Replace all windows in our house

They did a good job installing the new vinyl windows to replace our old metal framed windows. We had no problems with the windows since the renovation. Their price was quite a bit lower than other companies that provided estimates.

Joyce,
we are so please to retain you as a loyal customer 3 times round. We do try to provide a competitive price for all our customers and absolutely thrilled you have referred so many people to us. we cannot say why the 4th time round, pricing was not to your satisfaction, but you can be sure we will provide the same quality products you've come to expect on your 4th house as the 1st one we did for you. Material/labour costs are always ever increasing but is something we try to keep down, but at times price increases will happen.

Window Installation

I needed to replace all the windows for the entire house (15 windows total) and one patio screen door. Initial appointment for measuring was done efficiently and professionally. The representative took the time to explain all the options available for the different styles and function. He was very polite and patient. All 15 windows and 1 door was installed in one day and they cleaned up rather well afterwards. I didn't notice much damage to the areas of the wall where the new window was installed. The windows look great and all open smoothly and haven't had any problems with them. The screens are all easy to remove and replace as well.

Window

After purchasing our second home a co worker recommended Reto Window. We have also heard of the company from local flyers, so we knew the company's been around. After researching+ checking them out with the BBB + also got a few comparison quotes we went with them. We like their warranty & competative pricing. Sales rep was very good, explained the beneits of new vinyl window vs the old metal ones.
Our house had a lot of drafts, even with storm windows. The Crue was very friendly. Very good price for changing windows for entire house.

We did have to call them back for some extra caulking though in our bathroom window, when it rained really hard we had minor rain come in. After service call, they came very promtly... No other issues. Would recommend!

vinyl windows

We changed to new windows for the entire house. We found this company through a friend, who said it was very good. A sale's rep came to our house and measured all the windows and gave us a quote. We were satisfied with the quote, and we agreed to the job. But as soon as we did that, the sales rep said he thought he forgot to include one more window, and gave us a new quote, which was of course higher than the first one. And later we found out that he's measurements were off. The window company was good, but that sales person was not.

replaced all my windows

Replaced all my windows in my home, was quite satisfied with their work. The came in the morning, removed all my windows then replace them all in just one day. Incredibly fast for such a big job, Satisfied except the caulking around the windows started to crack and shrink after several months. I call them back to recaulk them, but never received a call back. I then called a handyman to come in to caulk around all the windows which costed me only $ 100. Still satisfied with Retro's job.

double glazed window installation

I had Retrotek windows replace 4 of my back windows. The windows were installed very quickly but I would have hoped that more care be taken when removing my old windows. The stucco cracked and I had to refinish one of the window sills. Additionally, one of the screens had a small hole in it, which was never replaced, even after calling them and informing them.

hello,

thank-you for your comments regarding your window purchase experience.
generally, existing window frames come out quite cleanly, but there are times when frames are more difficult to remove hence we always like to inform customers before starting a job what they may expect from the removal process before any actual work is done. We always try to keep any damage to a minimal but at times can seal up any cracks that may occur. Existing conditions of stucco/drywall/plaster/sills is critical to what may happen to these items when removal of frames are done. If conditions are in poor shape, then you may expect some damage to happen (this goes for any company). Again, we try our best to keep things to a minimun and at best inform you when conditions may be a bit suspect.

Window Replacement

Needed all my single pane windows replaced when I bought my house 3 years ago. These guys were quick to give me a quote and were very reasonably priced. On the day of work. a small army showed up and had all 13 windows and a patio door replaced. They vaccumed up all the broken glass and cleaned my windows. It was all over in less than 4 hrs. Wow ! These guys were fast and did a clean job. Very satisfied.

New windows in the front of the house (4)

Retro tech came to replace some windows in the house and the service was fine at the time, but the product wasn't. Two of the four windows that they installed leaked and weren't sealed properly. A year later the windows still have not been repaired, we are very disappointed.
