Our house is over 20 years old and windows were starting to go. We spent a lot of time looking at different companies and products. We had replaced all the interior casings a couple of years ago on all the downstairs windows with heavy moldings. We didn't want to replace those and Ambia was the only company we talked to that gave us confidence they could handle the job. We found Ambia through Home Stars where they got good reviews. The sales experience went very well - Tony came out at a time that was convenient for us, he was very professional and took the time to explain the product and find the best solution to our needs. He even met us met us a Window CIty showroom to review all the products. In the end, we chose the Heritage slim line window – the windows are all narrow and this style maximizes the glass area and doesn't have that bulky retro-fit look.
The solution Tony came up with was to split the frame and install inserts - this preserved the original casings. Other companies were reluctant to do it this way or failed to even to understand what we were asking for.
Tony's quote was also very competitive compared to the others.
The key to any reno is the people doing the work. Tony has a great team of installers and the installation went smoothly. They cleaned up after each day and removed all the debris. They were very careful not to damage the casings while splitting the window frame and found the right wood trim to finish where the old window met the new. The end job was just what we hoped for.
Tony came and inspected before final payment. The windows look great inside and out and performed well through the winter.
We would highly recommend Tony and Ambia windows.
