It went great. We had received many quotes- most high- pressure, some from big name window companies. Jim came out and there was no pressure and an immediate sense of honesty from him. The workers were punctual, polite, and cleaned up. During the removal of the old windows, they realized they'd have to take out the interior wood frames and sills because of how the old windows were installed. Replacing the wood wasn't part of our original plan, but Thermalcraft gave us a very reasonable and fair price to replace all windows with oak wood frames and sills. They finished in a timely manner and left us with touch up materials for the front door. We haven't had any issues with leaking or condensation. Date below is approximate, they did the windows in August 2015. I can't recall day.
Description of Work: We had work done in summer 2015. All home windows replaced, patio door, and front door, as well as cement front stoop. Sorry for a late review. I partly wanted to see how they held up over the seasons, and partly lost track of time.

Very professional, punctual and neat. During installation, the guys ran into an issue with the old interior window frames which we weren’t planning on replacing originally and Thermalcraft worked out a fair compromise.

Overall things went very well. From the first visit discussing just the patio door to the add on of the siding and awning window, Jim and his son Barry were very easy to work with and understanding of our needs. Mario and Frank arrived the day of install on time and were very professional. Everything was cleaned up after they were finished. Everything looks great and we are very happy.

We have made 3 different calls to get him to come out and fix this broken door. So finally he drove out an hour out to our residence and did not come with all the parts needed to fix what was broken. He got angry with us for coming out today. He told us he was charging us for him coming out and not being able to do any work because he didnt have the parts. I even offered to pay for his gas for him coming an hour away. He should have came with the parts to fix the issue. Buyer beware!! I would never use this provider ever again!

Response from Thermalcraft Inc
The owner called once and said she had taken apart the handle of her storm door 1.5 years after it had been [Member Information Removed]. She had stated the lock was no longer working. I asked what she had done to the handle and it was explained that she took it apart to try and fix the issue. I asked what part was needed to be replaced and she stated that the Handle was broken. I told the owner that I would order up a new handle. When we showed up to replace the handle the owner was not present. I inspected the door to find that the handle was replace with the wrong handleset by the owner and the interior mortise portion of the original lock was missing. The owner never stated that this part was a problem and is not the handle which was said to be broken. None of the kids that were present at the home new were the original correct parts were located. They proceeded to call the owner on the phone to find out where the original part were located. She had them bring out parts from an incorrect handleset that she tried to install on the door which were the wrong parts. At this point I could not install the new handle the owner stated was the problem without the mortise portion of the original lock which the owner removed and could not locate. I informed the owner that a new mortise portion of the lock needed to be ordered and she would be charged for that part as well. We came out 1 week later and replaced the new handle and mortise lock and charged her for the parts and a service charge.

From the first angieslist message, the folks at Thermalcraft were extremely responsive and attentive to our needs. We were able to set up a house visit for an estimate within the week. Barry, our primary contact, came by the house and walked us through the process - it was a very low pressure situation (much better than others that came through!) and Barry was patient with all of our questions. This was the approach from the estimate -> order -> install -> follow-up. The windows are of good quality and the installation team worked diligently and effectively to get the job done. We booked cleaners to come in right after them to clean up any remaining dust (the nursery, where all of the windows were changed was our primary concern) but the Thermalcraft team left very little work for them to do! I was impressed throughout. Would recommend to neighbors and encourage anyone else to use their service.

Great! They were very professional and accomodating. They quoted a fair price and made some recommendations. The door was actually delivered on time and the installation was very professional. They cleaned up and took all the garbage with them. The door looks and operates beautifully! Good Job Thermalcraft!! I would use them again in a minute. All the reviews were right.

Originally, this did not go well. I met with one of the owners, Jim I believe, and expressed very specific concerns and I was told none of them would be an issue. On installation day, the windows that the installers started putting in were not what I had contracted for. Upset, I asked the installers (who were wonderful and incredibly understanding) to call their boss so we could discuss what was going on. Eventually one of the installers stepped in and explained my concerns more technically and smoothed things over. Thermalcraft ended up bringing in the correct sized windows/what I had contracted for and installed in a timely manner. Not an ideal experience but in the end they wound up doing the right thing.

We loved working with Thermalcraft. The side door they installed in 2015 exceeded our expectations (door from the laundry room to the outside). Mr. Nelligan, the owner, suggested some options we didn't even know about and we ended up going with one of his suggestions. We were and continue to be thrilled with the door. We also had an attic window that had rotted and we needed to have it replaced (this was the most recent transaction, in 2016). He suggested that, since we did not use the attic, the window would not really be necessary, and we could install a vent instead. We thought his suggestion made a lot of sense (never occurred to us that we didn't need a window), and the installation is great. Once the vent was installed, the workers went over it one more time with a coat of paint just to make sure it was done right. This was over and above expectations, and we appreciated it. We are very, very pleased with the two jobs, and so is my daughter and her husband with the beautiful windows Thermalcraft installed in their bedrooms.
Description of Work: We used Thermacraft twice. Once, they installed a side door to our house. The second time, they installed an attic vent at our house and several windows at our daughter's home.

We had two egress vinyl sliders installed to replace our original metal frame single pane windows. The original appointment for estimate went well. They were on time, professional, and having already had 3 other estimates their price was fair and very competitive. He understood that we did not want to spend a lot but still wanted a good product and reliable install. We decided to go with them based on both price and reviews. It took about 4 weeks for the windows to come in which is reasonable. However we received no call when they did come in. We had to call them. Now the only reason I will not give this company an A is because on the day of install the men were AN HOUR late. We had changed our schedule to arrange for this and we waited and waited. No call or apology for being late. The install took a reasonable amount of time and the installers did what appears to be a pretty good job. The windows look great and are a huge improvement from what we had. We will see how they hold up to the weather. My only problem other than tardiness with the install process was that the employees kept going in and out, walking through mud and wet grass, and then tracking all of that mud onto my white carpet in my finished basement. Have some respect for your clients property please. We have hired others who took the time to clean their boots or put on shoe covers, it is possible. A minor bump in the service tho. Overall, I am fairly pleased with quality, price, and service. The price was extremely competitive and I believe we got a good product for our money. I would hire them again, with the request that they have some regard for our property and time.

Response from Thermalcraft Inc
We appreciate all the feedback and thank you for the opportunity. I wanted to take a minute to clear up a couple of things though. We did not arrive an HOUR late. We arrived on the job site at 8:30. The reason my installer didn't call them is because he didn't think he was late. I tell every customer that we would like to start each job between 7:30 - 8:00. When I talked to Mr. [Member Name Removed] on March 1, he requested that we start no earlier then 8:00, which is no problem, I said we will arrive then between 8 - 8:30. Second, the only reason we did not contact them rite away when the windows came in, is because I was on vacation during that period. I am responsible for all installs and contacting all customers. Mr [Member Name Removed] then called the office on March 1, the day I arrived back to work. I set up their job that day. Exactly 4 weeks from when they signed their contract. We do value every customers home. After talking with both installers, We did not track any mud through the house and cleaned up everything before we left. We have to go in & out of the homes because that's how the installation takes place. I'm sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused you. Again, Thank You for the feedback and for choosing Thermalcraft. Barry Nelligan Vice President

This was a great experience. Our salesperson provided us with numerous cost-effective options and was very respectful of our budget. He was a pleasure to work with. Our doors came in a little ahead of schedule and the installers were prompt and courteous. We are very pleased with the quality of work done. We have had both doors for about 6 months and are very happy with them. We would gladly work with this company again and we highly recommend them.

I am so pleased with the work Thermalcraft did on our investment property's doors and windows. Everything was great from the beginning quote through to the install. I appreciate the fact that I didn't have to sit through a sales pitch to get a quote with them, unlike many other companies who want 1.5-2 hours of your time. The prices were some of the best I received. Barry was great if showing me the options, working with my budget and answering all my questions throughout the process. The install went so smoothly and the guys were great. I will definitely use Thermalcraft going forward and would strongly recommend them.

Generally, the project went well. The crew was on time, worked diligently, and did en excellent job installing the windows and door. They did a very good job protecting the floors with dropcloths and cardboard and cleaned up afterwards. The only concern that I had was that we found dozens of glass shards in the front lawn after the installation. Apparently some glass was broken at some point, but the crew had missed quite a bit of the broken glass.
