I recently had a abysmal experience with Clera, and would enthusiastically recommend you go somewhere else for your windows & doors. Dealing with Clera included numerous issues, primarily related to install but here's a full list: 1) After taking a deposit, Clera came back to finalize measurements. During this time, they brought up that they only supply one style of trim and tried to charge extra for trim that would match my existing windows. While this eventually went away and we proceeded at no additional cost, I should've known that I'd be dealing with an unprofessional contractor. 2) 2-3 Months delivery turned into 6 months. Don't bother talking to your sales rep, it's a waste of time. 3) While replacing a large window in my home, they managed to damage the existing plaster walls. This wouldn't be a problem except they refused to fix it, stating that "they only install windows & doors". 4) In addition to leaving holes in the wall, they also damaged the trim that they installed; leaving places where compound, sanding and fresh paint are needed just to finish the job. Guess they really mean "only windows & doors". 5) Brand new rear door doesn't open all the way. I acknowledge that my floor isn't level, however some care while taking measurements would have identified this and we could have agreed on a possible solution before the brand new door is ordered, delivered and installed. 6) Other windows had the same damage to brand new installed trim, or new trim wasn't purchased of similar size to existing. They even damaged the dry wall in one spot. I've attached some photos for examples. At the end, they leave with a mess and excuses that they clearly verbally told you about of this when you hired them. Except, I don't think I would've hire someone to do half a job.

Dear Rhys Goldman,

Thank you very much for you business and we apologize for your negative experience . However, we would like to learn more about your situation and investigate this issue further. As per our local branch, your sales agreement was for retrofit installation and you were informed by the installer during measurements that there might be damages if you change to brick to brick installation in an older home like yours.You agreed to go with brick to brick installations knowing there might be issues and you were upgraded to brick to brick installation at no charge by local branch. We do carry only colonial style trim at our factory and customer can upgrade to any other trim style at extra charge based on availability at their local building supply store. As per local branch, they offered to patch up the walls but you decided not to proceed and mistreated them. We always look after our customers and go the extra mile to help our customers.Please contact our customer service specialist Rita @ 905 738-1870 x240 so we can resolve this issue. Thanks- Clera admin
