They were great and so knowledgeable about windows! They have been in the business for 30 years and taught me so much about my own windows. They are very fair with their prices, were patient with me, and I would use them again. Al (the owner) is a good guy and so are the people working for him.

Great service. Al came out twice, once to measure and see the work to be done. Then came back with a color sample set to make sure we got the closest match. The work was done on a weekend late afternoon-early evening which was very convenient. Everything is back to the way it should be. Very good job!

Window Glass - Install or Replace
$36,000
It took 3 weeks for the window to get fixed. They broke the new window and lower window strip. I called them 3 times, they said they were trying to locate another strip. After the 3rd call, I called the manufacturer of the window and they sent me the strip in 3 days. Then, it took another 5 days before they finished the job.
Response from

"We have been in business for 25 years. This was in the poplar volex weather time. This was 1 small glass piece. We had good communication with the customer. The company who manufactured the window had to send small window part to the homeowner. Once window manufactured sent the part to the homeowner ( manufacture would not send the part to us, unfortunately) but to there customer the homeowner part we replaced. The window manufacturer responded to the homeowner because it is their customer. The homeowner is a young retired person with all the time in the world and never once was expressed a sense of urgency. With temperature below zero, we replaced his glass. This comment is sad because it was window manufacture's part that delayed install not us."

Great company - appreciated the person I spoke with and how they accommodated my schedule. The only thing I think could be approved is the follow up for when they were coming to install came the day of the install. I would have liked to hear from them the day before when they were planning to come out.

Exterior was very professional, had great workmanship. It was hard to find someone for such a small job and they helped me out very well. Job was very time consuming and they took the time to do every aspect of the job very well. They even make the custom glass for the window. They even took the time to clean up the mess.

They were quick, always responsive and very reasonably priced. They worked with me on my small project but didn't make me feel like an inconvenience because it was just 2 windows that needed repair. The technician that came out was very friendly and even offered a better solution for a screen replacement then what I had and at no additional cost, which is virtually unheard of nowadays. You also can't beat their warranty.

Al replaced 12 windows worth of glass only in a home we were trying to sell. He gave me a fair price on the phone and stuck to the number after his site visit. He ordered the material on a Monday and installed 9 windows that Thursday in time for when we listed the house then we found 3 more windows that had failing glass and he replaced those within the next 5 days. It was very easy to work with.

Al comes out himself to provide the estimate even though this was a very small job. He was able to respond quickly and performed the repair within a week. Was extremely happy with the work performed. And it didn't hurt that he's a really nice guy and was fun to talk to!
