We decided our 15-year-old build-grade (cheap quality) windows were due for a change. We reached out to 3 different companies for quotes. Jason from Ambia gave us our 3rd and best quote. He was a pleasure to deal with - patient, knowledgeable, and did not pressure us into extras. Ambia sells 'Stage' brand windows, which is a brand I've come to know through previous quotes and the windows I wanted to get. We chose to go with triple-glaze, black exterior windows. We have shutters and there was extra cost associated with ensuring the new window frames would fit them back after installation.
The install crew that Ambia sent was efficient and finished the work in 2 days. They've done a good job at keeping the mess to a minimum. They cleaned up all debris inside and out. However, be prepared to vacuum and dust surfaces after the work is complete. It's inevitable.
I immediately felt the difference with these windows compared to the old ones. Standing behind one in direct sunlight did not feel nearly as hot as with the old, which proves to me that they are indeed a lot more insulating. Will update my review after a winter season.
I recommend Ambia as they've provided us with great and friendly service, a competitive price, and my initial impressions of the windows are very positive so far.
