Window and Patio door replacement

I replaced all windows in last year, and was satisfied with their work. When I planed to replace my patio door, I called them again without any hesitation, the price is good, and the job is well done.

windows and doors

James provided excellent service as well as after service. One of our new basement screens went missing and I emailed James and asked him how to go about having it replaced. He emailed me immediately and told me "no problem", I'll send out an installer right away, which he did. We have already recommended him to other people.

Thanks Elizabeth! We will normally do any minor service for any customer as long as the request is reasonable. In fact I can't remember a service we have rejected. Most people surprisingly offer to pay and if it's minor and not covered by warranty usually we can arrange something for no payment.

replacement of windows and doors

I would recommend window choice without hesitation. The salesman Niraj was extremely helpful in assisting us with the windows and door that fit our needs. It was very refreshing to meet a salesperson where you didn't have the feeling that he was just out to make a sale at all costs. At no point did I feel intimidated or pressured. The installation staff was punctual and the quality of the workmanship was excellent.

Window Choice was recommended to me by a prior customer who also had excellent service. I have recommended them to other family members who were also fully satisfied.

Window and Door Installation

To begin with, James was very helpful in explaining the work and which windows were the most critical to replace. He was also great at giving us suggestions for which windows and doors would look best with our particular home. The actual installation, which is always the concern for home reno projects, also went great. The mostly Polish crew worked efficiently and with quality, and did a great job cleaning up. They did an absolutely amazing job with our doors and the cove moulding. There was an error with one of the doors (placement of the hinges) but that was corrected immediately and at no cost to us. Definitely recommend them!

Carmine and his wife were very easy to work with even though they were Montreal Canadiens fans. Luckily we were able to put aside our hockey biases and get them a great front door with a burgundy colour. They were having problems with cold coming through their walk-in bays. We got everything nice and insulated so they are comfortable near windows that used to get quite chilly.

Window Renovation

I have replaced my 10 windows with Window Choice. After getting a couple of quote and intensive online search for the reviews and decided to go with this company. His installers worked in professional way and as I expected, but it seems to me the guy who did the window measurement was kind of not right, because when the installers came with windows and find out there was at least two-inches short in width with the three windows in the master bedroom. I contacted James and the answers I got were that they had to leave more room for the new windows to open which I do not buy it until this moment. Overall they were doing good.

Windows replacement

This was the most horrible experience I encountered with Windows sales and installation company ever. I was left with damaged walls (interior and exterior)and water problems(went all the way in the basement). I ended up filing a complaint with BBB. My phone calls were not returned and through intervention from BBB, finally when James and Niraj did call, they would contradict each other for not returning my phone calls. Twice I took a day off from work on the schedule days and they did not come for the repairs. I waited about a year to solve this problem and eventually BBB recommend arbitration. Artibration process was not guranteed any time sooner and slight moulding was noticable in the basement drywall due to the water sipping in from the window. I was left with no choice but to hire another company for the repairs of the windows, repair for the water damage between walls and basement. If I had waited few more months, the mould would have spreaded from the basement to higher up. Added cost due to the repairs was $4,8000. James is a smooth taker. He will try to sell you with his sales pitch of customer service. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Company Response

1. Customer originally paid by credit card, two separate slips were mailed (standard post) Both were signed and mailed back. This process took about 1-2 weeks.

2. There was never any mention of water damage in any original BBB postings etc...in fact this whole dispute started over a bay window ROOF being capped that was never part of the original deal, which is why Tina was happy to sign her credit card slips.

3. The pictures attached by Tina shows the top of a wood casing with some minor drywall damage from the installation of a new window and casings. We were happy to come back and patch the small amount of drywall.

4. Tina demanded that we give her a service time guaranteed in writing with penalty. The problem was we originally were going to get appoximately $175-$225(later after threats we agreed not to charge) for the capping of roof. We did not want to do this as it is not a good idea in general to cap steel with aluminum also it takes minimum half a day. Our installer agreed to do it, but we had trouble booking around Tina and the installer's schedule. In the end after many personal insults and frivolous BBB complaints we decided to say goodbye to Tina.

5. We were definitely responsible for the minor drywall damage, but there was no interior/exterior water damage (this is the first I've heard of it), and frankly the customer started insulting the company and we had had enough. There was no court case, and I'm sure that the water damage story is mostly just an attempt to damage our reputation.

6. The other pictures appear to show normal window condensation, and quite frankly water cannot leak through the top of a window casing due to gravity. All Brick to Brick jobs are caulked around entire brickmoulds either way.

7. I'm proud of this 0/10 rating as it shows the hardship that will inevitably happen after installing thousands of jobs. This is the price of growing as a company.

8. We would have done all that Tina wanted without charge, but after numerous personal insults we were fed up. Tina is also our only BBB complaint and coincidentally our only 0/10.

New cutout window and patio door change

I favored James as he is an alumni and also came in at lowest quote for our starter home. Cut out window double hung was installed perfectly, and still looking great. The assistance installer dropped some stuff that cause a hole in our kitchen window screen and left some debris after the job was over including some nails on driveway. After complaining, James did bring a screen by for me to do. However, I do not know how and since then the hole is still there.
The patio door was leaking but even though I had ask for a frame to frame, the studs were not replaced, though I now realized that it would have required taking out the part of the deck. The additional recapping was done but I had little confidence and ask James for some caulking which I attempted to do which now made the change over horrendously worst cosmetically. After the first winter we can tell you since the stud was not replaced, there is a huge draft that comes through that same corner that I had concern about.
This year we needed the master bedroom 2 windows replaced, child's bedroom and front entry door replaced , but the wife decided not to give James another chance the prove himself as I had called on him once again and she forcefully removed him from our list.

Company Response

Firstly I would like to thank Mr. Lam for writing a review, but obviously I do have some concerns with being given a poor rating.
We performed a cutout window into a bare wall on the 2nd floor and also installed a standard patio door. All of this by the way for $1600. Studs for all types of installation whether brick to brick, or retrofit are not removed unless in extreme cases when the stud is rotten. Mr. Lam proves that I completed what he requested by mentioning that he was promised "frame to frame", now obviously my question would be what exactly Mr. Lam thinks a stud is? You see the stud is the frame, and the frame is only removed if rotten, so I am a bit confused because Mr. Lam states he wanted frame to frame, but his patio door was installed stud to stud, again with the stud being the frame. I was also aware that Mr. Lam also had a siding issue at the bottom of his patio door (Mr. Lam's back area is encased in siding with no concrete sill, just wood). Many times the existing siding is not properly sealed so people get leaks around their patio doors, or above it due to a lack of proper flashing around edges of existing siding. The installer went back and did what he could, but obviously I could not re-side the house, also it is important to note that Mr. Lam was renovating the entire house at once, so I'm sure there were other issues related to the previous condition of the house. Also Mr. Lam asked me for just the caulking and screen, he requested no more, or less, most likely because I found him to be a very nice guy. If I am not told that more is to be done, how can I do more? Also the draft is probably caused by the area between the siding and the outside of his stud. Again usually this is because whoever sided the house before Mr. Lam bought it had not properly insulated below the siding. All companies in the Window & Door industry get blamed for a lot of problems we did not cause, nor were responsible for. I hope Mr. Lam would give me a call on my personal cellphone (which he more definitely has) and would remove this poor review, or at least adjust it. Either way I heard Mr. Lam is getting the rest of his work done by Home Depot, I wish him the best of luck. As a final note I would like to state to Mr. Lam that if he wants he can call me and I will try to take care of his draft free of charge as I would rather spend the money to send an installer to spray in some foam, than suffer a bad review.
