Steve in the service department helped me locate a part that none of the retail stores had. He was professional and courteous and called me back each time I called. I was running a bit late and they left the package out side for me to pickup after hours. My faith in humanity was restored. Complete class act. This is my first stop for all my new windows and doors. Great people.

I ordered a solid-core replacement door for my powder room. Their selection is great and the service was wonderful. I would definitely recommend them.

This company has the worst customer service and work ethic I have ever experienced. When I moved into my newly constructed condo, there was a piece missing to open the window. They scheduled more than 8 appointments to solve this issue, including bringing the wrong piece more than three times and eventually breaking the existing window frame to install it. At one point, they brought a white piece for a black window.

I'm still waiting for a fully functioning window after almost 2 years of moving into my place. When I erred my frustrations for the first time directly, I was told my complaint was unproductive and unnecessary. Still waiting. Do not recommend this company if you want competent workers and friendly customer service.

I have 10 year old wood JeldWen windows. Almost every window has the weather striping falling off and several windows have wood rot. When I called last year asking if they can take a look at them, I was told I'd have to pay a fee to have them come out and then if they were to replace them I might get a little taken off the price since we are previous customers. Several windows were installed with large gaps that they filled with silicone. This isn't how you do business.

Terrible customer service. This company came out to measure several windows in my 5 unit building. They provided a quote within a few days but the quote didn't break out the needs by unit as requested. After calling and asking for that to be done, strange things began to occur. After 3 more calls asking their team to follow up - which was met with enthusiastic "yes, so sorry, I'll talk to the manager and them call you" resulted in no follow ups at all. They seem to be a messy business. Suggest looking into Semko Windows for your repair replacement needs. They were prompt, clear and consistent in service.
