At first it was a dream that turned into a nightmare with this incompetent install company. I could write a long winded post about how truly awful the whole experience was but I'll keep it short and simple. Do yourself a favor if you're looking for new windows to be installed please look elsewhere. Steer far far far away from this sorry excuse of a company. Here are pictures of the "finished product" afterwards dents and all...

Bow window with wood and fiberglass trim!

WOW!! Just WOW!! I thought I was going to come home to just a new "bow window;" I was wrong. As soon as I pulled up to my house, I was startled by just how beautiful this window is. The craftsmanship, the quality, the beauty of it all, I was simply amazed. When I walked inside my house, I was even more surprised at just how beautiful this new bow window with the oak wood and finishes looked; simply gorgeous. My house looks "healthier" just by appearance on the outside and the inside. Thank you to Window Source, and especially the contractors, Joe P and Freddy, who completed the job, not only with perfection, but cleanliness, tidiness, and with great enthusiasm. Five Stars is not enough for how impressed we are with our new window, Window Source. Thank you Richard Puopolo and your wonderful team, including Aleea, who kept in touch and was very personable and helpful throughout this process. Just WOW!!!

Old bow window transformed into 5 double hung windows.  The bow look still remains.  Half the price.  Thanks Rich

Wonderful Work We had a great experience with Window Source. Rich did a great job giving us several options for our bow window. The proposal perfectly fit our budget. The installer team was on time and prepared well. They did a great job and were extremely clean. They left the job areas spotless. I couldn't ask for the whole project to go so well. All in all the team replaced 13 windows in about 5 hours. I would recommend WS to anyone. Thanks

After doing a bit of online research and getting a few quotes, I decided to have the Window Source RI replace a bay window and a basement 'hopper' window for me. Both were sorely in need of replacement. Every employee I interacted with from the person who answered the phone to the salesman to the installation crew was extremely knowledgeable friendly and courteous. The one person who really sold me was the owner, he not only came out and measured the windows himself BUT he also stayed the whole install to ensure that it was done right. Can't say enough about this company.

Richard is a genuine guy who isn't trying to upsell you or cut corners. I needed a bow window replaced and not only was his price cheaper than other competitors, Richard's advice was spot on and I am so glad I chose to go with his company. The quality of the window is more than I expected. Additionally, the crew is hardworking, friendly and timely. I really can't say enough about Window Source. Give them a call, their quotes are free and you can see for yourself the professionalism and expertise that they have to offer.

Have called, left messages, sent emails, keep getting the same answer "someone will call within 24 to 48 hours". Never got a call back. Paid a higher price thinking I would get a better product and better support. The roof was done quickly and seems to be a good product, but the support is absolutely terrible... Better off elsewhere...can't recommend them with such poor follow up. FOLLOW UP: After posting this review, they came out and saw the issue and said they would be back to fix it. A few days later a couple guys came out, ripped off the warping shingles and replace them. I will give it a couple days to settle in and post new pictures of the repair. For now I will up their rating to 3 stars, still a little perturbed that it took a negative review to get a response, but if the repair is good, I will be fair and update it again. As promised...follow up...the repairs seem decent and, after a struggle, they fulfilled their end of the deal, so i will give them 4 stars . Thank you for finally getting the job done.

I am writing this review based on the quoting and sales/purchasing process, as I have not yet…read morereceived the windows I purchased, or had them installed yet. I will absolutely plan to update this review through the lifetime of the project and my windows, which I am very excited for. When you buy something you usually know instantly if you have nervous feelings (second guesses) about your decision, or if you made the right one. Right now I can confidently say I feel like I made the right one, and in actuality should have made my decision sooner. So far I have nothing but good things to say about Venture Window. The quoting process has been very straightforward, and easier than other companies I tried to get quotes through. My sales person, Scott, has been professional, honest, courteous, and dependable from the start. I have gotten other quotes from other companies and found them to be overly salesy (and some of them quoting insane prices) but Venture Window, and Scott, pretty much tell it like it is with no sugarcoating. Venture Window also had extremely competitive pricing for the tier/range of window that I wanted (mid tier). Venture Window is different from other window companies because I felt like they were the most human, and I can say I interacted with a lot of companies before making this important decision. I felt like Venture, represented by Scott, was empathetic to the reasons for my purchasing a window and more importantly to my budget. Rather than getting a one-size-fits-all glammed up sales pitch complete with a free pen and keychain, I instead got a professional conversation, two-way dialog, and some honest and valuable education on windows, to meet the specific needs I was looking to solve for (energy efficient and budget-friendly) which totally demonstrates the caliber of the staff. Another word to describe Scott is patient, which created a sense of ease in the purchasing process. There was not a moment that I felt rushed through the entire purchasing experience, and my purchasing decision probably took longer than most people. I had a chance to visit the showroom before my final purchase decision to physically compare the windows. There is quite a huge selection from to the most basic/budget-friendly window, up to the most premium cadillac of windows. They had a lot of unique windows like skylights and the fancier natural wooden ones. It was really valuable for me to see the windows in person to be able to see how they open, tilt inward, the locking mechanisms, and the construction, to see the differences in the windows that I had the options of choosing. There is only so much you can understand from a brochure. In the showroom, Scott explained the subtle differences between the windows (things you can see, as well as things you cannot), as well as how the windows I was considering differed from the most budget-friendly option, for comparison sake. This was a good learning experience because it shows that in many ways the statement 'you get what you pay for' is so true, while in other ways, any new window will be better than my current 110-year-old, super drafty and rickety windows. For example, did you know ALL windows must be manufactured to a certain minimum quality standard? I did not know this before working with Venture. I was glad to visit the showroom because I could see that for the price, the option I selected is of good quality. In fact they seem more durable and sturdy than a lot of windows in places I've lived before, or the windows in friends/family members' houses. Once I literally felt the quality and construction of the window, I could tell that I was making the right decision. If you care about your crazy heat bills and are wanting to some modernity, like me, you can't go wrong with Venture. I'm very much looking forward to getting these windows installed and the added comfort and energy efficiency that will come along with them. Will definitely update this review after installation.

TLDR: high prices for poor quality control and even worse installation. They would be ok for a low…read moreend home, if you are desperate or if you plan to sell soon. You would probably be better off at a big-box hardware store. Full Read: Door to door sales should be your first clue that this company will underperform. If their product and service is so great, why are they out soliciting?? Unfortunately, I was stupid and fell for it and now want to help prevent others from falling into the same trap. It started back in July when I was doing some yardwork and their door to door guy ended up on my lawn. He seemed nice so I didn't immediately toss him and after a few mins of chatting I found out that they do patio doors; something that I was in need of. I thought it was serendipity, but it turns out it was just stupidity. When you meet the sales people, they expect you to have both partners available. Yet another clue that they are scammers but I didn't care and told them we'd both be there even though I knew it would be just me. The salesperson, Melissa, was actually knowledgeable, helpful and creative (at least I thought) and after about an hour I decided to pull the trigger on an $8000 door. The install date was set for October. My FIL sat at the house for us during the install by their 20 year old expert and sadly I came home to find multiple issues. Poor quality manufacturing was my #1 complaint. There were staple holes every 12" around the door frame, there are globs of silicone at the corners, there was no grommet for the kick lock, a poorly drilled hole for the kick lock, they left a gap between the cabinets and the trim with visible demo work and screws, the threshold is not colormatched and must be stained (never mentioned), they ignored the alarm wiring from the previous door and buried it in the wall creating a fault in the alarm system, and the interior grill rattles like crazy when you close the door. The door did slide really easily though. I get in touch with Melissa in sales and she assured me that they will make it right and satisfaction is their #1 goal. I had to speak to 3 different managers (one was in Florida) and even have one come out and do an inspection (more time out of work to meet). They all agreed it was defective and they would redo it. Door was remanufactured and a vnew date set for November. They had to cancel for that day and push it back a week...annoying yet again because I had taken a day out of work. They finally come to put the new door in and it's just the glass doors. They did nothing to remedy the gap in the trim, the alarm or the visible demo work, but they did add a grommet for the kick lock. The new doors also came with staple holes, globs of silicone and loud rattling interior grills. My wife was home and immediately pointed out the staple holes. The installer says "they all come like this and they have to be patched with putty." Not 1 of the 3 managers I spoke to including the one that came to do the inspection said this. So basically they gave me new doors that were the same as the old doors that they could have just added some putty. In the end, it feels like no one really knows what they are doing. Amateurs at best but at premium pricing. With all of the companies out there, I feel like I was ripped off for what I got. I'd have been just as well off going to the local big_box hardware place and having them do the job for half the cost.
