Nation's Choice (Nations Choice) customer experiences are mixed, with strong praise for workmanship and professionalism in multiple exterior projects but notable complaints about sales techniques and communications.
Positive experiences and practical details:
- Workmanship praised across projects: siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, roofing, doors, windows, and decks.
- Specific individuals and service quality cited: the owner and installers described as professional; John Kim praised as honest and knowledgeable.
- Efficient project highlights: one-day roof replacement with thorough cleanup; door and window installations described as turning out well; a previously incorrect screen door was replaced at no cost.
- Deck and exterior work: Trex deck replacement (stairs), back fence work, and deck-related improvements noted as quick and attractive.
- Financing and pricing: some customers reported easy financing and satisfactory pricing; overall value and customization highlighted.
Negative experiences and practical details:
- Aggressive sales and persistent calling: multiple customers report frequent cold calls, with several requests to stop them ignored; some describe this as harassment.
- Quotes and pricing concerns: at least one customer reported not receiving a written quote after an in-person estimate and felt the quoted price was excessive; others questioned markup relative to independent material costs.
- Employment and dispute issues: a former employee alleged unpaid wages; another comment described the company in strongly negative terms.
- Reliability of recommendations: a few reviewers explicitly discourage requesting a quote, while others remain very positive and would hire again.
Overall takeaway for potential customers:
- The company appears capable of delivering high-quality exterior work with professional crews and responsive project execution on several jobs.
- Potential customers should seek written quotes and clear scope details, be prepared for aggressive outreach during the sales process, and verify pricing up front to avoid misunderstandings.
