Eli did a fantastic job, not only teaching me about the options I had but making me feel comfortable that the decision I made was entirely my own. Absolutely no high pressured sales or gimmicks, just straightforward pricing and honest information. *Chefs kiss!* Once I committed, WU literally sent me an email every single week keeping me posted about the status of my windows as they were manufactured. Even after the windows were made, I still received a weekly email until they were ready to schedule us. The installers, Lou, Jon, and Calvin, were nothing short of professional and kind people. Not only did they do a fantastic job of removing the old windows and installing the new ones, but they cleaned up absolutely every speck of dirt that accumulated from the install. My home was even cleaner than when they arrived!! I absolutely love my new windows and loved the entire process. I cannot recommend them enough!! 10 out of 10!

We will be using this company in a few weeks for our front door and sliding glass door! **Update to this last post** 8/21 we had our front door and sliding glass door replaced and the team that was sent out Calvin, Zack, Drew and Will also did a great job!

They were very professional which has been a long time since I have seen men who do good business. The installer name Tim, was very polite and his assistant also was polite. They did not disrupt nor offend the neighbors by crossing any boundary lines and they worked fast. They did not make too much noise. Nothing out of the ordinary of what to be expected. They installed within the time frame they promised and payment was easy to process and straight forward. They look you in the eye which is a good sign of confidence in what they do and nothing to hide. I'm very pleased with the windows and they are excellent quality! This is truly a good company to do business with. I highly recommend! 5 star! A+

I was asked if there would be a significant other attending sales pitch meeting and I politely indicated I'm a single mom and will make the final decision myself. Yet, I understood the reason behind the inquiry and had no problems with it. The sales guy was straight to the point didn't really try to sell me the product just provided information regarding the product and answered questions I had accordingly. Which I was grateful for! He let me know that there would be about an 8-week fabrication Lead time which I was fine with. The windows did end up ready for installation within that time frame. Empire graciously set the installation date according to my schedule. And I can't rave enough about the three person team who came out and completed the install. Dave and his crew were on time, addressed my concern about placing down floor protection- which they had already anticipated. They were knowledgeable with the product and how to install the windows and the back patio door. Hard consistent workers, there was no downtime during the install. the framework after the bay window was removed was done very professionally and looks amazing. They answered my questions professionally and didn't make me feel stupid for asking very simple questions at times. I cant say enough about this crew, I hope they see this review and see how appreciative this single mom is. They cut no corners and provided exceptional install service that gives this mom a peace of mind! Plus they graciously accepted to take a photo in front of my new front windows!! Thanks Empire for the new windows and patio door!

The windows are not worth the price from the supplier that was used for one of my windows. Odd how…read moreonly 7 of 8 windows are still like brand new but one I consider defective and the supplier does not agree. Thing is on their letter to me they could not even identify the window properly so one has to wonder what they are even thinking of when their windows do not last 100 years or a lifetime! The one window does have defects and they denied a claim. I hope they at Empire Window Company do more than try to sell my mother a new window as they said they would look at the window for a fee but she and I declined their services and tried to check on the warranty thinking it might be more valid. I am only glad I and mother went with a new window company for the last 9 windows. They even mailed her a warranty paper as she requested! Better service from a new company! That is what happens when a shoddy window somehow gets past the supplier check points, they cost Empire Window Company a lot of money! I would have given Empire a 5 star if nothing had happened to the window but something did and explanation by their supplier from 2005 was very poor as I had sent at least 7 pics showing mother's proof of ownership and condition of window that I cleaned just as careful as all the rest including all the new ones. I used expensive soap and water on all windows and dry with microfiber materials that do not smear or scratch as brand new look is admired. I hope Empire gets better suppliers in future from anyplace on the planet!

I also understand that I am going to have to talk to vendors that are trying to make money off me and I am going to have to listen to their spiel and haggle with them. And then deal with several other people along the way before the job actually gets completed. After my experience with Window Nation, I don't think I can honestly recommend that anyone else purchase windows from them unless they are prepared to deal with all the hassle up until you get the actual windows. Knock on the door from an ill prepared salesman who said they were in the area that day. Had to haggle about the price and were offered coupon after coupon (price without any of the coupons was astronomical). We were offered a cruise we had to pay for (not a free cruise, only a voucher for a company that offers cruises to people who make large home improvement purchases). Huge lack of communication from the company until the actual day of the install (we had to call them several times about the cruise voucher, about a receipt, about scheduling; things were really only taken care of once the owner of the company got involved and handled things). We were given no direction to move furniture or window treatments prior to installation. Day of install was great, aside from my husband having to move all the furniture out of the way and take all the window treatments down because the installers are not allowed to do any of that, and aren't even allowed to help. Installers were professional and efficient, covered all our stuff with plastic, and didn't leave a mess behind when they left. Seriously, other than the furniture being out of place and the new windows, I would have never known they were there when I got home. So if you choose to go with this company, beware of the process prior to actually getting the windows. The installers are great, the windows are great, but the company itself and the way they handle things can give you a big headache.

Three people came out to do measurements. None of these people told us there would be any problems installing the window. This was for one window that was going to be installed in one day. It took two months and I had to finish the work myself. Apparently ours was the first house that they had ever done a window replacement for that had vinyl siding. They took five weeks to finish the outside of the house because they needed to order replacement parts that were damaged during removal. They needed eight weeks to get replacement woodwork for the inside because (you guessed it) they damaged it during removal. If I hadn't had to consistently call to find out the status of the job, we'd probably still be waiting to get it finished. COMPLETE AMATEUR HOUR. Do your self a favor and find someone that can do the job right.

On top of that, the quality of their work is fantastic. Among other great things about their work, they did a beautiful job matching the existing wood molding in our home with the new construction they did on our bathroom. Price-wise, they were right in the middle of the road compared to the other estimates I received. Where things fell short for me was communication. I know contractor-client dynamics can be tricky, but as the project progressed, it became increasingly unclear what the actual timeline or next steps were. The project ran longer than the original estimate, and I was never given updated, reliable estimates for completion. (Part of this was due to scheduling inspectors which had nothing to do with Iron Castle, but even factoring in the inspection wait time, the project went beyond the initial estimate.) Toward the end, communication broke down and workers would show up on days without prior notice, even after I explicitly asked to be kept in the loop on scheduling. That was stressful because we had our work to take care of. Big picture: Iron Castle does high-quality, beautiful work, and they are good people. But while I love the finished product, the process of getting there was not what I would have expected.
