Andy, Eugene and their crew from Sunview recently put 6 windows and a new door on my late-50s bungalow. They were great, took their time and did a really nice job. I could tell as each new window went in, even though I wasn't in the same room, because the house got suddenly much quieter! I got the Tilt & Turn windows in some locations to avoid having people outdoors run into open casement windows, and I am really pleased with them. They look fabulous, and I really enjoy being able to open them like a door and poke my head outside to check on dogs and cats and funny noises, even in winter. What an improvement over the old windows that froze into position for the whole winter! One of my new windows is a completely new window installed where there had been none before - and it is great, lets in sunshine into a dark part of the house. With hindsight, I should have gotten a bigger one, of course. I also had one bedroom window enlarged (so I can see out while sitting at a desk...) and that window is quite wonderful. My new front door is also fabulous - I got one with a lovely beveled glass insert & sidelight which turns the lights of the passing traffic into a sparkling display of colour - it's jewelry for my house, really!
The installation went well, but there was a missing screen and a slight issue with the doorbell - but the company has called back and made an appointment to come by and fix those issues, so that's fine. The installation ran to two days, mostly because the walls of my house turned out to be very thick and cutting for the new window and extending the newly-bigger window took time. I was happy that they didn't just show up, shove windows into holes and leave. They took the time to make everything fit snugly and ensure that the new frames around the windows and brick-molding were all properly installed and airtight. Oh - and they really cleaned up after themselves, and removed all debris. Super! Although if you're having anything done which requires cutting into the walls, you have to expect some dust.
Overall, very pleased. These were not the cheapest windows I could have bought, but they are really efficient, and beautiful. Also quieter - which is important as my road is a busy one. And the house, which was not any particular beauty, is looking really handsome now. I look forward to finishing my remaining windows in the future and will go back to Sunview for that.
