What I liked right away was…read morehow casual and easy everything felt, no pushy sales tactics, just straightforward and friendly communication. They were super responsive anytime I reached out with questions. Emails and calls were returned quickly, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. They also got someone out pretty fast to measure the windows, so things kept moving without delays. I ordered 10 windows for my townhouse at the end of February, and everything stayed on track. The windows came in April, and installation was set up for the very next week, exactly how they said it would go. The install team (two guys, led by the amazing Mark) was awesome, very professional, worked efficiently, and took the time to protect my floors and furniture. They cleaned up as they went, which I definitely appreciated. Scott, the owner, stayed in touch throughout the day of installation and honestly throughout the whole process. I had a couple of window and sash issues but Scott was amazing and the kind of communication and follow-through really stood out. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience. They did exactly what they said they would do, and the customer service was top-notch. I'd definitely recommend ZEN Windows to anyone. It really was a calm, "ZEN-like" experience. Haha!!

My project was complicated because my 1980s drywall shafts were the wrong size for modern solar blinds. Instead of just "making it work" or creating a huge mess with drywall dust, Zach proposed a brilliant custom solution: building a clean birch veneer box with custom trim. It looks stunning and kept my house completely dust-free. What impressed me most was Zach's integrity. During the install, a small piece of my old plastic molding snapped. Instead of ignoring it, Zach took full ownership and replaced the trim on both skylights with upgraded foam-backed wood molding at his own expense to ensure everything was airtight and uniform. It is not a simple fix but an upgrade, for free. See the attached before/after pictures and the broken plastic. Like most customers, I contacted a few contractors before selecting Winfield Builders. Their price is VERY reasonable, and the communication through Yelp was professional and transparent. It is rare to find a contractor who cares this much about the details. If you want a crew that is honest, skilled, and delivers a beautiful finish, call Zach. 1000% recommendation!

Zach made a strong impression from the start--when he came out to inspect my roof and I told him of a problem area, he went up on the roof to look at it! Replacing the roof took only one day, the crew arrived early and worked very hard. I also had the gutters replaced, opting for 6" gutters. The larger size has made a huge difference, as they're less likely to get clogged. My home is in good shape thanks to Winfield Builders!

None of them impressed me until Greg from Windows on Washington came over. He walked me through several options and explained how the windows they used were manufactured and why. Windows on Washington got the job. My windows and my doors were being manufactured. So they sent out a wonderful gentleman to get the final accurate measurements. Great guy. After that, communication was wonderful as were were assessed of the stage we were in. This included when we got the email and calls explaining that, since we were on a higher floor, they needed to bring in some equipment to lift the new doors up to our balcony. No surprises. Installation day was amazing as Joon and his team came in, got everything into place, and cleaned up the areas to better than when they got here. Joon then went over the features on our windows and even explained how we get to and clean the outsides of the glass. Wonderful man and amazing team. Since then, we have gotten copies of our warranty and the guarantees. And the company has reached out twice to ask if we have any questions and to ensure that we are happy with our windows. We are.

Yep, another five star review for American Windows…read more We received three estimates for replacing three windows, a French door and a picture window. American Window undercut the estimates of the other two vendors by a substantial margin. We also really liked they only asked for a modest down payment. Jay was our sales contact at American Windows and he was absolutely great. He has an engaging personality, and kept all his commitments to us. We appreciated that when installation day came, he swung by to ensure all was going well. Oh, how did the installation go? It was fantastic. Not only did the windows and door come earlier than promised, the American Windows crew came on time and worked quickly and professionally.

He gave us repair ideas, explained potential causes, pointed us toward the right tools, and gave us contacts who could help. To top it off, his cuddly dog Wilson kept us company, and Phil even recommended a local spot for lunch since he knew we had a long drive. We are completely speechless at his kindness and support, despite not even being paying customers. Based on this first impression, we would work with Phil any day. The world needs more people like him!

The biggest issue was the rot at our dormers, leading to insects getting inside. Our gutters were also not draining rain well and needed to explore larger/better gutters as the rain in some parts came down hard close to our foundation. This was a costly project that we knew would have to take priority. I messaged Dream through Yelp, and though I was hesitant since there weren't many reviews here, I took a chance since Google showed quite a few excellent reviews. To my surprise, someone responded and called me immediately and was able to send someone out the same day for an estimate. Sean, who worked with us on our estimate, was on-time, friendly, and low pressure. He provided an estimate to repair all of the original wood trim and recommended to encase it in aluminum. The contract was very well outlined and we felt it was a fair price. The most important part for me was that it did not feel like there were any games to play, as I was expecting/fearful of this from researching window related jobs. The work team first dropped off supplies -- everything was organized so cleanly on our driveway. The next day, they showed up before 7:30am and continued to do so the rest of the week. I have never seen a team to dedicated and punctual. They showed up early DAILY and left late DAILY, were polite, and even came on the weekend to wrap things up and clean up. Everything was done with great detail and they even helped us put up our new house number plate without hesitation. I could tell from that they care about their clients and their happiness. The gutter team finished their work within a few hours... so under a day of work! Also, Sean showed up personally a couple of times to talk through our contract and estimate when we needed clarification; we appreciated the efforts he made, without any second thoughts, to visit and explain everything face to face. Because of their proven, trustworthy work, consistent follow up, and honest pricing, we will definitely use them for windows as well. They never let us down and delivered everything on time which is rare for large projects. We really look forward to working with them for all future exterior needs -- they've won us as customers for life!

WORST CUSTOMR SERVICE EVER…read more Initial estiamte guy, Yura's measurements were wrong, so when the workers came, they had to measure them again. When they came back for the second time, they replaced the window nets/ screens for two windows and a frame. After they're gone, I realized that a window did NOT lock, so I had to call them again to come back to fix it. A week later, I opened a window shade to open a window, then realized that there was a gap between the window frame and a screen frame (see the picture). I texted their numbers with no answer for a week, so I called and talked to Yura who refused to come back to fix what they caused and insisted there was nothing they can do. This is the compay who claims themselves to be a PREMIER window company, which is just a joke. It's not worth investing time, eneryg, and money for this company, there are better ones out there, for sure.
