Order was placed September 2022 for large bay window, kitchen window, bathroom window, and a complete side door. The totally inexperienced unprofessional installers came in March 2023 to install everything except the side door. The lead hand never put his phone down the whole time because he was learning while he was installing. I knew there was a problem as soon as they started. We were to pay the balance on the day of install but I said we weren't paying that day cause of the mess. There was no insulation used, no support for the window so it was sagging within couple of months, holes on the outside frame large enough for squirrels to get in, caulking not complete, large hole on the inside wall that required drywall, fill, sanding, painting. Both windows on the bay window and kitchen window either wouldn't open or wouldn't shut. The bathroom window is in the shower area (old house) and they used the wrong caulking which wasn't waterproof. My spouse pointed this out but they continued with it. Handle didn't cover hole in frame on bathroom window. Shouldn't have left the manufacturer. The service dep't. came March 16, 2023. They agreed about all the issues and were never seen again. The installers for the side door were a different crew, Shako and Cotne. Totally professional, excellent job, the only good thing about this company. We told Nordik we wanted them when the second bay window was being installed. This wasn't ready until September 2023. Again they were excellent. Shako also looked at all our issues. He adjusted the windows that wouldn't open or close. The bathroom window needed a new frame cause to adjust the handle made the mechanism not work. He ordered a new window frame right away. He was the one who told us no support had been put in the bay window. Also because of no insulation and it was winter, there was water everyday that had to be wiped up, which would create mold and warp eventually. Because of the wrong caulking and hole in the frame of the bathroom window, we had a plastic bag covering the window from March until the new frame was installed in September 2023 and we replaced the again wrong caulking with the right stuff. I have consulted with a lawyer as we have an outstanding balance owing to them, but they also owe us more for the repairs we had to do. If this is your only choice, keep your old windows and doors.

We had decided to get the attic insulated. The 1,000 sq ft home was built in 1960 and there is basically no insulation anywhere. A flyer came in the mail with this company's ad in it. It was from their Downsview branch. We lucked out. The two men who came were polite, efficient, tidy, and wore proper safety equipment. They were in and out in just over an hour. They even vacuumed although there wasn't much of anything there.

We wanted railings with glass panels. When checking the quality of some other manufacturers, we found them to be flimsy. This was for a second storey deck, so we needed a strong secure setup, in order to not worry about our granddaughter and in order to receive a pass on the building permit. We dealt with Anton, and stressed we had to have an engineer's stamp from the company for the city. That was the only issue that we had a problem on with him. He said this would be done but in the end I was happy I had received it in writing from him. They wanted to charge us an extra $450 for this at the end but settled for $250, when we refused since it was supposedly included in the original quote. We're very happy with the work and the quality but due to this problem with the engineer's stamp requirement and Anton's attitude change, we did not ask him to do some further work. GET IT IN WRITING!
