I cannot recommend Auto Claims Specialists highly enough.

Like many people dealing with a total loss claim for the first time, I had no idea what my options were after my insurance company declared my Toyota FJ Cruiser a total loss. I had spent countless hours researching vehicle values, documenting OEM and aftermarket modifications, and trying to negotiate on my own, but I quickly realized I was at a significant disadvantage.

After discovering Auto Claims Specialists, everything changed.

From my very first conversation, it was obvious that this team understands the total loss appraisal process inside and out. They took the time to answer my questions, explain each step of the process, and set realistic expectations. At no point did I feel pressured or left wondering what came next. Their communication was prompt, professional, and incredibly reassuring.

Most importantly, they knew exactly how to navigate the appraisal process. Their guidance helped me properly invoke my appraisal clause, present the right information, and ultimately achieve a settlement that was approximately $5,300 higher than my insurance company's original offer.

That increase alone more than justified reaching out to them, but what impressed me even more was their professionalism, honesty, and willingness to educate me throughout the process. They genuinely cared about making sure I received a fair valuation rather than simply accepting the insurance company's initial offer.

If you're facing a total loss claim and feel overwhelmed or unsure whether your settlement offer is fair, do yourself a favor and contact Auto Claims Specialists before accepting anything. Their expertise made a tremendous difference in my case, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

Thank you to Robert and the entire Auto Claims Specialists team for your knowledge, professionalism, and outstanding customer service.

Quicken software has been great over the years. However, recently they have had many issues with releases and no timeframe to fix, only that they know there are issues and they are in the queue to resolve. Hopefully this is a temporary issue, because the company and software have been solid for years.

I was happy to have the insurance plan to cover for difficultly with our international trip caused by the airline delays. The airline did nothing to address the delays caused by mechanical issues with their plane. If I did not have this travel insurance plan I would have paid out of pocket for all the added expenses incurred by the delay. That being said, Allianz did not make it easy to understand all the proper documentation required for them to reimburse for the claim. Typical insurance company doing everything possible to not pay out. I feel like I had to jump through the right flaming hoops to get the proper reimbursement. However, once I painstakingly gathered the right information and submitted to them properly, they did pay out. Just don't expect the process to be quick or painless.

Vehicle Value Analysis is doing a great job helping me navigate an insurance claim where my insurance is calling the vehicle a total loss. Their expertise is invaluable to help work through this process and be sure the insurance company is treating me fairly and not under valuing my vehicle. Reach out to these folks to help you. They are great to work with.

TL;DR: My experience was plagued by poor workmanship, repeated callbacks, communication failures, and financing mistakes. After nearly a year, issues are still unresolved.

I chose Renewal by Andersen after hearing positive things about the brand and receiving a recommendation from neighbors who had used them. My experience with the sales team was excellent, but unfortunately, everything after signing the contract went downhill.

The project cost over $112,000 to replace all of my home's windows, so I opted to replace only half. At this price point, I expected exceptional craftsmanship. Instead, I experienced problems from the very beginning.

The installation took place in February. Immediately after the windows were installed, I could both see and feel cold air entering around several of them. The installers insisted everything was fine, but I had to request that the project manager come inspect the work before they agreed to address it. Once they made their "repairs," they quickly installed the interior trim, making it impossible to verify whether the sealing issues had actually been corrected. Today, thermal imaging still shows significant hot and cold spots around many of the window frames.

The workmanship throughout the project was disappointing. My back door no longer locked properly after installation. The custom interior trim was poorly executed, with mismatched joints that should have been coped rather than pieced together. The finish work simply doesn't reflect the level of craftsmanship I expected from a premium contractor.

The painting was equally disappointing. The trim wasn't properly sanded before painting, leaving a rough finish. Paint runs were left on the windowsills, sections of trim were left unfinished, mismatched caulk was used, and a piece of paint-grade lumber was installed in a location where it was inappropriate. The result is a repair that looks out of place and, according to the installers, cannot be corrected without replacing the trim entirely.

Perhaps most frustrating is that nearly eight months later, the company is still sending technicians back to address problems that should have been resolved during the initial installation. Even worse, they repeatedly sent the same individuals back to fix issues they had originally created instead of assigning more experienced personnel.

The administrative side of the project was just as frustrating. Despite my contacting the company before my financing deadline, they failed to submit the paperwork to the financing company in time. I was assured this wouldn't be an issue and that the remaining balance could simply be added later. That turned out to be incorrect. Instead, I now have to secure a second loan for the same project at significantly higher interest rates because market rates increased while they failed to process the financing.

Throughout the project, I dealt with constant staff turnover, inconsistent communication, and a lack of ownership when problems arose. Taken together, it gave the impression of an organization struggling to retain skilled tradespeople and experienced administrative staff.

I understand that construction projects sometimes encounter unexpected issues. What separates a good company from a bad one is how those issues are handled. In my experience, Renewal by Andersen consistently failed to deliver the level of workmanship, project management, and customer service that their premium pricing promises.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.

I ordered the 3D wooden world map for my wife as a 5th anniversary present. The map is very beautiful snd the XL size fit perfectly on the wall I had in mind at our home. Ever since I put it up the kids have been studying it and asking lots of questions. We are excited to pin more of our adventures across the world. This is such an amazing product, and we are grateful that you have created it for our family to enjoy. Warm wishes from the States and hope for the best for the team in the Ukraine that have made this possible.
