We hired Ambia to replace six 28 year old windows with Vinylbilt windows. Of the contractors we had in to provide quotes, Michael was very knowledgeable, honest and provided the best quote. He was very detailed in explaining the installation process and the options available. Unlike some of the other contractors, he made recommendations based on what made sense economically. 5 of the 6 windows were brick to brick installations with the exception of the bay window. Doing a brick to brick installation would have added a further $1500-2000 to the installation cost (due to rebuilding it) and would most likely take over 20 years to pay itself of in energy savings. The wood frame was still in good shape so they capped it with metal, which looked awesome in the end. Also, the warranty provided is good/transferable (not all companies have a warranty like this). Payment was easy as they accepted both email transfers and cheque. The windows were installed by a two-man crew. They showed up at 8am and were gone shortly before 4pm. George and the other fella were very respectful, professional and got the job done right. We are very pleased with the windows and the installation. The trim we chose is better than the standard and looks great. The rooms are much warmer, there are no more drafts and my wife doesn't have to ask me to open the windows that were seized shut. If I had to do it again, I would go with Ambia again.

Thank you Rob for taking the time to write a review including photos. We appreciate your compliments and for recognizing Michael's recommendations and are installers workmanship.
It is good to hear you are already benefiting from the new windows.
