The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

We ordered windows through clear choice windows back in february from the owner Gregory McDonald. We put a deposit down of $900.00. When we call to find out when they r going to install we get no answer and leave messages. Finally got a call back in June after leaving a message saying we will take this to court if we cant get them installed or get our money back only to be cussed out by the so called owner and business man he is supposed to be. Gregory McDonald is not a business man and his company needs to be shut down. Im putting this on here so anyone who needs windows I suggest not to go through this company or to give a deposit on something they will never get like us.

Great point about the taxes. If you are still in contact with the news feel free to give them my name gary and my number is 502.727.324one. I hope they get this guy. Last time I talked to him, he was trying to convince me how hard life is and how he is not a crook. Blah blah blah. Gregg I know you reed this stuff . And you are right about one thing... Life is hard and filthy crooks that take money from inicent people do not make it less hard. Just remember one thing... Karma is a [censored] and when that [censored] catches up to you, I hope you remember all the people who you took money from.

Any updates on greg mcdonald and his scamming.We have also been in touch with channel11 and the interesting point to them is probably going to be how do con artist like him and his so called daddy pay taxes on these cashed checks and then never intend to preform the contacted work.When the true story on this lowlife scamming window man aIRS there really is no telling who all will come forward to share their stories.between the IRS and the police on his tail he should be hitting his father and friends up for some good advice.We will really enjoy watching this so called christian businessman get what he has coming to him.Most of us worked hard for the money he stole to support his self.Funny part is after talking with a couple of his customers you realize you are better off if he never touches your property.They say his work is terrible and after all I have heard I am glad to have hired another company .Just wanted to put this updated comment in for the guy who was so kind to right in before more customers were taken by Greg

Hey this is Gary again. After posting the last message about Gregg still owing me 1500 and the fact that they might do a news story on him, he was kind enough to call me and remind me that he paid me some money back. Yes that is true Gregg you paid me back half. But the fact is you still owe 750$. You said you would call me by the 20th. Today is the 21st(yet another empty and broken promise). I promised you I would file charges on you today. I too have to break my promise, unlike you I have to work all day today. So charges will be filed tomorrow. You can call me at 727324one don't call from a blocked number. Your only reason for calling should be to tell me you have my money. Don't call me for any other reason.

Hey guys I got the local news(WHAS11) interested in doing a story on Gregg. They want 2 or 3 people to interview. Im not sure if this will help us get or money back, but... it will expose Gregg and maybe prevent others from getting scammed. If any one is interested please call or email me.

Thanks,

Does any one have any updates on Gregg. I used to have 5 or 6 different phone numbers for this ###. But they are all disconnected now. Only number that i have that works is his daddies phone number, but he tells me Gregg no longer lives there. I am in the process of filling charges, but am waiting on getting some records from the bank from when he cashed the check, over 6 months ago. I am also interested to see if the local media would pick up on this story. I know the like to expose guys like Gregg. If anyone has filed charges on him in Louisville please let me know. I think prosecutors might work a bit harder, if there are multiple charges of the same kind, on the same person. my email address is garyaronov@gmail.com
Hey Gregg, i know you read this stuff. So do know, I am still waiting on my $1500. you have my phone number but in case you say you lost it, its 502.727.3241 feel free to call me anytime, i sure would like to talk to you.

consumers do not worry he will soon be caught at his tricks and he has a bag of them. He has no regard for the lies he will tell consumers and the police are aware of his behaviors.He stated he was never contacted regarding complaints or issues this is another lie
Gregg you read these comments so why dont you explain to all the customers you have ripped off how you live with yourself
Guess it is easy when you reak of liquor and bad breath. tell yourself it is ok to rip off cutomers.Good Luck in jail because several of us you have so kindly taken money from will follow you until you are caught and punished for your dishonesty. Tell that to your so called father.All of us have heard your same lies try to think of some new ones.Enjoy ripping off a few more people because your going to answer for it and to your father you have a real loser for a son..Indiana police among others have your #.To bad you have never intalled a window correctly according to all the complaints on this board you would not know how.Ipersonally will testify to your stealing from customers and several others have spoken with the appropriate agencies. Your supporters are going down with you I know you think you will never have to answer for your actions but you will soon find out you are wrong.

that is ok because Mcdonald will soon get caught at his scamming. It is hard to believe he is so stupid to rip off customers .The first clue he is a complete low life is his bad breath. Until things hit the fan We suggest any one considering hiring this ### should think twice. Why don't you reply to this complaint . Just remember you are not going to rip of any tornado victims if they check you out before giving you money because you and your associates have so many complaints Your stealing days will soon be coming to an end Greggory. Have fun making up your next lie because you just maybe held account able for your actions .The whole state of Indiana and Kentucky have your number .

This Complaint board is so correct Everything written here is 100 percent on Target about Gregg McDonald and his so called business ethics are ridiculous Every Story I read is exactly how he operates and STEALS FROM BUISNESS AND HOMEOWNERS It is amazing that he uses so many stories and tactics to stall after receiving money knowing full well he never intends to honor any agreement verbal or written.With this many Scams being pulled off on customers it will catch up with him and his so called employees.Especially when he could have a successful relationship with paying customers if he indeed did any of the work he promised all these folks.I hope justice is served soon as Orange is definitely his color. This community will not stand for the disregard he shows paying customers who only expect what they paid for.It sounds like you really do not want him or his crew working on your windows.

I have had the same experience as most of the people described on this page. I was helping my father renovate one of his rental units, and stumbled on to Gregg's name. He came to the house glanced at the windows and gave me a fair price. He said to write the check to his personal name. I though that was fishy, but also realized that this could help me in the long run.I am NOT a lawyer, but in my understanding if a personal check is cashed, without me getting the windows, it would be theft, and because of the dollar amount, it would be a felony. He told me the windows would be here in one week... Exactly one week latter the excuses started, day after day it was something new. First the weather, then delivery truck issues, then family members in the hospital. I talked to a lawyer and he told me that, it was indeed a felony theft. Since he has already filed a bankruptcy, he could not file another one. I contacted Gregg and explained that I would be filing criminal charges. A few hours latter his father called me, and asked me to give him some time before filing charges. He said he would call me the next day, and present a solution. I explained to him that at this point i do not see a possible solution besides me getting my money back. His dad never called me again. Again i called Gregg and informed him that i would be going to court the following day to file charges. The next day he called me and told me he was on the way to his lawyer to figure out how to pay me back. He asked for my lawyers name and number and said that his lawyer would contact mine. Later that day i received a call from my attorney who told me I would be receiving my money on the 14th of February. Today is the 5th of February, my thoughts are about 50/50 on receiving my money back. But i am 100% sure that if i do not get my money i will be in court on the 15th filing criminal charges!

mod11_99, you will never get your money or windows. Greg is in the process of bankruptcy. He goes to court Sept. 14 @ 2:30 at the Federal Building in New Albany, In. He also owes me about $6, 000, money I will never see! What an experience this has been, and a hard lesson learned! Someone needs to sue him for fraud, I know 2 ladies that he took their money and they never got their windows or door. I am in the process of getting info to file this with the prosecutors office. If I can't get my money back, he ought to spend some time in jail and think of what he did to everyone!

Greg - Feel free to make your offer to me either here or to my personal email address: mod11_99@yahoo.com. As I stated earlier above - all the windows have been pulled and have been stored in a safe place. Each window has been documented by pictures while it was still in the "frame". I would imagine you have our record on file showing exactly how many windows you "installed" and I used "installed" very loosely.

You are such a lair Chris! Memory serves me well with this whole situation - Greg McDonald getting in my facing yelling at me and pointing his finger at me. Trying to tell me the reason there is a 3 inch gap at the top of the window was for expansion of the window. If that's true they all would have had it, not just the ones that didn't fit! The judge saw the pictures of my house and couldn't believe it! All my windows were placed on my windowsills not back in the original place of the old window! I now have 1" windowsills instead of 4". To this day I still don't have a bedroom window I paid for. I was awarded my $6000.00 but I'll never see a penny of it because Mr. McDonald is filing bankruptcy on 9-14-11 at 2:30 p.m. So if anyone out there has problems you need to show up at the Federal Court House in New Albany on this date and state your claim!

My name is Chris Ayers. Myself and 3 other installers went to Miss V''s home to fix any issues she had regarding her windows. We were met at the door with her telling us she wanted no part of how we were going to fix them and escorted us to the door.

Greg - You assured us that everything you did was approved. You were quite the actor, even calling me with your great idea of putting all the windows in on the inner part of the frame. Would you like to buy all your windows back since they all had to be pulled? I now see that we are not the only ones taken advantage of. How do you sleep at night?

What a joke that you have the nerve to write this crap when you are going to file bankruptcy tomorrow! Yeah Greg I found out about the bankruptcy and I will be there tomorrow, funny you didn't have my address to mail me anything about it, but you sure had it on my paperwork and check when you took it... $6000.00 ring a bell!

Anyone with a complaint regarding Clear Choice Windows need to contact Greg Or Matt at [protected] or fax [protected]. There is also a contact form on our website. None of these claims have been presented to our office and we will gladly look into them. The screen in question above---we notified a third party and offered to pay for a new screen. Also, the customer never paid for wrap and caulk. As far as the customer claiming to have information on an employee not receiving hourly wages----NO employee for Clear Choice has EVER been paid by the hour. Any customer not receiving product in a timely manner after a dep0sit is made is the nature of this business. After the wettest spring on record, luckily we were able to keep up with the demand and have hundreds of satisfied customers. The claim of the permit in an historical district. The BUILDER is responsible for all permits and if you read the back of your contract, Clear Choice relies on the customer to obtain proper permits where necessary. Since none of this has ever been brought to my attention, it is impossible to remedy. We strive to ensure everyone is happy with our product and service.

We had a terrible experience with Greg McDonald last year. Windows took months and months to be installed. Many excuses were made, none of them true. We just had a real professional inspect his work and were told that the windows are useless, it is the worst installation job they have ever seen, and Mr. McDonald did the work without a permit (the renovation property is in the historical district), which he had claimed to have. If anyone else it bringing him to court, we would love to speak with you. Please feel free to contact me at mod11_99@yahoo.com.

I too ordered windows from Greg McDonald at Clear Choice Windows. He took a 50% deposit down from me in November 2010, and as of June 2011, my windows have still not been installed. I have made several attempts to contact him, and when I did finally reach him, I was cussed out as well. What did I do wrong to deserve that? I spoke with someone who used to work for him and he said the way he does business is to take a 50% deposit down from the customer, and he rarely finishes the job. He also owes this employee money for hours worked but never paid. My suggestion to you all is to do all you can to get your money back. The guy is filing bankruptcy, and I want to take a stand against him. Its not right to treat people like this.

Same here, we ordered in November got installed week of Christmas, was supposed to come back and caulk and wrap windows, and bring back a broken screen. Cussed out many times by him. Windows got caulked and wrapped by spouse but still not screen. If you find him let us know, he will probably be sueing also.
