"[Member named removed] was remodeling a rental property and asked me for the least expensive sliding glass door we install. I quoted him for an aluminum sliding glass door and 2 exterior doors for the utility rooms. I explained to [member name removed] that a standard door is 81" tall and his doors were 76" meaning the doors would have to be cut down at the factory to a custom size. I also explained to [member name removed] that the fiberglass doors were not going to rot out in 5 years and were higher quality than the ones from the box stores. [Member name removed] signed a contract with me that day, without asking for other brands or a negotiation of price. I did not pressure [member name removed] or offer him a discount to sign that day. The total contract was for $2125 for the 3 doors which is about $700 per door installed. [Member name removed] called 2 days after signing the contract upset with the cost of the exterior doors. He asked me to cancel the 2 exterior doors from the order but still wanted the sliding glass door installed. Since the cost of the sliding glass door was lower than the original deposit [member name removed] had put down, he was to receive a refund for the difference in cost. I told him at that time the SGD would be $750 and I would send a check for the difference between the sliding glass door and the deposit with the installer when we put in the sliding glass door. On the day of the installation, I forgot to give the check to our installer. Our installer informed [member name removed] of my mistake, and told him that I mailed [member name removed] the check. The check was sent out July 21 and it was cashed July 31. I have a copy of the check from my bank. We have never kept a deposit from a customer in 23 years. We have never had a complaint from the BBB in 23 years. West Coast Windows would not have enjoyed such a long existence if we were not competitive in pricing. Since we service products after installation we work with companies that have a proven track record of quality. We may pay more for our product, but this is because we have found that our products have a greater longevity and overall make our customers satisfied. I'm sorry that I didn't do a better job explaining this to [member name removed], and wish him the best of luck with all other renovations. Dave Dollbaum Owner WCW"
You then receive a phone call for an installation date. They are professional and personable. It only took them 30 minutes from start to finish to install my shutters in the office. They are such a breath of fresh air with their product and service!
The first stage of measuring and quoting was done quickly and professionally. They gave us some unique designs on some of our large windows. The pricing was very competitive.
The windows were ordered, delivered, and installed exactly as originally scheduled.
The installers did an excellent job removing the old windows and installing the new. They left each area as clean as when they started. The new windows were installed with no damage to the existing stucco. Very little paint touch-up was required when they finished.
Overall we are very satisfied with our new windows
From start to finish, Dave and his crew met every expectation, answered every question, showed up everytime on time ready to go....just great.
Dave personally came out to the house multiple times before we signed a contract, took the time to show and explain things initially to me, and then to my wife...bringing examples and information to help us understand the products and the process. I researched their products (in this case Vi-Wintech doors and windows) against the others....and balanced products and prices.
In some cases people are concerned going with the and quot;lowest bidderand quot;....because you and quot;get what you pay forand quot;. For this one, that definitely WASNT THE CASE. We did a lot of research to try to differentiate out who's product was better using the industry / government specs....all together...the differences were negligible between all the offerings of the products. In the end....our decision was made on what the products looked like, operated like...My wife REALLY liked the doors....and most importantly the way we were treated by Dave and West Coast.
There was a little delivery delay because of the time of the year (around the holidays), Dave kept me up to date, working with me to alter installation timelines because of my job, and other items that were wrapped with the installation.
The installation crew from West Coast was awesome....always on time, always professional. They answered all my questions during the installation and took time to show me things when necessary. The work itself was surprisingly low impact on our daily routine. The whole installation took 3 days, about 7-8 hours a day. All the doors went in on one day, and the windows took two more. Very little damage to the surrounding stucco / plaster.....so minimal touch up work after the fact......AWESOME.
The installers brought to our attention a few small defects in the doors after they installed them....and immediately ordered replacement parts to correct...I didnt have to badger them or anything. The parts came in a week or so later and a factory tech came out and put them in....no issues.
Dave came out personally to look at the work, finish up paperwork and payment, and provided me all the paperwork (already filled out) to submit for the appropriate rebates from the energy company and government. Going above and beyond, West Coast was able to help out with additional paperwork and details to document the work since I was rolling some of the cost in with a home refi.
Again...great job, and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend these guys to family and friends (matter of fact, I already have).
