Report
I recently had SpacePak installed in a 100yo bungalow and I was very pleased with the professionalism of the team. From planning through install the team was highly professional, proactive, flexible and respectful of my time and property. They were not the cheapest but the overall experience was so painless that it was well wort it in the end. A special shout out to Cesar and Michael who handled the installation.
They worked hard, showed up on time, had positive attitudes, kept me apprised of changes, were respectful of my property, handled changes professionally and finished when the said they would. It's too soon to comment on support and effectiveness but the install went very well.

I had a fantastic experience with American Vintage Homes. They replaced our HVAC system. They were very honest and upfront with the costs and were always responsive. Bobby and Ian did a great job. As a realtor I will be recommending their services to all my clients. I worked with Bruce with everything and it was a great experience. Thank you guys!

I have used American Vintage Home in the past and they have always been knowledgeable and prompt. During my recent SpacePak AC install, Bobby was amazing. I had a lot of questions and some requests about placement and he double checked on my specific asks. He really went above and beyond. overall, super professional and easy to work with!

Gus was extremely professional and helpful and took the time to explain the problems to me very clearly. He shared all options and gave us a number of alternatives so we could make the best choices at the best price. This company is totally responsive, fast and compassionate when you have an emergency and you're freaking out. Highly recommend!

Jerry came out the same day that I called after his workday because I had been without my sewer draining for 6 days because of another company, even though I live 30 miles from Evanston. He is the consummate licensed plumbing engineer and customer service representative. Jerry was able to diagnose and plan for what the problem was and what had to be done. Eventually the estimate came in $5,000. less than a previous estimate and was completed by Spencer and Tyler were professional, efficient, and effective with the complete job, even the repair of the damage, done in half a day. I was impressed so that I will subscribe to the service plan to have the peace of mind of having this company help me keep my home safe, comfortable, and growing in value.
