Overall Great Job!! The glass fit perfect and the installations were done very quickly. We're very pleased with the end result. We had multiple scheduling issues and these folks were very flexible allowing us to reschedule multiple times over a 2 month period. Will defiantly do business with this company again. .

We had mysterious leaks on our floors. Called our plumber - also on Angie's List - and he tested everything and discovered we needed new windows! Turns out the rain was leaking around the 36 year old grids and panes, and seeping in and pooling on the floors. Called to get an estimate from 3 companies. Bill from HomeRite was first to return my call. He was excellent - not your usual sales guy. He was low-key and thorough, taking the time to explain the features of the windows, the prices of windows and doors comparable to the big budget retailers (which we had scoped out in advance) and competitors (also comparable) and he answered all our questions. Bill sold us on his company first, via his knowledge and experience, then sold us on the windows and doors. Installation day - the office called to let us know the installers would be late because they were sent to deal with a small job from the day before. The two man crew arrived at 9:45AM, and were friendly and efficient, completing 6 windows by lunch - they took a 30 minute lunch break - and the other 6 by 4PM. Then they started on the doors and completed those by 6PM. They cleaned up the debris as they went along. Bill showed up to complete the invoice and payment and inspect the job. In the three months since installation, no mores leaks, no more water on our floors, AND we have seen our electric bill plummet by 30-35%. At this rate the windows will pay for themselves in 3-4 years. And the best part - we are very cool in hot weather and very warm in cold weather (like these January nights!) with a huge DECREASE in our bill. We have recommended HomeRite to our friends and neighbors, one of whom beat us to the punch writing a recent review on the great job done at his home. Thanks HomeRite and thanks Angie's List!

The owner himself came and did the measurements and gave me an estimate. The work was performed on the dates I was promised. The service person was prompt, very courteous and professional. He worked straight through until he had finished the job, he cleaned up the inside and out and hauled away old door. The service person even cleaned the glass! Excellent experience and greaet service!

This was actually and install for me (Ashley Opland) but I used my mother's Angie's List account to find HomeRite Windows. I was extremely pleased with their service. I noticed they were top rated on Angie's List which made me feel good about my choice from the start. They were always quick to get back in touch with me. My windows arrived sooner than expected. The install crew was very friendly, professional and tidy. They even went above and beyond when they rehung some of my blind hardware and fixed my patio door that was catching every time someone went to open or close it. I will be using HomeRite Windows again for my next window replacement and I would recommend them to anyone I know!

I recently sold my house and was requested by the buyers to replace 3 windows that had fogging. I sent them the home inspection that detailed what was wrong with the windows and what brand they were. They were able to give me a quote just based on that. We immediately set up an appointment and they came out as soon as I was available and replaced the glass. They were very professional and quick. I would use them again.

Purchase of the windows took place in JCksonville beach appoximately three weeks prior to the appointment. I had not heard from Home Rite if the windows had arrived from the factory. After calling Home Rite, they said they had been calling the wrong number and therefore I wasn't notified they were ready to be installed. We set up the install date for Monday 10/21/13. I drove from Atlanta to my condo the day before the install appointment. On the install day the contractor was late one hour. I had to call them to find out if they were still coming. When they arrived the lead man looked outside and said a storm would be hitting land in 30 minutes and they would not install the windows during a storm. He said I would have to call their office to reschedule. Thirty minutes later, the sun was shining and weather radar indicated the storm had gone out to sea. I called Home Rite's office and the manager said he sent the crew to another job inland and they couldn't come back that day. I was due back in Atlanta on Wednesday. Home Rite said the soonest they could come back was Thursday or Friday. So I had to change my schedule and Thursday morning they returned promptly at 9:00 am. The job was finished in 55 minutes ( not the 2-3 hours originally estimated). The windows looked fantastic. I paid the balance due and they left.

There were actually two jobs involved. The first one was to replace the front awning windows that were on our front porch. The house is 75 years old and someone had put these in to replace the original screens and done a terrible job. The owner came out and gave an estimate on the energy efficient windows. The crew arrived on time, did the work, cleaned up and we were so impressed that we went ahead and had the rest of the windows replaced. I am impressed as to how much cooler the house is and that we don't get air leaks anymore. The windows look great and we are already getting lower power bills.

Very very professional. I highly recommend this company. They will tell you the up front truth, even when it means that they won't be able to get your business. We wanted windows replaced becaused it seemed like they were leaking and causing damage to the house. When they came out to do an assessment they noticed that it looked more serious then just a window problem. They said they could replace the windows but I would probably still have a leaking water issue due to other factors and that they thought it would be in our best interest to take a different course of action to get the leak fixed. They even stayed longer to investigate the problem even after they knew they werent going to do the windows. They helped us with getting contacts of poeple that could hopefully help us. Once we figure out what is causing the leak and once we get the damaged fixed we will be calling this company back for the new windows.

The installation went through although I have not recommended the business. If anything, I let people know of the unprofessional manner in which the incident was conducted.
Description of Work: I was disappointed in the salesman. He did not calculate the bill correctly, off by several hundred. When he realized the error he had made, he recharged our credit card without our knowledge. After investigating, the store was called but the saleman was reluctant to admit to the charge on our credit card and the owner was rude.

Mr. Walden was very was very quick to respond to my request for a quote. Windows arrived as scheduled and the installation was completed in a professional manner with little disruption. I had previously contacted another window company and after the windows were received (6 weeks after ordering and paying deposit) the company decided that the installation on the 3rd story was too complex and refused to do the installation, refunding my deposit.

The doors and windows in my condo were originals ('76) and in very poor condition. I called HomeRite and Mr. Walden, owner, came out to give me an estimate. He showed me several product lines so I had options and price ranges to choose from. I was even invited to the showroom/warehouse to see the product firsthand. I contracted with HomeRite on April 24, 2013. Mr. Walden explained the order would be custom-built and would be shipped in about three weeks. Upon arrival, the installation was scheduled for May 28, 2013. The team of four, led my Tim, arrived as scheduled and completed the work in about four hours with few problems. They caulked, patched where needed, and cleaned up to my satisfaction. All of them were extremely patient with me as I worried through the entire installation and were very, very kind. Charlie bars and door handles were installed two days later. The only glitch in the whole experience was that the screens for the patio doors and two windows did not arrive with the original order and it took almost three weeks to get them to complete the order. No payment was expected or even asked for until they arrived and were installed on June 14, 2013. All in all, it was a relatively pleasant experience. I love my new windows and doors and would definitely recommend HomeRite to any other homeowners.
Description of Work: Installed five windows and two over-sized patio doors & screens.

The provider took out a window and replaced it. He also took my old screen and stretched new screen over the frame. One side was all bent and he made a piece to replace it saving me money and time on getting a new screen. He was very efficient while working and cleaned up as he went. He had to put a plastic bead around the window. Since my windows were so old, a grey bead material was not available. He went to a little more trouble by spray painting it for me so it would match. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

I needed to replace my original windows on my 1976 home, nine in total on a single-story home. HomeRite had the best price and rapport of the businesses I contacted. They worked with my schedule and did a fantastic job with the removal and installation. Everyone was friendly, professional and informative. They hauled off my windows and the screens I'd previously removed and left no trash on site. If I ever need new windows in Jacksonville, I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

I had 25+ year old Kinco windows that were aluminum frames. Windows leaked terribly, seals had broken on some windows. Windows were NOT energy efficient. Also had a door that was about 10 years old that the elements had taken a beating to and was suffering from some wood rot. I decided I needed to replace and update windows and the door. Called 5 companies--2 were from Angies List. I looked at who had solid reviews and were rated by the Better Business Bureau. Received 5 quotes. Was most impressed with Bill and his understanding of what I wanted to do. Bil did not bad mouth the competition but focused on the advantages of HomeRite product. He showed me the product and took me through the process, how long it would take from receipt of order, to manufacturer--these are built to order to installation (they were exactly right on concerning the amount of time). He came back and measured to make sure they were built to specs. I took about two weeks for the windows to be made. Received a call from Mark to work scheduling. He explained process and we locked in a date about a week from his call. Tim and his installation team came exactly when they said they would--a big positive when someone shows up when they said they will!! Tim did a walk though of the house--I was replacing 20 windows total on two floors with 3540 single hung vinly low e high performance with argon glass and screens as well as replace one door with a fiberglass door with half glass (low e). Installation and replace took 2 days. They would pullout 2-3 windows at a time and then replace those windows before proceeding to the next couple. Installation went very well--they were very professional and cleaned up behind them. They took all old windows away. Each windows was installed and caulked tight. They removed all shades, drapes and blinds and replaced every single one of them to original condition. Overall the installation process went very well. Their installer Tim--is extremely experienced and knew exactly what he was doing. We inspected all the windows as well as the door (he and his team did a great job on the door as well-making sure it sealed tight). My punch out list was two very minor things that they fixed right away. The windows look great, really opens up the house. They has a slight greenish tint due to the low e high performance--highly recommend these windows and doors and I highly recommend HomeRite. Payment was done in two pieces--50% down and 50% upon completion. The windows and door come with a lifetime warranty. Pricing was very competitive--they were cheaper than the big box stores. The vinyl windows are a major improvement on the aluminum. Today it was cold and my heater did not go on as the windows are very energy efficient. I expect that there will be heating and cooling savings from these new windows.

I contacted the provider and told him that I wanted a proposal to replace the 30 windows. The representative, Bill, came with his son and they measured the windows and made notes for the proposal. The gentlemen left after one and a half hours and promised me a proposal within the week. I called the representative back since I haven't heard back from the provider for more than 7 days. He assured me that he will send me the proposal in a couple of days. I never heard back from the company. I tried calling the representative back, got his voice mail, left a message for him - no call back. I gave up on this company. Complete waste of time. Over 3 hours of my time wasted! I would not recommend doing business with this company

Sales Representative, Bill, gave us quote and demonstrated energy efficiency of double paned argon filled glass. Price was right so we ordered two white vinyl six foot sliding patio doors with white panes in between glass. Doors came in about 1/12 to 2 weeks later and installers came out to remove old doors, install new doors, replace inside trim with new. They worked quickly and efficiently. We are extremely pleased with the lack of heat being transferred, the doors face due west and get hot in the afternoon but very little heat is felt at all inside. I would be happier if the panes inside the doors didn't shake so much when the doors are closed but for the price I am okay with it. We plan to use them again to replace windows in house at a future date. Their customer service was very good - one of the doors had a manufacturing error and the panes inside the glass were not level - the sales representative came out, agreed it was incorrect and the new side of the door was ordered and replaced with no problems.
Description of Work: Replaced two 6 foot sliding glass patio doors that were original to the house from 1985. Price was for doors and installation.
