Awesome products and fantastic professional installation service. We had one large patio screen installed and two smaller windows with double wicket openings. As we have two cats, we opted for the heavy duty pet mesh for all screens. A little extra, but well worth the cost. Sure, I could have gone to our local renovation centres for some of those DIY versions and we also looked at around at some other local companies who were cheaper. Their materials seemed more flimsy and also the customer service wasn't that great (3 weeks waiting for a response to emails was just a little unacceptable).
Anyhow, we opted to spend a little more and after reading the great reviews for Wizard Industries on Homestars.com, we opted to give them a try. Justin, the installer, came and did the measurements. Very professional. We were given a quote of about $350 for all three windows/Patio door with Pet Mesh. Sure a little more than anticipated, but I'm a firm believer of you get what you pay for. If you want a quality product, you kinda have to pay a little more for it. We were originally told that it was going to be up to 3 weeks for fabrication to delivery/installation, It turned out to only be two weeks. Justin came back, right on time and had the screens installed in about 30 minutes.
Our condo feels so cool now. We didn't have the screens last summer and instead opted for a large A/C unit and kept the windows closed. Our electric bill was INSANE. We're looking forward to summer this year of just keeping all the windows open now to get the nice cross breeze and only use the A/C for the couple of days to a week in the middle of peak summer season where even the outside air is unbearable. The amount we'll save in our power bill this year will more than pay for these great new screens. What can I say, we're extremely pleased with our new screens. Would we recommend Wizard to our friends? Heck, YES! Quality products (again, you get what you pay for), great and professional customer service and delivery quicker than expected. We couldn't ask for anything more.
