The owner himself sold me my replacement windows. I remember him making a big deal that all windows come with a LIFETIME Warranty. We joked about having small children and the unexpected things that can happen. He reassured me Lifetime means Lifetime. He also hand wrote it on my invoice. That coming from the owner was a large part of why I paid Venture more than their competitors. A few years passed and one of my windows started getting cloudy. I went to Venture and in a week or so I picked up my replacement. Now again I have another cloudy piece of glass. Only this time Venture forwarded me to their vendor who told us we would need to fill out an online form. After approx 4 weeks with no update we contacted them again. They said since its been 20yrs we would need to pay $70 for the replacement. I left a message for Bruce only to be called back by his staff to let me know $70 was more important than honoring their agreement. This is something to consider before hiring.
Description of Work: Honoring their Lifetime warranty on windows. Can companies just start doing the right thing. It could have been $7 and it would still be Wrong.

Response from VENTURE WINDOW LLC.
Like most window installers, Venture sells windows manufactured by large window companies. The warranty on the window, just like dishwashers and other appliances, comes from the manufacturer, not the local company who installed it. These windows, like all others, come with pro-rated warranties - so "lifetime" does not mean 100% coverage forever. In this case, the first 10 years was 100% and there is a partial cost after that time. The warranty details were, and still are, available on the manufacturer's website, as well as the process required for exercising the warranty. I'm sorry [Member Name Removed] assumed there would never be any shared cost, but this is an industry standard.

I am an avowed DIY-er, but I know my limitations ! In our version of "This Old House", our recent purchase of a 1910 home was in desperate need of new windows. The quotation appointment was prompt, on-time, with options offered for different grade of replacements and features. The price seemed fair (not a bargain basement offer, and VERY far from the 'ridiculous' numbers always put out by an un-named famous national chain). The expectations for installation date range were clearly set (as we all know some of the supply chain challenges we are all currently living with). Installation date was arranged, once they had the units from their supplier. Friendly reminder call the day before, crew of 2 showed up exactly on time, and the work was efficiently and professionally executed. 15 replacements completed on 1st day, and 2 more days (per plan) to complete to work for installing 2 brand new openings for 2 additional windows. Only a few days in, so far - but we could NOT be happier. The work was completed with craftsmanship (see below, as a portion of the work was more than just installing replacements).
Description of Work: Replacements for 15 existing windows, and the complete installation of 2 NEW windows. Cutting new openings and inner wall framing for the 2 new openings, with a professional job of interior and exterior trim. The task of touch-up painting and painting of trim is ours... This has begun so we've had the chance for close inspection of the work, and we are completely thrilled. I would HIGHLY recommend Venture !

I highly recommend this business if you live in the Providence area. They are straightforward, professional, and very responsive. The team that came to replace the windows are professional carpenters and they work for Venture and are not outsourced contractors, so if a problem arises, you can just contact Venture. I am very pleased with their efficiency, customer service and the quality of work they performed.

I had Venture window done front balcony work. That was well done years ago. So when I had some problem with backside balcony I immediately called them. John came and everything went as scheduled. The whole job was well by Bob and Dave. I now won't need worry about leak and break down. With window closure the room could reach 75 degree while outside is below 32! Very happy! Highly recommended.

Venture Windows was recommended as my residence is an historic home and follows certain structural guidelines for improvements. I see i offer a somewhat different review than others however, I am writing to express my sincere disappointment with this company and asking that others seriously consider using them for installation. Very long story quite abbreviated - after waiting over three months for the order to arrive which was three storm doors (arrived on time), 6 sashes and 8 storm windows (I was informed that two months was waiting period), two sashes and two storms were incorrectly measured. The owner took responsibility for inaccurately measuring them. As I waited an additional five weeks for this order to be completed, two of three of my replacement storm doors would not operate. Two company installers appeared to have one of them in full working order. A day later it was not working again and I fixed it myself rather than experience any more frustration with a simple issue that could have been rectified. Finally, to my surprise, an ordered opaque bathroom window (ordered on June 12) was no longer offered and I was told by the owner could not be an option. I was told this on October 30. Importantly, it was listed on the invoice and no one communicated this to me. I now have a window not at all meeting my satisfaction. Needless to say, I was insulted by the compensation (or discount) that was offered by the owner in light of these inconveniences. Even more insulting was the offer he made to pay for the mini-blinds that I will now need to cover the bathroom window that they cannot replace ($37.00). I need to be clear - I do not write reviews. I only do so in order that others are aware as you consider this company for future window replacement/construction work. It is appalling that this is the customer service received – I say this regardless of the tremendous financial cost and inconvenience that their errors have caused.

We're sorry you were disappointed with this project. We did our best to try to resolve the problems as quickly as possible. Lead times for custom historic products are somewhat unpredictable, as there are only a few specialty woodworking shops who make these products. In your case, we also were asked to have them pre-painted, which involves a different vendor and another step in the process. And yes, there was human error in ordering some of these custom sized windows, which we completely accepted responsibility for. The re-makes were expedited to 5 weeks from the usual 12 weeks. As for the storm doors, we often need to make small adjustments after the installation, which we did as you requested. The second adjustment was simple enough for you to do yourself. We also extended you a credit for $500 for your inconvenience, which you accepted.

John Mills, the owner, was prompt in his response to my inquiry. He visited my house and provided me with options and suggestion. He quoted the job promptly as well. The Venture crew showed up as expected. Bob's crew was very professional and organized. They were respectful of my property and protected the work area as much as possible. The sliding door and windows quality and installation workmanship are exceptional. After the job was completed, they cleaned the work areas of any debris and extra material. The addition of these Venture products makes my home as beautiful and livable as I had envisioned it would be. Thanks, Venture.

I have tried going to get basement windows done for months, started in late summer and was hoping to get it done before the winter comes. I went to the big stores like Lowe's, and they never responded to my inquiries, said they would get the job done however months passed and not even a response back. Anyways with venture window I contacted them because I got a promotional email, i mentioned my issues and project needs. From there on it was quick and responsive! They got the measurements asap, worked with my busy schedule, ordered the parts, and got the job done very quick, clean and efficient! George was the man who fixed all my windows, and he did a really great job! A+++++ My next project is replacing my house windows, and I will definitely be using Venture window again! Thank you guys so much!

As I said, this was a difficult job. Everything had to look level. When it didn't satisfy me, they went all out to make me happy. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I didn't make it easy for them. Still a little slanted, but I'm the only one that notices. I can't say enough about how nice they were to me. Workmanship and attitude was fantastic.
Description of Work: Installed five new windows on enclosed front porch, along with a new storm door and new vinyl siding. They had to remove 5 slatted windows where the mechanisms for opening and closing were rusted, and removed the old siding. The difficulty level was extreme as the porch slants due to years of settling. Very old house.

This experience did not go so well. Why I don?t recommend this provider: 1. Purchased deal on 05/28/1515. I have a disability - explained that I needed a week in advance of any appointment made. I receiv a call at 8PM one night to have the installation done the next day. Was unable to make that appointment and was promised callback next day to reschedule. I had to call back more than a week later for appointment. Appointment made for the following week; 2. Two workers arrive and removed 7 windows before starting any installation. When they attempt to install 2 windows in den they realize the windows are wrong size?never checked measurements despite the fact that I was told later that this has happened before. Luckily, they carefully removed the original windows because I said I wanted to give them away and reinstalled them. The windows did not, function because they were nailed into the frames. I had to stuff the air gaps with newspaper to keep insects out and keep A/C in. I could not open the windows and they did not reinstall my blinds. I have a muscle disease and lived like this for 3 weeks before the new windows arrived. I had to climb up and down on a couch every day to staple a piece of fabric for privacy and remove it during the day; 3. After the installers left, I inspected the 3 basement windows and couldn?t believe the mess they left?glass on the floor because they destroyed the windows they removed (lucky the new ones were the right size) and sprayed foam around the windows that bubbled up and was covering the window and frame. The installer later falsely claimed that I asked to have the foam added, which I did not; 4. One installer walked past me toward the back of my house to use the bathroom without even asking. They left a large ladder behind and I was told they would pick it up when they returned with the new windows and never asked if it was OK with me. Bruce did come before that at my request that he see the mess and he did take the ladder at that time; 5. Second pair of installers came 3 weeks later. Fairly, they were much more professional than the first but could not completely remove caulking on my kitchen window. It is already discolored and I have to paint to cover it up on a window that should not require this maintenance; 6 The most egregious of this provider was altering a check I gave him. Upon completion of the job, I owed a balance for 2 windows. The provider kept sending me an invoice with errors and I withheld the check until the invoice was correct. When I did mail the check, I forgot to sign it. His office left me a message stating they had trouble with my check. They left a second message that the bank cashed the check but did not offer an explanation of what the ?trouble? was. I called and was told I forgot to sign the check so they wrote ?Signature Guaranteed? on the signature line. This was done without my knowledge or permission. My bank did cash it when they should not have, but it doesn?t change the fact that the provider altered that check with full intent without my permission. I did not challenge the cashing of the check but I intend to file a complaint with the appropriate state agency.

I should have known better than to proceed with this contract. The first thing she told me was how many trade people over the years have disappointed her. The second thing was that she worked in law enforcement for decades and saw the worst in everyone as a result. We tried very hard to please her. I am the owner, and I personally visited her 3 times to see if we could satisfy her. I admit there was a factory error on 2 windows which had to be re-ordered. These were re-installed as quickly as possible. The mess in her basement was there before we started (she apologized repeatedly about it) and we used the spray foam to match other windows she had installed by another contractor. We added new woodwork to really dress the basement windows. We also extended a discount to her for the inconvenience and we cleaned up everything on our final visit. After the final installation, she said she was happy and would post a favorable review. She did give us the final payment by check, which she forgot to sign and we had a great deal of difficulty communicating with her, as she told me she does not pick up her phone. She asked that we leave messages and would call back. In retrospect, I am not sure anyone would have been able to please her. I think the dozen's of "A" ratings we received speak volumes about how we conduct our business. You just can't please all the people all the time.

The installers did an excellent job, which took the better part of one day. The windows required a lot of fitting on both the interior and exterior walls. These windows had to meet the exact requirements of our condo association, which limited our options when choosing a window style. The installation was more complex than a typical window install. One of the company's owners answered all our questions and personally came back to inspect the final work.

I just tell you already and I think that is your part to do the further search about not response to my phone call to tell me to take or refuse to take the deal or not. It is business they can refuse to the deal or not. No response or not answer the phone is not the strategy to the customers.

As [member name removed] indicated, we did not provide her with any services. She purchased a 5 window offer, but after a site visit to discuss the project, she insisted the offer included the colonial grilles at no additional charge. I tried to explain to her that grilles are an option and are available at additional cost, since many people do not want them. She then called Angie's list and was told the same thing by the Angie's list concierge. There was definitely a communication issue, so I am not sure she understood what was being discussed. We respectfully asked Angie's concierge to call her and promptly refund her purchase, which they did within 48 hours.

We are having 2 new doors put in and they will fix a window frame damaged from water rot. I would recommend them to everyone. John and his team are the best.
