Progressive Insulation & Windows was founded in Chatsworth in 1978 and has grown into one of Southern California's leading replacement window and insulation companies. We stand above many of our competitors because of our commitment to provide excellence in the installation of our products. Though we now have more than 70 trained installers and sales reps, we still do business in the same customer-centered tradition that propelled us to success in our early days. We are still a family-owned and operated business that truly cares about the customer experience before, during, and after installation of any of our products.
All windows were installed professionally by three workmen employed by Progressive. Installation took approx 5 hours including trim and painting of finish work. Very comfortable with the installers in the house, and they did an excellent installation job and clean up.
Description of Work: Installed 7 double hung windows with low e and one large tempered glass picture window. Windows manufactured by Anlin Windows.

I called to see if they worked in my area. They don't. Then I asked if I could still receive their package about window replacement. It arrived the very next day.
Description of Work: Even though this company doesn't work in my area, they sent me a very informative package that will help me to select a competent contractor to do the job.

For such a large job, it went smoothly. Within about a week all work was done. Crew and foreman were respectful and had us approve various issues that arose. Windows were removed and replaced in succession so that the house was never left "open" at the end of the day. They then stuccoed around the new frames. In some areas they did not stucco and used wood instead as the space they said was too small for stucco--we feel the use of wood could have been done better. But the windows, doors and all other stucco work is excellent.
Description of Work: Replaced all windows (most floor to ceiling size) and installed sliding glass doors with dual pane low-e vinyl windows.

The installation was amazing! I was told the job would take 2-3 days. The installers were on time and very professional. We went through the house and verified what would be done to each window, and I went over some additional requirements I had (mostly having to do with making sure my three indoor cats didn't get out, since windows were being removed from every room of the house). Ismael (the lead installer) and I worked out a plan for dealing with the cats throughout the installation process. The installers were all very careful about following this plan, as well as protecting my furniture and other belongings with plastic sheeting, carpet runners, etc. They finished in two days. Any tiny holes they made in the plaster around the windows were patched. They cleaned up after themselves, and showed me how to operate all the features of each window. They did a beautiful job. The windows, the exterior trim, and the interior wood trim all look great and operate very smoothly.
Description of Work: They replaced all the windows in my house (a total of about 20 windows) with Anlin vinyl windows. In a few places, they reconfigured adjacent windows to make one big window. They also handled the process of getting building permits.

Even though they were really busy, they went out of their way to schedule an estimate quickly to accommodate our schedule. Their representative, Chuck Suarez, was prompt, courteous, professional, and well-informed. He left a full contract, and there was no high-pressure sales pitch. If they had used a vinyl interior molding instead of wood, I would have chosen this company for their outstanding service.
Description of Work: We asked for Progressive to come out and give us an estimate for replacing three windows and two sliding doors with double pane vinyl. We chose another company to do the work ONLY because we preferred the other company's style of interior molding (vinyl over wood--we wanted lower maintenance).

Response from Progressive Insulation & Windows
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THOSE KIND WORDS! MY NAME IS STEVE ANDERSON, OWNER OF PROGRESSIVE. I SPOKE TO CHUCK ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS AND WHY WE COULDN'T HAVE GIVEN YOU THE VINYL INTERIOR MOLDING YOU WANTED. HE SAID THAT WE COULD HAVE BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU DECIDED TO GO WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY. I KNOW THE OWNER OF THAT COMPANY. HE IS A GOOD MAN AND SHOULD DO A GOOD JOB FOR YOU. SO THAT ANGIE SUBSCRIBERS SHOULD KNOW, THE STANDARD INTERIOR TRIM HERE AT PROGRESSIVE IS PAINTED WOOD WITH MITERED CORNERS. MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS PREFER THIS MORE TRADITIONAL LOOK. HOWEVER, SHOULD YOU PREFER THE FLAT VINYL TRIM, WE ALSO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE. MEMBER, I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. YOU POSTED THAT YOU PREFERRED THE OTHER COMPANIES "VINYL OVER WOOD." WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT? DO THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A WOOD TRIM WITH A VINYL COATING OVER IT OR, IS IT A THIN FLAT VINYL STRIP THAT GLUES ONTO THE WINDOW? I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE YOU AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. STEVE ANDERSON (800) 500-6200 EXT.12

A representative came out, gave me an estimate for all 10 windows in the house. I opted to just have 5 windows done (all 10 would have been about $5000). A week or two later, another guy came out to do a final measuring, which took 5 minutes. I scheduled for a Saturday installation time so I could be home when they came. It was probably 3 or so weeks later. Weekends are typically busy, I guess. 5 or 6 guys came, and in 3 or so hours did all 5 windows. They had me check out each finished window, explained operation, etc. Very professional. I will have them back to complete the house sometime down the road.
Description of Work: Replaced 5 windows of various sizes.

Contacted 4 companies for window bids. Chuck Suarez, the Progressive sales rep., gave me honest information, a great price and even met me at his mom's house in Glendale so I could see the windows he was recommending actually installed, vs. having to drive from Pasadena to Chatsworth. The office staff is pleasant and in frequent contact the process. The windows were installed yesterday by Jose, Porfidio and another team member. They were on time, courteous, fast and cleaned up after everything. The windows look great, passed their first rain, and my HVAC system hasn't run all day. I can't recommend these guys highly enough! I also had the same positive experience with an attic insulation install in December. Don't hesitate to call them!

This company was referred to us by our general contractor in charge of foundation and framing when he discovered that we were planning to put in the insulation ourselves. He insisted that their quote would be less then we could buy the material for and he was right. We have been very impressed with them so far. They have been incredibly efficient. They quoted us within in 48 hours of our call. We signed a contract with them two months ago and let them know that it would be awhile before we needed them. They just called to check in and see how our construction was coming along. It was really nice to have a follow-up call and it makes me feel confident that are on top of things. They said it would take a day to install everything and I am looking forward to the installation as it will mean that our other interior wall issues are completed.

Jose and Ismael were absolutely wonderful. They were professional, polite and courteous. My windows look great! I intend to have additional windows replaced by Progressive later this year.
Description of Work: I had 4 replacement windows installed. The installation fellows (Ismael & Jose) arrived on schedule and were eager to start the process. They laid out runners from the front door to each room that was having a window installed. They covered the contents in each room with plastic sheets. They covered the areas below each window on the outside of the house. They removed the old windows quietly and quickly. They mounted the new windows and completed the detail installation and finish work within a few hours. They did a marvelous job cleaning up.

Absolutely terrific. I couldn't ask for a better experience. I liked Progressive so much, I've ordered 4 windows from them. I'll post a report on the windows after they are installed. I recommend Progressive Insulation Services to anyone who wants a professional job, courteous workers, and overall superb customer service.
Description of Work: The insulation was completed on schedule today, 6/9/06. I'm very pleased to say that every step of the process with Progressive was absolutely wonderful. The customer services was terrific. I initially dealt with Acct. Executive: Pete Rensing who was extremely professional and knows the insulation business inside out. Then I had the pleasure of dealing with the scheduler George and installers Raul and Jorge who were polite, on time, and did a terrific job. The installation was terrific, Raul and Jorge worked quietly and professionally. I recommend Progressive for attic insulation, and if you want really great service from the beginning through the end of the process ask for Pete, George, Raul and Jorge.

Bob the Door guy said he wasn't sure if he could install a door for me using my current hardware, he would check. He called the next day and told me the door I wanted (Tm Cobb) did not come w/ side lites (I knew that you could get plain side lites from this company). I asked him about the hardware, he said it wasn't their policy so I wasn't sure why he was even calling me back since he knew I wanted to use my own hardware. I assumed we were done, however, George called later that day to set up an appointment, not knowing about my experience w/ Bob. I told him and he said they could use my hardware, etc. He made an appointment w/ me for the next day and never showed or called.
Description of Work: No work performed. Terrible response time, communication, wrong information. 2 different guys called me with conflicting information. No show for appointment.

Response from Progressive Insulation & Windows
THE PRESIDENT AND OWNER OF PROGRESSIVE, STEVE ANDERSON, CALLED ON MAY 25TH AND SPOKE TO THE MEMBER REGARDING HER COMPLAINT. HE APOLOGIZED FOR THE CONFLICTING INFORMATION SHE RECEIVED FROM BOB AND GEORGE ABOUT THE PRODUCTS SHE WAS INTERESTED IN. HOWEVER, SHE DID SAY THAT THERE WAS A MISS UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE APPOINTMENT TIME AND GEORGE DID SHOW UP TO HER HOME THE FOLLOWING DAY AS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED. THE MEMBER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SAY THAT SHE WOULD CONTACT ANGIE’S LIST TO CORRECT AND REMOVE THAT PORTION OF HER COMPLAINT. STEVE EXPLAINED TO HER THAT PROGRESSIVE HAS BEEN IN CHATSWORTH FOR OVER 28 YEARS AND OUR REPUTATION FOR QUALITY AND SERVICE IS WHY 70% OF OUR BUSINESS COMES FROM REPEAT AND REFERRAL CUSTOMERS. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ONE AND STEVE ASSURED THE MEMBER THAT HE WOULD REVIEW THIS INCIDENT WITH THOSE INVOLVED. THESE MISTAKES ARE VERY COSTLY AND WE TAKE THEM VERY SERIOUSLY.

Company was prompt to return my call to set-up an appointment for an estimate to replace all the windows in my house. The sales rep that came was terrific in explaining their products, asking about my needs etc. He determined an estimate and told me he would follow-up with formal document which he would mail. He did and it arrived in a few days. The bid was in line with others I had received. It was a hard call but in the end I went with another outfit. I purchased my windows from a more local vendor to me and used a contractor who also did other work on my house at the same time.
Description of Work: Did not use this company but would call them back in the future for other work. Estimate was for $9,000.

When it was time to schedule delivery, their scheduling department was very efficient in scheduling and being on time. After the fact, we have asked for them to do a follow up install on a door and window to keep contractor on schedule. Will report on that later.
Description of Work: They provided both doors and windows. Our sales rep was George Foertsch and he came out and measured everything provided a quick written quote and was very helpful. We had a choice on the types of doors and windows and were not dictated to on what to get. They also provided a competitive quote on the insulation however we did not need to use their service as it was provide by contractor.

Installation was wonderful, beautiful job, neat, on time, and done by professionals. Ismael, Joe, and Dino did a terrific job. Would definitely recommend Progressive for windows.
