The Windows: Metropolitan sells windows from Marvin Windows and Doors. Marvin specializes in windows fabricated of fiberglass. Replacement windows are commonly built of wood (tend to rot), aluminum (strong, but lose heat), vinyl (tend to warp), and fiberglass. Fiberglass windows are more expensive, but are considered by many to be the best quality replacement windows available. Our house had ten original steel casement windows and two oversized wood casement windows. We purchased fifteen Marvin Infinity fiberglass windows (three doubles); thirteen of which we purchased as double hung and two we purchased as gliders. Marvin also offers single hung, casements, awnings, and hopper type windows. The Metropolitan Windows Company: Metropolitan is owned by the Schmotzer Family and has been in business since 1978. Family members include Dad John, Mom Maggie and Son Justin. Justin does the sales calls, John takes the measurements, and Maggie keeps things organized. We sent an e-mail to the four companies we were considering for the job. Maggie called the day we sent the e-mail and scheduled the sales call for three days later. No other company responded so quickly. Justin arrived exactly on time, spent a lot of time checking the job over, and provided a fixed bid before he left. He answered all our questions, knew and understood the product line, and even had a display model to show us how the double hung windows work. We decided on Metropolitan and the Marvin Infinity line and signed the contract. Note that Metropolitan only requires a portion of the payment upfront. The final, and larger, portion is due upon completion of the work. John made an appointment a few days after we signed to take measurements. Since our existing windows were so old, installing the new windows was not simple. John spent time with us to explain our installation options. One of our major concerns was the sills as our old windows had wide marble sills which were perfect for potted plants. John designed composite sills nearly as wide and able to support the plants. Maggie was responsible for making and coordinating the appointments, placing the order with Marvin and keeping us informed of the order status. We were told it would take between seven and eight weeks to build all of the windows and schedule the installation. Note that they beat this estimate by two weeks; they were on-site and installing in five weeks. The Installation: Maggie called and scheduled the installation and told us they would supply two crews so the job could be completed in one day and that we should expect the men to arrive between 8:00am and 8:30am. Two Metropolitan trucks with four men arrived at 8:00am, with all the windows and all the equipment and tools and materials needed to perform the work. We did a walk through with the team leader just to look at the windows that were to be replaced. Leader Sean was well informed about the job and was ready to start. The crews worked until 5:30pm with only a short break for lunch. They did not leave the site until all of the work was completed. They laid down drop cloths on the floors and all nearby furniture and removed each old window. They then placed and anchored each new window, foamed each in place to assure a leak-free installation, installed trim strips, sills, mouldings, etc., all as required to complete each installation. Then they removed the adhesive labels, cleaned the panes, then pulled up the drop cloths, and vacuumed everywhere. When Metropolitan's crews left, our house was cleaner than it was when they arrived! And, Sean ran a little training course to show us how the windows work, how the panes are flipped for cleaning, and how the screens are installed. So how do the windows look? They look Great! The Marvin windows are obviously best quality, and Metropolitan's work was just wonderful. I would not hesitate to contract with them again, or to recommend them to others. read more

After receiving quotes, I chose Metropolitan Window Company over two other well-known and reputable replacement window companies in the Pittsburgh area, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! From the initial call from Maggie to schedule the sales consultant appointment to the days of installation, I was treated respectfully, professionally and as though I were a "regular" consumer who had been doing business with them for years. On 10/24/22, I placed my order for 15 replacement windows and was told it could take up to 6 months for installation. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed, but glad to know I wasn't getting your average, pre-fabricated product, but rather built to order replacement windows made from durable fiberglass. I received a call on 1/24/23, stating my windows were arriving and ready to be installed that week. The 3 installers arrived to my home at 8:00am on Friday, 1/27/23, laid protective coverings on the floors and any furniture in the vicinity of the windows then proceeded to remove and replace the windows room by room. They were very professional, personable and respectful of me, my home, and my cats. It ended up being a day and a half job, but everything turned out awesome! I received calls from John and Maggie to not only make sure I was happy with the product, but also checking to make sure their employees were courteous, respectful and cleaned up after they were done. I definitely recommend Metropolitan Window Company to replace your windows. I can't wait to contact them to arrange replacing my doors in the near future!​ read more

We needed a new front door and surrounding frame, as well as a new door for our basement entrance. Our home is a 1950s home that was not built entirely level, nor was the door a standard size. We had big-name companies even tell us that a door could not be made for our basement. But Metropolitan was able to figure out how to order a door and create a new frame so that the door would hang straight on a crooked house! Trust me- we went from on of the ugliest doors to a beautiful, high quality basement door. When I can home from work on the day my front door was installed, I actually cried because it looked so nice. If a door can make me cry, it must be top-notch! Lol! We got many estimates for our project, but none was as thorough as Metropolitan's. The other companies seemed like we had an allotted slot and were being rushed along so that they could make their next appointment. Every detail of the process was explained to us. Honesty is high on their list. We were even told "We probably are not going to be your cheapest estimate, because we do not cut corners.". From being welcomed and answering questions in the showroom, through the final steps for payment, the team at Metropolitan is as professional and trustworthy as you could ask for. We will be a returning customer for another set of doors and windows. read more

Where do I begin... John and Maggie are fantastic small business owners and we felt as we were treated so kindly by them. Debbie, our sales person was knowledgeable and attentive. Her follow up and attention to detail were truly special. Our installer Jim and his entire crew were polite, courteous, and clean. They got to work right away at 8:00 in the morning and by 11:00, they were cleaned up and on the road. Our 6 beautiful new Marvin Windows are exactly what we ordered, perfectly sized and installed with instructions on how to operate them as well as cleaning and maintenance. The reason we chose Metropolitan Window Company was the people! And we would hire them again in a heartbeat! Most companies use independent contractors and you never know who will show up at you home. With Metropolitan, they employ the crews and stand behind their work 110%!!! Should their be a problem or question I know I can call and get a response that day without jumping thru hoops and calling an 800 number. Thank you so much to the entire team, my wife and I are so happy and thankful for everything you have done. read more

A wonderful experience! I needed a new front window since mine was leaking, and old!! I don't live far from Metropolitan, so I stopped in, one day, after talking with Maggie on the phone. Carolyn explained the next steps, and we made an appointment for her to visit and get preliminary measurements. Matt came over a week or so later, and let me know when to expect the window. I was a little skeptical when he said it probably wouldn't come in for 3-4 months, but due to Covid, I understood, and needed to wait. It was worth it! Paul and his team arrived with the window and did an excellent job installing. My window is perfect, makes my room look much better, and everyone I had contact with at Metropolitan was professional and as nice as can be! When I am ready to replace the rest of the windows in my house, I won't hesitate to contact Metropolitan! They did an excellent job! If you need new windows, give them a call! read more

We are first time customers of Metropolitan Window Company, and I am just so pleased with their service and product. First they came in and laid down dropcloths! Perfect, as I was worried about our brand new carpet getting dirty. The two man crew was very polite and respectful and professional. Answered all our questions, and kept us posted on progress. They took their time and did it right. Excellent job!! They did a great job cleaning up, left no mess. Even took a blind we forgot to take down and wanted thrown away. I am so amazed when I walked past and looked out the front window this morning, I can SEE out it!! The old one was so foggy could hardly see out. Should have done this s year's ago. We have four more Windows and probably front door needs replaced and I will be ordering those in January,, from Metropolitan Window Company. I highly recommend them and their products.!! read more

My husband and I live in an older home near Pittsburgh and decided to renovate starting with our front entry door. Matt from Metropolitan came to our home and measured the door space. He assured us that we could have a custom built door and surrounding frame. We are thrilled with our new door. The installers were Josh and Armand who did an excellent job of installation and clean up. They were on time, professional and courteous. We also decided to purchase a new storm door and whole house windows from Metropolitan.and we are anxiously waiting for these products to be installed. We looked at the products from other companies and had several estimates. Metropolitan provides quality products and value. Maggie took the time to call us and ask if we were satisfied with our new door. We highly recommend Metropolitan! read more

Metropolitan did an excellent job on rendering services of the top quality and beautiful fiberglass windows I purchased from the salesman Matt, the measurer-owner John, phone answering Maggie and the installers Jim's team. Jim's team worked very fast, clean and professional on the day it was predicted to snow 2 to 4 inches but 9.5 inches fell. Yes, pandemic 2020! I expected something to go awry with the project but only the weather was bad. The guys had 14 windows in fast and the house was warm and we were all happy. I am glad I listened to Rob Pratt on KDKA when John and Justin Schmotzer were on explaining the fiberglass windows. I should have did it sooner. I would definitely recommend Metropolitan. read more

Metropolitan Window Company did a great job from beginning to end. The ordering process was easy (they came to our house) and installation was neat, organized and professional. They installed in early February on a nice winter day and they were done in one day. The windows are expensive but the quality is excellent and worth every penny. We have a nice home and didn't want to put in just any replacement window. We think we got the best product around at a competitive price compared to other window companies. Don't go cheap on window replacements! Metropolitan beat Renewal by Anderson price and the windows are nicer quality! The customer service from beginning to end can't be beat! read more

I have used Metripolitan twice - once at my previous residence (new patio door) and now in my current residence (new windows and patio door.) Both experiences have been stellar. Not only do they sell and install a superior product, but they do it in a timely, neat, professional and friendly manner. They clearly a family owned and operated business, as they take pride in their work, are honest, and consider customer service to be of upmost importance. Their pricing and warrantees are very competative as well. I would never recommend any other window/door company. If you are in search of a superior product at competative prices, you should contact them. You won't be sorry! read more

If I could give more stars, I would. My experience with Metropolitan Window Company was outstanding! I was getting the run around from other companies and decided to give Metropolitan Windows a try. I am so glad I did. It began with the door getting measured once, then check for final measurements a few days later, to finally having the door installed two months earlier than expected. The team was professional, prompt, and knowledgeable about their products. I felt at ease with such a large purchase and do not have any hesitation using this company again. My door is beautiful and will be telling everyone about this company and the stellar service they provide. read more

This is the second time I have used Metropolitan Windows and I can't say enough good things about this company. They replaced all my windows four years ago and last month they put in a new front door and three large glass doors across the back of my condo. They are very professional, friendly and do an excellent job in cleaning up after themselves, in fact, I didn't have to do anything once they left. M. W. is a family owned business which is a huge plus in my book. I got great service from Justin, my sales rep and was always treated very well when I called in. Without a doubt, the best company I've dealt with in this area. Debbie Greene read more

We had our second set of windows installed by Metropolitan around the end of July. It was another large job that was done extremely well. Jim and his crew had 3 very large windows installed in a little over 4 hours. Not only did they do an expert install but they cleaned up with almost no trace of debris left behind. The icing on the cake was that they gave us a hand to rehang two very heavy blinds over the 2 largest windows and gave my wife and I a chance to get a head start in getting the room back to normal. John, Maggie, and Justin you have our gratitude on another job well done!! Jim & Kathy P. Beaver. read more

Maggie, Justin and Missy were all excellent to work with. Full replacement windows for subpar Pella Windows that were originally installed when the house was new. The windows look and perform exceptionally. This is the 2nd time (different window location) that we had Metropolitian windows replace sub-par quality Pella (High Performance) windows. Price and quality was the reason we decided to use Metropolitan windows over 3 other local window companies. The installers were prompt, courteous and took necessary precautions with the Hardwood floors. Kept the working area clean. read more

We are first time customers of Metropolitan Window Company. We purchased a custom size Infinity by Marvin fiberglass sliding French door with transom window above it. The sales team were very knowledgeable and professional. The door with bronze hardware is top quality, beautiful, fit perfectly, arrived in the promised time frame and was worth the price. The installers' craftsmanship on the door trim inside and out was exceptional and they were very professional. We plan to use this reliable, local company for future door and window projects and highly recommend them. read more

Without reservation I recommend MWC. Their products are exceptional (we had to have a large picture window with special molding ordered) and their personalized service is what everyone wants but few get in today's environment. The two installers, Rich and Jim, were prompt, personable, and ensured the room was as clean when they left as when they arrived. John, Maggie, Matt, and Guy (salesman) followed up along the way to ensure everything was on track and acceptable. Should you need windows, doors, or related products you will find nobody better than this company! read more

An excellent experience from ordering through installation. An initial comprehensive analysis of our needs followed by two independent measurements to insure accurate fit provided a detailed proposal that was cost competitive. Installation was on the date promised with a crew that was prompt, polite and attentive to keeping the installation debris controlled followed by a careful cleanup which left us with a clean and much warmer house. A company that cares and delivers for its customers - what the process should be. read more

Our new windows look great and are simple to operate. The installers were very professional and made the installation process go smooth and quick. Paul was very well versed on the installation process. He made it look so easy and when finished the cleanup he performed was phenomenal. I will recommend Metropolitan to my friends and family and we are sure they won't be disappointed. The cost was very much inline with other companies we talked with, but we are most pleased we went with Metropolitan. read more

We love our new doors! From the first meeting with Justin to the install they were so accommodating. Justin took a lot of time helping us pick the perfect doors for our home. We had another major project going on at the house so they were very patient in holding our order. Once we were ready the doors were here within a few weeks. The installers were super friendly and did a great job. There were zero problems. I can't say enough good things about this company. read more
