    Lijuan C.

    We had 4 windows replaced by Renewal by Andersen last fall. 3 were good. 1 was horrible. It can only be opened 1/4th of the height. See picture. This one is laminated glass. The sales person said it was much better at reducing the noise to the room so I used it. But it turns out the window sash had to drop 1-2 inches when it was opened to the top. They sent a few technicians to try to fix it, only to install a limited travel balancer to the window. This balancer limits how much I can open the window, yet it still drops 1-2 inches after raising the window sash to the top this balancer defines. Now the window can only be opened for 1/4th of the height. I called and said they should at least warn the future customers. If I had know I could only open the window 1/4th of the window height, I wouldn't choose laminated glass. The Andersen person politely told me the sales is a different organization from the installation org and they had no control on what information the sales provide.

    If you want to spend 3 hours listening to a presentation and spending $3,000 for a double hung and [[HIGHLIGHT]]a sales associate Duncan was terrible[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The guy talked like a borderline fraud. He spent 95% of the time trashing other companies instead of explaining the upsides of their product. I don't think that they are complete frauds; they offer legitimate services. However, their sales tactics are akin to tactics used by used car salesmen. Being a DIY guy, I could clearly sense that he knew way less about window installation than I did. The guy spent an hour in our house, which is an abuse, and then told us to wait and discuss while "he steps outside to talk to his manager". Presumably, "to get a permission to give us an awesome deal if we sign right away". At that point we told him the meeting was over. He told us the prices he had quoted were good for a year but he did not actually leave us any written quote. :) This whole experience was a mix of bad and hilarious. Their prices are roughly 80-100% above the market. Again, their products seem to be top quality. It is not at all clear who they use for installation. The company has a video of a company boat cruise on Charles River, and they don't have any construction people there, just a whole bunch of sales people. Again, it is pretty clear what their business strategy is. If you have a spine and patience, you can invite them over to get an upper bound on the price. But definitely shop around afterwards.

    **ATTENTION ALL HOMEOWNERS LOOKING TO HIRE, RECRUITS SEEKING EMPLOYMENT, AND CURRENT EMPLOYEES**…read moreGreenline Innovations, LLC. currently owes more than $60,000 in wage theft damages to myself and Christopher Garner. I am continually harassed by phone calls from creditors regarding delinquent vehicle loans that are over 100 days past due. Greenline Innovations refuses to answer their calls, and never even bothered to show up to court. I can tell you personally from working inside this company that I would not recommend it. It is certainly not my preference to deal with things in this manner, however I feel people have a right to know with whom they are getting involved. I will update the review to make sure it is accurate moving forward when these issues are resolved.

I hired Franca this fall to paint the exterior of my house, and remove a significant amount of rotted trim and replace it with PVC. I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly they were able to get me on their schedule, and they wrapped up the whole project in a little over a week. They were conscientious about removing rotted trim (including from areas I couldn't see well from the ground and so didn't point out to them), the house looks great, and the price was very competitive. Steve, who set up the contract, was very responsive throughout; the crew were professional, careful about cleanup, and showed up on time. The only flaws were (1) initially they replaced some of the trim with softwood instead of PVC, but when I noticed it and asked them to fix it, and contacted Steve to confirm, they did fix it (and didn't charge me for the fix), (2) they were a bit aggressive about chopping limbs off some of my small trees to get the ladders into place - that said, this may have been unavoidable (the yard is small and quite densely planted).

    We would highly recommend Lambert & Sons Construction of Marlborough. We hired Christian and his…read moreteam to replace our front door and the VERY LARGE, heavy palladium window above it. For a reasonable price, we were able to get a higher quality window and door (w/sidelights) than the originals. They replaced rotted wood they discovered, and even had to contend with a huge carpenter ant colony that had settled in there! Everything was re-insulated and, to save us some money, Christian had his men carefully remove all the existing interior moldings to re-use them wherever possible. His attention to detail was very evident in the new exterior door surround he created by hand to match the window moldings. Our painter said that he's rarely seen such excellent finish carpentry. Christian's crew is very friendly and respectful and meticulous in their clean-up of the job site. If we ever need work done in the future, our one call will be to Lambert & Sons.

    The first project we had Lambert and Sons do for us was our windows. For the same price as one of…read morethe "window replacement" companies, we were able to get higher quality windows that weren't just popped into place, but installed the same way a builder would. Not only was all of our shoddy construction corrected, but everything was re-insulated and Christian installed beautiful new mouldings that changed the entire look of our house. It was so nice to not have to call in different people for all of the construction problems uncovered while doing our windows. Christian was able to handle it all (or call in excellent sub contractors to handle things like electrical work). We loved Christian and his crew so much that we have had them come back to do our roof, laundry room,repair and redesign our front door, gutter removal and regrading. We will have them remodel our basement and kitchen in the near future. Christian has an eye for detail and the knowledge to do things right. Not only does Christian have these skills, but so does his crew. Everyone involved in our projects was wonderful to work with. Everything was completely cleaned up at the end of the day (something I noticed another roofer in the nieghborhood didn't do) and the crew even scoured the neighbors' yards to make sure nothing blew onto their properties. I felt completely confident leaving the crew in my home if I had to run out for awhile and they were also very pleasant to have around while I was in the house. I sometimes hesitate when a friend asks for a recommendation, but not with this company. I have recommended Lambert and Sons to quite a few people, and everyone has thanked me for the wonderful "find". Half my neighborhood has now used Lambert and Sons based on the work they've seen done on my house. I was prompted to write the review after my neighbor struck up a conversation with me yesterday about how he watched all the work being done on my home. This is the pickiest guy in the world. He is an engineer who does all his own work on his house and has an incredible eye for detail. He let me know that Christian did the work on my house exactly like he would do it on his own and that he was an "A+ professional". He even called him an "artist", and this is a guy who never says ANYTHING nice. My painter (another obsessively picky individual) also commented about the high quality of Chris Lambert's work and how easy he was to work with (as we had them doing simultaneous projects). Update 4/21/13 - We have now had Christian finish our basement. and are as happy as ever. Neighbors that used other contractors are impressed with how Chris designed and finished the space (he even designed and built the entertainment unit), and are shocked at how quickly and smoothly the project was completed. We have also recommended him to 2 more people that were both very happy with their projects.

    Following the tearing of our shower door vinyl sweep, the quest for a replacement took us to Home…read moreDepot and Lowe's which proved unsuccessful, as no suitable vinyl sweep was to be found. It seemed relatively simple, as our existing sweep wasn't tailored for a shower door. After watching numerous YouTube tutorials, we decided to replace the entire rail. However, our subsequent visits to Home Depot and Lowe's revealed that the rail was typically sold with the custom shower door, not separately. Turning to YouTube once more, we discovered that an online glass company could provide a replacement rail. Yelp led us to the many positive reviews for Country Glass who has a showroom in Hudson. I called and spoke with Becky who listened our issue and invited me meet with one of her technicians. While at the showroom waiting to meet the technician, I noticed a display showcasing replacing glass with broken seals vs. the entire windows, prompting me to inquire about obtaining a quote. The showroom also displayed doors, glass, screen and storm doors. I left my contact information to schedule a day for a quote for new front door and replacement glass. I was introduced to Sean, who listened to the issue with our rail, viewing my photos and discussing how we should install this new rail. Sean cut the new rail slightly larger than necessary, given our lack of precise measurements. Additionally, he suggested using silicone for the end cap, a practical solution. Meanwhile, my husband's attempt to reattach the rail using some sort of waterproof glue proved futile. I unexpectedly ran into Sean at our local grocery store where he generously offered his assistance. Despite the mishap with saving his number, my husband managed to secure the rail using waterproof silicone. Although the shower no longer leaked, the vinyl sweep remained a persistent issue, shifting with each door movement. This required me to adjust the vinyl sweep every few days. On March 26, Tim arrived to provide the quote. Tim shared he was the previous owner who sold the business and is now an employee. He spoke so highly of the employees and how much he enjoyed working with customers. Tim was very personable. I shared my assumption of needing a new front door due to the cold air that could be felt in entry way. Tim explained this was attributed to the architecture of our entryway where the heat rises rather than any fault with the door itself. His honesty was commendable as he could have sold us a door that was not needed. Upon examining the windows with failed seals, Tim showed me where each warranty sticker was located. He explained the warranty claim process and offered to come back to install once we received the replacement windows. I appreciated his genuineness. I did ask him to take a peek at our shower door. He said he would happily look at it. He said he knew was was needed and went to his car to get some tools. He trimmed the excess vinyl, securing it with screws on both ends, and fitted a new end cap. WOW!!! What amazing customer service and I only purchased a rail from them :). I want to thank Becky, Sean and Tim for being amazing and going above and beyond when we didn't make a major purchase. You have a customer for life. I would and will highly recommend Country Glass to all my friends and family.
