It went fine once they finally arrived to install the window. It was only supposed to have taken three weeks for the installation, but it was at least a couple months.

Description of Work: I'd like to prefix this was saying I really don't think most of what follows is really a reflection on Gary and his workers at Windowerks. I think most of the issues I had had to do with the order placement with the factory. I know the windows finally installed match exactly what was on my original invoice but I don't know how 5 out of over 20 windows shipped from the factory were wrong. (Right window dimensions but wrong panes) | |I ordered the windows last October 2014 and due to time of year was told up front that delivery of the windows from the factory would be several weeks and installation would take 3 days. Due to my schedule and theirs we settled on an install date of Nov 17th, 2014. The Windows arrived and they began installation and it was completed in three days. However several of the windows were not correct and they told me they would have to reorder the windows (note this was just the panes not the entire window). The replacement window panes arrived in December and were installed but some of them were still wrong so they had to order them again. When they arrived mid January this year they were ok but I noticed that another window was incorrect and this too had to be reordered. When it arrived they called and told me that it had arrived damaged from the factory and had to be re-ordered. The correct undamaged window finally arrived and was installed mid Feb unfortunately the interior installation was not done correctly and I had to have them out to redo that. They were always prompt and professional and went out of their way to correct any issues, some that I saw but most were ones that they saw and told me about. | |For the most part the experience was OK just didn't expect it to take 4 months to get all the windows installed. | |

The guy was not really high pressure, unlike a lot of people peddling windows. They tend to try to pressure you into these good for the next 10 minute prices. I preferred the window I chose, to what they had to offer. The price was the second best that I got. They accommodated my needs.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from them.

Description of Work: They told me my order would be in in 7 days no later than 10 . It took over. 6 weeks for the order to come in and the 2 side windows came in 2 weeks of each other. When I complained the lady that worked there told me she worked 12-13 hour days and did not have to put up with my complaints! Really I am a RN and also put in long hours but am expected to give excellent customer service. At the end they did offer to put the one window in but since I had someone else install the first I wanted them to look the same. Horrible experience during the first 2-4 weeks no phone calls poor follow up I had to call and check on my order.

There are very few times in my life when dealing with house projects that I look back and say it could not have gone better; with Windowerks and my dealings with Mr. Gary Carpenter and all the crew there; I can say this is one of those events. From first contact to last hand shake Windowerks performed on time, on budget and wih a degree of professionalism I rarely find. Mr. Gary Carpenter was available and responsive to any questions and did not hesitate to come on site to help me through the process. Their attention to my project and questions made me feel as if I was a family member they were helping. A rare find in these fast paced days. in closing thank you Gary and all those at Windowerks that helped bring such a durable and beautiful product into my home. The beauty and the improvement it has brought to my home will be something I and my family will enjoy for decades.

This stretched out over several months and was a very frustrating experience. There were way too many stories, excuses, and delays. Be cautious and get everything in writing.
Description of Work: The task was to replace 1 broken window glass and numerous screens on the home. It took 3 service calls to replace the 1 small piece of glass and 2 to get screens that fit properly.

Serviceman was prompt. Arrived exactly when he said he would. The repair was done quickly and I couldn't be happier with the service. Sheila, the scheduling person, was on top of everything. Job well done!

They came out immediately, took the measurements, and repaired it. I used to work for them years ago. The experience was perfect. They were responsive and reasonable. They were prepared. I will use them again in the future.

I did a lot of research online and on foot before contracting with Gary Carpenter. My primary objective was to qualify for the $1500 Federal Energy Tax Credit. During my research, I quickly learned that the installation was just as important, if not more so, than the windows selected. With Austin Windowerks, I got both - great windows and professional installation. First, Gary came to my house to take a look at the job and give me a rough estimate. He left several sample windows to help me decide on the window type and color. After deciding on Burris TectView AC windows, Gary and Jeff, the installer, came out to measure. After receiving a formal bid and paying a deposit, the windows were ordered. They arrived about 4 weeks later. Prior to installation of the new windows, my husband and I moved all furniture to clear a 3 foot radius of the existing windows. We also removed all window treatments. Jeff and his crew of two installed 12 windows and 2 sets of sliding doors in about two and a half days. At the end of each work day, the old windows and any debris were hauled off. Our 1974 year old house has mainly a limestone exterior with some masonry. Jeff did an excellent job trimming out the windows in both cases. The exterior mortar application is seamless with the rest of the house. At my request, Gary agreed to reinstall solar screens on two of our windows that have taken golf ball hits in the past. Since screwing the screens into the windows would void the warranty, he devised a way to install them with brackets leaving a slight gap away from the windows so the golf balls will bounce off. About a week after the job was finished, the City of Austin inspector came out to take a look at the job. No problems since Gary ensured all residential egress requirements were met upfront. Austin Windowerks has been in business for many years. Gary knows his product and does not cut corners. He made sure I was completely satisfied. When I paid the balance due, he provided a folder with complete documentation on the windows. It included warranty information and the documents I’ll need to apply for the Federal Energy Tax Credit. I would highly recommend this company for window replacement.
Description of Work: Austin Windowerks installed 12 vinyl replacement windows and 2 sets of sliding glass doors in our house.

I had them replace all of the windows in my late 1970's home and transform one sliding door into beautiful French doors. They did all the work really fast. They are very precise and overall the company is good to work with.
Description of Work: Austin Windowerks removed, prepped and replaced four 6 x 3 foot windows and five 8 x 7 foot windows. They also removed a sliding glass door and put a new French door in its place.
