An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
I had obtained 4 estimates in 2014 to have this work done but put it off due to the cost at that time, but I still had those estimates. One review on Homestars for Windowrama said simply " Windowrama will be the least expensive quote you will get, so he is the only call you need to make." Since I had the 4 previous quotes for comparison, some including the very same brand and model of windows, I called and Windowrama scheduled an appointment within a couple of days and arrived at the appointed time. Paul was thorough and took measurements of all windows on that Thursday and I received the complete, detailed 6 page quote 2 days later by email. As expected, his quote was lower than any of the previous ones from 4 years earlier even though I am certain that labor costs, etc., have gone up since then.
We scheduled the installation for about a month later due to a trip out of town I had to make and his crew showed up promptly the first morning as scheduled to begin the process which went very smoothly. Once the first window was removed, they immediately begin replacing it while beginning the removal process of the next window so that at no time were there more than 3 windows opened which was a great help since it was the middle of July and very hot.
They did just over 1/2 the windows the first day, working until well past 5:00 PM and came back promptly the next morning to complete the job. The installation crew was very thorough and after one small ding in the colorcrete finish on one outside window sill was pointed out they were very careful to protect the colorcrete finish on my cement block home on the entire rest of the job. They were also very meticulous in their cleanup once each window was installed. There was nothing that I had to do after the installation to touch up damaged areas either inside or outside the home due to their care in removal and installation.
After one of the double wide windows was installed I noticed that the frame of one upper sash was not straight (a manufacturing defect) and Paul said he would order a replacement sash and stop by to install it once if was received. He called me about 10 days after the installation was complete and brought the replacement sash by and lett me keep the older one to use in case of another window was ever broken.
I was at home the entire time of the installation and very impressed with how carefull the installers were to limit the "mess" made by the removal of the old aluminum frame windows and how meticulous they were in their cleanup in each room afterr the windows were installed, thoroughly vacuuming the carpet and whole area after they were done with each window.
I would highly recommend Windowrama for any replacement window work needed. I also agree that if you don't want to bother with multiple quotes, just know that Windowrama will be the lowest anyway when comparing to other quotes for the sample products to be installed. Great job done at a good price as well.
