If you're looking for replacement windows and/or doors, which you obviously are since you're here…read morereading reviews: Get comfy. I've got a good one for you. When the time came to buy replacement windows, my husband and I went on the hunt for quality that wouldn't break the bank coupled with experienced installation and excellent customer service provided by a long-established company.
(Yeah... right, lady. Would you like a herd of iridescent unicorns thrown in for good measure?)
Being well-versed in exercising due diligence, retired and patient, we had plenty of time for the search. We started by asking friends and relatives who they had used; and, as you can imagine, the responses were all over the board. We got quotes from two of the Big Names, and requested a quote from one of the most aggressive advertisers and got no response from them whatsoever... but it's just as well. Their quote would probably have been near or higher than the others.
Then we went to dinner at the brother- and sister-in-law's house... and there they were: the windows and patio doors we'd been wanting forever complete with a glowing recommendation for both experience, service, and quality. We wasted no time getting in touch with M. Rhodes Co. LLC and got a quote - it wasn't the cheapest. We didn't want the cheapest; and it wasn't the most expensive. We sure didn't want that... we had been there and done that in our last house when we were young and foolish.
M. Rhodes Co., owned and managed by Bob Rhodes and his daughter, Tara, has been in business almost forever. It was started by Bob's father 83 years ago. Bob and Tara do the quoting and he's known his installers - two brothers - since they were children. They're in their mid-40s now. They specialize in Simonton products - excellent construction and quality at a fair price. The only hiccup in the entire process was the supply chain issue caused by the pandemic. We had to wait a few weeks longer than 'normal'... but let me tell you: Our patience was rewarded. It was well worth the wait.
The windows and patio doors came in. Bob called immediately and we scheduled the door installation for the end of that week with the windows to follow the following Monday - today. The brothers showed up at the promised time and went to work. Both patio doors were installed and functioning perfectly by 12:30pm. One of us had a prior commitment, so work commenced this morning at the appointed time and before we knew it, we had three fixed windows, a huge picture window, and two standard windows done and dusted. All the debris was packed up and carried off and when they left, there wasn't a spot on the glass, the frames, the sills... nowhere.
So... if the above was TLDR (too long, didn't read) for you... here's the bottom line: M. Rhodes Co. LLC, is professional, provides excellent customer service, quality products, experienced installation, 10-Star performance, a fair price that only changed by a little bit due to some rot under one of our sills, an honest presentation, and genuine appreciation for our business. Give them a call. You'll save - literally - thousands of dollars; and you'll get windows and doors that make your home quieter (I can't believe how much these have cut down the traffic noise!) and more secure. You'll get communication. Real Customer Service. Experience. Quality. Fair pricing. An honest deal... and they're an Oklahoma company to boot! When they give you their word, they keep it. I wasn't sure this kind of company still existed in 'these unprecedented times'; but it does.
I didn't get an iridescent unicorn herd, but that's okay. I didn't have anyplace to keep one anyway.
(In the spirit of full disclosure, we were asked to give M. Rhodes Co. an honest review when the job was done, which I have herein provided. I was not given a discount, payment, or any special treatment one way or the other in any way, shape, or form for the opinions I have given... I am, however, a professional writer; so I buy pixels by the 55gal drum... :))
