We recently had eight windows replaced by Croixside. We live in a nearly 100 year old home, and ironically, it was the windows replaced in (we think) the early 1970s that were the most awful - drafty, poorly insulated and rickety. So we started with those, in our kids' rooms and two bathrooms. We also had one completely new window put in, where there was formerly just a tiny vent window.
Mike from Croixside was very thorough and very informative when we had him visit to consult. He did not do an aggressive hard sell as several other companies did, or try to get us to do more than we can afford at this point in time. That alone made us strongly consider Croixside. But he was also helpful with financing information and very helpful in explaining what we could expect for timing, the job itself, and the windows' performance.
Our timeline was more than met. Our windows arrived a little early, so we were actually bumped up a bit in the schedule. The installer was very nice, but also very work oriented, and completed the installation in the time we were told to expect. He left the job site very clean, was fine and friendly to our little old dog, and worked quickly and quietly.
Some of the windows we were replacing were so awful that even with plastic shrink weatherproofing the draft would just pour in during the winter. It is wonderful to walk into a bathroom in November and not have a chilly draft! One of our kids had such an awful window he would get an occasional scrim of ice on the surface of his water glass overnight! Now his room is toasty. The windows look super appropriate to the house, and blend in incredibly well. They will be easy to clean, all from the inside, which is great as most of them are on the second floor.
We will be calling Croixside again when we are ready to do more window replacement, and would recommend them enthusiastically for their good product and good work. read more
