Windows Replacement

Horrendous Installation, Terrible Follow-Up Service until Complained to Owner

Important words of wisdom; if you choose to work with Max Green, make sure to check the interior of each window before they put the casing on to see if they fully insulated the window! This will be a little long, but there were so many mistakes made, it is necessary.

Looking at all the positive reviews, it looks like we were the unlucky ones to have a nightmare of a job with Max Green; I could not be more disappointed, frustrated, or angry at the installation job. This was the second time using these guys after they did a great job replacing a leaking window for us, so we thought we had nothing to worry about.

Alan was our installation lead. It was like pulling teeth to get them out to our house every step of the way. After the installation we noticed a lot of deficiencies in the exterior work: they missed caulking large portions of the windows on the exterior of the house, one basement window only had the top half caulked, they forgot to caulk the top of a window, multiple windows had gaps in the dapping on the interior, they didn’t properly fill the ½” gap of stucco they overcut below one window. They had to build a box for our basement bedroom windows as it is a deep window well and the wood they put in was poorly cut and had a ¼” gap between the casing and the wood that looked terrible.

It took three weeks for them to come out and do the touch-ups and after they left, the basement window that was half-caulked still had large gaps in the caulking, the ¼” over-cut stucco gap was still not properly filled, and they had to come back to put a new piece of wood to replace the poorly cut one in the deep window well.

Three weeks later (six weeks after installation) they had still not come so I decided to email management to get someone else out to finish Alan’s job; they apologized for the lack of service and sent Jim the installation manager out that night to look at the problems, but this is when the fun began. We were concerned that if their exterior work was so sloppy that the interior work was also lacking, and we were certainly correct on that. We asked the manager to take the casing off some of the windows to look at the installation job, and here’s what we found:

1) One of the deep window well boxes they constructed out of normal MDF instead of the medex wood we paid for. Normal MDF rots when exposed to moisture, medex does not. Combine that with the two foot gap they inexplicably left in the insulation above the window (which would create a cold spot and preferentially condense water), and we have a rotten window sill.
2) It turns out that the poorly cut piece of wood that was on the other deep window well was actually concealing a spot where they put their grinder through the fascia of the window. They used that extra piece of wood to conceal physical damage done to our window so we wouldn’t know.
3) The ten foot long basement window had zero insulation along the bottom of the window.
4) Almost every other window had insufficient insulation and had to be topped up.

Had they come and finished their touch-ups properly and a done them a couple days after the install, we never would have known about all the major deficiencies; how sloppy of an install they did, how many mistakes they made on the install. We would have been sitting around wondering why our basement was still so cold after spending so much money on new windows.

It is important to note that Jim the installation manager was great in addressing these problems, he offered to replace the damaged basement window free of charge, and he sent out Wes to address Alan’s crews many mistakes and deficiencies within a couple days of our complaint. Wes did a good job addressing all the mistakes made by Alan's crew.

I read the other reviews on this website, and one in particular that received a 100 dollar rebate for having a little dapping on the window they had to scrape off, and here we are SEVEN weeks after the installation with our walls with damaged drywall (which we now have to repaint at our own cost) from having to pull the casing off all the windows, three and a half additional days of repairs on a four day installation job, and all we have received in compensation is a “sincere apology.”

I really hope that this is a one-off disaster of an install, and not a symptom of what this company is becoming. Our first install we were treated with respect and everything was done well in a timely fashion; and they fired that guy. This one we were forgotten, deceived, and pushed aside until we complained to the owner.

Approximate cost of services:
$15,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Quality check their installer's work. Follow up with customers to ensure work was finished on time and adequately.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Take quotes from multiple companies.

Hi CW, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. As mentioned in my follow up with you directly, we are very embarrassed that poor quality like you received was able to slip through our typically very good quality control procedures. There is absolutely no excuse for it and we have discussed your project in depth internally and have made some changes to ensure that something like this does not happen again. I know that does nothing to change your past experience, but I hope that our commitment to quality is evident in how quickly we responded to your concerns once they were brought to our attention and the depth in which we went to ensure that everything was ultimately completed to our very high standards. I can assure you this is a one off situation that slipped through the cracks. All of Alan's crew's other projects have been done to our high standards, as is evident in our random quality control checks. It is very unfortunate for everybody involved that your project was not randomly checked and that there were quality issues that slipped through on your project. There is no excuse and we take full responsibility for what happened and can assure you that we will fully stand behind our 10 Year LEAK-PROOF Installation Warranty should you have any further questions or concerns about your new windows. Regards, Adam.

Front Door installation

In today's world consumers are in almost a desperate state to find that "old fashioned" attention to detail and top notch customer service. We have found that type of company for all our future Window and and Door installations. The sevvice was incomparable and the workmanship was exceptional. I will be sure to refer them to my family and friends.

Service

We had all of our windows replaced by MAXgreen late last fall. We have been very happy with them. A couple of windows needed minor adjustments due to the hot weather so I gave MAXgreen a call. Jim was here within a couple hours to make the adjustments and check the rest of the windows. I couldn't be happier with the service.

Window replacement

Just had two more windows replaced by MAXgreen Windows and Doors Ltd. From the measurements to the installation, their people are professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and pleasant to deal with. Great quality at a great price. Thanks to the prolonged winter we are already reaping the benefits of replacing two north facing windows. Looking forward to next spring and two more window replacements with MAXgreen.

windows

This is the fourth time we have used Maxgreen this time for 3 more Silex fiber glass windows. This installation was more difficult than usual due to the 2 x 8 battens surrounding the windows. The team did an excellent job again. During the initial visit the installer recommended tempered glass for the bottom panel of the windows that extended to the floor; we accepted his recommendation. One advantage of fiber glass is that the frame and sash can be painted so we again ordered a custom color to match our wall color. Silex did an excellent match again. We can highly recommend MacGreen as well as the Silex fiber glass windows.

Hi Doug, Thank you for your great review! The Silex Fiberglass Windows are a great product as we can get any of the thousands of Sherwin-Williams colours on the windows to match any decor or style desired. The strength and durability of the fiberglass products is another great feature, especially on larger windows. There are definitely a lot of tough installation jobs out there (like we faced with your battens) but our experienced Installation Technicians take their time to ensure a LEAK-PROOF installation, regardless of the specific job challenges! Thanks again for your continued support!

Window replacement.

Max Green recently replaced 4 windows in my house. Their installers were friendly and professional, going to extra lengths to deal with unexpected issues. The product is excellent quality and has significantly reduced cold transfer and outside noise. Price wise, Max Green has beaten every estimate I've gotten. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to replace windows or doors.

Hi Sharon, Thanks for your very kind review! We definitely go the extra mile on every project to handle all the curve balls that the many different types of old homes throw at us. There are so many variables with window replacements that it takes a very experienced team of skilled carpenters to ensure that every job results in a LEAK-PROOF installation. It is easy to say you deliver high quality, but very few installers can back that with a 10-Year LEAK-PROOF Installation Warranty. As for the price, I am thrilled to hear that we were able to save you money vs. the other quotes and still offer the highest quality installation, as that is not always the case. Usually, as is common with most products and services, you have to invest a bit more to get a higher quality product and service, but it does vary from home to home and window to window. Some companies cut corners to reduce prices, but that sacrifices your long term window or installation performance. We will NEVER cut corners or provide a product or installation we cannot stake our high quality reputation on. We feature an industry-leading 7-Stage LEAK PROOF Installation for one simple reason - Every Homeowner Deserves the Best. We certainly appreciate your recommendations! Don't forget to have your referrals let us know you referred them so we can make sure we get you your MAXrewards Referral Bonus cheques of $20 for EVERY window and door they replace, EVER! Thanks again for everything Sharon! Adam.

Window Replacement

We had all the windows replaced in our house. We couldn't be happier with the services provided. The installers were excellent. They cleaned up all their work areas every day. They made an effort to confine their work to specific areas of the house each day for minimal impact. The quality of installation was excellent, they paid attention to all the details. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Hi Jim, Thank you for taking the time to post your review on HomeStars! "Couldn't be happier" is certainly our goal for every single customer on every single project. We aren't happy unless you are! Our team recognizes the impact that renovations can have on families living in their home, which is why we work hard to minimize the impact to your family by confining work to specific areas each day and by ensuring we never leave a bedroom window unfinished overnight so your family can get back to living your lives comfortably. I hope that you and your family are staying warm this winter with your High Performance Triple Glazed windows. Cheers, Adam
