It's easy to write a good review for a company when everything goes 100% right. It's rarer to want to do so when your project doesn't go so smoothly. But, in this case, it is a testament to the honesty and integrity of this company and the folks that work there, that I am providing a 5-star review despite some issues.
I want to start by saying that every other window company I called either failed to respond to my inquiry or failed to show up on time for appointments to discuss my project. Each told me it was "impossible" to provide an actual appointment time and could only provide broad time windows, which they then decided were potential arrival times which they were late for, then expected me to be available for a further 90 minutes for their sales pitch. In the middle of a workday. Their receptionists were rude, abrusque, and generally appeared not to care. I was not impressed.
In contrast, the nice lady who works the phones at Brothers was always warm and friendly when I called. Steven, the sales guy, made a specific appointment time, arrived on time, and provided a solid, written and emailed quote with options within 45 minutes. He was friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and professional. Brothers was not the cheapest quote I got - nor the most expensive - but this experience alone made me want to go with them.
It took me a few months to pull the trigger on my project. When I contacted Steven to move ahead, he honored his quote even though manufacturer pricing had changed.
Everything went fantastically and quickly with measuring and getting an installation date. Guys showed up on time for the appointment and they were done in the amount of time they promised, leaving the areas clean.
Except I noticed that the wrong grade window had been installed. I called Steven right away and he got back to me within a couple of hours with an immediate apology and two options to compensate me for the mistake, both of which were fair and reasonable. No arguing the toss. I was, again, more than happy.
Then, the next issue was/is to do with permits for the small window in one of my bedrooms. It's a long story and, based upon my own research, not Brother's fault BUT never once have I doubted that they would do the right thing to resolve the issue. Both Steven and Steve (installation manager) have been quick to respond to my requests and have promised that, whatever it takes, they will do whatever they need to do to resolve this current challenge. I'm writing this review without a final resolution because I am *that* confident that they will stand by that promise.
As for the door and windows I had installed, they're great quality, no issues with installation whatsoever.
For a project that has had a few snafus, I could never have imagined writing such a glowing review but it is 100% deserved. This company is THE REAL DEAL. Honesty, integrity, and solid people working for them. You don't find that much these days.
If you're thinking of replacing your windows or doors, you need to work with Brother's, PERIOD. Even if they're a little more than other quotes you may get. Because they're 100% worth it. You won't regret it. read more
