I chose HomeTech on referral. David from HomeTech came out to our house within days of calling for an estimate and provided us with an initial recommendations and quote . He arrived late in the day to suite our schedule. Within a couple weeks we contacted David again to finalize the estimate and arrange to have someone come out to do the detailed measurements of the windows. We had 9 windows replaced, a three section bay window and our patio doors. The windows were manufactured and ready earlier than expected and we had the installers scheduled for three days. Install date December 6-7, 2012. The two gentlemen that came out were polite, professional and on time. They had arrived just before 9am and left just before 4pm having installed all units (with exception of finishing trim on the bay and capping outside). They returned the second day to complete the job. Throughout their work they maintained a very clean workplace, and due to the cold temperatures, only removed one window at a time. I might add that they were a bit shocked on arriving as they were not told that my house was currently in a bit of a mess as we are in the final stages of completion of a new home (which we expected possession a month ago) and the house currently held two households full of furniture/personal belongings, so the workspace was very limited. We managed to maintain some access to the windows and the two installers worked through it with no complaints!! The job was completed in much less time than i had anticipated and with very little disruption. We are very impressed with the quality of materials, the operation of the windows (the sliders also pivot open to give full opening access in the bedrooms, ingress/egress requirements) and the overall looks. The difference that the windows make on the inside of our 25yo home is amazing, brighter, cleaner and visually appealing. Although we have done this reno for resale value, i wish i had done it years earlier. The bay window now has an opening window with screen (never did before and desperately needed) and the patio doors look amazing with the miniblind inserts. There is a significant difference in the air around the windows (our family room couch is just below a window and always had a cool draft coming down from the window, now unnoticable). Also, I've noticed a definite reduction in the amount of noise i hear from outside, a benefit not considered. We talk about the new windows with all our friends. Thank you everyone at HomeTech for the wonderful product and service.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $14,000.00
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Just make sure that if you do an install during the cold winter, to move plants out of the room that is being worked on. i didn't do this in our kitchen during the patio door replacement and some of the plants did not survive the change in temperature. My fault.
