They were very conscious of the work they needed to do and cleaned everywhere they worked very thoroughly. They were very polite.Answered any questions I had. It took they 4 hours to uninstall and install 6 windows and install new molding around windows.
The delivery of our vanity mirror came at a later date but was not only installed for us but the gentlemen even hung a magnifying mirror for us as well.
The only disappointment on our end is 1) the install folks are not a good and quot;face of the companyand quot;...they lack customer service skills and made us feel as though we were a problem. In contrast, the sales rep was very easy to work with. and 2) Would have liked to have been offered a discount for the inconvenience, but were afraid to ask...
There was some confusion as to which model of window we were purchasing. Their supplier (Lindsay) has different names/levels depending on the manufacturer warranty (i.e. they sell the same window under different names depending on the length of the manufacturer warranty). They quoted us a price for the lifetime warranty windows (the and quot;Healthyand quot; line), but the windows that were delivered had the brand name stickers for the 10 year warranty line (and quot;Earthwiseand quot;). I called Lindsay directly and was informed there is no physical difference in the 2 window lines....they just sell them under different names to correspond to the different warranties they offer. When we questioned this with Hellenbrand, Hellenbrand agreed to honor the lifetime warranty themselves. I was rather upset by this, as it seemed like a bait and switch, but agreed to it, as I didn't want them to rip out the windows in the middle of winter and have to wait for new ones (particularly as there is no physical difference between the two lines).
The quality of windows seems great. No problems so far. They look very attractive and are very easy to operate. They seal quite well and have reduced noise and heat dissipation considerably. We get lots of compliments about the windows.
Hellenbrand sales staff was a little slow in responding to e-mails, but their workmen were very punctual when arrived. Workmen were polite, knowledgeable, and professional. They did leave the wooden packing blocks taped to the window frames, which I had to remove.
My feelings about Hellenbrand are mixed. The quality of the windows seems excellent and the workmen were quite professional. They also did not do a high pressure sales pitch and did not do a and quot;dog and pony showand quot; of jumping on windows. Their workmen used the and quot;correctand quot; installation methods (non-expanding foam seal rather than just stuffing in insulation) and did a nice job. However, their sales staff was slow to respond and I was very unhappy with the mix up over the window brand. Although there is no physical or functional difference between the Lindsay and quot;healthyand quot; and and quot;earthwiseand quot; brands, the manufactur's warranty is quite different. For the money we were spending, this should not have happened. I am not sure whether this was an honest mix-up, or if Hellenbrand orders the cheaper and quot;Earthwiseand quot; windows from Lindsay and then charges customers the premium for the and quot;Healthyand quot; brand. While I am happy Hellenbrand will honor the lifetime warranty for Lindsay's and quot;healthyand quot; line, I worry what will happen if they are no longer in business and I need to deal directly with Lindsay. I am also turned off by the fact that Hellenbrand reduced its own labor warranty considerably.
We have 8 more windows we plan on replacing over the course of the next 2 years. Right now, we are undecided whether we will use Hellenbrand again. I am willing to pay a premium for a high quality product and lifetine warranty, but in light of the window brand mix-up and their new reduced year labor warranty, I do not know whether the high price is justified.
