We were very happy with this company. Dave was very professional and explained the process for a window makeover very well. He kept in touch with us on where we were on the schedule to have the work done. They saved us money by not having to replace our windows. We have wooden windows, which they replaced the rotted out wood. The men that came out to do the work were very professional. The company has a good process for fixing your windows. We highly recommend Window Makeover.

The seal between the panes of glass in my picture window broke, allowing a film to form inside my windows. I contacted the window manufacturer to find out how to make a warranty claim, and they responded by letting me know that they had shipped the glass to the original distributor. I needed to find someone to pick up the glass and replace the old window. I tried several companies listed on Angie's List, but while they were happy to replace the whole window, they wouldn't just replace the glass. I also tried a few other companies that specialized in glass replacement, but they wouldn't even return my calls. Fortunately, Window Makeover was happy to help me. The cost was much higher than I'd been expecting, given that I'd had a glass in a casement window replaced the year before - the cost of labor alone with Window Makeover was nearly double what parts and labor had cost for the previous job. However, Window Makeover was the only company I could find that was willing and able to do the job, so I went with them. Brett, the estimator, seems to have been pretty slow in getting my work started. I accepted their bid on May 1 (a Thursday), and he didn't run the credit card for the deposit until Monday. The following Friday, I finally called them back to find out when they could schedule a time (Brett had promised they would call me early in the week), and the guy I spoke with said he had just received the paperwork that morning. Other than that, things went smoothly. Bob and Pedro showed up on the 15th, at exactly the time they promised, and got the work done in about an hour and a half. It looks great, the guys were really professional and friendly, and I'd use them again if I had to.
Description of Work: I needed a replacement plate of glass for a picture window to be picked up from the distributor and to have it installed.

From the first visit to inspect the job every person was very friendly and professional. I was updated frequently regarding the progress of fabricating my window parts. The installers were easy to have in the house and respectful of our home. They left it looking just as it was when they arrived. I like that whenever possible old wood part were replaced with aluminum clad parts.

Description of Work: Window Makeover replaced a window for us. It was in an awkward place, second story above an outdoor pond. Dave Custer was prompt, courteous, did a good job, and cleaned everything before he left. I don't know how he perched over the pond and handled that window, but he did it very professionally. I would recommend this company highly!

I decided to get estimates on repair of my 15 year old vinyl windows. Several no longer stayed up, and were misaligned. Window MakeOver provided me an estimate, and a week or so later, came out to measure and order replacement parts. While the time to get the specific parts for these windows took some time, a short time after parts were received I now have perfectly functioning windows again. Kevin arrived on time, was very pleasant and professional, and once the repairs were complete, made sure I was happy with the work, taking time to have me try each window before he left. I'm quite happy with the work received by Window Makeover and Kevin.

It went from bad to worse. The receptionist knows my voice since I call so much. I'm just trying to get an old wooden window repaired before someone or something crawls into it.
Description of Work: Jeff, whom I believe to be a salesman, came out to assess my situation. I have a broken window and several wood windows I was interested in upgrading. Jeff arrived late, without calling to alert me of his tardiness. he looked at my windows, and gave me some loose pricing; apparently estimating higher than his boss would've, since he called and was surprised that his boss was going to charge a reasonable amount to fix my broken window. I was told that he needed to come back that Friday with Bobby, the person who was actually capable of fixing my windows for a real price quote. I was slightly irritated that I got a salesman when I had an immediate service issue, but was at their mercy. Weeks later, neither Jeff or Bobby have come to repair my window. Nor do I have a realistic quote on anything.

LOVE MY NEW WINDOWS!! Owner Craig Harrell and his Tech Team Dave, Pedro, Don and Brian did a fantastic job replacing my windows and back storm door. They were all pleasant and fun to work with. Dave was especially fun to work with and really cared about what I wanted done and he kept telling me he had my back! When I saw something I didn't think was right he would correct it or explain to me why it was done that way. I learned quite a lot from the whole crew! Craig showed up to the job everyday they were here and did a lot of the work himself. All the guys took their shoes off at the door whenever they entered my house which I really appreciated. They went over and above my expectations and when I asked them to replace all the interior trim so I could stain the interior to match my bay and garden window they were very eager to please me. My new windows are beautiful and will never rot again. They do the outside trim in a PVC composite material that looks and feels like real wood and will never rot. All my windows are double pane with double locks and tilt in for cleaning and very well insulated and sealed. Dave and Don even rehung my house numbers and mailbox for me and all the guys always cleaned up after themselves! If you need new windows Window Makeover is the company to go with they offer a fair price and excellent service! THANK YOU Window Makeover! Roberta K.

Overall I am very happy with the work performed. The only thing that was not great was some communication after the deposit. Despite being assigned a project manager, I found myself reaching out for updates and they made a decision to make a slight change and that was never communicated to me until I saw the amount I owed at the end of the job was different. The change ended up being a great deal for me, so I'm not complaining too much, but if it was not a great deal our conversation would have gone much differently. Brett came out and did a very thorough job with the estimating. He was also helpful answering questions before the sale. We went thru multiple iterations of the quote since this was a large job and I was managing a budget that includes other things I need done to the house this year. He was very patient thru all of that. The crew that came out, led by Eric, was fantastic. They were very courteous, took steps to minimize the mess inside, took their shoes off on my hardwood floor, and worked very efficiently overall. They really went above and beyond in getting the job done, amazingly all in one day. They even took the time to look at another window I forgot to point out to Brett that wasn't closing correctly, which I thought may have a frame problem and need to be repaired, They were able to make a quick fix in 10 mins using a piece they had removed from one of the rebuilt windows and I probably won't need to rebuild that for another few years. As additional windows need rebuilding probably in 5 years, I will be calling Window Makeover for sure. I easily saved 50% over the cost of complete replacement.

We had had a couple of appointments scheduled that were cancelled due to rain. At one of them, the workers dropped off the replacement windows so I could stain them ahead of installation. We were not expecting them to work on a Saturday, but they called and asked if they could some. About noon, 6 workers came, including one of the company owners, and got right to work, removing the old windows and the rotting wood around them. By 5:30 they were done, and had helped replace the furniture that had had to be moved to accommodate their work, and doing a clean-up that was probably better than I could have done. This team moved like a well choreographed ballet, were extremely pleasant and courteous, and seemed to enjoy working together. In chatting with the owner during his time here, he mentioned that they try very hard "to do what is right for the customer." We chose Window Makeover after reading about them on Angie's List; they had first been recommended by Bone Dry Roofing, with whom we have worked for years. After totally replacing these same windows twice in 28 years due to rotting wood frames, they offered a more economical and permanent way to solve the problem: by removing only what needed to be removed, and replacing those parts with synthetic materials. The hardware was removed from the old windows and put on the new windows, saving money, and since the old screens fit, they also did not need to be replaced. No interior work needed to be done, again saving us money. We could not at this point, afford the total package of what needed to be done, and chose to do the most critical first. I will look forward to working with them again next year when we have the rest of the windows that need repair taken care of.
Description of Work: The company first came to assess our needed window replacement due to rotting wood on the frames. On 8/17, 6 workers (including one of the company owners) came to replace 8 windows.

I called Brett directly and left a message sometime before July 4 to arrange an appointment. Brett responded promptly, and told me that he was tied up until July 14, would I like a coworker to call me. I said yes, and no one called. I was gone most of the week of 7/14. I believe July 14 I called the main office and a lady made arrangements for Brett to see our window on July 22 at 9AM. He called at 8:30 AM and left a message saying he was unable to make it at Noon as was scheduled, but could we arrange another time.Instead of returning his call I called the office to see if I was mistaken regarding the time. The lady referred me to Dave, the scheduler. I called him and left a message. Soon after I left the message Brett called and apologized, and wanted to reschedule. By this time, I was tired of trying to meet with them, and informed him I wasnt interested in making an appointment. Dave called later in the day to see why I chose not to make an appointment.

First of all the guy said he will be able to make it on one day then he didn’t make it till the next day. Then he doesn’t call me back until the next day to say he couldn’t make it. Once he set an appointment he shows up an hour and half earlier. He wakes up my daughter coming out. Subsequently my parents were there. My dad actually broke his foot trying to get up quickly when he was ringing the doorbell. I am pretty angry with them. We set an appointment for Thursday. My parents watch my daughter. The gentleman was scheduled for 3 o’clock and he showed up at 1:15 on that Thursday. He rang the bell and he woke up my daughter in her nap. Subsequently my dad was trying to get up to catch the door. He broke his foot when he got up. Then the guy ended up giving a quote. He was rushed and he really didn’t go into much detail. To be honest, he acted like he really gave a damn. His name was Bret who was giving the estimate. I think they quoted $780 which seemed a bit high to me. The disclaimer on the back of their estimate says they don’t cover any broken glass. Anything that might happen while they are doing their work, they won’t cover it. If they happen to break another pane they would replace only a few and they wouldn’t cover it. It was double pane windows so it wasn’t energy efficient type of windows. It seemed pricey and there were too many loopholes in their disclaimers.
Description of Work: We have a bay window and a front window. Window Makeover was giving us a quote on replacing the panes in our windows instead of switching out the whole windows.
