The installer was very professional and knowledgable. The job went very smoothly and quick. You cannot tell that a repair had taken place and all of the old materials were removed. Pickens was recommended to us and we did not get another quote because the price was OK and time was a factor. The price seemed a little high to me but it could actually be very competitive.
Description of Work: Home inspection found a broken seal between a double paned window in a bedroom (fairly standard size). The screen frame on the same window was brittle and was falling apart. Pickens was hired to repair the window and screen. The window was fixed by installing new glass.

They recommended somebody else to do a portion of the work and I did hire that person. Pickens Windows Service was very good during the quoting process. They were great and very professional. I really liked them because they were able to tell me what they couldn’t do as well as what they could do. They helped me out very much. I will use them in the future.
Description of Work: I received an estimate from Pickens Windows Service about a month ago for re-screening a screened-in porch.

We were surprised that it did not blow the frame out of the building and they did a great job of repairing and replacing it. They scheduled when they would be there for the estimate and for the repair. They had to come back because the screen needed to be replaced instead of repaired and they scheduled when they would be back. They showed up when they said they would and the price was good. We were really impressed with them actually. We spent a total of about $750 on that service. The windows had one of the expanded aluminum security screens on it that had holes blown in the screen and they repaired that screen because it was going be more to replace it and given the situation we did not want to replace it. They saved us $400 by repairing the screen instead of replacing it.
Description of Work: We used Pickens Windows Service and they replaced screen and windows, repaired the window spring because we had someone blast some fireworks through one of the windows for a business and tried to blow it up.

This has potential to be messy work, yet everything looked great at the end of the job. We had to do no painting. I highly recommend this company.

As stated above, Pickens obviously screwed up this order and refused to stand by their work.
Description of Work: We recently moved into an old house that had several missing or damaged screens. I wasn't sure about the size of one missing screen, in a storm door, so I brought along the storm window to Pickens' so that they could measure the correct size. Some time later, when the order was finished, I picked up the screens. One of the new screens fit okay and the repaired one was pricey but adequate. HOWEVER, the front storm door screen, which Pickens themselves had measured, did not fit at all and the wrong, too small, spline was used. I returned the item to Pickens but they refused to repair or replace the screen at their cost and insisted on charging me $35.38 for a new screen...which I declined. I will never use their services again even though I own several rental properties that are often in need of window or screen repairs. Since using Pickens on at least one previous occasion, I have learned that there are several other companies that do similar service in our area at a much cheaper cost.

Repair was done on site. The technician, Gary, explained everything he was doing and showed a high level of of expertise. He removed the windows and the cranks and slides. He had replacements in the truck and quickly replaced the windows with the new parts. Very professional job, area was left clean, orderly and we received tips on taking care of the cranks and slides. We would definetly recommend them and use them again.
Description of Work: We have casement sidelights on both sides of a large bowbay window in our kitchen that are about 20 years old. The cranks to open and close the windows have not been working and the manufacturer went of of business. We were referred to Pickens by Windows Plus as "probably the only area people who could fix these windows". We were hoping to repair rather than replace the windows.

Good. Gary came when scheduled, took the old balance out and put in new one. Then he checked to make sure it went up and down correctly and locked, cleaned up and off he went. I was very happy to find this company as I had been searching in Angie's list and came up with a bunch of window companies but not window repair. As far as the price goes, there is a flat trip charge and they charge labor in half hour increments. He could have done two windows in that time frame so you have to keep that in mind when evaluating the price. I thought it was fair indeed.

Our windows would not stay up. We had six windows repaired for a total cost of $250.00, which i think is very expensive. The repairman was very late, we did not receive a call from Picken's, advising us of the delay. Once he arrived on the scene, he was very professional and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Our double hung windows would not stay up. They were repaired and now they work well.

Serviceman showed up on time and assessed the repairs needed. He replaced two ropes in windows that had broken ropes. For the three back/top windows with broken ropes, he suggested securing them with screws rather than replacing the ropes. This saved me a lot of money and the solution was fine with me as we don't ever lower the top windows. He was here less than an hour. It is wonderful to have all of the windows in our house functional again!
Description of Work: Replaced ropes in 95-year-old wood front windows; secured loose back/top windows.

Ed is very professional and the team always arrives on time. The team of 3 sets to work immediately. The owner, Ed Sr., and his son, Ed Jr. work outside. And one person, a woman, works inside. The windows really shine. I think the cost is reasonable for the amount of work required. They're also very careful with the vegetation outside. I can highly recommend Pickens. They've been cleaning our windows for years. They came highly recommended.
Description of Work: At least once a year, sometimes twice, the team comes and cleans our windows, both inside and outside. We have a lot of double hung windows - 14 in all - and a lot of windows with very small 4" x 4" divided pane windows that are 100 years old and very hard to clean. We also have some storm windows and screens at all windows.

Did just that, and brought a piece of the “thick” that didn't fit as a gauge. They gave us a piece of the next size down to try. It was perfect. Went back and had them cut the length needed, and it now fits like a glove. Their offer of the test sample was very considerate
Description of Work: After having the front door painted, we decided to replace the kerf insulation. Picked some up at one of the local hardware chains and it was much too thick; couldn’t get the door shut. Checked around the other locals and couldn’t find anything different, other than the adhesive type. Called Pickens and they said to stop by, they had a wide variety of kerf at varying thickness.

Several double hung windows did not operate properly - one came smashing down on my finger 6 months ago, resulting in a trip to the ER. Two were stuck and I could not get them open. After reading the reviews here, decided to give Pickens a try. Called Pickens on a Thursday, the lady I spoke to was very nice and was able to schedule me for the following Monday, with an understanding of a 30-min heads up call so I could get home to meet them. Monday morning they called between 8 and 8:30, as promised, to confirm the appointment. Then I received the call at 12:15 pm that they were on their way. He showed up at 12:35, took a look at ALL my windows (20+), explained the problem spots and got to work. He was done and gone by 1:30. All my windows work properly and he lubricated the ones that needed it. I am pleased with the price and the speediness. One small beef - it would have been nice if he wore shoe covers - he was going in and out of the house to get parts and brought in some dirt. But - I am a clean freak, so take this with a grain of salt! :) Overall, very good experience, and I am ecstatic that I do not have to spend $$$$ on new windows!
Description of Work: Replaced parts on 4 malfunctioning large windows, reattached detached parts. Lubricated 8 more windows. Inspected all windows in the house (20+).

They had to figure out a more efficient and less expensive way to rescreen my porch due to the way it is constructed. It looks very nice now and much better than it did with big holes in it! They were very reliable. When they said they were coming, they came. They worked very well and quickly.

Receptionist took detailed information and gave me a time and job number. They called the morning of the appointment to confirm the time window. They provided a 30-minute notification call and arrived at the beginning of the time window. The technicians addressed the window repairs that were feasible very quickly and left everything clean and tidy. They saved me time by having the right hardware and skills.
