Sales and installation were done top notch, without high pressure sales. Just follow up for measurements and ensuring accuracy of what is wanted, and accurate ordering. Measurement and installation crew were accurate, timely and meticulous on the installation which had some challenging openings from the existing brick around the previous windows. They didn’t rush over areas that gave some difficulties but did it right the first time. I would recommend Zen Windows for anyone looking for quality window company for replacement windows.
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"Thank you so much for your review. I especially appreciate your comment about "no sales pressure!" "No Pressure" is one thing we feel strongly about. (Our company name kind of implies that!) The window industry as a whole has turned something that should be easy and simple to do (finding out how much your windows will cost) into some convoluted process and "less than pleasant" experience. It's a relic process from before the days of high speed internet I guess. We feel the most important job of a great window company is the installation. We apply our pressure on our install teams rather than our potential customers! ... Which we feel is the best way to go about it anyway! :) Thanks Again, we really enjoyed getting to know you while working on your project! [Member Name Removed]"

The old windows were becoming hard to see through and hard to open. After getting bids from a couple of "hard sell" and more expensive vendors, I luckily heard of Zen Windows. It was truly a zen experience--no pressure, lots of comparative information, all on-line or over the phone until time to measure the windows. The staff was professional, did not waste our time, explained everything, cleaned up afterwards. (A note: replacing your windows is not a neat job, lots of debris will be created and the space will be open to outside air for some time. Zen minimized the inconvenience for us and it was actually pleasant to have them in our home.) They were super picky about the quality of the work: after installing and cleaning the windows, they discovered a tiny scratch on one that I would not have noticed. They ordered a replacement from the factory and came back a few weeks later to replace it. It is SO wonderful to have new vinyl windows! They are energy efficient and EASY to keep clean, since they pop half-way out to clean the outside pane without going outside. We appreciate out yard more now that we can see it clearly.
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"We truly pride ourselves in being picky about our quality of windows and installation. This is a big part of why we don't take any money up front. We want to hold ourselves accountable to providing the highest quality of products and service or we can't expect to get paid. We really appreciate you taking notice of our attention to detail as it is something we strive to make noticeable. We appreciate your business and your review. Thank you! -Dan"

The crew showed up on time both days and was very accommodating with my work schedule. They kept the areas they were working on clean and cleaned up and took the old windows and glass once everything was done. Very professional and would hire them again. Pricing for them was also very fair and no pressure tactics when it came to pricing.
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"All of us at Zen are honored that you chose us to work with you on your window project. We have been blessed to have fantastic installation crews which is (in my opinion) the most important part of a window project. (There are lots of good windows out there, but they all have to be installed right!) We look forward to working with you again on your next house! :) - Dan"

Zen Windows replaced the windows on our 60+ year old house. The crew was friendly and courteous, the quality of work was excellent, and they did an outstanding job cleaning up. I accidentally over-paid, and would never have know if Dan had not called me about it and written a check to square things up. It was an outstanding customer experience and I would hire them again in a second.
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"Thank you so much for your glowing review. We are honored that you chose Zen for your window project. The way we feel about what we do... People trust us with their homes. The place they live, raise their children, their sanctuary against the "world." That's a pretty BIG thing! You can trust us with your money too! :) - Dan"

Went great - he was there on time, which is important because I was working and needed it done as soon as possible so had to come home from work to meeting him.
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"Thank you for the great review. I think however, this is for Glass Doctor who we refer all broken glass issues to. Zen does not "repair" glass on windows as we replace the entire window and are not glass replacement specialist. But... if this was about Glass Doctor arriving on time, that is good to know. We have found them to be very good and will continue to refer people who need to replace a piece of glass to them."

It went magnificent! Robert and Bubba were extremely meticulous, so grateful for their dedication and attention to detail, such an exquisite gift! They cleaned up at the end of each and worked very hard. This has been a great experience for me, I have already been talking to my co-workers about my experience with Zen Windows. I definitely recommend Zen Windows to anyone who wants high quality windows installed by true professionals at a great value.
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"Thank you for your awesome comments about our service. We love what we do because we never feel pressure to "Sell, Sell, Sell." Having the best installers in Austin also makes what we do go smoothly as well. It has been our honor and our pleasure to work with you on this project. We will be happy to serve your friends and co-workers in the same way as well! Thank you for choosing Zen!"

Pros: Communication about scheduling, measuring, and window options was good, cost was great (with an Angie's list deal), team was friendly and professional, and we've been very happy with the windows (for 2 years now), especially large triple-paned picture window in living room. Cons: Attention to detail wasn't always fantastic (missed caulk in a few spots, etc., and we had to point it out), punctuality was really off (but I work from home so it didn't matter too much to me). Biggest con was communication about new window. Although we were very clear with the scheduler that this was a new install, not a replacement, the team showed up not knowing that and not having the right materials. They had to "make do," although in the end, it was fine. But there was a lot of grumbling about what we paid for the work. We were clear about our needs and the parameters of the project and were quoted a price. They honored it, but weren't too happy about it. Bottom line: Not certain I would use them again for a new install, but definitely would for replacements.
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"Hi [Member Name Removed], For some reason I missed this review and just saw this today. As you know, because of the way we do business, the real "face" of Zen is our installation crew... AND you are correct in that the crew you had 2 years ago were great at installing but lacked in 2 very important things... punctuality and (at times) attitude. Excellence in all these areas was not 100% for every customer. I know it is of little consequence to you now, but we replaced that install team not long after your install with a new team that we are truly fortunate to have. I apologize for the issues which you should not have had to endure. - Dan"

I bought the "Deal" from Zen Windows $1499. for 4 windows. Dan immediately contacted me and sent his installer Martin out to measure and discuss style of replacement windows. The quote was reasonable and so we ordered, within 3 weeks the Windows were delivered and the next day Martin and his crew showed up on time and it took a day and a half to replace 7 windows. They were neat and were constantly cleaning up after themselves and boy did they do a good job with the install. I don't think I have ever had a project go this smooth and this painless! I would recommend this company and and all the people that are involved with it in a heart beat. Great communication, they answered all calls & emails promptly and I never had to guess at a thing. Great product too!
Response from Zen Windows Austin
"Thank you so much for your review and recommendation. It must be said that you have been a joy to work with! :) I appreciate you more than you know. You are right about Martin and crew. They do pay attention to detail and will bleed if necessary to make things perfect! :)"

I had a rental house that was broken into and the vandals severely damaged one of my windows and kitchen door.  Both had to be replaced and reframed.  After doing my research on Aggies's list I decided to go with Zen Windows.  I am so glad I did because  the whole process from ordering to installation of the windows and door went without a hitch.  Dan was so pleasant to work with over the phone and his mantra of not just installing great windows but to finish with a completely happy customer is truly a great example of what great customer service should be!

We needed to replace 12 windows on our home.  My wife and I researched consumereports.org, Angie's list, as well as numerous other companies' websites.  We were concerned about an online only windows business, but after sitting through a two and half hour consultation for a central air unit last summer we decided to give it a chance.  Within 24 hours, we had a quote for their double hung, double pane windows.  We then requested a quote for double hung, triple pane windows.  Again, within 24 hours, we had a quote.  We were really impressed with how fast they communicated and decided to order their triple pane windows that are called "Lotus" windows.  Zen provided a notification when they shipped from the manufacturer in Ohio.  Their lead installer contacted us once they were in and we scheduled the installation for the following Monday (February 1st, 2016).  The installers showed up at approximately 10:30 on February 1st and began to install the windows.  After they had installed 4 of them, I noticed that it did not look like the windows had two different spacers as a triple pane window should have.  Sure enough, the windows were double pane and not triple pane.  Dan stated that Zen ordered the Lotus window, but the manufacturer's system defaulted to double pane windows.  We wanted triple pane windows, so Zen reordered the windows and the installation was scheduled for March 14 & 15.  The installers again showed up at approximately 10:30 and began the installation.  I had taken a picture of the manufacturer's window label that listed the u factor, condensation rating, and solar heat gain rating.  The solar heat gain rating on the double pane windows from February was .21.  After the second day of installation (all 12 windows were in, but trim work needed to be completed), I sent Dan a message in reference to the installation manual, warranty paperwork and a question about why the solar heat gain rating was worse with the triple pane windows (.26) than what was on the double pane windows (.21 - less is better).  When the installers showed up on the third and final day, the installer started by saying that he just got off the phone with an interesting conversation with Dan.  Come to find out, Dan had to call the manufacturer again to find out what had happened.  Approximately an hour into the final day's installation, and the lead installer said that Dan was coming to the house.  Dan drove over an hour to our house to explain in person that the manufacturer's system defaulted to the coating used in northern states for the triple pane windows.  This coating allows more solar heat to come through the window than the coating used for southern states that want to block as much of the solar heat as possible.  At this point, I was very upset - we were on our 5th day of what should have been an easy job.  I told Dan that I understood that it was the manufacturer's mistake, but I was done trying to get the windows we originally ordered.  Without hesitation, Dan did what was necessary to make the situation right.   The installers finished the job and Dan sent the warranty information via an e-mail. 

     Through it all, Dan maintained excellent communication via e-mail, phone, and then in person on the final day.  I was very impressed that Dan personally came to the house to explain what had happened and was apologetic that my experience had not been easy.  The installers were professional, friendly, and informative as they installed the windows.  Lastly, the windows really are great.  We love how they look and how quiet the house is now.  Even though my job did not go as planned, my wife and I still think we made the best decision by going with Zen windows.  If you are like we were - apprehensive about going with an online only windows business - I hope that my experience demonstrates how truly responsive Zen is to their customers' questions and concerns.  I highly recommend them!

"Thank you so much for your very kind words. While we like everything to go perfectly every single time, that does not always happen! In your case, it affirmed that neither of us should go and buy Lottery tickets right now! :) I've always ascribed to the notion that the mark of a really good company is not how they do when things run smoothly, but how they handle things when they don't. That's what I'm trying to build here... a really good company. Our goal is to finish with a happy and satisfied customer... no matter what. I am so glad that in your case we were able to accomplish that."

I have an eight feet sliding door and a large window replaced. The door and window were purchased from Home Depot. I found out after the installation that one of the door panel was damaged. After I got a new one from Home Depot, Zen was kind enough to send some one to replace it without additional charge. After opening the package, the installer found that the new door panel was still damage. So, it was not replaced. I finally got the 3rd one from Home Depot, and Zen sent the installer to install it successfully today, again without additional charge. I really appreciate Zen being responsible until the task is complete. All installers from Zen also have good protocol in cleaning up.

The installation should go without a hitch and it will have a lifetime warranty. :)"
