Nick and all the team at JWG were fantastic. I spoke with several other companies but really wanted…read moreto support a local business instead of going with a big box company, and I'm so glad we chose them. The biggest thing I appreciated was how trustworthy and friendly everyone was throughout the process. From start to finish, they made everything feel incredibly straightforward and stress-free. Nick was always very responsive and happy to answer any questions I had along the way. When our double door arrived, it was missing a hole, which was understandably concerning, but they immediately arranged for Alex to come out and fix it. It wasn't an easy adjustment to line up perfectly, but he did a great job and made sure I was happy before finalizing everything. The end result looks great, and we're very happy with the quality and service.

Jason provided us with an in-home visit with a sample replacement window, and explained the various…read morefeatures of interest and options. He helped us arrive at a suitable energy-efficient Simonton models to replace 5 of our windows at a reasonable price. He also measured all the windows to be replaced and promptly provided a written quote. Three of our replacements were for original 30+ year-old single-hung windows which were no longer functional because their balances had failed. The replacement Simonton windows have a better design that obviates the need for such balances, which was of added value to me! The total window order, measured and made to order, was received by JWG within 3 weeks and installed within 1 week. JWG Windows arrived just minutes before the scheduled time for installation. We were fortunate to have a second installation crew (Alex and Ricky) join the first crew (EJ and Cody) during the installation process, which allowed the entire job to be done within 2.5 hours. These two teams operated smoothly together in good spirits, were respectful of our property (using drop cloths in each work area) and cleaned up the work areas. After they were installed, EJ demonstrated the windows' operating features, provided me with the manufacturer's warranty and answered my questions. (The self-latching worked a bit differently than I expected, which actually was an improvement!) The windows look great and are a pleasure to use! Nice work, JWG!

From the very beginning, everyone was friendly and professional. I worked with Kaleb, who arrived on time and provided exceptional customer service. He was always responsive--whenever I had questions, I could call or text him and he would get back to me quickly with helpful answers. When it came time for installation, Jesse, James, and Eduardo were fantastic. They were clean, thorough, and did an excellent job. You can really tell they take pride in their work. I will definitely be recommending HomeTime to others and plan to use them again when we replace more windows in the future. Thank you all so much!

We went with Hometime Windows because of their attention to detail and care in answering our…read morequestions for the entire process of window replacement. The pricing was extremely competitive and it stood out to us that Hometime ensured the best value and delivery from start to finish. Our first part started with asking for a free consultation. In utilizing the yelp platform, we proceeded to give a call to the office to schedule. They were very prompt to schedule a free in home consultation the very next day. Jeff was our sales representative and he was very courteous and helped guide us thru the process. We wanted to ensure getting a set of windows changed and he helped do an initial measure and then gave us a run down presentation of our options and the technology behind the windows being replaced ( retrofits). We even had a chance to talk about grids and learn new terms and technology about the windows themselves! Jeff was super patient with us and answered all our questions, even as we had little ones to deal with around the home. What mattered the most was we were not pressured to move forward, we felt a big sense of confidence in the level of detail as well as clarity in the process. My wife was happy so we were sold to move forward! Leading up to the installation and waiting for windows to be ready, it was around a 4 week turnaround. Nina from the office was extremely insightful on reminders and communications. She helped answer small questions quickly via text which really helped. We also got notifications of an additional meeting with our installers, Jesse and James to ensure the windows were measured correctly. On the day of installation, Jesse and James arrived promptly at 7am as they had promised. They were very professional, navigated thru our tight corners and items in the hallways. They were very courteous of noise and did a very thorough job to install the new windows. The installation of the windows and chaulking work was top notch, they look beautiful inside and out. We were in awe of how wonderful and charming they look compared to our old 25+ year windows that were replaced. Thank you Jesse and James as they were very efficient and cleaned up everything as they wrapped up the project! They also took extra care of installing the windows without taking out our shutters or blinds. Thank you Hometime Windows team and look forward to working with you guys again for the next phase of windows and highly recommended for others to win your business!

The second was to mount a large flat screen TV on an existing, dated TV cabinet. He designed it first and with approval, built a fine TV mount on new board over the old TV cabinet, taking care to hide all wires and speakers. The last item was (I think) the most difficult, as we wanted to match a handrail on an opposite side wall of the existing handrail in our older house for better stair safety. The handrail profile was very difficult to find, but he persisted and knew that only a matching profile would look nice. He finally found it, and described to me the many decisions he made to have it match the other side (angle, where it started and stopped, how far away from the wall, etc). I had no idea about how painstaking it was, but I can tell you that it looks like it had always been there and I so appreciate what a perfectionist he is. Steve is pleasant to work with and a good communicator. We will use him again, and I highly recommend him. Thanks Steve!

The poor old thing (the secretary) was really showing her age with years of touching up, damage and oxidation. She was long overdue for a rehaul. I found AAA on Yelp and texted Keith. His response was quick and honest and he was willing to take the job on at a very reasonable cost, and referred me to Stan. Stan was also quick to respond and we arranged a time for pick up and an ETA. Stan contacted us anytime he had a question about something and sent pics of her in progress. After about 2 to 3 weeks, he was ready to bring her back and we were extremely flabbergasted at how gorgeous she had turned out. When you have a piece of furniture so long and it looks so worn, it's hard to imagine what it could look like beautified. I am attaching before and after pics to show what wonderful work they did, which included completely stripping her, which Stan said was VERY labor-intensive. She was covered in old varnish and old polish. I digress. Here are the pics, and a very high recommendation for AAA.

Once ordered, the window hardware arrived at Glass Guru, and installation was easily scheduled. For the installation, Miguel arrived on time, and was extraordinarily polite and safety-conscious. He quickly installed the window hangar hardware-sets, fixed an additional issue with one window, and then silicone-sprayed other windows.

I was told the glass would be installed in about two weeks. After several weeks passed with no update, I followed up and was told they saw the deposit had been refunded and they would look into it. I was then told the job had been cancelled because we "needed new windows, not just new glass"--which is confusing, since they also install new windows. They claimed an email had been sent to either my contractor or me notifying us of the cancellation, but neither of us ever received anything. As a result, I waited weeks under the assumption the order was moving forward and am now starting over with a new company. This experience was a waste of time and very disappointing due to the lack of communication.
