Frustrating experience with incomplete repairs, poor communication, licensing issues, and…read moreundisclosed installation methods. I hired Performance Windows for a full window replacement at my home in Reno. They offered free labor because the home was supposed to be used as a display/advertising house. We financed the project through a third-party lender. From the beginning, there were problems: * The itemized invoice lacked a clear breakdown of materials versus labor. * When I requested the contractor's license, they gave me a Nevada license number belonging to a different company (Sky View Windows and Doors) that was suspended at the time for a DIR violation. They also provided an expired Utah license for the lead installer. After repeated requests and verification through the Nevada State Contractors Board, the Sky View license was eventually reinstated, but the lack of transparency was concerning. * Performance Windows operates mainly as a sales company and uses Sky View as the installation crew. This was not clearly explained upfront. * They did not disclose that they would overlay the new windows onto the old existing surrounding wood frames. When the old windows were removed, this loosened those wooden frames from the wall and created gaps. Those gaps later caused leaks. After installation, multiple repairs were needed: * A sliding door screen needed replacement (this was eventually completed). * A dining room window started leaking after heavy rain. The crew sealed the original wood panel that had been ripped out during the initial install. The sealant had to dry before testing, so I still don't know if the leak is truly fixed. * Bathroom and laundry room windows were supposed to get proper frame replacements. Instead, the installer only cut plastic pieces, which exposed holes. The smaller bathroom windows still do not open fully -- they claim this is "part of their design." * There was also a gap in the flooring caused by the smaller slider door installation. Beyond the repairs, the overall performance of the new windows has been disappointing: * Even though the windows may look better, our house is noticeably hotter than it was with the old windows. * We are now getting bugs coming into the house. Communication and scheduling were consistently poor: * Appointments were missed or delayed. * On one visit, the installer arrived late, a different crew showed up first with no knowledge of the other repairs, and the main installer forgot several items and had to leave mid-visit to buy supplies at Home Depot. * The crew often seemed rushed to finish and leave. While the sliding door screen was eventually replaced, the overall handling of the project has been disappointing. Multiple issues remain unresolved or only partially addressed. The combination of incomplete work, undisclosed installation methods, performance problems, and lack of professionalism made this a stressful experience. I would not recommend Performance Windows. If you're considering them, verify their contractor licensing status independently through the Nevada State Contractors Board, ask detailed questions about their installation method (especially whether they overlay onto existing frames), and get everything in writing before signing.

He proposed my "beautiful home" for their advertising campaign. I would be responsible for 50% of the cost, provided I agreed to post a sign in my yard for 6 months advertising their business, wrote up a positive review about their installation and the windows themselves, and agree to have my home photographed for up to a year for their advertising, no compensation to me. I listened to the whole speech without interrupting. He looked at a good time today (during the Holidays) to see when he could send someone over to go over options.

Complaints against Legacy Windows Deceptive Sales Tactics…read more* Told that trim would be replaced by like trim in event it was broken--company only had MDF upon installation. * Not informed that the transition on the floor was not part of the install. * Told that sliding doors would have security lock on bottom and not just on the handle * Told sliding doors would be easy to open * Told we were a "promotional" house and would get a discount if we made a decision on the spot. No before-and-after pictures or reviews were ever procured from us as originally stated in the sales pitch. Substandard Work Quality * No post install inspection. This alone could account for a lot of the problems. There's not an eye for detail or quality. * Many sills and windows visibly bowed * Some windows have gaps at corners of screen due to bowing where bugs can get in * Clear caulk used shows gaps & bowing clearly * Caulk tracked on floor in home * Broken wood trim left and not replaced * Wood trim replaced with MDF * Where some wood trim was removed, installers used our own personal wood to replace without paying us for the wood * Some sills stick awkwardly far into the room or stick tackily past existing trim blocking furniture, blinds, etc. Installers just stuck in sills without any thought or asking about preferences. * Bulges of plastic and other imperfections left on windows along with globs of caulk on glass that needed to be cleaned. * Had to sand sills ourselves, otherwise the edges would be sharp and tacky. * Gaps in installed wood had to be filled in with wood paste, left to us to do that. * Difficult-to-remove non-warranty and non-informational stickers left on windows for us to figure out how to remove. Broken Windows * One sliding door is so sticky and hard to open that the wife needs both hands & full weight to open. In the event of an emergency children would not be able to open the sliding door to escape. * One window is crooked and gets stuck at the last inch when closing (which has pinched and injured fingers). This window cannot pull out for cleaning as advertised because it is too tight in the frame. Evasive Customer Service * Forced to pay day of installation and sign paper that said all windows in working order despite being told that we were not to open the windows for at least 24 hours * Installer repeatedly blamed our old house and detail-oriented nature for window problems instead of fixing them (note that half the windows replaced previously had retrofit windows, which did not have the bowing problems listed above) * Installer came out to install a missing screen. We had a number of things we wanted him to look at. Instead he bolted without talking to us (stating we might not have been home, but there was no attempt to talk to us). He should have been given a list of things we wanted looked at, so either there's bad communication or purposeful incompetence. * Repeated requests to talk to a manager/owner were ignored. It appears the warranty is worth nothing if Legacy Windows will not even come and replace broken windows upon installation. Update: After successfully holding back 25% of the payment through the credit card company nearly two months after installation, the company sent out another team to "fix" things. This team seemed more competent than the first and replaced some caulk, squirted the equivalent of WD-40 in the sliding door to make it slide a little easier, fixed the bowing of a couple of windows, and somewhat fixed the window that was getting stuck when closing. At this point there was not much that could be done for anything else and we didn't really want the windows ripped out again to put in flat sills, etc. We have no desire to ever deal with this company again and we are warning others of our horrible experience so you hopefully don't end up in the same situation.

While I think they did a good job and I like their products, they were super expensive and I still had 14 more windows that needed to be replaced. In May of this year I started to seriously consider getting the rest replaced. Enter Alpine Exteriors. They provided the third bid and landed in the middle price wise. They were considerably less expensive than Champion (no surprise) and slightly more expensive than a no name company that came out selling cheap quality windows. But Alpine Exteriors quality, service, and selection really stood out. I met with the owner, Hiram Molloy, at my home and there was zero sales pressure and no games. He has access to a number of different windows at all different price points, so he was able to find something in my budget and a quality I was happy with. They were installed a couple weeks ago and that was the real test. I'm pretty OCD and I want perfection. I'm never fully satisfied because that would be impossible, but the installers did a nice job. They were friendly and detail oriented. I asked a lot of questions and spent a fair amount of time watching the install and they were courteous and obviously knew what they were doing. They also cleaned up the mess and used preventative measures around my furniture to keep the mess at a minimum. Upon final cleanup they collected all the stickers from the windows and placed them on copy paper so I could apply for the rebate. Hiram followed through on his promise and mailed me all the rebate paperwork with instructions. If you are looking for a quality window company that offers a competitive price and does what they say they are going to do, look no further than Alpine Exteriors.

If I could throw another star their way, I would. But Yelp limits me to five. There's something magical about sitting by an open window, feeling the gentle breeze. I have not been able to experience that in the past few years, as the windows in my house have been broken and unable to open. So I finally bit the bullet and reached out to HomeStar Windows and Doors to get a bid to replace them. Dave came out to measure and gave me a bid promptly. He did not put on the pressure, but gave me options-"good, better, best" and thoroughly explained the difference. We decided to go through with the replacement and got on the schedule. We also decided to replace the blinds with shutters and asked to coordinate the installation to happen around the same time. Well, the windows were ready to be installed sooner than we anticipated, and Dave offered to cover the cost of having the old blinds taken down and reinstalled so we could go ahead with the window installation before the shutters. It also landed on a day that we would be out of town, so they offered to text me when they arrived and then again when they left for the day. It was nice to get those updates so I was aware of when people would be in my house. When we returned home, the new windows were in and all the old ones were taken away. It made my life easy! All I needed to do was put furniture back that I had moved for them. There were also some holes in walls that I'll need to patch that looked like had been made when the windows were removed. And now, I sit by an open window (that I was able to open with one finger rather than the gargantuan effort it used to take) and enjoy the nice breeze. I shouldn't have waited so long.

I stood at the front desk and again waited for just a few minutes when another employee asked if I was being helped.
