It's funny how bold "Anonymous" can be, and we know who you are. We are sorry that you were let go and that our relationship didn't work out but we wish you luck where ever you end up. It is un professional though, to bad mouth a former employer, especially when you post as "Anonymous." It also voids any credibility you have.

Why don't you post who you are "ANONYMOUS"? Because you know that you will be balled into court/be arrested, that's why. Get on with your life.

wow sounds like a play pen is needed!!!!

Actually John, we have contacted your office and requested a call back. The failure was that your staff has not taken any action.

The elaborate software you state is only good as the people who act after receiving such messages from customers. By the way, what is your reply to not having someone return on the anniversary of the completed job to inspect the integrity of the job we gave you? I should not have to call you in Mass. to remind you what your written obligations are sir.

As I've written in my initial post, you can locate the job either by cost or by location that I have provided you. I sense that you're not interested. Policing is not needed.

However, it seems as though may other people and not only Mr. Brown have had problems with your business.

I'm sorry for any percieved inconvenience, but to get service, you need to start by calling our office. We have an elaborate software that tracks ALL correspondence including dates and times and you have not.

Instead of going on sites like this, it would do you better to simply call the office. You make it difficult for us to serve you if you don't let us know and have us find out by policing us responsibly, and regularly policing this site that was created by a disgruntled ex employee who we successfully sued to cease and desits, because with this framework created, it makes it easy for anyone with a vendetta due build on it.

The above "complaint" was written by Nick Maggelhaes (Google his name to see the credibility of this man's accusations.) Any intelligent person can see after reading it that that doesn't sound like a homeowner. He is very good at web optimization so he made this and others like it on multiple sites to make it look like there are several dissatisfied clients out there but they are all him and his sidekick, Richard Brown, with a similarly dubious history.

He was let go around the time he wrote this "review", and before he did, we got an extortion letter to pay an absurd amount of money he thought we owed him, or we'd see what he was capable of. We sued him in court and won a cease and desist order.

The opinions that matter, BBB, (A+) Angies List, (A) Dept Consumer Protection, 53+ interviewed and satisfied clients on youtube.com, are the opinions that we know homeowners care about. Mention this posting to our office, and if you feel that anything in this "review" is accurate after getting an estimate from us we will pay you $100 for your time.

Thank you for understanding that although we hire with the intention of providing better service and company growth, not every hire is a winner.

We are pleased to offer a FREE energy audit to any homeowner who is willing to invite us out to their home for a free demonstration and estimate of one of our home improvement products. This service for CT residents has a $75 copay that we will gladly pay for the opportunity to earn your business in the future. Visit us at CareFreeES.com or call 877-886-**** for details.

Hmmm. We service CT and Western MA yet the above "complaints" come from New Hampshire and Michigan??

Hey Frank? You're name doesn't appear in our database, nor does "Marc" in Danbury because we've never sided a home there??

As for the diatribe about James Wood and who we may or may not hire, why are you so interested in my business? Maybe you should spend your time filling out a resume instead of blogging about something you know nothing about?

The people who matter, the BBB, Angie's List, the CT DCP, and the over 50 clients on YouTube that are satisfied with our company, all recommend us, and that's good enough for us. So keep on typing, commenting, and making false claims since you all have so much time on your hands. I on the other hand have a successful business to run that is over 12 years old and growing.

Thank you to all our actual clients for 12 awesome years, and to all future homeowners who bless us with the opportunity to earn their business in the future.

Well.. They promised to inspect the expensive vinyl siding job on the anniversary and no one showed up.

They were called and they still never bothered to inspect their work. We were really scammed by this company.

Don't waste your time of hard earned money. Avoid them like the plague.

For any and all homeowners out there that are seeking a company for work on their home(s), understand this: There is nothing wrong with someone knocking at your door inviting you to a neighbors house to see the work they performed and then you asking for more information and setting up a consultation. There is nothing wrong with a representative coming out to your house and demonstrating the product so that you understand exactly how it works.

And finally there is nothing wrong with you placing your order that very night. Being a professional in this business for just a little over 5 years I do have one issue..the people that the inept and uneducated owner decided to hire. There is no longer a need for gimmicky sales pitches or deceptive practices to conjure up opportunities. Unfortunately, Mr.

Anglis decided that he couldn't be bothered to teach, develop and train his sales, marketing, customer service and installation people himself. Instead, he got suckered by yet another sales pitch from the infamous James Wood. A man who shut his own business down due to forged bank and contract documents on top of a slew of other lawsuits. He has floated between 12 or more other companies in the last 15 years using bait and switch tactics to teach the sales and marketing staff of each of these companies.

The problem is, the clueless drones working for him don't know any better and cannot think for themselves. But being the almighty 'Sales Manager' that he is, owners quickly learn from the problems he creates ethically that he is highly unethical and brings a damming reputation for any company he represents. Not to mention, his trusty companion Dwayne Tisdale and his thieving ways and the band of vagabonds they bring with them that are merely smooth talking, recently parolled ***-artists. Nothing against Carefree, but surely your company can be assessed for its moral and ethical value based on the people that represent you.

No homeowner should have to deal with the antics that these folks bring with them. Home Improvement should be a joyful and exciting experience, not one muddled with grief and regret. Mr.

Anglis..rethink your options and maybe relearn your craft because you are now in the calm before the storm.

To all homeowners, always solicit more than one bid and if something doesn't feel right during the demonstration you have the rite to ask them to leave. I've never been kicked out of a home because I know boundaries.

I have just suffered through the same pressure carefree Simsbury put on me to close the deal.

Just for the reader- I am a single female home owner

I have to be careful- with everyone who comes here-

I did not like that the sales guy would not leave when I asked him too.John you can't even try to blame the sales guy- because I last night- remembered the same thing happend in the past. I did have you guys out B4 and it spooked me then, when I wanted to get these windows done maybe about a year ago,and YOU also made mention of it when you were on the phone with the rep, thats why im double mad.

Look me up I'm not going to hide

I agree with Frank the BBB lost my respect too

I don't think there is anything outragous about a a person wanting time to look into companies they want to do business with before they sign- Im glad I did this time It is too bad for you- because the window was one of the ones I was thinking I wanted-

I, in case you were wondering- saw the other company information your guy tried to beat out of me last night- at your request, I saw them this morning,the rep was very polite.

OH_and John, your guy should have known I have very good hearing- when my brother who was there for a bit- got 2 phone calls and was in the other room- and me a the rep laughed cus I knew who he was talking to and what they were talking about.

Your company is run by disturbed people who are very shady. It's obvious that names are not left b/c feared threats.

Hopefully, many will read the above post and avoid you. Maybe then your deceptive business pratices and rude / obnoxious employess will find work in another industry. Incidentally, the BBB is currently being investigated for it's questionable pratices with companies like yours.

Speculation of payoff's to receive a favorable rating. This too will be exposed within time.

If a person is going to make outrageous claims like this, is it too much to ask they state their name so that we may judge the credibility of the person as well as the statements made?

Is it a disgruntled ex employee? Is it a competitor tired of losing head to head bids with our company? Is it one of those customers that no matter what you do you cannot please them?

Go to BBB.org and find our A+ rating. Go to the DCP and find 8 open and swiftly closed (non issue) complaints in 10 years. And go to CareFreeES.com to our testimonials page and see what real customers, who aren't afraid to give their name and town have to say about our company!

They are bullies,they come into your home and push you until your head spins,glad I didn't buy from them.there price was much higher than others

There must be a reason that "wackos" hit your company from a cyberperspective. Your company owner has significant anger issues and I for one will not waste time debating his business practice and tactics.

Your so called BBB rating does not accuratly refelct the way your company conducts operations within the recent past. You're tactics and operational policies are highly unauthodox and misleading.

Dear Mr. Angliss,

I left two messages requesting a call back because of a problem that exists from a total vinyl siding job you completed 2 years ago in North Branford Ct on my home.

The bedroom exterior screen will not fit on the aluminum material that your installation tech. installed and needless to say, we wish to have it fit properly. Additionally, your salesman provided us with a document stating that the job would be inspected on the anniversary of the job for the following 5 years as well as energy saving committment to reimburse for non-impacted energy savings cost that I don't forsee as being realistic. It just sounded good at the time of the sales pitch (although I never believed that a promise such as that could be delivered).

So far, neither a phone call was returned nor was the job inspected as appears in your documents when that you provided. Perhaps this was an oversight on your part. You have my name as I have not chosen to remain unknown to you. You have my contact information in your files since I was called many times by your employees to have a check ready before the entire installation job prior to its' completion.

Let's see if you stand behind your commitment to your customer. I await your response.

Marc Landau PA

We are sorry for the inconvenience that kimnewbs experienced. Our rep drastically under priced the job, so we immediately returned her deposit instead of cutting every corner necessary in order to completed it within that budget.

We have since parted ways with that representative. I am disappointed though in the fact that statements about other customers experiencing the same thing and that proof of measurements exist to proove that \"the owner\" does this regularly. Where is the proof and who are the others?

We have a fantastic reputation and come highly recommended by our clients. We also thank the comments below from someone who accurately states: \"you got your money back and went with another contractor so how did you get screwed?CareFreeES.com 860-793-****

Our mission at Carefree Energy Solutions is to create a win, win, win environment for our clients, our employees, and our company by conducting ourselves as if the whole world is watching, and offering solutions to problems instead of just selling products.CarefreeES.com 877-886-****

Sarah is Sarah Figgie of West Harftord CT. We visited their home 2 times to address their roof issue. The 1st time Sarah turned us away because her husband wasn't home. The 2nd time Peter Figgie (Husband) turned us away because he wanted me to service the roof. I am not qualified to do so, that is why both times we sent Brian, our roofing technician to do it. Both of these examples were admitted as evidence and corroberated by Sarah and Peter Figgie, as well as Brian, who made both trips to there home. Sarah says they "won" but the majistrate only awarded them 1/2 of what they were looking for, without ANY punitive damages from our company. we think that is fair because we acknowledge that their roof needed servicing, and now they have the money to do so, the money that we tried to invest in resolving this issue from the beginning. Sarah even complains about recieving the money within the perameters set by the majistrate.

When we were Carefree Home Improvements our CT reg # was 567904. It remains 567904 as CareFree Energy Solutions. The name change was simply marketing ourselves as energy conservation specialists who solve problems as opposed to just another home improvement company selling products.

We are thankful to our clients who understand that there are 2 sides to every story. Some have even commented on our behalf within this site. It's true what they say: You can't please everybody everytime, no matter how hard you try.

Anybody who is interested in the "FULL STORY" to this or any other posted issue, please contact us at 860-793-****

This company is extremely unprofessional. Their Better Business Rating is unaccurate.

They had to change company names from Carefree Home Improvements to Carefree Energy Solutions so they could avoid a bad rating. My husband and I had to take them to court over the imcompetent roofing job they did on our house. We won and they were required to send us money.

They waited until the very last day given by the judge to send it to us...playing with us until the end. Avoid this company at all costs!!

being in the home improvement business for many years I dont believe that this is the way an unhappy employee gets back at its employer. Ripping off people and putting the company he works for in this position. This salesman should go to work as a trashman cause that is what he is thash.

Rip off artists. The owner is a *** head who will steal your last nickel.

My wife and I saw this company at the Hartford Home show earlier this year. Along with other companies, we scheduled appointments for them to come out and give us a quote.

TWICE they did not show up. The first time we gave them the benefit of the doubt. After the second time, we decided they weren't worth it and went with another company. Still, they call us and attempt to give their sales pitch and get an appointment, so far four times to date.

I have told them each time that we are not interested, remove us from their call list, and DO NOT call again. Apparently their management either doesn't listen, doesn't care, or is incompetent. I have told them that we are on the no call list, both national and state, and any further calls will be considered harrassment and reported as such.

For those of you who have had good experiences with this company, good for you. Anyone else, do yourself a favor and find a different company.

:eek

Is a kettle calling a pot black?

:upset

Not nice to bring up someones past errors that possibly they already paid thier due-

I do agree sending someone into a homeowner's house should have a background check. sounds like you found out the hard way John :x

My experience was a 30/70. I liked the product, it was presented well, and the rep was personable. BUT what I did not like, as we wrap up, I'm tired and it's getting late, there was the lengthily phone call from the carefree office talking about me- in front of me.

I felt it was a waste of more of my time and later the rep was unrelenting about getting me to sign the deal- I made it clear 100x I was going to do more research on different products. It was very difficult to get him to leave, and that angered me and will be taken into account in my final decision. No other company bullied me as this one did- others I had in to show products respected my right to shop around.

The deal right from the get go was designed around signing that day and and it would be like 1000.00 more if I waited even 1 day, That pretty much is the deal breaker.

A great product will sell itself

Go figure...a disgruntled former employee that hates his old boss. Where have we heard that before?? However, I always thought we were closer to Sonny and Cher as opposed to Bonnie and Clide.

We are sorry that Mr. Brown didn't succeed with our company, nor the another home improvement company he went after. Obviously, with an A+ BBB record, and only 8 complaints logged in the last 10 years with the Dept of Consumer protection, (None were actionable and sumarily dismissed)Mr Brown's comments are opinions and unfounded at that.

Further more, the DCP DID review our unique warranty package, as did our legal council, and and had no objection to the way we conduct our business.

Papanick19 is Nicholas Magalhaes. Google his name and find out why not only are his opinions and comments not credible.(he spent time in white collar prison for Bernie Madoff type crimes) He's also gotten himself in trouble again by losing a lawsuit for defamation from a company who was charitable enough to give him a second chance, and didn't even have the courage to show up to defend himself!

To any and all companies/homeowners: Take my advice, as much as we may feel it in our hearts to give back,conduct background checks before letting anyone in your company or home, it's not worth it.

Google "Nicholas Magalhaes"(Bernie Madoff, Jr.) a friend of "Richard" (Convicted Mail fraud felon").

"Let he who has never sinned, cast the first stone."

To convey all the disatisfaction that this sketchy company has caused would take an entire day. Most of the vinyl siding industry is full if solid gold plated phonies that could not tell the truth and conduct an honest sale if their kids lives were dependent upon it.

Care Free Energy Solutions that operates out of Simsbury CT is no exception. Don't even consider having their crooked sales people gain entrance into your home. He or she will torture you with false promises that boast false warranty, "Apples to Apples" price guarantee statements that make it difficult to compare prices with "their brand of siding", and sheer intimidation that will have you either reporting them to the State of CT Department of Consumer Affairs or notifying the State Attorney General to report their unorthodox and unfair actions. Stay away from this company and the long list of customer referrals they will furnish you with to buy your confidence.

They lie about everything. We checked out their "satisfied customer list" and found there were a significant amount of customers who had a poor opinion of them.

What does that say about a business owner that delivers a manifest of disatisfied customers to potential buyers. AVOID THESE SHADY CROOKS THAT PREY UPON HONEST HOMEM OWNERS AT ALL COST.
