I recently had all my windows and a sliding door done by Leatherdale and was very pleased with the install. Gary and his team were recommended by a number of people in the neighborhood, plus I was able to see some of his work since quite a few people has used him. There was approximately a one month delay on the installation however it was at the end of the home renovation tax credit so I understood and Gary had warned me earlier that it was the craziest he had ever seen it.
Since this was my first house and my first big purchase I was very cautious selecting a company. I got quotes from 4 companies including the big names that I don’t need to mention. All of them wanted to leave the existing frame and just replace the windows. Not Gary! He was quick to point out the flaws in that approach and the benefits of replacing everything (brick to brick). All the companies I spoke with agreed that brick to brick install is preferred but they all leaned towards just replacing the windows to keep the cost low. What I liked about Gary was that he gave it to me straight… he didn’t have to meet his quota at the end of the month like so many of those salesman. He wanted the best solution for both of us. I like that! I like the fact that he was mindful of my interests and the reputation of his business. The price was a little more going with a brick to brick install but not much as what the other companies were charging. In addition to the windows Gary also installed some vinyl siding around a couple of my windows and above my garage which really finish it off nicely. Clean-up was efficient and the window trim he used was good quality. Naturally I had concerns as would any first time home buyer replacing all their windows; however after seeing Gary’s workmanship all my worries were put to rest. Despite the delays I would definitely use him again and recommend his services.
