My wife and I chose Window & Door Pro to replace eight very large custom leaky windows in our Soho loft apartment. I received quotes from several different companies, but I chose Window & Door Pro, in spite of the fact that they were not the lowest priced option for several reasons.
After meeting with their President, Chris Amplo, I was convinced that if any problem arose (eg. wood rot under existing windows, unexpected wiring and plumbing in a window frame, etc.), they were going to get this done is a professional, high-quality manner and that I would not receive a change order. I also chose Window & Door Pro because they sell and install windows from a wide variety of manufacturers, and I wanted to make the right choice for my needs rather than accept the windows that the other companies were selling. Chris convinced me that Marvin windows, while more money, was the best quality, given the size of the eight windows. Lastly, my building is particularly sensitive to how contractors behave in our building in terms of noise, debris and other inconveniences. Chris told me that he didn't use subcontractors, and his people understood how buildings like mine operate.
I contracted Windows & Door Pro for the windows which included all of the filings with Landmark Preservation as well as ordering permits from the New York City Department of Buildings.
During the installation process they found enough bad surprises (lots of wood rot) that extended the installation time from seven business days to three weeks. They implemented those additional repairs without handing me a change order. The quality of the work was amazing. The companies project manager, Chris Tomasino communicated with both my building manager and me prior to and during the installation. Michael Bonade, the lead installer protected the floors, furniture and art and gave me daily updates on the progress. Last and not least, I received calls from neighbors complimenting this vendor.
So....winter is coming and my wife and I have new Marvin windows that no longer leak, that open and close easily, and I have no battle scars from the installation. Thank you Windows & Door Pro. read more
