4 windows and one patio door

Since we have been fully satisfied with this same company in the past, we decided to forgo getting estimates from others and get our house updated during the 2014 March break. The price was very reasonable, and Alex D. did a great job in finding the proper windows and door for our home and got the order scheduled to be delivered during my holidays. I was quite satisfied up to this point and had no complaints through that process.
Quality of the windows is 4 out of 5 (with some minor imperfections such as spacers moving up and down when windows are opened/closed), and the patio door lock is scuffing the white vinyl. This is purely the design of the product and will be monitored over time for any defects. I had my previous issues resolved today, and I thank HomeStars for the effective media that helped push this resolution. Thank you Canadian Choice for doing the right thing. I would have been a VERY happy customer if it would have been much sooner. Cheers!

What could this company do to improve their services?
Better customer care. A little too much confusion and lack of response can leave your customers bitter and angry when their calls/texts/emails aren't being attended to in a proper manner. Quality can be top notch, but if customer care isn't there, you have nothing...

We were looking to get our windows and doors done. We called Canadian Choice Windows and Max came over to give us an estimate. He was very professional and advice us what is our options on windows. The installer crew did a good job. We would recommend Max and Canadian Choice Windows to anyone who is looking good job well done.

Window replacement

Following my earlier review, I would like to say that after contacting the company, they replaced all our faulty windows, living up to the lifetime guarantee. The job was done quickly and tidily, with no cost to us at all. We were told that they had changed suppliers, since they had had problems with the windows they installed in our home. Thanks to Canadian Windows & Doors for the great service.

We had our windows replaced 8 years ago. The installers moved quickly, but damaged several of our wooden window frames. In the last 2 years the windows have deteriorated and look awful. There are opaque, white lines showing in all of them.

Update Aug 22; Hi Ann, we still did not receive any calls or information regarding the issues you may have. Your windows and glass are under FULL WARRANTY and will be replaced. Could you give us a call at 416-848-6930 or drop me a line at hanna@windowscanada.com with more information in regards to your windows? The photos are too close to the windows and we cannot differentiate our windows. Please provide your full name, telephone number, or address so we may be able to assist you better. You do have a full warranty on your glass and windows. You should have let us know right away when the installation happened eight years ago that the installers damaged your window frames. At this point in time, there are no records where you are located and what we did.Please let us know in order to proceed with further assistance, thank you.

Windows Replacement

Alex Davidovich visited us right from the estimate stage and gave us exemplary service for our Home Windows Replacement Project. Timelines were duly observed.

Alex coordinated with great patience with our tenant and did a totally seamless, painless job. the quality and workmanship is excellent and as a bonus we got tempered glass for our largest picture window in the Living Room, without having to pay anything extra, We are so happy we added value to our property through Canadian Choice Windows.

The installers were fast and professional. Helen is a great asset to Canadian Choice Windows & Doors. The previous person who scheduled installations was not good. I understand she has been replaced
by Helen who got things sorted immediately and
efficiently. However the installers did not close the back get after leaving and my dog escaped. The truck left a large grease stain on my drive. There is a deep scratch on the footboard in one of the rooms which was not there before. At this point I have had no issues with the windows and they appear to be satisfactory. Winter will tell all. Having said all this I would be reluctant to recommend this company at this time.

Window replacement - whole house & patio door

Not recommended - unprofessional and bad installation leading to home damage.

We originally decided to go with Canadian Choice based on reviews and mid-range price-point.
Once our deposit was provided things changed towards a negative experience. Our sales rep Alex found it hard to do simple courtesy's such as return phone calls.

Once the installation was scheduled the crew was unable to complete the job within the estimated time and took another entire day. When they determined this extra time was needed, they were not very flexible with the days and made us feel as though we were unable to be accomadating although we would have taken the days off work if we had known ahead of time.

The installation techs were pleasant but messy and damaged a few things. Throwing construction material on top of our plants is not very considerate.

Also some of the goods were not delivered as promised, Ie: mdf trim installed instead of the wooden trim we were promised and paid for.

Now one month later we have a leak with a patio door they installed. We were told someone would come by on a specific day but was a no-show, no call and now can't get a hold of them. Every rainfall is resulting in damage to our home. At this point, we may have to call in someone else to fix the damage.

Update after company response: The trim was in fact wood as promised, not sure how we missed this but do want to relay that this was our error and Canadian Choice Windows should not be judged poorly based on this. However, we still stand by our review based on scheduling issues and calls not being returned. Plus, the damaged plant being referred to was not the ones close to the window. Those plants are understandable and were replanted as needed elsewhere during the installation. It had to do with one that was not anywhere close and yet it seemed like material was being thrown away from the house directly at it. When we asked to be a little careful and throw it away from the tree, we were asked what's so special about it.

Hello Dan, we are very concerned that you feel you have had a negative experience with our company. We are not perfect but we try to be and hope that all our customers are 100% satisfied, yet there is some things that are out of our control. Yes it is true that due to unforeseen complications in the scope of work we needed an extra entire day to complete the installation. We told you that we needed one more entire day, you replied that you were available only after 12, we then agreed that our installation team will come in the morning and finish work that needed to be done without you having to be home. We advised you that we needed you to keep the windows closed. When we arrived in the morning the windows were left open and we could not do any remaining work, as it involved capping. Therefore we had to book another day to complete the job.
One of your other concerns is that we have damaged your plant, we try to do our best to work around damaging any property but in your case there was no way around it as they were to close to the window. We did advise that if you did not want them damaged you should replant them for the time of installation.
You also claim that we provided MDF instead of wood, a recent visit to you home by our technician proved otherwise though. We would never provide something other than what is promised.
As to the leak of your door you have acknowledged that is a roof issue and has nothing to do with the door installed. When our service man showed up to your home(within a few days) to look at the leak you told him that you were aware of the roof issue and have already been in contact with the roofing company.
If we are wrong in any of this please don't hesitate to contact our service manager directly and we will try to resolve any issues.

Replacement Windows

To Start with Kevin Steer(sales) was great to talk to and a good communicator, He was very knowledgeable about the product he was selling and explained the process clearly. Jeremy and the service crew were did a great job on an older home (30yrs+) had squeezed the windows into tight spots (basement) . When all is said and done I'm very happy with the investment investment in windows for our home and would recommend this company as the got to window company.

Windows Retrofit

We were introduced to this company by Alexander Pridatko, Installation Manager. He visited our home, explained in detail what Canadian Choice Windows could offer, showed us samples of actual windows that we would receive. He was professional, courteous, on time and very thorough answering our questions.
Canadian Choice was the fourth estimate we received and they accommodated our needs within our budget.
The windows arrived and were installed within the time frame planned. The installation crew, headed by Mike, was also very professional. They installed the windows and a screen door very efficiently, cleaned up any mess made by the installation and did a great job! Our new windows are such an improvement and we are very pleased that we chose Canadian Windows and Doors for our home. Thanks, guys!
Also, Alexander stopped by our home the same day after the windows were installed to look at the installation and answer any questions. Great service!
