"The windows were manufactured earlier than we expected and we were promptly contacted about installation. Although we were told the installation was scheduled for two days, the four man crew that arrived was able to finish in a single day! Each window was installed with the same consistency in quality and efficiency. Furthermore, the crew did an excellent job protecting our floors and furnishings in every room. When it comes to evaluating the installation crew, we couldn't be happier. Regarding price, we probably paid more than we should, but that's on us. We advise getting several other quotes first and then get Castle's quote. This will definitely help in your negotiating. The windows have definitely helped to eliminate draftiness in our home and helped to maintain a consistent temperature."
"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'. "
"Andrew Williams provided us with professional and time appropriate window treatment services. He is trustworthy, does what he says he will do, and does a great job. He is also a very nice gentleman who is easy to work with."
"A+ painting and Staining worked with my tight schedule and completed the job in a timely manner; in spite of a couple of rain interruptions. definitely a competent and workman like job. Friendly crew. complete cleanup at end of job"
"The estimate was provided the same day they came to look at the roof. The estimate was detailed and easy to read. Gino kept me informed of all the steps and the work was completed on time. Very professional. "
"They took the roof off the existing garage, set down new floor, built outside walls, strengthened garage to hold addition, shingled roof and sided. They installed new windows and as per our agreement, we are finishing the inside work. The work is top class and his workers were professional and worked from early until late each day. Very happy with work. Would highly recommend this builder. He took care of the plans and the building permit."
