Sahara Window and Doors

If I could zero stars I would.  This company is absolutely horrible and installs windows incorrectly.  They are also known as American Thermal Windows.  The windows that were installed FAILED the inspection by the city inspector.  The city inspector noted the window frame structure was improperly installed.  The city inspector also further noted that the window was unprofessionally installed.  This company's chief engineer, the salesman, and installer that inspected the windows prior to the city inspector's review stated nothing was wrong with the installation despite windows frame extended beyond the structure of the home and excessive installation in some areas to cover their incorrect installation.   I have had two other window companies review installation and both companies have confirmed either the window size is not accurate or the installers did not center the window properly in the frame.  I have requested on multiple occasions that the company return and remove and re-install the windows properly and they have refused to re-install the window properly and correct the issue of incorrect window frame installation.  Run and run far from American Thermal Window and Doors and Sahara Windows and Doors, same company but different names.

Purchased 10 windows last September, took 7+ weeks to arrive, installed in November 2018 and have had nothing but issues with the installation of the windows .  I thought the installation was going okay until the end of the day when we noticed they wouldn't open, there were gaps in the center of the wnidow by the wood casing where you can see straight to the outside, the worng casing was nailed up and took myelf to  call it out,  missing handles,  weather stripping put in backwards, a defective window, and on it goes.  We currently stil lhave one window that doesn't stay up. The people who work in the office for both divisions American Thermal and Sahara are rude and unpleasant to deal with (Rosie) though the installers seem normal.  I had to have Marvin come out twice to fix their mistakes.  The windows were stained and painted in which Sahara sub-contracted the work and my windows were all damaged. We found out the hard way that Sahara/American Thermal Windows does not stand by their workmanship as they refuse to fix the list of issues but started bullying tactics to get paid in full.   People need to start speaking up aginst companies such as this one so others can be informed.  STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!

Tony and Janusz did a fantastic job installing our storm doors. They look great, arrived on schedule, and the new cappings are nice and tight.

They have very good service. They do a lot of custom work.

Target

Always clean and well organized. There can be a wait at the customer service desk for order pick or returns. Seems like there's only 1 person there at a time. There isn't usually a big wait in the checkout line. Drive up is always fast and friendly.

Target is my go-to shopping place. The associates are friendly, the stores are well organized and clean, and the checkout is quick.  The ease of returns are also painless. They give you 90 days to return, unless specified otherwise. There are also several  bonuses shopping @Target like receiving cash back on every purchase just by signing up for Target Citcle. Download the Target app and start earning reward money for Everyday purchases.  Not to mention, when you have the app, and input your Target Circle number at the checkout, your receipts are saved there just in case you lose the paper receipt. You can also view and save coupons in the app. You get 5% donated to a school of your choice. You get 5% off your purchase for your birthday that can be used anytime within that month...I think. Then there's Pick-up and Drive-up options for your lazy days. Oh, and you can search for and item in the app to see if it's available at your store, that way you don't make a blank trip. You can pull up the app while in store to get the location of an item too. So there's no need to be walking around in circles looking for something because the aisle info is included...and this works for any store, just select your current store location and Voila. The list goes on, but this list should help  you decide what you wanna do 😘

I’m appalled at the young lady in the fitting room area who told my daughter she can try on something as long as she doesn’t leave it in the fitting room and when she’s done she needs to bring it out I’m utterly disgusted it’s like everything in me not to go off on her I was very offended that she would say something like that Is her job to make sure that the fitting rooms are clean? Not my daughters people leave stuff in the fitting rooms all the time and for her to make the comment I took it as she was being racist and at the same Talking down on my daughter my daughter is grown she might not look like it but she is. I spoke with the manager about the situation and she assured me that she would address it. I did not stick around to see what happened because the store was closing. I will not be back in this location.

I love Target! Most of the time they have what I need. Their home decore  department is nice, but they don't have to many sales in this department. Today I came in for a body and hair mist I really like and also picked up a cute little mini cake stand.

The customer service was severely lax called 25 times altogether to see if they had the item we online ordered no answer or just got hung up on. Cashier couldn’t be bothered to get off the phone when we went to check out. I work in retail and that was awful. maybe have a meeting and discuss how to answer store phones and stay off of personal phones.

Ace Handyman Services Lake Cook

First time using this service. The handyman Robert was great with my dogs! He changed my front door lock and deadbolt and then aligned it properly so it would actually work! He noticed that my storm door was missing a lock and fashioned one out of a piece of metal in his truck!
Completely satisfied and will use their service again!
Thank you!

I had  my front entry door repaired with re sanding and re staining. Al the “door doctor” did a fabulous job. His first  try at staining, the wood wouldn’t cooperate so he didn’t hesitate at all to re strip and start over. My front door looks amazing.  Al’s friendliness and work ethic are perfect examples of the great reputation ACE HARDWARE  has established. I will definitely be using ACE’S HANDYMAN services again in the future!

100% recommend! I used their handyman services and later hired them for basement remodeling. Chris, Al, and everyone I met are friendly, they’re willing to work with my schedule and small requests here and there, and the price was reasonable. Martha in the office is one of the sweetest people I’ve talked to. Very happy with my experience

Andre was very knowledgeable about what each job entailed and explained things clearly.  He was courteous and very professional.  On time and neat appearance.   Articulate and focused.  Would definitely use his expertise again!  Thank you!

Great experience with Andre. Precisely on time, and a really sweet person,  in addition to doing really good work - he even cheerfully affixed the star to the top of my Christmas tree! HIGHLY  recommended.  My Christmas has been exponentially improved!🎄

John W Weiss Ace Hardware

This is not just one experience, but many, many over the years.  From getting keys cut to random light bulb searches, to ant repellent products, cleaning products and any time I need a solution to something - over YEARS - Weiss is my one stop shop!  Not only haves they solved/helped me solve issues, but the staff is OUTSTANDING!!  These guys are true pros and experts!  I trust them implicitly. They carry a huge variety of products.  Doormats, anyone? aprons? car products? Placemats? Shower and tub issues? This particular has it all and more.  You cannot top their customer service, expertise, knowledge!!

John is the key wizard!!!  He was able to make me a copy of programmed car key and was super fast.  This Ace also has plenty of helpful and friendly staff. 5 star customer experience!

Excellent Ace Hardware store. A huge variety of items in stock, excellent customer service from employees, and very neat and clean store. Love shopping here.

While they can’t beat the selection of and some of the prices of the products in a big box store, they have excellent and friendly customer service. The store associates  are well-versed in all matters home-related. This is a great alternative for those who don’t want  to spend 20 minutes at Menards or Home Depot chasing a clueless associate down to find you the wrong product which you will end up having to return .

Friendly and helpful staff. So much easier to find things than the big box stores. Everyone is helpful.i was at home depot earlier, waited for help even after they called on radio for someone, no one came after 15 mins so i left went to ace and found what i needed.

School of Rock

My son has had an incredible experience with a great teacher/drummer Alex. He’s come so far I’m glad we moved him to School of Rock.

My 7 year old son loves his music lessons and band practice.  Highly recommend.

LOVE School of Rock!  My daughter has had such a wonderful experience her, both 1 on 1 lessons and the Rock 101 groups.  SOR has taken her playing to the next level.  Highly recommend.

It’s been over 3 years since our daughter joined School of Rock.  Along with voice, piano, guitar lessons, it’s been awesome to see our daughter flourish.  Her confidence and ability to socialize with people have been values added. The teachers are so talented and have the heart of gold.  In addition, I’ve been taking adult voice lessons and participate in the adult band for the past 1yr 1/2. It’s been a lot of fun getting to know fellow band members while enjoying singing. It’s such a mental therapy... a happy place!

We LOVE School of Rock Highwood. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make sure my kids have the best experience each week. They have grown so much over the past few years and we love hearing them play with their bands. We love that they have the opportunity to learn their own instrument with amazing teachers and also work with a group each week during band practice. Highly recommend School of Rock Highwood for kids all all ages!

Ace Hardware of Skokie

My go-to for quick hardware store needs. Easy to get in and out of, kind, friendly, local staff, prices and inventory is decent. Way better experience than the big boxes.

I prefer this location due to the customer service. Ray is very knowledgeable. Even if Ace does not have it, he is able to check if I can order it now and pick it up in store.

I had to give 1 Star so I could write the review, they deserve zero star. This place isn't good anymore as was few years back. They have staff who don't know what to suggest if we ask. And if we buy something as per third suggestion, and if it doesn't work, they have very rude attitudes towards returning of the products they sold wrongfully.

My go-to for quick hardware store needs. Easy to get in and out of, kind, friendly, local staff, prices and inventory is decent.

I talked to three people at the store and everyone was super helpful and kind.

Walmart Supercenter

Awful employee. She refused to open this sliding door in the baby area. This lady with the blue jacket is unprofessional.

The store is always clean whenever I visit and the inventory is plentiful. Helpful staff as well. The bakery department made my girls birthday cake and everyone said it was delicious.

Checked the in store availability of the plastic cookie containers I have purchased there for around the last 10 years, and the only store showing stock was the Olive Branch store. I drove 45 minutes from my house only to find they did NOT have them in stock. If you’re going to offer an app that shows stock, it should be accurate. Do better, WalMart!

1 star is too many!!!!

Between 2:00 &2:45, my daughter is checking out. Her cashier failed to greet her! Better yet,  never spoke a word yet she managed to look like she was disgusted that my daughter even spoke to her. She took a 20lb. frozen turkey and dropped into the bag nearly breaking the turntable the bags were dispensed from. People like this make a bad name for businesses which is most likely why you guys have closed so many stores. Get it together Walmart!

For Walmart this is a most excellent store. It is in a nice area, which may be why the store is so nice. I noticed great floors organized shelves and overall friendly staff! I thought the variety was a bit more vast here than in other locations for sure. I did though notice gas was 15 cents more at this store than the Hornlake lake location. I also enjoyed the different restaurants around the store.

I had a simple issue on my curbside order at the thief river falls MN store.i ran out of time to add a product and switch my substitution. When i called to speak to someone..i was met with very polite and pleasant customer service. Even with it being so close to the holidays, i want to thank the team lead cindy for going above and beyond for a customer..she added another container of the product i purchased free of charge for the inconvenience and went out of her way to add a very nice merry christmas note as well for me..merry christmas to you and your family cindy and you made my day and my christmas with such a small act of kindness that ment so much.

I love Walmart! I enjoy going to Walmart to find items I need. It always seems if I need to get something really quick they have exactly what I need in more places than one. The staff are always friendly, The store is always clean. There are so many options to choose here, from tools, fishing, toys, baking, grilling, gardening, food, art supplies and so much more. I went to this store at 9 am. There was no line and I was so thankful, I was rushing to get my appointment on time with very specific items. Walmart did not fail me by keeping me a super long line. I would recommend this place to friends and family. Thank you!

I just moved here recently and this Walmart confuses the hell out of me.

My Walmart from my hometown wasn't a super Walmart and has half the building size and somehow still has more products than this Walmart?

Also there is a huge amount of ..."staff"? That are never wearing their "Walmart" vest or anything, which honestly makes me kind of uncomfortable. It becomes hard to know who's an employee and who is just there to talk to their friends.

Caleb the coach of customer service is amazing!! He went and above and beyond for me And saved Christmas at a mental health facility! Thank you again Caleb! You are the bestest!!!!!

The girls in the baking department were phenomenal!! They went above and beyond to make my neices birthday cake a huge surprise...wanted a design that they didn't have in the books and the girls made it even better than what they thought they could do. Thank you so much!!!

I love that my kids are learning music in a way that is fun for them and that they’re able to perform for others so quickly. Not only are they benefiting from the musical education, they’re developing the courage and poise necessary to perform on stage. Also, they love interacting with their bandmates and teachers, and they feel very much a part of a team. They are motivated to do their best learning and performing their songs so they don’t let their teammates down. They have tried other music programs before, but the School of Rock way has by far been the best.

The School of Rock program is approachable and suitable for people with a variety of different learning styles. The music selections rock, and the instructors are all active in their fields, and know how to talk to kids without talking down to them.
The performance program has been a confidence boost for both of my teens.

Excellent program with many opportunities for the students. Great instructors! My daughter has been blessed to have Jeff for her drum teacher. He is kind, knowledgeable in many instruments and has a great and patient way of teaching children. He makes learning fun!

School of Rock Germantown isn't just a corporate franchise with some vague purpose of playing music.  It's run by great people, and they have a very specific purpose: to teach your kid how to rock.  You'll get to know people like Ken (the owner), Kris (show director), Jeff (house band director), and many more who love music and are passionate about sharing it.  These people will take your child's natural talent and focus it like a laser on becoming a great musician.  A musician with talent and stage presence.

There is a long list of things that make playing live music difficult.  You have to get a band together, book gigs, find a place to practice, etc.  As an aside, try finding a parent that has the space and the patience to allow a big rock band to practice in their house.  Once you find that parent you have to find neighbors that like it as well because it is LOUD  :)   That is all taken care of by School of Rock.  All your kid has to do is play.  In a way it's just like sports, all you have to do is practice and play, the league sets up everything else.  It's perfect because all of your kids energy is directed toward music, not logistics.

Our son started off in the regular shows, then auditioned for the House Band.  He made the cut and got a tremendous amount of experience playing in front of live crowds at places like BB Kings, Club 152, Miglewood Hall, and the Hard Rock Cafe among many others.  He then went on the summer tour where he and his house band friends shredded in front of crowds all up and down the Mississippi River.  They played gigs in St. Louis, Chicago, and even the worlds largest music festival: Summer Fest in Milwaukee (headlined by bands like Tom Petty and the Red Hot Chili Peppers).  It was an AMAZING run for those kids to play so much and for such a wide variety of audiences.

I can tell you that School of Rock Germantown is a big part of my kids life, he will forever remember it as a tremendously fun period of time where learned and played, made a bunch of great friends, and also gained a deep base of experience in playing live music that he'll retain forever.

If your kid wants to play, this is an AWESOME outlet for his or her musical energy and curiosity.  Some kids will even discover an inner "rock monster".   If that's the case, hang on tight because you could be in for a wildly fun ride that will see your kid playing in front of thousands of people and touring the country this summer.  The only limit is how bad the kid wants it.  If your kid loves music and practices like a madman, then his success is guaranteed.

My kid is eighteen now and moving on to college.  They played to a packed house at Neils last night and I kid you not, when my kid came off stage last night he had ladies I've never seen hugging him.  THAT my friends, is confirmation that you've attained rock star status.

My 14yo daughter has been taking voice and keyboard lessons at School of Rock in Germantown and absolutely loves it!  She looks forward to every lesson.  Everyone from their manager, Savoya, to her teacher, Sara, and all the students she has gotten to know...it has become more like a second family.  She is growing in confidence in her abilities because of their support and encouragement.  And, as a parent, I appreciate the feedback that is emailed after each session.

My daughter is participating in her first concert in Sept.  The kids get first-hand experience at actually performing, and aren't confined to simply learning from or performing for their instructor.  We LOVE School of Rock!

Ace Hardware

I visited after hearing good things about this location for years. Sign in window says they repair window screens (confirmed). I wanted to know the size (measurements) of the shopping cart on display. The young man behind counter said the box was in the basement and measurements were not available. It took too long to be acknowledged and offered service. I'll go back for the large selection of items and window screen service. High traffic area. Street (metered) parking. Be prepared to walk.

If i could leave a -0 star review I would. The person at the front desk recommended a plumber that was according to him "reliable" but I would soon find out that was a lie. I spoke to the plumber who said his name is Jose this guy is a joke he was not prepared at all with any tools he works for 2 to 3 hours max at a time and he doesn't know what he's doing. He literally said the job was done and turns out he didn't fix a thing then, I found out that ACE Hardware recommends this guy as long as he buys the necessary tools from them. The landlord ended up providing some new pipes for him to install and turns out he "installed" one (he didn't) and he stole the rest. I later found out that he has done this same kind of half-a$$ sloppy "work" to other people.

Great hardware store.  Fast quality service. Highly recommend it.

Loved that the clerk offered to order what I needed; since it wasn't in stock.

Staff is always very nice and knows what I need. I get a lot of my keys copied here and they also carry gardening dirt. Thank you.
