After receiving a very competitive bid from George, our project was put on hold primarily because of some other renovation priorities. Over the course of 1 1/2 years George helped us consider other window solution alternatives, brought out samples, provided design advice, and let me know that whenever we were ready to move forward to just give him a call.
When we were ready to move forward with the windows, George returned again to make sure we were comfortable with the window accessories, and reviewed our paperwork and measurements that were taken a year and a half ago. The windows arrived in timely manner and our appointment was set-up as we were promised. The installers were amazing and did a fantastic job to say the least. To give you some context, we had a contractor tell us that we would have to rebuild every window in order to "make it work" in the framing. This rebuild would've cost us over $30,000! Avery, miraculously installed our windows without rebuilding anything. I feel like we live in a new home already and we haven't replace all our windows yet.
The beauty of working with Masterpiece Windows is that they truly care about their customers. it's not just about a sale, unlike most window estimators that make their pitch. You never feel pressure to buy anything and that's an important consideration when you're choosing a window company. George and the entire Masterpiece Windows team do a top-notch job. There's no doubt that they will be my go-to company for future window and door projects.
"Hi [Member name removed], Thank you for the wonderful review. What an amazing change your new windows made to your home. I always love reading about Avery our master installer. He is the best I've ever seen. Every single customer raves about how happy they are with his perfect installations. He make us all shine here at Masterpiece. You are very special customers to me. I'm so glad you chose us and look forward to working with you both on the next phase. George Masterpiece Windows 919 623-9934"
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed] Thank you for your review. Your doors came out fantastic. What a beautiful change it made to the front of your house. I appreciate you both very much. George Masterpiece Windows 919 590-9938"
"Holy Smokes! What a great review. Thank you for your kind words. That Avery really is a great installer isn't he? Every single customer raves about his craftsmanship and attention to detail. He makes all of us shine at Masterpiece and we appreciate him greatly, but its you, our customer that makes it all happen. You are why we are in business and are doing so well. Thank you so much, you are awesome! George"
It went very smoothly. After we decided which windows we were going to replace, we gave him a deposit, he ordered the windows and when the windows came in, he scheduled the install. Avery and his partner did an excellent job installing the windows. While installing the windows, Avery noticed some wood rot and replaced the wood rot with PVC prior to the installation of the window(s). Excellent work!
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Thanks for taking the time to write your review. You have no idea how helpful it is when people are searching for window companies on Angie's list and read your review. Even your neighbors gave us a great review because they also bought windows from us and were excited to tell you all the great things they experienced with Masterpiece. Our reputation is very important to us. Did you know we were just awarded the BBB ethics award? That's right we also received one of the Town of Cary small business awards as well. But the most rewarding trophy to us is our loyal customers like you. Thank you again for choosing Masterpiece. It is a privilege to serve you. George"
"Thank you for the positive review you gave about us on Angie's List, we really appreciate it."
George, the owner and salesman, came out and showed us the Simonton windows that he offers. He was very professional and took great care to be punctual. During his presentation, he took time to answer all of our questions, and ultimately worked with us to purchase through a special that was running on Angie's list to help increase our savings. He gave us suggestions on ways we could lower the cost without compromising on the finished product (for example, only putting grids on the windows that face the front of the house). He explained exactly when we could expect the windows to be ordered, and let us know right up front that he would call to schedule the installation once the windows had been manufactured and delivered.
Fast forward 10 days. George called to schedule the installation, and his installer, Avery, just so happened to have an opening the following weekend at 8am. Avery called me that morning, and asked if it would be ok if they were a little later. That was the weekend we'd had a significant amount of ice and snow and some of his crew were coming a little further in the weather. He offered to send a member of his crew out ahead of the others if I had somewhere to be. The total delay was merely 30 minutes, and given the weather, that was impressive in an of itself.
Avery and crew were very professional and considerate. They laid down tarps to protect our floors from the ice and snow, removed pictures hanging on the walls to avoid accidentally bumping them, moved furniture out of the way, and removed blinds and window treatments. One of the other things that impressed me was that given how cold it was that day, they were kind enough to only work on one or two windows at a time, so as not to have my heater running unnecessarily. When they were finished, Avery walked me through how to operate the new window features, made sure all of the furniture that they'd moved was placed back where it belonged, and all window treatments and blinds were installed and operational. He and his crew vacuumed their way out of my house, making sure that anywhere they were was cleaned and ready to go when they left.
We are very pleased with the windows, George, and Avery, and would gladly recommend them to friends & neighbors.
"Hi Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for your kind words about Masterpiece and Avery the installer and his crew. I am very proud of them. You mentioned how they were careful with moving your furniture and removing and replacing your window treatments and blinds. As you probably know most companies will not remove blinds and draperies or move furniture and if they do its at a high cost to their customers. Avery does it for FREE. What an incredible installer he is for our customers like you, and what a wonderful customer you are for us. Thank You Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed]."
"Thank you Mr. [Member Name Removed] for you wonderful review. I appreciate everything you said about us. Let me know if you ever need us George Masterpiece Windows 919 590-9938"
"Hi Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Thank You for taking the time to say such nice things about us. Your home is so awesome. I wish people could see how beautiful it is. I agree with you, Avery, my installer and his crew did an exceptional job and the windows look perfect. The best part of the project was working with you. I know you had so much on your plate trying to orchestrate a million details all under a tight schedule, yet all through the project you seemed to have everything under control as if it were easy. I have to say I was impressed! Please let me know personally if you ever have a need with your windows. Thank You again. George Sullivan Masterpiece Windows 919 590-9938"
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed] Thank you so much for choosing Masterpiece for your window project. It was wonderful meeting you and your family. You made a mention about how well our meeting went and that there was no pressure from me. I know how I feel when I am looking for a product or service and hate it when the salesman starts the pressure tactics. Folks today just don't put up with that approach anymore and they shouldn't. We believe the product should sell itself and the testimonials of previous customers like you should be what makes the company stand out apart from the rest. Thank You very much. We are privileged to be rated on Angie's List by our customers. Angie's list is a great place to speak your mind - Good or Bad. Angie's list just prints the results you decide. Wonderful honest company. I look forward to hearing back from you when you are ready to start phase 2 George Masterpiece Windows 919 590-9938"
"Hi Mrs. [Member name], I can't thank you enough for the wonderful comments you wrote about our company. We are so happy to have you as one of our treasured customers. I know there are a lot of competitors out there all trying to do the best they can for their customers yet you chose us. To me that is like a trophy and an honor I don't take lightly. Call me if you ever need us for any reason concerning your beautiful new windows. George 919 590-9938"
Update: Just recently (09/2015), a work crew at my house damaged one of my window screens. George came to my home to retrieve the screen and take it to be repaired, at no cost! Now that's customer service!
"Hi [Removed member name] Thank you for such a wonderful review. You know, I am always pleased as can be when one of my customers talks about how thrilled they are with the windows and customer service they feel they received from us at Masterpiece. I know how difficult it must be to take that chance on a company when your in that looking stage of your project. Will their windows really save me energy? Will the installation go OK? Am I getting the best price? A lot to think about isn't it. Well, the kind words you wrote in this review helps other potential customers have a glimpse at our company which turns into a chance for us to serve them like we did the two of you. I can't thank you enough. George"
I could not be happier with the service or the windows. The first thing I noticed is that the house is a little quieter. The house is on a corner, and the noise is quite a bit less. These windows are also energy efficient. I'm already seeing a difference with the cycling on and off of my AC. I expect good things with my next bill.
I will absolutely recommend George Sullivan and his company to other people.
"Hi Mrs, Thank you for the wonderful review. You are such a wonderful customer. I know you could have chosen any number of companies but you chose us. I really appreciate it. I look forward to working together with you as you go into phase 2. George"
Masterpiece Window is one of the most professional companies I have ever dealt with. George Sullivan, owner, is the consummate professional, as is his installer, Avery, and his assistant. At every turn, these gentlemen were exemplary! Always on time, always as considerate of my home, property, furniture and possessions! Avery is a master craftsman! His measurements of my window were "spot-on". Watching him slide the window in place was like watching Prince Charming slide the glass slipper on Cinderella's foot - a PERFECT fit! When he finished, Avery meticulously cleaned up! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and only wish there was a higher rating than "A" to recommend them.
"Thank You Mrs. [Member name removed] for your wonderful review. When Masterpiece interviewed different installation crews Avery was the only one that would not consider taking shortcuts. He really is a master craftsman isn't he? When he measures he's accurate 100% of the time and there is nothing he doesn't have the skill to do. We frequently have difficult installation situations that require both skill and talent. He is very professional and a great guy to work with. But the very best part is having you as our customer. Again Thank You for choosing Masterpiece. George"
"Hi [member name removed], just saw your review. Thank you for all the nice comments. I hope you are enjoying your stairlift and the safety and freedom it gives. George Sullivan"
"Hi [Member name removed], Thank You so much for your wonderful review. I really enjoyed meeting you and your family. I look forward to getting together in the future for the next phase. George"
"Thank You [member name removed] for rating our company. I agree with your assessment concerning the installation of your three new windows into your existing bay. The job the installers were doing ahead of yours did take them longer than expected and I should have kept you informed as to the timing of your install. I continue to work at perfecting each and every step of the process and your helpful comments only make me want to tighten up my communications with my customers even more. The job turned out really nice and I am glad you thought we did a good job for you. I appreciate your input and value you as one of my wonderful customers. George"
George was certain he could beat the other estimates cost-wise, which he definitely did by about 20%. We were also delighted to not have to deal with a four-hour window for the measurements and installation. George was understanding about our scheduling issues and arrived promptly when we did settle on a time.
George is pleasant to work with, and his workers were quiet, clean and efficient. They didn't leave a mess for me to clean, which I really appreciate. The only downside was that George didn't have a photo of the door I was getting. I believe this is because my order was very standard issue. But it turned out fine. The door and windows were steel and fiberglass, a better choice than the builder's original wood window frames for the wet, rainy climate here. The front door and side light windows from Masterpiece are sturdy, waterproof, properly sealed and mushroom-free! It was a pleasure working with George and his installers. I would definitely recommend them.
"Hi [member name removed] Thank You for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure working with you on your door project. Please call me personally at 919 590-9938 if you ever have an issue of any kind or if you ever decide to replace your windows George"
George, the sales representative for Simonton Windows, is very easy to work with. He is very responsive and knows what he is talking about when it comes to windows. I only had one bathroom window replaced but I cannot tell George treated me any different than his other customers who have 10+ windows replaced. There was a misunderstanding between installer and me in regard to the quote. George is willing to sacrifice his own profit to achieve customer satisfaction.
His installer team (Avery & et al) is very professional and did a very good job. My old window was a site-built window, which required extra effort to tear out and replace. But at the end of the day I am thrilled with shining new window! I really appreciate Avery took the time to clean my home or the job site very thoroughly!
"Thank You (Removed Member Name) for the wonderful review. Because the window was in your tub and needed tempered glass and because it needed a great deal of material and extra work to complete I am glad you chose Masterpiece. This was not a for beginners. You deserve great customer service no mater how many window you buy. The truth is, most companies don't think a customer with a small job is worth their time but when you and I spoke at the install you indicated that because of how well everything went you will call us if you decide to replace other windows. We would be honored to work with you again. Thank you so much for becoming one of our valuable customers."
George had a portfolio of photos with similar trapezoid, pentagon, casement, and slider windows he had installed and that helped us understand what replacement windows would look like in our home. We had planned to replace 3 double hung windows with the same, but George suggested casement and fixed windows on the back of our home to maximize our beautiful views. We had not thought of this and we could not have been happier once they were installed.
The main reason we were replacing windows was to try to reduce the amount of heat coming through our older windows that faced west and got afternoon sun all day. What a difference new windows made! You can't feel any heat standing in front of the windows with full afternoon summer sun! The odd shaped trapezoid and pentagon windows are 6 feet tall and fit perfectly. Avery and his team were efficient, professional, and left our home as clean as when they arrived. There were NO surprises! George and his team did exactly what they promised and we will use them again for the windows on the rest of our home when we are ready to replace.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. [removed member name], Thank you so much for your incredible review. I can't tell you how exciting it was to read the comments you wrote. I also want to thank you for the wonderful referral you sent our way. As you know they went forward with us and their decision had a lot to do with your recommendation. I look forward to working with you when you are ready to replace some of your other windows. By the way, I know one of your main concerns was the heat that came into that room with the large trapezoids. It's amazing how the Simonton hi performance glass blocks the temperatures isn't it? I will always be there if you need me. Thank You both again George"
"Thank You [Member name removed] What a wonderful review. I am so glad you chose Masterpiece Windows. When other Angie's list members read your review I know they will give us a chance to show our company and products and they will do so because of your kind review. You were a very well researched customer which is the best way to be especially when your looking at windows. There is so much to learn before you can make a wise choice. What I like about Angie's List is that customers like you have a place to tell others about your experience. (Good or Bad) We are excited to be rated so highly by all of our customers and will make sure you are always taken care of should a need ever arise. Call me personally if you need us, I will always be there for you. George"
"Hi Mr. [removed member name], Thank you for your comments. I am glad you are satisfied with Masterpiece and our installation. The beautiful dark oak interior on your new Simonton window looks like real wood without the upkeep. When I was in your home you impressed upon me that you wanted quality and I believe you have chosen wisely. Please call me personally if you ever have a need with your windows. George"
Our experience with George Sullivan (the sales representative) and Avery (the installer) and his crew was excellent: the lowest price, excellent products, beautiful installation in a difficult house, and quick completion. Less than three weeks after we signed the contract, the project was complete. The actual installation took only two days.
We met with four replacement window companies: Window World, Aluminum Company of NC, My Guys Remodeling, and Masterpiece. We received price proposals from each. Masterpiece's price proposal was $1,200 below Window World and at least $4,000 below the other two companies. And they furnished a superior window.
I am an architect, practicing for almost 30 years, and I have learned a lot about windows. And I am very picky. Masterpiece represents Simonton Windows, that are manufactured in Virginia; a great product. And as I noted above, the craftsmanship of the installers was excellent. Three of the four men were older than I am; real craftsman, and they were picky too. I did not need to worry about cutting corners or expeditious solutions. They did it right.
It's just nice to be able to write a glowing review about a job well done. I deal with design and construction every day, and these guys are special.
"Thank You [Member Name] for such a wonderful review. I'm glad you are enjoying your new windows. Your home has turned out to be one of my favorites because of the dramatic architectural design and the way you have decorated it. Very Nice! Both you and your husband were a pleasure to work for. Let me know if you ever have a service need or want to consider one of the entry doors we discussed George"
It was several more weeks after signing the contract that we had the work done. The crew only does installs on the weekend which was different, but again made me feel more comfortable with them. I did not have to take off work to supervise the job which was nice. They arrived early on a Saturday and worked until 6pm. About 2/3's of the job was done the first day. The crew leader, Avery, was everything George touted him to be. It was obvious his crew respected him and they made sure they all did excellent work. They were courteous and respectful of our home and the impact they had for the 2 day job. They actually seemed genuinely happy to be working which was good to see. They were quick and efficient and from what I watched they seemed to make sure the install was flawless. On Sunday they finished in about 5 hours. I was very impressed with their work. I did ask that they go back on some of the windows that I noticed had little holes in the caulking, but they willingly re-caulked any windows with this issue. My only suggestion to the owner was that I would have appreciated a final walk through with the crew leader to inspect each window and the door to make sure I was totally satisfied. I did this on my own and found everything acceptable.
Some things I was specifically impressed with was:
1. George's way of expecting and providing perfectionism. George's passion for the product.
2. Avery was an excellent crew leader who was engaged in the whole job. His crew was also great.
3. The quality of the product and the lifetime warranty.
4. The 5 year Masterpiece warranty on the workmanship.
5. The availability and quickness of install.
6. The price that I found fair for the quality of the product and after the job for the workmanship the crew provided.
We have been enjoying our windows for almost 2 months now. They are really great windows that we are taking full advantage of with the nice weather days. The ease of opening and cleaning these windows is wonderful. We also have noticed some difference in the noise reduction of the windows. We live near RDU airport and the planes fly over us. The noise reduction is nice and we hope to see some money savings in the efficiency of the windows soon. Many thanks to Masterpiece for a flawless process! As a homeowner who was spending a lot on this job I am grateful that there are companies out there who know how to treat their customers.
"Thank You for allowing Masterpiece to install new windows into your home. You are a wonderful customer and a delight to work for. I know with all the other companies out there you could have chosen one of them but you chose us. We really appreciate it. George"
"Hi [Member Name] I was looking at the review you gave us and was so glad to read all the wonderful things you said about our company. What a blessing to me and our installation crew. It is customers like you that make being in business fun and rewarding. Again Thank You Very Much George"
"Thank You Mrs. [member name removed] for choosing Masterpiece to install your new Acorn Stair Lift into you home. Let me know if you ever have a need. George"
