We had windows put in a year ago and still love them. Wayne was really helpful with follow up and support even several months after the job was completed.

Edit: Wayne did come out and have his guys replace some parts that were not installed correctly (and compensated me, out of his own pocket, for a small part of the work that I had done to repair the poor installation), and seemed to really want me to be happy. Unfortunately, the poor original work has left such a bad taste that I will go elsewhere next time I need windows. Wayne did an exceptional job selling what seem to be decent quality windows, but the installation was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!!! The installers hung the windows (incorrectly) on what I later discovered was completely rotten wood, drilled additional (unnecessary) holes to attach them since the wood was so bad. They failed to put up rain guards ON ANY OF THE WINDOWS and I had rain STREAMING DOWN THE INSIDES!! There were VISIBLE GAPS above the windows. Wayne's solution was more caulk. Just more caulk. REALLY?!?!?!? I am still waiting for Wayne to rectify this terrible installation in some way, since I paid $4,000 to him and am not at all pleased with the work done.
Response from Carefree Coatings & Windows
"These windows were installed n Sept '15. A couple days after the install Rob called 2 say there were a problem with the front windows caulk. I went over the next day, it had rained the day b4. The caulk was soft, it had not set up due 2 the rain I thought. I cleaned out the wet caulk & re-applied a silicone base caulk. I did not hear from the customer until I received a email March 3rd of this yr with pictures of a leak problem from a gutter he admitted had been leaking 4 sometime. There were 4 layers of 2 x 4s on the right side of the window where the leak came from that were starting 2 decay due 2 the leak. Apparently this leak had been ignored since b4 the windows were installed due 2 the fact the caulk became soft after the rain. The screws we used had started 2 rust due 2 the same problem. There were minor deterioration with the 2 x 4 on the leak side of the window & on the bottom BUT there were NO visible signs of bad wood when we installed the windows one & a half yrs b 4. This customers seems 2 think I'm responsible 4 him ignoring the leak problem which was there b 4 our work began. The only way I would have been aware of such a problem would have been 2 take off the siding. Since there were NO visible signs of decay a yr & a half ago there would have been no need. There were a mistake on this job however. My guys forgot 2 install a drip edge above the windows. We were there on 3-13-17 approx. 3 hrs correcting this problem which resulting n replacing a board above 1 of the windows.We bent metal & inserted it behind the windows creating a metal drip edge which extended 3" behind the boards correcting the problem. The customer contacted me saying he wanted me 2 come by & explain what we had done which I already told him how we corrected the problem the day we were there but I would still come by. About a wk & half ago I had planned 2 go by, I received a email saying he was sick & we would have 2 reschedule. I replied that as soon as he felt better give me a call. We agreed 2 meet the wk-n of April 1st. He cancelled saying he was out of town. I called on 4-3 -17 & left another msg asking 2 drop by since I was n the area - no reply. He has implied I haven't follow up but I have made several attempts 2 drop by, I don't know what else I can do. As I've said there were no visible damage when we did the job but 2 try & satisfy this customer I left a $ 150 ck w/ his daughter the day we were there on March 13th which he has not cashed yet. He expects me 2 pay 4 the damage that he has ignored apparently well b 4 we installed the windows. For 4 layers of 2 x 4s to b affected this problem had 2 b going on for some time. I've tried 2 settle this situation but please read my other reviews & make up u r own mind as 2 what kind of person I am."

Wayne offers very competitive pricing, quality products and quality work without all the pricing games the big suppliers play. He aims to meet the customer's needs without trying to oversell. In fact, if he sees a way to save the customer money, he informs the customer. I highly recommend Carefree Coatings and Windows.

Carefree replaced 13 windows in my home . Their windows are as good as the big name companies, but at a much better price. Their work crew was polite and they did a great job !

In my experience and opinion Carefree is as good a quality as is available in the Charlotte region. In the pricing area they were more affordable than any others by far.

I had a great experience working with Wayne and his crew. They replaced the windows in my home & garage and replaced my front door unit. They were professional, easy to work with and that got the job done fast without sacraficing quality. This fall they are going to paint the exterior of the house, I am looking forward to getting that done.

Wayne and his crew are professional and courteous. They did an excellent job with painting the exterior of our house, and with multiple smaller projects. Each time we have worked with Wayne the quality and efficiency of the work is top notch and I could not be more pleased with the results.

I had wanted new windows for quite a while. Wayne explained everything! Gave reasons for buying the new windows which I did-- 20 windows!! Some of his selling points was cleaning up after they work, taking the old windows with him, it would be 1-1/2 day of work. He did all he said. One morning the windows arrived and were completely installed that day. The men worked steadily all day and were exceptionally nice people. Wayne was excellent in everything he promised and I am very impressed with the entire project.

Wayne and his crew did a professional job painting my house. They arrived as promised and completed the job on schedule. The detail on the painting was perfect. The crew worked just as hard with or without Wayne being on site which he was most of the time. The pricing on the job was very reasonable and my wife and I were completely satasified. Rich F

I was extremely satisfied with Carefree Coatings & Windows. The guys installing the windows were prompt and professional. When I asked the estimated time of completion, it was at least an hour earlier than the completion time. My windows look amazing .Wayne knows everything about a window. He was able to answer all my questions.
