"Brian found a creative way to install a portable air conditioner exhaust vent on a crank window by using a piece of Lexan, cutting a hole the size and shape of the vent and installing that in the window. It looks better than the original insert and works well with the crank window and I now have air-conditioning! He also replaced a screen while here. I have had him do multiple jobs over the years and he is always, exacting, creative, does a good job and cleans up afterwards."
"I contacted Scott Harlow through Angi and I couldnâ t be more pleased with his work. Scott removed the old film on 15 of my sunroom windows and replaced it with new UV and heat retardant film. The windows look fantastic. Not only is Scottâ s work excellent, but he is also very pleasant, prompt and a true expert at his craft. I recommend him highly and without reservation."
"I have to say that Matt, Dave and Rich were amazing! They were professional, friendly and cleaned up after themselves! I will tell anyone I know looking for windows to call Rite Window for sure. Happy customer Darlene"
"The installers were great. The salesperson made promises that he did not keep and he missed a window. When the person came to measure he also didn’t catch that I was having all my windows done except one. The windows look great. The response when I notified the co that one window was missed was very fast but added to my cost."
"Charles is a terrific handy man. He worked very hard trying to complete my issues. He is a person that just does not give up until the job is done! I will be recommending him to all my friends."
"Everyone from the Sales rep, project manager, site manager and installers were very professional. The installers showed up on time and worked late each day. They cleaned up each night and at the end of the project. The project manager kept in contact with us everyday and showed up to go over daily progress. Very happy with the outcome of my siding and roofing project. Would definitely use Capital Construction in the future if needed."
