"From start to finish, Steve was a dream to work with. First, he educated us on the different kinds of films to put on our new windows. He left us with three different patches of film on our window for a week so we can make a decision based on what kind of light and how it looks with different weather patterns. During the installation process Steve was a professional. Explained the entire process step by step. He was efficient, kind, and informative. His price was fair, his work and performance were off the charts, and above all, he was just a great guy. We are grateful we found him and our new home looks better than before!"
"We have been using AAA for years. They have yet to provide anything other than superb service. They remind me of our twice-yearly "order" for cleaning, and are responsive when I ask for off-cycle cleaning. The arrive promptly on the scheduled day. The team chief is invariably polite. They ask whether to leave screens or storms down. Those who come inside the house remove their shoes without being asked. Those working outside are careful with their ladders and feet not to damage the gardens. Whatever they use for cleaning, it leaves behind absolutely no odor or residue. And when they are done, the windows do indeed sparkle."
"I would highly recommend this company! I have an older home and they repaired all of my original double hung windows. Each window had different issues I contacted them and they came and did an estimate for the work. They also explained exactly what work would be done. They were very thorough and transparent. They did the estimate in the fall and the work was scheduled in the spring. They came on the date that was scheduled, amazing! They were extremely reliable, and showed up for all work as scheduled.They did beautiful work. It is such a pleasure to be able to open all my windows!. The business is very well run, very professional. From the lovely woman in the office to the gentlemen that came to work at the house, they were all terrific. I can't say enough about this company and the quality of their work. I feel the pricing was fair for the job and workmanship."
"Arlmont Glass replaced a broken living room window for me. First of all they will come to your home for a free estimate. Then will email the invoice for the job. Then you schedule the work. Three simple steps, everyone is polite and wonderful to do business with. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone or to use them again as my home has aging windows. Thank you for a job well done."
"Excellent workmanship and products I have had three installations with Power in the past two years. I first used them for a new roof and gutters. The workers were all knowledgeable in their area of work. Clean up was good although some nails kept showing up over time. Next I had the 2nd floor windows and some 1st floor windows replaced, 9 in total. Installation went well and they cleaned up beautifully afterwards. I love the windows! They are a beautiful and energy efficient product. Lastly, I recently had a bay window replaced in my kitchen with the same type window. The workers ere all friendly and explained what would be done. The area was draped with plastic to cut down on dust. Clean up was excellent inside and outside! The window is beautiful and the framing on the outside of the window matches the other windows and the small roof above the bay window was replaced with the same roofing as the rest of the house. I would choose them again for any future projects."
"My windows are sparkling clean. They just finished cleaning my windows for the third time. I LOVE these guys. They are friendly, prompt, and do excellent work. Their prices are completely fair,. I highly recommend them."
"Juan washed the outside of our windows. He worked quickly, efficiently, and quietly, not needing anything from me. I have done my own windows for years and never got them looking so spotless."
"Replaced a cracked window pane. Company was professional and had strong communication and a fair price. Super happy with them! Technician was the NICEST!"
Window maintenance in Boston is crucial due to the city’s freeze-thaw cycles and coastal weather. Inspect caulking and weatherstripping each spring to prevent drafts, and lubricate hardware before winter. After storms or nor’easters, check for water intrusion and damaged seals. Homes near the harbor should watch for salt buildup, which can affect window frames and glass, so regular cleaning is especially important in those areas.
