    Rude solicitor

    I would never use this company for she sheer disrespect their employees have for peoples homes and families. One of their solicitors came to our home past 8pm on a Thursday night mind you, and proceeded to pound on our door like the police and repeatedly ring the door bell ignoring the multiple large signs that say "no solicitors" and "DO NOT KNOCK OR RING DOOR BELL BABY SLEEPING" he made sure he woke everyone up in the home including children who I had just got down and my partner who gets up for work at 3am. He refused to give his name or company on the ring when i asked who he was and why he was knocking past 8pm. In which he responded "are you the home owner" and i responded "who are you and why are you pounding on my door" he said some rude remark and walked off and proceeded to the next door neighbor with a baby and small child and pounded on their door the same. Also ignoring the sign of sleeping baby. No apologies for waking the entire neighborhood of children. We are in a very children friendly neighborhood.

    Overall, I was underwhelmed by the experience. We purchased 11 windows from Brightside in January 2025. Installation was in two parts between May and June due to a manufacturing delay. The sales experience felt high pressure and I'm not sure we received a good deal. There were some unexpected issues around financing (details below). Installation was high quality and efficient. The windows themselves seem to be good quality but have some inconveniences. Sales Experience: The salesman came to my door and setup a time for a showing. We had been interested in replacing some old aluminum windows. There was a fair amount of pressure in the sales pitch. Offering various discounts that would only be valid for a short period. Financing: We used one of their interest free financing methods through Synchrony. Unfortunately, I didn't exercise due diligence here mostly because of the above sales pressure. The loan was actually applied to a credit card as opposed to a regular loan. So now I have a credit card I don't want with a large credit limit. This has dragged down my credit score a considerable amount due to carrying a large balance. Additionally, I am stuck paying annual fees on this credit card which should have been a loan. Installation: The installers did quality and expedient work. They worked with me to make sure the windows were installed to satisfaction. Specifically, the windows were much thicker than the prior ones and needed to be inset more do avoid sticking out on the exterior. They cleaned up their materials and didn't leave any mess behind. There was an issue on the manufacturing end that resulted in some of the windows needing to be installed at a separate time. I also needed to follow up the company multiple times to make sure the windows were ordered, and an installation was being planned. Window quality: We ordered the triple pane windows. They have provided a much-improved dampening of noise from the nearby street. The windows have high efficiency ratings, although I have not really noticed a difference on my energy bill yet. There is a convenience feature where the sliding window panels can be removed for cleaning without needing to get a ladder to do so from the outside. The windows are very heavy though and do not slide easily. Being premium windows, it feels like they should have bearings or some mechanism to make this smoother. Currently it scrapes against the frame and peels up paint in the track. Since both panels of the slider windows move you need to push against both sides to fully close it and be able to apply the locking mechanism.

    My wife and I are very happy with our Brightside windows. The quality and service was excellent. The installation was finished in the estimated time.

    Replacement picture windows.

    Overall my experience with Brightside was positive, though it was certainly not without bumps. As an overview: it took around 8 months from time of order to final touch-ups to replace most of the windows on our first floor, though it had potential to be as little as 4 months if we had not run into any of the issues described below. I'll walk through each phase of the process below. Sales: we had salespeople knock on the door to gauge interest and set up a sales meeting. The salesman came out a week or so later, and did the typical high-pressure sales pitch. Not my preference, but it seems like that is the reality of the industry. Ordering: most of our windows were straightforward replacement windows, but we had some less standard "grid" windows (see photos for before/after) in places that the salesman wasn't sure how to handle. After some calls back to the home office he made some recommendations and we decided on how to replace it. A week later they had people come out for official measurements for each opening, only for them to tell us that our plan for replacing the "grid" window was not possible. After a bunch of frantic calls back to Brightside we cleared up the confusion and moved forward, but this would become a recurring problem. Waiting: we waited about 4 months while the windows were manufactured. Brightside called occasionally to update us on progress. Installation: the windows arrived, we scheduled time for the install, and the installers arrived. Unfortunately, the replacements they had for our "grid" windows were completely different from what we ordered. On top of that, we learned from the installer that the replacement design that Brightside sold us was not actually something the installers could do. Additionally, a few of our other windows had been mis-measured and also needed to be re-ordered. Otherwise the installation went very smoothly and the installers themselves were great. The job was done within the day. Waiting: Brightside came out to inspect the windows that were installed as well as confirm the ones that needed to be reordered. We discussed a new plan for the replacement and decided to replace each "column" of our grid windows with a single picture window (at the suggestion of the installer). After another 2 months, we were scheduling installation for the replacements. Installation: this time everything arrived as expected, and installation went smoothly. Unfortunately, most of the picture windows in the order had cosmetic manufacturing issues that needed to be fixed in another visit. Waiting: Brightside came again to inspect, then the window manufacturer (Alside) came to confirm, and about a month later we had technicians come out to do the fix. Fixes: the technicians arrived with replacement glass, expecting to need to replace all the affected windows. However, after seeing the issue in person they decided they could just clean it without doing the full replacement. Overall I'm happy with the quality and appearance of the windows. The technicians and installers that did the work were all quite good (helpful, efficient, and courteous). Brightside was communicative and helpful throughout the process. However, most of the issues we ran into on the project seem to be related to poor communication within Brightside (and between them and their manufacturer Alside), either by ordering the wrong windows or by misrepresenting the kinds of windows they could deliver for us. If you have a straightforward replacement window job with nothing special, you are likely to have a good experience. If anything is non-standard, prepare for the possibility of delays and complications.

    Replacing the windows in our house was on our to-do list from the time we bought it in 2021. It worked out great when the Brightside Reps came through our neighborhood to show us their products. Starting with the sales rep, then install team, then post-install inspection, everyone along the way has been so knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful in the process of getting our new windows. It was a fairly short time (about 9 weeks) from signing the contract to installation given that all the windows and screens are custom made to measure. The quality of the windows is a huge upgrade from the old mismatched aluminum and vinyl frame windows they replaced; we love the triple pane and know it's going to be a big difference on energy savings. We were especially sold with the lifetime warranty, which makes the value of these windows way better than others at a comparable price. One area for improvement would be keeping us updated during the manufacturing process - we didn't hear anything from anyone after the initial meeting until the windows were done and it was time to schedule installation. Obviously there wasn't much to say, but even an automated text or email to let us know where they were in the process would have been nice. We were very happy with the inspection today with Diana and Ashley - they checked every window inside and out and found some things that needed to be fixed that we didn't even realize were problems! Very thorough, and really lovely to talk with!

    My expierence with Brightside Windows was great! I had old single pane storm windows from 1967 that were deteriating and could feel the draft. Although I wasn't looking into replacing at the time, but I had a rep from Brightside named "Rose" knocking at my door asking if I would be interested in replacing my windows. I gave her the opportunity to give me a quote. It was a painless process and the price was affordable. I had some changes needed after the initial purchase, which they accommodated right away. The installers were professional and on time! They did a great job replacing (8) windows within 5 1/2 hours. I love the new windows! They are beautiful and can already feel the difference with keeping the heat in. I would recommend Brightside Windows.

    My experience with Brightside Windows has been super positive. The way that this team works is super fast and efficient. They are in and out of the home not a minute more than they need to be and that doesn't cut into the quality of their work at all. It took them less than 15 min to get measurements of our windows, and after that we just had to wait for the windows to be ready. Once they were ready, they only needed a single day to install all 9 windows, one of them which was a sliding door! We love our new windows and they've made such a drastic difference in our home. We would absolutely recommend getting windows from Brightside Windows.

    We had 10 windows, and 2 sliding doors replaced because the old windows and doors had double panes that had begun to fail (condensation between the panes), and the doors were not sliding very well anymore. Our house is from the 80's and everything was original. The worst offender was our bedroom window on the ground floor where an active draft could be felt when the temperature dropped below 50 degrees. We've had to run an electric space heater at night to maintain 65 degrees since October (turning up the furnace would cook the second story where our daughter sleeps, we tried). Brightside came in and got everything replaced in a day and a half. The crew was considerate of our furniture that we moved to give them space, made sure to put boot covers on each time they came in and out (it was raining/snowing during install), and did a good job cleaning up after they were finished. The new triple-glazed windows are amazing, we were able to turn the bedroom heater down from high to medium (that's like a 400W energy savings). I'm expecting the overall heating bill will drop, and we'll likely use less electricity for A/C in the summer. Not to mention that the doors work so much smoother, and the windows are easier to open. The windows now offer more options for opening as (open both left and right, or top and bottom depending on the window). We love that the screens can slide from one side to the other, or with a vertical window, up and down. That's already come in handy when we wanted to look out the lower pane of the kitchen window without the screen, but we didn't have to fully remove it and remember where we stored it once summer comes around. Just slide it up to the upper pane. The price was fair as well. They were below the cost of Anderson windows, and I believe we got a superior product.

    Finding Brightside was an amazing feat of fate! We had just begun to think about the idea of looking into new windows due to drafts and noise pollution and the next thing we know a rep is at our door and I'm so glad they were. From the moment they began talking about these windows I knew I wanted them! The triple pane, yes! The accessibility of moving them and being able to clean them, yes! The price, YES! The value of these windows cannot be beat! From sale to install to final walkthrough, the experience has been amazing. We had a contact for every single step of the process and were never confused or worried. The install was done quickly and effectively with techs would were beyond courteous and kind. And the finished product? Stunning!! When I first saw my new large picture windows, I honestly thought there was no window at all it was so clear. Our house has been warmer, quieter and fun to show off thanks to our new windows!

    It's a nice clean look without window grids.

First appt was set for a Sunday in February and they called an hour before the appt to let me know the consultant's car broke down and he couldn't make it. It just happened to be an unusually nice day and I was suspicious. I decided I was not going to use such an unreliable company because I felt someone could have come out in his place, or he could borrow a car if it was that important to him. A couple months go by and I'm ready to go forward on my window replacement project so I thought I would give Window Nation another chance and scheduled them as part of my three quotes. Both the first two companies were right on time for the appts, then along comes Window Nation calling 15 minutes before our appt to let me know that the consultant is running late because of traffic and he will be about a half hour late. The was the last straw for me. I wouldn't have chosen them anyway at this point because they were so undependable that getting them here to do the work would probably be a hassle too. I told them to forget the appt they would just be wasting my time at this point. I would never call the again for anything!!!

Corneliu fixed everything the RIGHT WAY at a very fair price and worked as late as 7:30pm, long after the sun had gone down, to ensure everything was done before the next storm rolled in.

We wanted a door installed in the interior of our home. Cornel arrived, measured the space, explained the different styles, asking what we'd like. Then he went to the hardware store himself, took photos of all of the options that fit our criteria, and texted us the options so we could choose, saving me time from having to go to the store myself. He also went above and beyond by offering to fix the opposite side of the door frame, which was ugly before the project started. We didn't even think it was an option to fix that. Cornel installed the door, painted it, and fixed the trim on both sides, on the same day. The final result is absolutely perfect. It's beautiful, and the quality is stellar. We will certainly be using Smart Construction again in the future for home projects that we can't do ourselves.
