The installers, Ricardo and Sean installed a window three weeks ago, and today reinstalled two doors. The installers are not only highly professional doing the installation (doors fit close to perfect, look and work great), but they also put extra effort into doing detailed finish work, are very clean, arrived on time, and friendly. They also installed a highly energy efficient thermo pane window three weeks ago, again outstanding. The window looks and works great. I highly recommend American Vision Windows to anyone in the valley who needs door or windows.

Extremely loooooong,detailed presentation of product and company as well as reasons to purchase their windows and installation vs. others--was informative but could have done it in half the time. I had done a lot of research and didn't need the canned presentation, just wanted my specific questions answered but he kept stopping me. That I an deal with--after all he has to make a living too. Most annoying, however, was that when it came time to write up a quote, it took him FOREVER--probably longer than the presentation itself. I would have been happy with an e-mailed quote after he figured it all out, but he wanted to complete it on the spot. Turns out that's part of their sales pitch-- the old "if you sign today" deal (which I told him I never do); then he called the "closer" (my term because it felt a bit like buying a used car!) who was willing to give me another "day to sleep on it" before the price went back up. After I emailed the sales manager the next day, he gave me until the end of the week. I appreciate a bottom line from the beginning. When purchasing something this expensive, any company that supposedly can give such a great deal, should be honest about their bottom line rather than resorting to sleazy sales techniques. If they can still make a profit at $10,000 less, than they should go with that. I guess it's not totally dishonest, just annoying, and shows lack of respect for their customers. I might have done business with them if not for this. I do believe they have a good product and good install history, but can't support a company that likely takes advantage of less wary folks.
Description of Work: Quick response to my inquiry was appreciated. Came to house with info. about windows, service, company. did preliminary measurements and quote.

Had a really great experience with American Vision. Looked at several completing window suppliers, but ended up using American Vision. There sales, support, and installation staff was amazing. Sales and support was very responsive when I had questions. Installation team was awesome. The quality of their install was superior. Installed all windows in a single day, including a 12-foot 3-panel, very heavy, sliding glass door. I will recommend them to others and use them on window and window treatment projects going forward.

American Vision Windows Customer reference I have been in business for decades and keenly understand the depth and importance of the statements such as these ; ?Customer sastisfaction comes first?, ?The customer is always right?, ?Do everything within reason for the customer?.? Etc. Mr. Wells demonstrates the epitome of excellence as an experienced, kind and qualified professional representative. The follow up by the follow up measurement gentleman and the ?strategy? gals on the phone was timely, pleasant and professional. The two installers were prudent, efficient, pleasant and professional. The word ?professional? is not repeated by accident. After our highly pleasing experience in dealing with all of these ?professionals? every step of the way we are extremely happy with the beautiful products which have drastically improved the appearance of the home inside and out to like new status. We intended to attain better energy and comfort efficiency but did not expect the drastic improvement in noise reduction and ?vision?. Other benefits are too numerous too mention but by far and away the most impressive one is that when it was suggested that one change could be made that we had overlooked it was handled immediately, without discussion and without one single extra dime of cost. We not only highly and fervently recommend American Vision Windows, if I had more time I would join Mr. Wells as a representative just for the pure joy of helping people to immediately improve their homes and to a significant degree, improve their lives. So Congratulations American Vision Windows! You have it goin' on! And because you have it goin' on it will be keepin' on for a long, long time. Thank You. Sincerely,

Never had the chance to meet. Sales person was a bust. Appreciated greatly how the customer service company and the owner handled my concern and maybe the next time I would give them a call. Definitely would request a different sales person.
Description of Work: I went to Angies list to get info on window providers for my son. I indicated this on the "schedule now" section of the website. Received an email saying someone would contact me; sales person did. Totally unprepared and extremely insulting. Needed a bid and after the discussion she asked me to talk to my son re visiting the showroom. I texted my son and sales person didn't call me back the following day. Forgot about this company and visited our son (we are from ft collins). Sales person calls on 11/25. Told her what she asked me to do and she started arguing with me. If she would have read the schedule now that she received from me she would have known that the times we could meet were from 11/24-11/26. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed. I read many reviews and the company's website and didn't experience what others did. Anyway the reason I didn't give an "F" to this company was the call back I had from a 3rd party company that American contracts with re customer service. Spoke with them and explained in greater detail my experience. Then the owner calls; couldn't speak with him until our return to colorado on the 2nd of December. He cared a great deal and was trying to do everything possible to remedy the situation. Told him it was a moot point since we did order windows while in Tempe.

It was great. It was a good door and they installed it relatively quickly. It was basically just quality work. The only issue was that the door was hand built and it took 2 months but they had told me that ahead of time.

They were great. They were a little confused when they came to install it. The installer thought it might be the wrong size, but then, they eventually got it worked out, and it was the right size. It is a great window; that window is wonderful. We had too much sun coming in through that window and it made all the difference in that room. The price must have been good because we shopped around. I think they were on time.

This was for two homes' replacement windows.Prompt response. Much time spend with order,measurements and questions. They worked with me so that I could schedule airfare to arrive for the install. Manufactured and delivered as promised. The install crew was fantastic! Greg, Jeff, Joe and Tom the first day. 2 others the next two days, minus Tom. The crew was organized, knowledgeable, hard-working, skilled, prepared and pleasant. They took care to protect the surroundings and cleaned up very well. The windows and doors look great. I am happier than I expected. The only issue was with the salesman. Perhaps our personalities conflicted, but we had a couple issues that did get resolved and I purchased windows for two homes. I would definitely use this company again and recommend it and this particular crew to all.

It turned out excellent! The windows slide very nicely. Very good quality and we're very happy with the job they did. The guy that ran the job and the salesman were good. They stuck to what they were selling and their quality. It took about 6 weeks to get the windows after we ordered them which seemed a little slow though.

The windows look great! The windows actually cooled the house down 8-9 degrees which is what I was looking for. I was looking for a window that would keep the heat out and they provided just that. There was no need to call them out for any follow ups because everything turned out just as I wanted it. They did a really good job. I was very happy with the work. There was a crew of four people and they cleaned up everything very well. I felt the price was really good and they were one of the lower bids.

I called over the weekend and got their voicemail but didn't leave a message. A really nice lady called me back (it was a Sunday morning even) and took down my information. She let me know up front they do not offer repairs on windows they did not install but referred me to another company that she highly recommended. She didn't give me his contact info but assured me I would get a call from them because they are just as good at customer service as American Vision. So I was impressed with the call back and the referral but that's where the positive side ends. I never got a call from anyone and even gave them until late the following Wednesday but of course had to call American Vision back. This time I did get a call back but the guy was not very friendly and his quote was outrageous for a window repair! So I did not go with them and was not impressed with the referral.

Thank you very much for sharing your story with us. As we explained, we do not repair products that we did not install, although we did recommend a reputable repair company that we know to be qualified and have integrity in their services. Unfortunately there are costs involved in repairs, and we can not speculate as to the pricing of another company's services. We simply wanted to help by referring a business that we know to do excellent work and would serve your repair needs. If we can help further, please don't hesitate to give us a call.
