"We started a siding and windows job on our home in early 2024. $100k later, the job is still incomplete and it’s impossible to get them to actually follow through on their commitment to finish the job. Never mind the fact that now the windows are leaking and to them, it’s clearly no big deal because I notified them on April 1st and Will, their General Manager, said that someone would be out to check it out and I haven’t heard from anyone since. I’ve emailed the owner to no avail and in the beginning was told by their Sales person, Heather, that customer service is “their thing.” Yeah right, they got what they wanted out of us and that was it. I’ve tried to be patient but at the point, I’m over it. This is terrible customer service to say the least. They talk a big game in the beginning but just be cautious, they don’t care as much as they say they do."

Lipton Window and Door is a hand selected group of craftsman that are dedicated to making your window and door project an enjoyable experience. Our company started as an installation company that serviced all of the Tampa Bay /St Petersburg area. We eventually found the best Manufacturers to work with to supply our customers with the most energy efficient product that can withstand the harsh elements Florida has to offer. Lipton Window and Door was founded on old school principles that were handed down from past generations. We do what we say when we say we will do it. Our installers are being trained constantly on the newest installation techniques and changes in the ever evolving products that we supply which insures a quality job every time. Whether you are looking for a Door ,or Windows for your home,Condo,or Townhouse our sales staff will help you pick the perfect product to beautify your home while making it stronger ,safer and more energy efficient. We buy from the nations best manufacturers to ensure the lowest pricing available without sacrificing quality.

"Do NOT use Lipton windows! It took 7 months and 4 return visits just to replace 3 windows in my home. Here's how it went... I met with the salesman in Nov '18, then decided to purchase 3 windows, luckily, rather than do the whole house, in Dec '18. PGT manufactured the windows and that took about 6-8 weeks. The first visit, Lipton sent a subcontracted crew, not a single one was a Lipton employee, to install the windows. They did a pretty shoddy job, but good enough I suppose, for the cheapest bid. When they were finished, I noticed a crack in one of the windows. (I suggest inspecting your windows very carefully, because workers will not!) Of course, they blamed PGT, the manufacturer, and sent pictures to Lipton. A new window was ordered, and 5 weeks later, trip number 2. This time, an actual Lipton employee came out and installed window number 2. Upon my inspection, I found a 5 inch scratch on the window. They again blamed PGT. A new window was ordered, and 5 weeks later, trip number 3. Again a Lipton employee was sent out, and attempted to install window number 3, but it was the wrong size! A new window was ordered, and 5 weeks later, trip number 4. This time, at my request and after discussions with the owner of Lipton, a PGT employee came to install the 4th window. Let me make note of the discernible differences in professionalism between the Lipton employees/contractors and the PGT employee; a world apart. This time, the window wasn't damaged, and the installation went perfectly. The PGT employee took extra time to clean the excess caulk and put finishing touches on the aesthetics of the job, both of which I was told previously by the Lipton employees couldn't be done except on a return visit. Not only did they lie about that, but on one occasion a Lipton employee tried to show me how to clean the excess caulk so I could do it myself! Awful. Every time I told the company about the terrible experiences with their employees, their response was that they no longer work for them. Throughout this extended process, all communication with Lipton was initiated by me, including all follow up calls and scheduling. My fault for taking the cheapest bid. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra bucks to avoid a prolonged and annoying experience of getting windows replaced. The only reason I didn't rate an F was because in the end, I do have 3 windows hanging. The icing on top was when the salesman called me afterwards to try and sell me more windows! He had no idea what I had gone through, and when I explained, he offered me 50 bucks off a window. No thanks! I do NOT recommend using Lipton windows for anything."

"My husband and I chose Mr. Build to install a new front door for our home. The salesman was great, we gave our deposit, they took the final measurements and we waited for the door to be installed. We were told the door would need to be modified to fit our home by the manufacturer and it could take a little longer, which was fine. We were surprised when it arrived early for installation and were happy to schedule. Unfortunately, the door had not been modified at the manufacturer and the installer did the modifications on-site, including cutting our foundation and “shaving” the top of the door which left it uneven. He also cut into our new flooring and left a large gap between the threshold and floor which he tried to fill with silicone. We had them return to inspect the work and had to reschedule someone to now place a new threshold transition and also attempt to fix the window moldings. A couple weeks go by and then we start to see gaps of light between the side of the door and the frame from the inside. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to fix the issue and being told it was a tech's last day and he “tried to make it work” we still have the same problems. I've asked what our options were since they aren’t fixing the problems and claim they will “make it right” but the issues are never fixed. I was told by Melanie we would not receive any amount of a refund and they will not pay for another door. Needless to say, after months of dealing with this we are extremely frustrated, beyond tired of the excuses, poor workmanship, and lack of accountability. To spend $3000 to have damage done to our foundation, new flooring, and having light, heat, and outside air coming through the door frame is ridiculous in Florida. We were better off with our previous $200 door from Home Depot."

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts

Fire doors are more expensive than your run-of-the-mill residential composite door because of additional materials and expanding sealants that help the door slow down or even prevent the spread of temperatures over 1,000 degrees. If you have homeowners insurance, talk to your company and see if installing fire doors can lower your premiums, especially if you can install steel doors.

You can use wood, metal, or plastic as a door shim, but keep in mind that wood will rot easier than the other two materials. Your local hardware store should have at least one type in stock. Alternatively, you can trim a piece of cardboard to fit underneath your door hinge and work as a temporary, makeshift door shim.

A front door lasts between 20 and 100 years, or an average of 30 years. How long it lasts depends on the type of material, the environment, and how well you maintain it. A door with coverage over it will last longer than one exposed to the elements. Using high-quality paint or sealants can also help extend the life of your front door. Wood front doors tend to have shorter lifespans than other materials.

Solid wood is a durable and attractive option for cabinet doors that holds up well against a small amount of moisture. However, solid wood doors will expand and contract, meaning upkeep will be necessary if painted. Particleboard with veneer cabinet doors are cost-effective and can be attractive. MDF cabinet doors offer excellent and predictable workability features. However, both of those options are vulnerable to damage if water finds its way through the veneer or paint finish. 

Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
