What a fabulous job Mike and Paul did replacing windows in our home! Even though the old windows were improperly installed and difficult to remove, he took it in stride and the end result was amazing. I will definitely keep Mike in mind for all our future home improvement needs!!

These people do a good job, but 2 of them were here about 2 hours the other day cleaning windows, and the bill was $307. That’s about $75/hr for each of them. Higher hourly wages than I have ever made. They have priced themselves right out of my budget.

"Sales process was good, courteous and helpful. Installation instructions were easy to follow. Did have a small issue with one sensor which was easily solved with a call. Control panel is easy to use and well constructed. Phone app is the best part. Not a big fan of a 2 year contract and the monthly rate feels a little high, but definitely a decent system. I had emailed them a question pertaining installing on double hung windows and never received a reply, but other than that their phone support prior to that was good."
