Suburban Construction Customer Testimonials

“Your company recently completed siding our home – complete with a gorgeous new front door with side panels and gutters. Our salesman, Bob Clancy was more than accommodating and very pleasant with whom to work…The crew manager was a pleasure and most accommodating. He and his crew did all they could to please us and that they did! Our house looks outstanding and we are more than pleased with everyone who made it look this way!”

- Frank and Irene DeClercq of East Moline, Illinois


“We want to thank Suburban Construction for commendable service. More than nine years ago, we had Suburban replace all the windows in our home with replacement windows, insulated with low e Argon gas. The installation work was high quality, and after nine years it remains high quality. While we expected (and have observed) the great improvement in thermal insulation (good heat retention in the winter, and lower air conditioning costs in the summer), we were immediatly surprised by the sound insulation the windows provided. Living along Middle Road, there is a lot of traffic, and the sound level we now have is very much less than before – we barely hear cars and trucks going by, and often have to look outside to learn that it is raining, or to know that the wind has picked up.

Recently, we noticed what appeared to be moisture collecting near the bottom of one pair of windows in our upstairs bathroom. We found that this was neither on the inside nor the outside, but appeared to be between the panes of glass. We called Suburban to describe the condition, and were told that this meant that the seal for the inert gas was apparently no longer secure and that the windows should be replaced. They asked for the window measurement information, said “We'll take care of it.” and ordered replacement windows. As soon as they arrived, we recieved a call, set up an appointment date and time, 10 minutes ahead of time, a technician arrived, removed the glass units from both upper and lower and replaced them with the new glass units. This service cost nothing, after 9 years. We recieved a followup letter from the management team, checking to be sure the problem had been solved and asking us to call, immediatly, if anything further needed to be done.

We often learn that “parts are no longer avaible for that model ”, or that doesn't work either cannot be repaired or repair costs are excessive. How nice to deal with a company that does what it says, when it says, and whose guarantee is good. It is only appropriate that such service be commended. We try to share information about our experiences with business and products. We gladly recommend Suburban Construction, based on our 9 years experience with the people and their window products ”

- Don and Mary Schaefer Bettendorf, Iowa


“Dear Team Members, My wife and my self would like to thank you for the super service that we have gotten from you on a couple of occasions.

“We compared Suburban’s high efficiency windows with others of comparable quality and found they were competitively priced. Then we checked with a number of former customers of Suburban and found none that were dissatified, so we had all upstairs windows replaced. We found that the installation was equal to the quality of the windows themselves, so we had all the rest of the windows replaced and also decided to replace all gutters and downspouts. It is nice to work with people who provide quality products and take pride in their work, and we would recommend Suburban Construction to others.”

Please contact us or see our huge showroom to discuss your particular vinyl window, sunroom or siding needs. Specialists of quality replacement windows, siding, sunrooms, roofing, gutter cap, heater cap, entry doors, storm doors and estimates are always free. Who is Suburban Construction? Brian Girskis launched Suburban Construction in 1985 and the family-owned and operated company is growing strong some 25 years and two generations later. His son, J.R. Girskis, is the company president and the third generation was born a few months ago. The Davenport-based company supplies and installs windows, siding and doors for the residential market. In 25 years, Suburban has completed more than 24,000 jobs. “We are always focused on the customer,” said general manager Darin Wilson. “Without the customer, we don’t have a business.” The company was honored as a 2007 Dealer of the Year by Associated Materials Inc., or AMI. “Suburban Construction is a company that definitely goes over and above servicing their customers,” Wayne Fredrick, executive vice president of AMI Sales, said. Working with a large customer base allows Suburban to purchase and buy goods for substantially less then its competitors, Wilson said. “We’re one of the only companies in the nation that offers a lifetime warranty on the product after we install it,” he said. The company doesn’t make money if things go wrong after the installation so crews make sure the job is done properly, he said. With energy conservation such a huge concern, products offered have the Energy Star rating so homeowners see savings on their energy bills. “With today’s home market being so inconsistent, it’s easier to have someone come in and give you a new home on top of your current home rather than having to pack up all your stuff,” he said. For example, by installing new insulated siding, Wilson added, an older home can essentially be turned into a new residence. Founder Brian Girskis still keeps a hand in the business. He was in the manufacturing and wholesale end of the industry in the 1970s and 1980s and distributed material to companies similar to Suburban. “I saw they weren’t generating any repeat business. I learned what not to do from those other people,” Girskis said. “Most of our business is referral business and that’s what we want to keep.” The office and showroom originally were based in downtown Bettendorf. Girskis relocated the company to Davenport in 1995. His decision to specialize in windows, siding and doors was based on two factors: getting better buying power that is passed onto the consumer and building something of value, Girskis said. “We try to do a Cadillac for the price of a Chevy. I’m very satisfied but we’re always looking to do better,” he said. Products Suburban Construction specializes in: Replacement Windows from AMI – Suburban Construction and quality windows by Associated Materials Incorporated, set the standard by which other replacement windows are measured. Innovation has resulted in a collection of windows that are designed and engineered to provide beauty, performance, ease of operation, virtually no maintenance, and increased energy-efficiency. You want a fair price. Don’t be misled by others offering replacement windows for a cheap price. Often times, this is a low-end window you might use for a garage, not your home. Usually, this cheap price doesn’t include measuring charges, custom sizing, replacing rotten wood, insulating inside weight cavities and around perimeters, or covering the outside window trim with maintenance-free aluminum and sealant. At Suburban, you always get a complete installation without any hidden costs. Gutter Cap is a must for the bitter midwest winters! Ice and snow build up in gutters, causing gutter seams to break! In addition, the weight of heavy snow causes gutters to loosen while the back up of ice behind gutters causes moisture damage to fascia. · The Gutter Cap combines surface tension with “capillary action!” This patented design allows rainwater to adhere to the dome of the cap while leaves and debris blow OFF the roof. · Your existing gutter is a free flowing drainage system with Gutter Cap. · Gutter Cap saves you the time, hassle & DANGER of cleaning Gutters…plus saves you upwards of thousands of dollars in damage each year! Some vinyl siding has a reputation for being flimsy, which not only make is awkard to handle and install, but caused problems with sagging and uneven walls long after installation. The Freedom Vinyl Siding from Suburban Construction is designed to help eliminate wavy lines and uneven walls. This leads to the production of a superior finished quality that really lasts. The Freedom Viny Collection is Designed with optimal performance and outstanding beauty. Loaded with premium features, Freedom Premium Vinyl Siding boasts a premium thickness. Freedom Premium Vinyl Siding from Suburban is the best investment you can make in your home and is perfect for every siding project. Wood doors aren't very energy efficient. They also crack, swell, warp and rot, leading to frequent maintenace. Steel doors are more durable, but they easily dent, ding and rust. And if a door's parts aren't designed as a system, they won't work well together or stand the test of time. A fiberglass door simply outperforms wood and steel doors. It won't crack, swell, rot, dent, ding or rust - so it's virtually maintenance free. And only Therma-Tru fiberglass entryways offer full door systems designed, built and tested to the industry's highest standards. You may consider the addition of storm doors to be an unnecessary expense, and may even believe that adding storm doors will decrease the beauty of your home or bring down its market value. Many realtors agree, however, that the addition of storm doors can actually improve your home’s market value, as storm doors will help, in general, to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Energy zoning with triple pane freedom maxx 10 windows can help save you great money. Sun Clean Glass® is a new self cleaning glass technology created by PPG industries. It uses a durable transparent coating that is fused to the surface of the glass with high temperatures during the production of the glass. This glass is available in almost all Suburban Construction replacement windows with one goal in mind, that you spend less time cleaning your windows and more time doing the things you love.
