The guys who did the work were a little late, but no big deal. It was a Saturday. My only worry because it was December. Finished by dark. Wow!! They were quick, neat, professional. They finished way ahead of dark. I would recommend Window World to my friends & family. Thanks!

The salesman, Bill, gave me a rough estimate over the phone. Surprisingly, there were no hidden costs. I ended up paying what I was quoted. I was told I would get them installed in about 12 weeks. They actually installed them in about 8 weeks, ahead of schedule. The install guys showed up on time, did the job in the time they said they would and were respectful of my home. They cleaned up everything before they left. I am very happy with the whole process and product. They look great and drastically improve the look of my home, inside and out. I had a particular problem with my old windows which were very poorly finished and were drafty. The installers caulked the gaps, filled in the drafty areas and professionally finished around each window. We are happy and much warmer. Time will tell whether they leak or if the warranty is honored. I will be back on Angie's List if anything changes!

I wrote another review rating Window World with a C. This was because the salesman and people in showroom who promised to get back to me, did not. Took about 8 wks for delivery and first delivery did not go well. Thankfully we said do not destroy old door before we examine new one. The door had two different side lites! We had to send it back to factory and wait a couple of weeks for another one. Kimberly Taylor who I finally asked to deal with exclusively was great. She got us money off our bill for all our frustration and was professional, returned calls and very responsive. The second door looked good except it had a small dent in the base plate. We accepted it anyway with a few dollars off again because we really did not want to wait till spring (It was Dec..&I live in snowy area) so we will live with it. I would probably use them again because of their pricing and quality when right door is sent but I would only deal with Kimberly throughout process. I wish I could give it a B- because Kimberly was so helpful - but can only rate without + or -.

Window World removed our aluminum siding and installed vinyl siding. When the job was done, we told the contractor that he had hung the siding too low on the back of our house. He placed it directly over a cement patio with no space between the two to account for winter's deep freeze and the patio raising out of the ground a bit. He said this wouldn't be a problem, but he would come back to fix it if it was. So, as we expected, the patio raised and caused the siding and trim to buckle. We also have areas where the siding is "waffling" because the piece was cut too long. We called them as soon as we saw the damage and they sent someone out and said it will be fixed. They set up a date to fix the problem and when that day came, they just sent out another guy to look at the problem. It's now June and they have scheduled it to be fixed 3 or 4 times and each time a guy comes out to look at it again. The salesman was great and said all the right stuff to get us to use them, but everything after has been HORRIBLE!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!!

Staff at Window World do not return phone calls.
Description of Work: I ordered windows at end of May; salesman measured them and promised delivery within one month. I specifically asked him if he would be sending anyone out to measure as other contractors (Huff and Puff, Comfort Windows) had told me that they would need to send another person to verify measurements. When windows arrived (almost two months later), they were the wrong size and windows need to be reordered. They put them on rush but windows are still not available. I have absolutely no confidence in Window World at this point. However, I am stuck in the contract; I have asked for a discount considering their poor performance but no one has responded.
