Affordable Windows & Construction

We had used Affordable Windows at a previous residence and decided to use their services and product at our present home. Everything was done professionally and we were kept informed at all times. The installation was done without any problems and the windows are great. We have a few more windows that will be replaced and we will use Affordable Windows again.

His work was very good. The only complaint I have is that it is hard to contact them. I think that is because he stays so busy.

We?ve used Affordable window and construction in the past with good results. When we decided to add two new windows to our home we called Todd and he came out in a day or so to provide a quote. We decided to move forward with the project and placed the order. Due to a gas line in the way installation had to be pushed back until we could get it moved. With that out of the way and a break in the weather, Todd and his team were able to get the windows installed. Todd made installation easy, I came home to find the mess cleaned up and a window in place. Todd understood we had a dog and worked with me to make sure she was taken care of. When it?s time to start replacing our existing windows I will be calling Todd.

Went very well. I called them, they called back, they went to the house, made an estimate, I agreed to the estimate and paid half down, they ordered the windows and got them two weeks later and put them right in. They look great and are performing well.

Last fall we had Todd replace our wood deck off the back porch. He came highly recommended from good friends, and he did a great job. Since we had history with his company, they certainly had an advantage when we needed a quote for window replacement. We got quotes from three other Angie's List companies and went with Todd and Affordable W&C because of price and we knew it would be done right. We paid our down payment on December 18 and were told the windows would be ready in about three weeks. Then, when he remembered the Christmas week upcoming, said it might be four weeks, since the manufacturer closes for the final week of the year. Four and a half weeks later, I called Todd and asked when the windows would be in. He said probably next week. He called about five days later and said the windows were ready, can we install on Jan 28? That was one day short of six weeks since we put down half. We couldn't schedule anything that week, but were hoping something the week of Feb 4th. Unfortunately, his "number one installer" was not available again until the 12th. So, we scheduled installation for the 12th. We would absolutely use Todd and Affordable Windows again, but the scheduling of the work was a headache. The windows look great. The color matches exactly what we wanted outside and inside. Each of the rooms are noticeably warmer already, although that may say more about our old windows than the new ones. We are extremely happy with the product. We are very happy that the installation was finished in only one day. We are very pleased with the price, as it was only beat by less than a percent by one other company and person who was not nearly as personable as Todd.

After 3 months and about a dozen attempts to contact them, I'm giving up. There was an understandable delay two months ago, but they just fell off the face of the earth. Tried to reach by phone and email. Nothing. Disappointing as I got 3 quotes and wanted to go with them. Now I have to start all over. I wouldn't recommend using them. Update: After leaving feedback, I received a call back and Todd explained the reason for the delay. I am satisfied.

All windows were installed in one single day, work started at 8 am and was done by 5 pm. Everything was left very clean. Old windows were removed as well. The installers were very careful with there work, so not to damage anything in and outside the house. We highly recommend this company

No hard sale, just honest suggestions and estimate.

Affordable Windows gave me the window I wanted, installed it expertly and professionally. This company was much better than a franchise I used, and I am happy to support competent small business owners.

Todd was very knowledgeable and professional. I left a voice mail message for him about 2 weeks after receiving the estimate to hire him for the siding job. I plan to hire him for the job. Update: Affordable Windows and Construction went out of their way to help me out. The company we hired to paint the exterior of our house requested that they prime both sides of the T-111 before they were hung. I contacted Todd and he delivered the lumber about four days in advance of the installation. They worked through rain and very hot weather to compete the job. It looks excellent and a few neighbors asked about the siding replacement and who did the work. I would highly recommend them!

He came in and did an estimate to put a round window in. I ordered the window from him and he will be installing it for me. My overall experience with him has been excellent.

The owner name is Todd Pickett. I am pleased with their work. It took them around 1 or 2 days to finish the work. They gave me a better situation than anybody I talked with. They did a good job.

My windows were installed two weeks earlier than anticipated. I am very pleased with the installation as well as the new windows. The windows were removed from a cinder block home and replaced with energy efficient white vinyl clad windows. It made a world of difference in curb appeal. Both men were very polite and professional, They told me a time to expect them and they were punctual. They were finished in less than two days. Their price was very reasonable and there were no hidden or unexpected costs. And..the best part is my windows were made in Chicago. Buy American!!

Todd came in May to measure for a quote on our new windows. He was a very nice man. I asked if he could email me a quote but said he doesn't use email. He called me back a few days later to give me the quote but unfortunately I had to leave town on a family emergency and then was away on vacation so when I finally got back to him (about 6 weeks later) we scheduled an appointment for him to come and present me with the quote. When he arrived he said he had lost all his previous measurements and notes so he needed to measure again. He then called the office from my house to get a quote. He didn't get the information he needed so he told me he would go back to office and call me that afternoon with the quote. He tried to call me many times but I was not available and was away for the weekend. He left me a message and when I didn't return his call he continued to call very frequently. I was out of town and did not want to take down the information. He seemed very disorganized. We went with another company that was much more professional in their presentation and I felt like I could trust to do the job right. I didn't feel comfortable trusting Todd with a $14,000 project on my home.

They showed up when they said they would. I would use them again in needed.

Wonderful experience. Excellent service. Will definitely use again in the future!

They were absolutely wonderful. The windows were excellent. Our neighbors even saw them and went with them. Their price was very good. They did an excellent job. They installed quality windows and we could tell the difference immediately. They did an excellent job with the installation. They came immediately and gave us the quote. They installed the windows when they said they were going to. They had a knowledgeable crew that installed the windows. They just did an excellent job. We’ve had no trouble with the windows at all. They were excellent. We would use their services again in the future.

Todd told me they would be there to install between 9 and 9:30 and they arrived at 9 and went to work right away. Todd and his brother worked until 4 or so to complete the job and never took a break. They cleaned up everything well. I was happy with the work and would hire again.

Todd and his brother were very friendly and professional. We had them come out for an estimate around the end of March. They gave us an estimate on the 2 windows replaced along with 2 other windows that need replaced. Todd gave us a price without hassling us about replacing the 2 other windows, but did advise us that they would need replaced soon. When the windows came in around the end of April, Todd and his brother came out and took out the old windows and put in the new ones. They had to come back the next day to finish the caulking and casement outside. The windows look great and match well with our outdoor trim. We were very happy with the service and reasonable pricing. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Project went very well. Wood root was discovered when two windows were removed and woudl not have been found if we had used replacement windows. We ended up replacing the T-111 siding with fiber-cement board.

We had already suffered through two other estimates from window salesmen before I got in touch with Todd; one seemed suspiciously inexpensive and the other seemed much too expensive. I learned more about window construction/sales/installation from talking to Todd for 10 minutes on the phone than I had sitting with the other two men for three hours. When he came out to show us a sample and give us an estimate, we knew he was the right choice—knowledgeable, friendly, and reasonably priced. I called him back out a few days later to measure the windows and draw up a contract, and we paid half of the total as a deposit. Our windows were ready about six weeks later and we made an appointment for installation; Todd said it wouldn't take more than a day to complete the job. Two installers arrived late on the day of installation, apparently due to a delay beyond their control at the pick-up location. They were annoyed to find that I hadn't removed the blinds, not at me but at Todd for not mentioning that I should have. The installers, Bill and Robby, were friendly and thorough but progress was slow, maybe a little slower than it needed to be. Todd visited the site, spoke to me and to them, and went on his way. The installers kicked off early the first day with less than half of the work done. My husband came home from work to find that, not only were there uninsulated gaps around the windows, seven of our new windows were leaning up against a tree on the side of our house awaiting installation. He called Todd, who came over to explain what was acceptable (the small gaps) and what was not (the windows-on-the-tree situation). It became clear to us then that Bill and Robby were not Todd's employees but subcontractors, which may explain why they called him "that guy" in conversation. Installation was completed on the second day, even though the weather was rainy and much worse than the previous day. The house stunk due to the silicone caulk, especially since we couldn't open the windows because of the rain, but the windows looked GREAT. Bill and Robby did an excellent job caulking and capping the windows, and we were extremely happy with the product itself. Todd came by the next business day to collect the balance due and his yard sign, plus apologize again for the things that were less than ideal. Time will tell if there is a marked improvement in temperature transfer (or lack thereof) and noise control but so far we are impressed. The windows look great, feel great, and come with a solid warranty. Todd was easy to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. As a matter of fact, I recommended him to my sister-in-law (who needs a patio door) and plan to use him to replace our storm doors.

They inflated the price of the windows. With the $349.00 I paid when it was all finished and said I could have purchased two windows of same quality some place else. I got a refund of my $349.00 from Angie's List.

Todd Pickett, and his brother, completed this job in less than one day. They also did a great job cleaning up the construction trash. I AM LATE with this report because I wanted to go through the winter and feel the effectiveness of these new windows. They ARE so much better than our old wood windows. I would use this company again and have referred them to two of our friends.

We contacted Todd of Affordable Window & Construction Co. after we had already had four other highly ranked Angie?s List window companies visit, discuss options, and provide quotes. Although my wife and I, for the most part, were satisfied with some of the other quotes we had obtained, one of my employees could not say enough about Todd, and that prompted us to obtain a fifth quote. We are very glad we did this! Todd was knowledgeable and provided greater insight into several aspects of the work that needed to be performed. Although we had measurements, that many of the other companies borrowed, Todd took careful initial measurements and provided an estimate that was one to three thousand dollars less than the other companies. Moreover, we very much liked the fact he was going to be involved in the whole process with his installer Doug. After we decided to use them, we were very happy we did so. He came and did a final estimate, ordered the windows, and delivered them as soon as they came in. He then introduced us to Doug. Doug was great and did a flawless job, absolutely perfect, installation. Todd dropped by routinely to check on the job, which was completed in 3 days as planned. Both he and Doug did a final walk through and left the place very clean. We have now had the windows for a little over seven months and have had no issues with them. In fact, the new windows noticeably lessened the nuisance of the cold winter weather. I should add that in November we were unfortunately burglarized. The burglars entered the house via kicking in the front door. After my first call to the police, my second call was to Todd, who immediately came out and boarded up the door for us. That was great, as I was planning on doing that myself, but he was glad to help. We ordered a new door then and there from him. This time he had two other installers and his twin brother, Rodd, come, and like Doug these guys were very good. We are very glad to know Todd and, as exemplified by contacting him for our door, would never hesitate to have him do more work for us in the future. Simply stated he and his crew are outstanding!

Todd was very knowledgable and took initial measurements. Gave an excellent presentation and estimate. After we decided to use them, he came and did a final estimate. He ordered and the windows and installed them as soon as they came in. We are very pleased and fell that we also got an excellent price for an exceptional product.
