JC came out to our house, showed us all of the available options, and took the time to walk us through the entire process. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and made everything very easy. The new awning canvas looks fantastic and really complements the house. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! The installation team was equally impressive--friendly, professional, and efficient. They completed the job quickly and did a great job. I would absolutely recommend Window Works to anyone looking for new or replacement awnings. Great people, great service, and a great finished product!

He is a true professional, spoke clearly about the solution and was ready to offer alternatives as well. I wish that the other companies I deal with in the Essex Fells area would treat their customers the way this company does: like they are in business to help homeowners solve their problems. This company clearly takes pride in their service to the community.

There is a series of negative reviews below which really surprise me. I've only had great…read moreexperiences with this business. I think I know what the problem is which I will state later in this review. ABSOLUTELY BEST PRICES They absolutely have the best prices in northern New Jersey. How do I know? Well, it's sort of my job to know. I've literally gone to every single flooring/tiling store and Speedwell has beaten them all, sometimes by a very significant margin. If you don't believe me, call any store and get a quote on a piece of flooring. A lot of them will say they don't quote over the phone. (That's double-speak for we want you to come down and then hopefully, when you hear the price, you'll be too lazy to go back to the cheaper place and you'll just order then and there. What's crazy is that this actually works. Ask car dealers.) Think about this observation I made about them. Their normal prices are better than the sale prices of other places. It makes my job easier since I don't have to always comparison shop because I know I'm going to get the best price. I still do time to time to make sure but it's always cheaper. WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG I think the reason for the negative reviews is that this business does a lot of business with commercial buyers who buy in bulk. (Thus, the cheap prices.) They don't do as much business with residential customers so they don't have their own in-house installation crew. They sub-contract the work and that is the problem. They try to find good people but quality control is pretty tough when you are subcontracting the work out. This is probably the reason why there are so many complaints about the workmanship. Speedwell isn't overseeing the work so they can't control the results. Speedwell probably just offers installation as more of a "favor" to residential customers. (I'm not sure of this but I'm just speculating.) If I were them, I would just sell floor products rather than include installation. It's the better business model. But, what do I know, right? SELECTION AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE The ladies in the store are absolutely the nicest people you'll meet. They let me take their only sample piece over the weekend so I could bring them to job sites. My designer could now see if the sample piece's color truly matches the room's surrounding fixtures. That's really great customer service. Their store has a real wide range of products to choose from and the ladies' technical knowledge is solid. What's more important is taste and they've made some great suggestions in the past. BUY THE MATERIALS HERE. FIND YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL. This is how you save a few hundred/thousand bucks. The contractor is not going to go looking for the best price like you will. But, they do get a slightly discounted contractor's price sometimes so when you go shopping around, just say that you're a designer and you want the contractor's price. Not so hard, is it? I'm a property manager so I have previously used contractors lined up to install the product. I suggest you guys to look for contractors that will just do the install. To find good contractors, ask to take a look at work projects that they have done a year or two ago. (Newly installed product will almost always look good; the bad quality reveals itself over time. Look really close and be anal.) If you still want to use Speedwell's subcontractors, ask them to only suggest contractors that they absolutely know to be awesome. I'm sure they will tell you the truth. They really are nice people.

We initially went to a big box in Dover, and the salesperson clearly did not know what she was doing, took nearly 3 weeks to give us an estimate, and by that time, their "special discount" had expired. Someone recommended Special Additions, and we quickly received an estimate, ordered the cabinets and counter top, and in about 2 weeks, received the order. Our salesperson, Steve, was extremely helpful, organized, answered all of our questions, and guided us through the entire process. Everyone we came in contact with was very helpful and friendly.

Fabulous service from Marie and John! Professional, thoughtful recommendations, great communication from start to finish. Pricing was fair and they are available in case we experience any problems. The blinds turned my bedroom into an oasis of calm and made the room appear much larger than the square footage. Best installation experience, including clean up, and John offered to remove our old materials. Berkeley Heights only has bulk pickup once a year so this was an unexpected plus. We are saving for the next project! Super satisfied and grateful!

The glass indeed arrived in 3 weeks and and a few days later my broken window was fixed. I do recommend Basking Ridge Glass because they did a good job, but I wonder if there is a company that can fix a broken window faster.
