In 2010, I purchased a condominium with a wonderful view of the St. Lawrence River. It also came with a view of the highway that runs alongside it, and noise! I thought I would be able to adjust, but the din was terribly intrusive, day and night. I finally decided to do some research into soundproofing windows, and came upon Encore Home Improvements and their BQuiet Soundproof windows. I sent an e-mail and got an answer within 24 hours. After that, things moved quickly. Anthony came down from Toronto to take measurements and confirm what was best for my needs. The order arrived on time and installation was completed promptly by Michael. I am very satisfied with the results. I can still hear some traffic noise (this was expected, as the windows cannot eliminate 100% of the noise), but it is much less intrusive, and I can sleep soundly at night without ear plugs. Some of my neighbours have come to see and are impressed with the results, not to mention the interior aspect of the finished product. The building will be replacing the exterior windows within the next few years, so this wll only improve on the noise reduction that I have already experienced.
The only minor problem encountered was a delay in receiving my warranty (apparently a postal code mixup). But I have it now, so that has been resolved.
I have no hesitation in recommending Encore Home Improvements. I found Anthony to be responsive to all my inquiries and concerns, and Michael was kind enough to show me how to remove the windows (though I might need a refresher in a few years)!
