Description of Work: Replaced patio door. The workers came in, replaced the door, checked to see if it worked, made necessary adjustments and made sure I could open, close and lock it. They were professional, knew what they were doing and I'm pleased with their work. I would use them again.

I've delayed putting the review up because I wanted to see if what the salesman told me was true. I ordered the Vytex Fortis Windows. There were upcharges for painted (dark bronze) windows and for the sliding glass door of the same color. I really wanted the Georgetown windows but was told I couldn't get it painted. I had to have painted windows to meet the condo association requirements. I placed the order during the last week of April and was told they would be installed in approximately 8 weeks. Almost exactly 1 month to the day I ordered, everything was installed. I was happy! The salesman (Joe) who lives in the community, came to watch the installers and took photos. I know nothing about window and door installations but everything seemed to go without a hitch. They started early, about 8am and left about 5pm. The installers cleaned up everything! They used a dry vac to vacuum the carpet. I could not have be more pleased with Mark and his partner with the care they took in my home. I was told that these windows and the door (Vytex series 7000) would make and immediate difference on the way my home felt. They did. I generally keep my home warmer than most but during this summer's heat wave, I could literally stand at my front window (direct morning sun) and couldn't feel a thing. I forgot to add that I paid an upcharge to get R5 windows. These windows are supposed to provide triple pane energy efficiency but have only two panes of glass. ???? All I know is that they work. They are extremely smooth to operate and the door, as easy as it slides, feels like it's made for a commercial establishment. I mean, it feels strong. I'd absolutely do business with General Home Improvement again. As a matter of fact, I'm saving up now to have them install my front entry door. Probably in October or November.
Description of Work: I purchased and had installed a large sliding glass door (9ft) and 3 windows.

I worked with Brian Thorne over a couple of months to spec out each facet of the door via catalog and web. Even though I let the project lapse a couple of times, whenever I called Brian, he brought up the paperwork and he reviewed everything patiently with me. High marks for Brian to sticking with the project. After ordering (about 50% down to make the order) the door took about 6 weeks to arrive at their warehouse. We scheduled the installation the following week. The door assembly arrived on the morning of the installation on a pickup truck. Paul & Mike first built a fence around the existing door to contain the lead dust, then went about demolishing the old door, sidelights, transom and frame. This took a while. They made the needed repairs around the frame and built up the threshold w/ some quikcrete where the brick and concrete had deteriorated. Installation of the door was relatively quick, just setting the new pre-hung frame in the hole and leveling it off. After screwing the new door in place, they trimmed out the rest and caulked. The only troublespot was the door hardware, the company supplying the hardware w/ the door inexplicably only included the external handle, so Paul & Mike added a temporary lock setup until the internal parts come in for the new hardware. A couple of days. Note that the door, transom and sidelights are unfinished, only the trim was primed, so you'll have to schedule painting soon after the installation to avoid weather damage to the door.
Description of Work: Specification & installation of a custom-built wood front door w/ sidelights and transom to replace existing 90 year old stick built unit. There was an initial visit to measure the existing door opening, the standard fee for this is $75.

There is a guy named Mr. Allan who is amazing. He gives you great customer service and explains exactly what it is you are buying. He explained the triple pane windows and how this will help with insulation. We had something very specific that we needed to do and they worked with me to make sure everything was correct. Door and Window Warehouse has been around for a long time and the prices are very reasonable. You have many more options to choose from than other door and window companies. They always treat their customers with respect.
Description of Work: I have purchased 3 basement block style windows. I have also purchased 8 windows throughout the house and 2 bay windows. I am using them right now for my shutters. I have also purchased doors from them.

How did it go overall? See above. This entire episode has been a complete disaster. I would advise anyone who intends to use Window and Doors Warehouse LLC to take this advice; "Be careful in your business affairs, because the world is full of trickery'." Oh, by the way, I never received a signed copy of my contract from the company. The rekeying that I wanted was done by the company's installer, who was recommended by the salesman that I dealt with. The company is attempting to use their installer as a shield, because after I was informed by the company's salesman that their installer was a professional locksmith I hired the installer to rekey my new doors for a sum of $255.00. Afterwards, the company informed that their installer was a "private employee", and I had to hire the services of a real professional locksmith as noted earlier to re-rekey the doors after the job was botchede. I was left with a handful of keys that are now worthless, doors that are not aligned and plumb, and a wall that is still cracked.
Description of Work: I signed a contract with Door and Window Warehouse in October 2011 to install entry doors at my home (one metal security door and one fiberglass entry door. The contract, totaling $4,931.05, stated that the work was supposed to be completed within two days. I began having problems immediately with the locks, because I later out found from a professional locksmith that the doors were not "plumb + true" [according to the locksmith]. I wrote letters to the company on December 7 and December 9, 2011 complaining about the doors and the locks, called more once and received no response, other than talk to the installer. By December 6th I refused to put up with the run-around and wrote another letter directly to the owner, Michael J. O'Leary, on December 26, 2011. Just prior to my receiving my last letter, Mr. O'Leary called me when he found out that I contacted American Express and requested that they withhold $1,000.00 from my credit card account until Mr. O'Leary sent someone out to correct the problems with my door. When I picked up the phone I expected him to say that he would come out to check the doors, but I was wrong, Mr. O'Leary became obnoxious, berated me, called me a jerk, and threatened to take legal action against me. I took as much as I could stand, and then terminated our telephone call. Later on,I received a letter from Mr. O'Leary, dated December 19, 2011, in which he attempted to put the blame on me for his actions. His letter, as I stated in my last letter to him on December 26, was filled with "untruths, half-truths, and self-serving statements". As of today, December 31, I have heard no more from him. Currently I have a cracked wall next to my door, locks that seize up sometimes, and doors that are not properly aligned. I have filed a case with American Express, the Maryland Consumer Protection Division, the Maryland Home Improvement Commission, and now Angie's List in the hope that my suggestions to solve this matter will be taken seriously.

The door was expensive (but I guess it is the best brand), but Brian and the installation team were all great. Definitely will be using them again in the future.

Entire process was easy, on time and we are happy with the results.
Description of Work: We used Door and Window to replace our front original wood front door that was weather damaged. The staff at Window and Door Warehouse was the most professioanal and knowledgable of any of the vendors we contacted. We worked with Alan who walked us through the process explaining all the door options and installation. All aspects took place on time and as expected. The installation crew was also timely and professional. We ended up with a new fiber glass (Provia) and are vey happy with the results

They may do the work but we haven’t decided it yet. The quote was for $2000. They were very knowledgeable about what they do. They had a very good selection of doors which probably not everybody would have. You have several there for you to view. I don’t think their prices were particularly good; they seemed a little high, but then they may be worth it. They took a lot of time to explain things. The only carry high quality doors which are on top of the line. They have other selections too for you to view. They have good samples and how the doors are constructed and the different textures and colors and things like that.
Description of Work: We have shopped at Door and Window Warehouse LLC. They gave us the quote about 2 weeks ago. The quote was for the supply and installation of the entry door and storm door.

I have used them for nine years now. They are very knowledgeable about the products and services. They are very good. They have sub-contractors that install the windows. These sub-contractors are not laborers; they are craftsmen, who install the windows. Window Warehouse is a family-operated business. I really like them. I had ordered windows from them like the ones that were already in my house. I wanted very good windows. The owner, Joe O? Leary, has a lot of integrity. He worked with me on the kinds of windows that wanted. He advised me and told me that the kind of windows that I wanted were expensive. However, he showed me more windows that would fit into my budget. I ended up getting very good windows. I was very pleased with my windows. They are very trustworthy. Everybody there is very knowledgeable. They remember their customers. The prices can range from moderate to expensive. I?ve never shopped for doors in the other places. I feel that with them, you get what you pay for. I?ll definitely recommend this company. I?ll certainly use them in the future.
Description of Work: I use Window Warehouse for windows. They have installed 11 windows for me, over seven years.
