Dear Mr. Lemon,
Just a note to thank you for our beautiful new porch. First, we appreciate Aaron for giving us the idea, and then thanks to Jessie & Lucas who worked a long, hot day to get it installed! We really love the improvement the Operable Pergola has made to our home.
I’m loving the pergola! They did a great job! I’ll be enjoying this space for years to come!
When we described what we had in mind for a pergola with our designer, Rich, he indicated that they had never installed a pergola like we were describing, but said they would be able to build one for us. He designed one on his computer to see if that was what we had in mind, and it was. Rich was a pleasure to work with, and not only patient and knowledgable, he is honest and a gentleman.
At no time did W. A. Zimmer over-promise and under-deliver!
Apparently, you sent us the A-Team for the installation of our pergola. Jesse and Brandon did an outstanding job of installing our pergola! They kept us informed of what they were going to do and the estimated time for the completion of the installation. If we had any questions, Jesse always took the time to answer them.
Jesse and Brandon were like “Poetry in Motion”, always working, never taking a break. We have never seen workers so dedicated to getting the job done! W. A. Zimmer is blessed to have them as employees.
We have had people stop by to get a closer look at our pergola and mentioned how beautiful it is. Hopefully, you will receive some business from some of them.
God bless all of you, and thank you for taking care of us!

John was great in every aspect of the sales consultation process! Also, he was always available by phone with any questions we had along the way.

The young lady at the showroom is very knowledgeable of all the products – very helpful. We came to the showroom about 1:00 pm and Jason came to our house at about 4:00 pm that afternoon and by 5:30 we signed an agreement for our new Pavilion Roof.
The installers are craftsmen, their work is excellent – just a great job on our sunroom 4 years ago and now on our new Pavilion Roof.
Bill Zimmer was great to work with and I know this was a difficult project for him. He was very patient and very responsive throughout the process. Bill was very helpful in meeting our budget requirements, but still giving us the look we wanted. Much, much appreciated.
The installer Bill was a great guy! Lots of attention to detail and specifics. Did a fantastic job at cleaning up. We will always use W.A. Zimmer for future projects.
Your installers are the “BEST” I have ever seen. When I asked a question about the sunroom your installers answered all my questions. I would like to thank all of the W.A. Zimmer people from the showroom all the way to the installers. Thank you very much for a job well done.
A big “THANK YOU” to Bill for all the extra effort on our room enclosure. We will recommend W.A. Zimmer to anyone who asks and a lot of that has to do with the quality and craftsmanship of his work.

Really impressed with the storm door and there was no pressure to buy. The installers were great workers and they cleaned up their mess.
The young lady we talked to inside the showroom was very helpful. She was full of personality, and we enjoyed her help very much.

They also kept us informed on their progress.
Our initial contact inside the showroom was courteous and friendly. Our designer was very knowledgeable and worked well with us to fill our need. The installation crew worked very hard under very trying weather conditions. Overall we give them a “10” with our W.A. Zimmer experience.
