The estimator came the very day I called for a quote, was personable and professional. He left a brochure that contained details about the construction and functionality of the windows and I received the quote via email, as I requested, within two business days. Unfortunately, the price was more than I wanted to spend. Three single awning windows (approx. 20x24") were estimated at $1750. I'm going to keep shopping.

Excellent. The window in question was built around the air conditioner (with an inch metal border) and jealousie window above the unit. The measurements of the air conditioner made it impossiblet to replace and the unit could not be repaired. Being a senior citizen I can say Emerald made this such a positive experience that I didn't mind spending the money (I truly got what I paid for).

Todd was great in coming out to look at my problem window. Gave me a reasonable estimate to fix something another company said I could only fix by installing an entire new window. Repair work done in quick manner & they were clean.

I first had Todd come to the house to do a assessment on what was needed. He showed up on time. We talked about all the options I had with the different types and makes of windows. I then received 2 different quotes from 2 different makes of windows. I chose one (came in about 1000 cheaper then other companies) make then we made a date for Todd and the master carpenter Dan to come see the job. I put my deposit down at that time I believe it was 1/3 of the total price and made a date for the installation. I had to email Todd back to change the installation date. He was happy to do so but informed me Dan would be off the day I chose. I opted to change it to a Dan was working since I figured he already knew the job and it would run smoother. The first day of the installation Dan and 2 other gentlemen (forget their names) showed up about 9:45 in the morning and was happy to see they made it early and ready to get to work. Where very courteous and put cardboard down in the path they would be walking in and out the door. They first started on the up stairs windows. They laied down drop cloths and all making sure not to cause a mess. One of the gentlemen asked me if I had any questions on what he was doing to please feel free to ask. I did have a couple and answered them with no problem. They had to re-frame one window up stairs (in a room that is being renovated) that turned out great. The window in the bathroom was a old aluminum and had to be broken out because they where not able to unscrew it. The only thing I wish they did a little better was sweep where the window broke as a little shard of glass got into my foot ( not a huge deal). The first day they installed and capped all the windows up stairs but one. They had to come back with a little cement to fill in a gap with one window before capping. I had a frosted casement window installed in the bathroom but after seeing it installed didn't like the frosted glass. I called Todd and ask him how much it would be to replace the glass with regular. He gave me a guess that was very reasonable and told me Dan would install a regular piece the next day. The next day I was not home but had someone else in the house. They again showed up on time set up everything nice again. They did 2 double casement windows in the kitchen fairly quick and capped them. Dan also was able to install the regular glass in the bathroom window (just couldn't use it for a week so the seal could set up. All in all very happy with everything Emerald has done and communicated with me. Definitely give these guys a call Todd and the crew will take care of you.

I was very nervous because I was just ripped off by another contractor and fired them. They made me feel at ease and explained everything. They were quick, neat, polite, professional and caring.

I decided not to go with them because the product was not good for me and the expectation that I had.

"While the product we had to offer did not fit the specific needs/requirements of you and your condo community, I do hope that you found us to be up front about the limitations of what we did offer. We don't have options to meet the needs of every consumer but we do strive to be open and honest with each consumer. We'd rather lose a sale than compromise your trust. Best luck with your new windows...Todd"

Perfect experience from start to finish. Todd, the owner, is punctual, polite and professional. The guys who came to do the work, Gil and Johnny, were wonderful. The windows were installed well, and the house was left as clean as they had found it. Gil even did some extra scraping on the window exteriors, where he had removed old screens, to make my touch-up painting easier. I plan to sell my house and purchase a triplex, if the my new building needs windows I will absolutely call Emerald.

It went very well. The tenants in the building explained to us about the crew and the overall job. I only had one complaint about the insulation and after calling Todd about this he immediately dispatched a crew to come and check and re-insulate some of the windows. They are air tight and the tenants are warm and fuzzy in their little apartments. I only had one complaint and that was the crew did a lot of their cutting of wood framing stuff in the basement and did not clean up all the dust it created. I do understand that it was the basement but there was a light coating of fine wood dust on everything. I didn't say anything to Todd, but if I had he probably would have sent someone out to clean it up. That's the kind of company they are. I am planning to replace some windows in another building this Spring and will definately call Emerald again!
Response from EMERALD WINDOWS INC

"Thank you for the kind words especially considering how the basement was left. You're correct, we would have come clean and, certainly are still willing to do so! Let me know if you've not cleaned it already. Looking forward to working with you on your next project!...Todd"

Paul as usual gave me excellent advice on which type of doors to choose and repair to existing posts needed. delivery to be 4-5 weeks, arrived in timely fashion. Crew showed up promptly as scheduled. One door needed to be adjusted, so they put the existing door back on and took the new door back to the shop. Came the next day to install. Workmen are a delight to work with; easy, seemed happy to be doing their work on the coldest of days. extremely nice to have amenable professionals doing the work. Doors fit perfectly and look very good.

Dan, Ben and John arrived at my home and each of them were professional, courteous and very friendly. Ben has a great sense of humor and even scored himself a delicious serving of my husband's trademark seafood salad. Ben began laying down drop cloths and cardboard to protect the floors. He even covered decorative items on my dining room table with plastic. The same care was taken in the upstairs office space where the other repairs were completed. John and Dan even moved the desk in the office space closer to the window that I had it which opened up more space in the room. Todd told me that the all of the work would be done by 4:30pm and the guys beat his time by ten minutes. I had work done by window wizards on other windows in the past, and Dan pointed out that window wizards didn't caulk around the windows the way they should have and he corrected that issue as well. When the guys were done working, they vacuumed and swept up behind themselves, leaving the work area very neat. My repairs took place on a very cold day which cause one of the new window latches to crack rather easily. Dan made me aware of the situation and has assured me that he will be back out in the near future(at my earliest convenience) to replace the latch which will only take 5-10 mins. I appreciate his honesty. I will be using Emerald windows for any future window replacements and repairs. I would highly recommend their services.

Excellent from start to finish. Todd's proposal was competitively priced and professionally prepared. The windows were installed seven weeks from order date. The installation took place over a three day period. The crew arrived promptly each morning and did a great job of cleaning up at the end of each day.

They did a fantistic job the told me originally the job would take 1 1/2 days but they sent extra guys out on the day of the job and completed the job in 1 day. I must say Gil and his crew were exceptional not missing any detail from the installation to the final clean up.

We found Emerald on Angies List. We called and made an appointment with their estimator, Todd Curry. Todd came out and specked the job. He was polite, professional and accomodating (I had my heart set on a specific style of security door, and Todd found it for me, though he had to do some research, and we chose an unusual style of window). He got an estimate to us in a timely manor. We made a down payment of 33% and were told that it would be about 6 weeks for the windows and doors to be made. It took a little longer than that (about 8 weeks), and I called to check at that point. Todd told me that the windows were expected in shortly and we coordinated a time for the installation. He said it would take 3 days. Emerald's League-of-Nations crew arrived on time, were polite, clean and respectful of us and our space. They finished the job in 2 and half days. There was one problem; the door had been installed backwards which interfered with its opening. A crew came out at our earliest convenience and reinstalled the door. We were very pleased with Emerald's work and would not hesitate to recommend them.

When Todd came over to give us an estimate, he was professional, informative, and not pushy at all (a contrast with some other sales reps!). He very quickly gave us several estimates to help us make a decision, and was extremely responsive (and patient) in tailoring those estimates to meet our evolving needs. The crew was on time to the minute, extremely professional and friendly (even reminding me to take my umbrella since it was supposed to rain on the day of installation). Their workmanship seems excellent and precise, and they left the place spotless after they were done.

i have a south philly rowhouse that was in desperate need of new windows - in total, 15 windows. one of them was real screwed up. the previous owners had turned it into a permanent sleeve for an air conditioner and raised the window above it. it was a true disaster. the rest were old aluminum replacement windows from the 70s and some old, tired storm windows. after dealing with all of the yellow-pagers (power windows and siding, windowizards - who i actually asked to leave), i finally decided to call emerald based on a reference from a friend. todd came out and assessed the situation. he was really polite and very informative. within a day we had a quote (with discount for multiple installed). we left our deposit and within 2 weeks we were having them installed. they took 2 days. they were very clean about it. and probably the nicest bunch of guys you'll ever have out to work on your house. not only have we seen an improvement in our interior environment and electrical bill, but these windows look great. gil is a master at this. the effort they put into the capping / flashing was outstanding. once the windows were installed, we decided to go with emerald for our new front door. we picked our door, had it ordered within a week or so. it took about 3 weeks to get here, but it was well worth the wait. gil and his crew had it installed in about 4 hours. our new windows and doors are the talk of the block. and i think one of our neighbors may have called them since. i wouldn't think twice about having them out again, but they've pretty much replaced every window and door in the house already. todd upgraded our windows at no additional charge to ensure we qualified for obama's tax credit. and he also gave us a multiple install discount. call emerald. don't mess with the wizard.

This was a fantastic experience. Todd was professional and kind. He answered all of our questions quickly and fully explained everything. He even scheduled the installation to coincide with our vacation plans. Our basement windows were in terrible shape, but when we got home from vacation, we were amazed with our new ones! They open and close with ease, they look great, and are perfectly sealed. Todd matched the exterior sills to match our current paint color. The workers left no mess at all. The crew really went the extra mile - doing patchwork, extra repair work around the windows, etc. All in all, a great experience.

I was in the market for replacing my windows (10) with energy efficient ones. Todd came out to my property, measured for the windows. He faxed me an estimate the next day. The estimate was competitive and Todd's presentation was very professional. I decided to go with a firm that was able to do my windows, garage door, cement work and roof for an amount that was equal to the combined estimates given for each separate job. Doing so simplified the process for me as I only now had to deal with one company. I would not hestitate to use Emerald in the future.

Todd Curry came out to do estimate. He was punctual, professional, and courteous. He was well versed about the federal tax credit and applicable products which we were interested in taking advantage of. He provided us with an estimate that same day (via email) and price was within the range of others we had received. We did not use this company for reasons totally unrelated to the presentation and estimate and I would not hesitate to call him again if the need arises.

The whole process of working with Emerald (my first time hiring professional help for home repair service) was so easy that throughout most of the process I was a little skeptical that things should be going so well. This company was so easy to work with and I would certainly recommend them to anyone.

The install went well, quietly and professionally. The storms look great and hopefully we'll see a real decrease in our heating bill next year. The double hung in the upstairs bathroom looks absolutely terrific and high quality. Should we be able to purchase more windows in the future, I look forward to working with them.

I found Emerald Windows through regular internet research and reviews on Angie's List. I first had Todd come out to see the windows on the day I was having the house inspected in mid-January. He promptly sent an estimate with for replacing all the windows in the house. Because the windows were expensive (about $1k each), I wanted to know how much energy efficiency and soundproofing they would provide. Todd made no promises but said I could expect significant benefits. After I moved into the house and figured out the priority of windows vs other updates, I then decided to replace the five most important ones. We had a second site visit to take more measurements and then about a month later the windows were installed, actually a week or two earlier than anticipated. The day of installation was very easy. I left the workmen there while I was at work and felt confident they would do a great job without oversight. When I returned to the house one of them showed me how to use and clean the windows. A few of the window openings got roughed up in the process (I am planning to repaint anyway), but there was no mess left behind.
