"Excellent" is hardly enough to describe how our entire window and door replacement process went!…read more It began with a visit from Rob, the highly knowledgeable sales rep. He gave a thorough and comprehensive explanation of every aspect of the window, sliding door, and front door replacement. Our first estimate did not include replacement of three trapezoidal windows and one rectangular window above the front door. Once we realized that these existing windows were not impact-resistant, I requested that they be added to the job. Rob came and did extensive measurements, then he returned again with an even more experienced expert to confirm everything. The preliminary work must have been spot on, because these trouble-windows went in with little difficulty. Except for the large section of termite-damaged wood that the installer uncovered and, of course, completely removed and replaced. Given the special geometric and installation requirements, the finished product is incredible. The installation crew was technically expert. In addition, each one had a real concern for the extensive interior memorabilia throughout the home that we were unable to relocate before the work. Everything was covered and protected from both dust and inadvertent contact. This gave us the confidence not to worry about damage, and of course there was none. The final process involved filling holes in the stucco made by the removal of ancient sliding shutters, installing new trim around the three trapezoidal windows, and touch-up painting, including the new front door. Once again, extreme care was given to protecting the inside of the house near the door and the exterior screened entrance. The work was neat and thorough, and the final cleanup was total and complete I can't recommend Armored Dade highly enough. In my relatively brief stay in Florida, I of course have not avoided the countless TV commercials for window replacement: 0% off; buy 1 get 1; get 4; etc. Rob made no mention of any "deals" at his initial visit because with a top-quality product installed by a top-quality firm, there is no need for gimmicks.

My order was screwed up not once but twice, requiring two redos of the shutters. Then another visit because they left one out that should have been included. So, they finally get the order right (included split tilt and sill plate as ordered) but in four out of six windows the shutters look terrible, with uneven gapping and other problems. Maybe they got the measurements wrong? All I know is they look cheap and sloppy, despite the high price. It's been a seven month nightmare with far too many visits and dealing with a manger who likes to blame customers for their mistakes. Use a different vendor and maybe avoid Hunter Douglas (they're reputation is no longer deserved). Both the dealer and the brand have major problems. I've heard M&S Blinds and Shutters is good, or Blind Ambition. The photos show the third build, or second redo. Still the excessive light bleed all around, bad fit in the window recess, and inconsistent gaps between louvers and all around. Except for 2 out of the 6 that are acceptable or passable, they really look awful. For $6300, these shutters should be neat and clean looking.
