They picked it up within two hours to repair it. The company is extremely customer focused, a refreshing change from the usual.

Description of Work: Jim and his team came in and removed a 50 year old bay window and replaced it with a new one. In the process, they had to rebuild the roof over the window.
Member Comments: It went really well. I had not had a window of this size replaced before, and so I relied on Jim's judgment to help me choose a bay window. The actual work was done by Justin and one other carpenter. They did a great job. The window and new roof over the window look even better than I anticipated. Even though I kept telling Justin that I'd vacuum up, he got down and made sure that all the sawdust was cleaned up from my house. The house looks so much brighter and inviting (as this is a large window in the front of my house). In a separate job, they replaced 9 other room windows in my house, all the same style as the bay window. They're beautiful. The house isn't windy anymore.

Description of Work: Replaced windows and added a steel door.
Member Comments: Jim W's a pleasure to work with, on time; always in contact with you, and very detail oriented. He does something I have never seen another contractor do and that is video tape and take digital pictures of the work area where the work is to be performed. He leaves detail instructions for his crew along with the video. So that there is no confusion as to what work should be done. He is also for contractor disclosure. He was for this long before the city of Philadelphia. Which was one of the reasons for me choosing We Care.

17 years After The Job Is Completed We Prove That We Care That Our Job Performance Is Based On Productivity, Ingenuity, and Honesty This job completed in 1987….. Unfortunately there was an installation defect with a lack of lag bolts holding the pent roof secure to the wall. In 2004 we show up immediately, address the problem, and at no charge to the customer, rebuild the entire pent roof.
