"The sales staff was simply amazing, and the contractors were customer friendly. I stand by their work as I am a contractor myself. There is no other company I would call or recommend for windows or siding. The best for quality, price, and caring contractors."
"OMG, WILL NEVER call another contractor for a bid in Window World's area of expertise! Last week, as I was coming home from vacation, in traffic near Chicago, I received a call wanting to schedule an install date. I agreed that the following Monday would be fine. Requested an expected arrival time. was told between 8 & 9 a.m. I HAD to leave at 9:45 a.m. and did so.No-one had arrived to start siding. I put it off to bad weather. Didn't arrive home until mid-afternoon Monday. I found my 3 story home stripped of the old steel & vinyl siding AND nearly completely clad in the new insulation! The man running the crew came to my door asking if there was somewhere safe he could leave their tools etc. I was able to give them half my garage. The crew arrived shortly after 7 am.Tues. Worked until 7 pm. NON-stop! Then on Wednesday LESS THAN 3 days from starting job!!!) This crew had COMPLETED the job & was cleaning up & reloading their truck! The field supervisor was dumbfounded! The head of the crew even taught him a couple of things about siding, to make the job better with NO extra cost to homeowner! THANK YOU ANGIE'S LIST! Not only did you save us thousands of dollars, but I got a top notch crew out of it! Those men on the crew were such hard-workers and so polite! I am thankful, Window World of East Peoria, was able to access and use this crew! Shoot, I'd hire the crew again if they did more than siding!"

"We are extremely happy with how our new windows and new front door turned out. After some unexpected challenges with the way our home was built, our installation crew quickly and efficiently adapted to make sure our windows and door were installed with expert care. Every time we see our new beautiful picture window we are left breathless! And our beautiful front door is the perfect upgrade for the look of our home. Thank you RBA!"

"Very happy with the job E squared construction did replacing the porch. Matt kept me informed every step of the way. I will definitely call him again!!"
"I bought an Anglie's List deal to have one room painted for $99. It turned out that the deal included only the walls, not the ceiling and trim although that was not mentioned in the ad for the deal. When I pointed that out to AOM, they agreed to include the trim. They also agreed to paint an exterior door at no additional cost. I paid extra for them to paint the ceiling for which they supplied the paint. I had consulted with them prior to 10/2 about the other paint, which I had purchased in advance. The two men who did the work were prompt and meticulous. There was a slight problem with the finish on the door which they corrected a few days later. "

Installing a basement window generally takes a few hours, assuming there are no structural issues you need to resolve first.

Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs.
