Description of Work: They replaced windows on the first and second floor of our rental property. They also came back and replaced our basement windows as well. They were great! They were very efficient and reasonably priced and they were very professional and did an excellent job.

Description of Work: Brookside Home Improvements delivered and installed 20 double hung windows and 5 glass block windows in my 105 year old home. From the owner Eric Peck to the installers Bogdan and Matt they did a fabulous job of removing the old storms and old windows. Then they installed the new energy star triple pane windows and aluminum flashing around the old window trim. Our house is noticeably warmer and my wife and I are most pleased with their work. I would definitely hire them again.

Sorry, I did not have a sample of the style of window you wanted at our initial meeting. I had the double hung, but, did not have a casement sample with me. I offered to show you the casement at a later time. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you and for writing this review. If we can be of service, please call 708-485-3220. Eric

Description of Work: We hired Brookside to replace our windows and siding on our two-flat and garage. The job turned out to be a bit larger than we hoped, with rotten wood needing to be replaced in the garage and under some of the windows. Even worse was the brick of the north wall on the first floor has started leaning out. Through all of this, Eric kept us informed of our options (and their costs), and in the case of the masonry, he found us a fantastic mason who both fixed the wall and tuckpointed the rest of the house for a very reasonable price. We had a great experience with them, and will definitely call them again if/when we need more work done. They were awesome.

Response from Brookside Home Improvement
Your back awning had minimum clearance between the top of the door, and the old awning was the same, as there is no way to install it higher, thus increasing the amount of clearance. After the excessive snow and ice from 2013, the weight caused it to drop slightly - this is not our responsibility to clear the weight. We did make a special trip to correct the problem, at no charge. Please be advised that this winter is supposed to be a repeat of last years, and it the problem arises again, we will not take a trip for free. If you correct your review, that would be fair and appreciated. Thanks for you business. Eric

Description of Work: Brookside contacted us promptly and was very professional. Our house has angled fascia and so our gutters were not going to be a standard installation. We requested that Brookside use gutter wedges rather than the brackets that they suggested on the install. Brookside said they did not have a vendor to supply the gutter wedges.

Response from Brookside Home Improvement
Our suppliers do not carry the gutter wedges that this customer wants and says are available online. I said that we could install the gutter wedges with the gutters if she were to purchase what she wants online. She said she would do more research and get back to me. So far, I have not heard back from her.

Gap in a window !!!? Yet the windows are beautiful and functional - ? Damaged wood Trim - Yikes!! I read this and was shocked and thought we had to go back and correct something - read on, that was not the case. I called to see what the problem was and spoke to your husband. I was told there was no gap in a window - the gap was between the window and the wood trim we installed, which would have been caulked and ready to paint, but, after receiving numerous phone calls and e-mails (at one point, you both called from different phones, simultaneously) about the concern of reaction to odor or content of the caulk, that we decided it would be better to simply do no interior finish caulking at all. This customer had other work being done on their home and apparently another contractor used some caulk or adhesive that had a strong odor and triggered an almost panic type of reaction with this customer thinking that the materials we would use would giver her an allergic reaction. Soooooo, no caulk inside, no chance, not a hint of it, none whatsoever, seemed to be the safest route to take for us. Thus, tiny space between trim and window frame - paint alone would fill it. There was no damaged window, period. The cracked trim was not installed - a piece cracked while it was bent to compress for a tight inside miter fit, but it was not used, another piece was cut and installed, the cracked piece was never installed. That is not the type of work we do; we take our job seriously. It would be great if the points mentioned were clarified or corrected to more accurately describe the event - if not, well, all we can do is respond, which we did. Thank you for your business! Eric

Description of Work: We bought an Angie's List big deal for 5 replacement windows. Brookside called me within an hour of purchase to set up an appointment to measure our windows. They added a sixth window for the same discounted price. They called a couple weeks later -- much sooner than anticipated -- to install the windows. They put them in quickly, cleaned up everything and took the old windows away, all in a few hours. WE LOVE OUR NEW WINDOWS! They've made our house so much cooler this summer and I anticipate being warmer this winter. Thank you, Brookside!

Description of Work: I had 7 new triple-pane Energy Star windows installed, purchased with an Angie's list special coupon. The work was done quickly and no mess was left behind. The new windows look great and are easy to clean inside and out with their "tilt out" feature. How great it will be to never have to switch out storms and screens again! I will update this review next Spring after I see how warm they keep the house next winter.

Thank you for your business, we appreciate it. It was a pleasure working with you! Thank you for writing a review, while some members do not write reviews as they say there is nothing that hasn't been said (they are very satisfied, but don't think they need to voice it as others have done so), the reviews show consistency and reliability; they are what makes Angie's List valuable to other members. I wish more members would participate by writing reviews. Again, thank you for both your business and your review. Should you need other work, please call 708-485-3220.

Thank you for your business and for writing this review; we appreciate both. If there is something we can do to improve our services, our ears are anxiously open. I am disappointed that we only earned a "B" - I can't think of one detail that could have been performed better. We minimized your expenditure by keeping the existing downspouts where we could, matched the 2 colors of your gutters and downspouts, were there in the time frame given and at the exact cost agreed upon. If there is something we could do to earn an "A", we would like to know so we can improve our services. Thanks again for your business.
