Mark the owner of the business came out and gave the quote. It was a breath of fresh air to talk with him compared to haggling with the commissioned "slicksters" from Champion & Great Lakes and their "this pricing is only good today" pressure tactics. Mark gave us the best price right up front, and utilized full frame Heartland windows when everyone else was quoting inserts. I had a couple of extra items done that the others wouldn't even quote. The installer was punctual, courteous, and an obvious craftsman. The Heartland windows look great inside and out. I couldn't be happier!
Description of Work: 10 custom windows replaced plus a steel entry door.

This was a fantastic experience from the beginning to end. We first met the owner, Mark, at the State Fair. He was very nice and wasn't throwing a sales pitch to us in any way. Their price was in the middle to higher range, however, there was a very comforting fell in all discussions that led us to choose Mark and his company. There is a delay in getting the doors and windows ordered and shipped. They are customer made to fit our home so this is standard. Once they were in, scheduling was done immediately and work began on time. We wanted to wait a bit for everything to settle-in after some use before writing our review. The quality of the work, the doors and the bay window is fantastic. After 6 months of regular use, everything is working as well as when it was all installed. We are so very happy with out choice of Mark and his company that we will be looking forward to the next time we need windows. They will be the 1st company we call. Thank you Mark!

Discount Windows was quick to respond to my inquiry. Brought sample window to show. Quoted on first visit, and confirmed in writing on my request. When I agreed to buy, they came to measure carefully, and set an installation date. Installation was earlier than planned, because they had a schedule opening. Installer was a careful craftsman as he removed old windows and dropped in the new. Exterior completion was delayed while they obtained colored material to match my existing trim. Exterior worker did another neat and clean job, including removing and replacing shutters that blocked his work. Final result was better than I expected. New windows look great from inside and outside. I am totally pleased with my new windows.

The installer came promptly and worked all day long. He was polite, professional, friendly. He cleaned up afterwards. I had a good experience, and the windows look nice, and may be accomplishing a little of what I wanted.

Description of Work: They installed new shades in the entire house. The agent called after the installation to see how it went which I appreciated. We had a small miscommunication in that 4 shades were cordless which I originally agreed to but later changed to those with cords because cordless are hard to reach. The agent offered to pay half for replacements and to install them herself. I decided not to go with replacements as I didn't want additional cost and hassle. All in all, very pleasant person to work with.

During our kitchen remodel, a small window was replaced with a wider energy-efficient window, requiring outside work during the coldest part of the winter. Weather (storms and sub-zero temps) issues caused delays of the window delivery and installation. Although the delay was in no way Mark's fault, he arranged for the interior rough-in work to be done on the scheduled date anyway so that the framing inspection could take place, allowing other contractors to complete their work on their scheduled dates. Mark worked with us to get the window installed in a way that was least disruptive to our schedule, even though that meant several schedule changes and extra trips for him and the installer, Tony. | |We have used Discount Windows & Wares multiple times over the past few years and we are always pleased with their service and products. The owner, Mark, is always responsive to phone calls and his quoted price is firm. We have had several windows and the main entry door replaced, as well as gutters, and a small siding job. Everyone we have dealt with at Discount Windows and Wares has been friendly, professional, and goes above and beyond our expectations. When they are done with the job, they clean the work area up so well you can't tell they've been here except that the work is done. | |We highly recommend Discount Windows & Wares for any of the home services and products they provide.

y satisfiedThe two man crew finished the install of the windows in two days. Some adjustments had to take place. These adjustments were made during installation due to the age of the house. Every adjustment was conveyed to me for approval. The crew did a tremendous job. I am completely satisfied with the workmanship and appearance. There was no cleanup for me to take care of. They hauled the garbage and my old windows with them. I would definitely recommend Discount Windows!

On our first home, we interviewed various contractors. This contractor was the most knowledgable about their products and how to install that product. We use to have a 1890's farm house. They were able to replace odd dimensions of window openings. We are very happy. We had one window that broke. No questions asked, they replaced the window .
Description of Work: We had 10 windows replaced, the remaining 14 windows repaired and wrapped. We had hunter Douglas blinds placed on 4 windows. The windows have anti theft locks so that I can raise the window slightly for air circulation. All the windows fold in a way to wash all sides from inside thehouse. Three of these blinds open from the top to allow privacy because we are facing a busy street or driveway. The availability of colors were excellent. We also used this contractor on our former home. Excellent workmanship, excellent communicators, and excellent product.

I got two estimates. Discount Windows and Wares provided the product I was looking for. They were the cheaper of two bids. and did the work on the agreed upon date. The workmanship was excellent and the cleanup was very thorough. Both the owner and installer were very easy to deal with. The installer helped me re install the blinds when the job was finished. I would use them again.

In a word: GREAT! I had little standard windows down there. Although the workmen were concerned about getting the work done before the weather got cold, they showed up on time or a day or two ahead of time, dug the new deep window wells, installed the metal walls, cut through the concrete walls and installed the windows. Even though the new windows are fully 4 times larger than the old, the basement is now significantly warmer and my heat bill actually went down. The workmen cleaned up very well, were patient about explaining, and did a fine job. The only thing I'd change is that I wish they also offered all wood sash instead of clad. I have recommended these people to many others.
