Get matched with top window pros in Elysian, MN

"The windows were as we expected. We can now feel the effectiveness of the windows in terms of insulation from outside cold."

"Very quick service and quote. Came out within a few days of calling to assess and quote replacement for broken window pane. Glass as ordered, came within 3 weeks and was installed the next day. Great service and the window pane looks like new."

"I had Isaiah come out and give me a quote on my bathroom window (We did a bathroom remodel). They were able to work with us on scheduling, and the installers did a great job."

"Our project was actually a crawlspace encapsulation. We have a lake cabin that was built in the 1960's. It had a dirt floor in the crawlspace with bare block masonry foundation walls. It also had old, damp batt insulation that was falling down from the joist spaces. American Waterworks came in, removed the old insulation (a nasty job!), laid down a 2 layer moisture barrier system and spray foamed the foundation walls and rim joist area. I can't believe what a difference this has made to our air quality, much warmer floors. We used to have to wipe down the windows every morning during the winter because of condensation. Not any more! I would highly recommend this company if you have the same needs!!"

"I didn't realize when I spoke with the rep that the interior window frames would not be replaced with the windows but I actually love having the original interior frames. It looks better for my older home."

"This is the second year we have hired this company to clean our windows: inside and out, sills, screens. They couldn't be more courteous or professional! We are grateful they could come during the pandemic and appreciate their good work."

"I came in with the windows on Monday, was given a price and told the windows would be repaired Tuesday and available for pick up Wednesday. That is exactly how it went. I am pleased with the work and would use them again."

"Sooo....first, Jim is a very nice guy.  However, Jim now works in Nashville during the week and is only home to the Huntsville area on the weekends.
My first impression of him was that he was awesome.  My computer system had crashed because I pulled the plug during a thunder storm before the computer fully shut down which resulted in the computer hanging up.  Jim took my call while in Tennessee and suggested how to fix the system.  For this I am very grateful.

What happened next was I had him come and check my computer to make sure everything was working properly.  He came to my house and spent an hour tweaking it (basically running various checks on the system), for which I paid him $50.  He suggested that my laptop would work much better if I had Windows 7 and increased my RAM up to 4 GB.  He said he could install it for me for (including the RAM) for about $160.  We met the following weekend for the handoff and he loaded Window 7.  When I received the call it was ready, the bill was $227.50.  I was surprised that is was $70 more than quoted, but paid it anyways.  When I asked about the RAM, he mentioned he did not upgrade the RAM and this would be another $60.  I was a little discouraged at that point since I felt like I was being taken advantage of, but the guy is relatively nice, so I said to go ahead and order the RAM.  He did so and the following weekend was supposed to install it.  Due to some personal things in his life, he wasn't able to install it, so I picked it up since I had to go out of town and could use the IT guy at my new location to install it for me.  When we went to install the RAM, the system wouldn't let us do it since my particular type of laptop can only take 2GB of RAM max.  If Jim had gone to the crucial.com website (where he bought my RAM) and entered my computer system on it, it would have told him the max amount of RAM that could be installed on that unit.  He did not do that.  He is supposed to refund my $60 this next weekend.

I think if Jim wasn't burning the candle at both ends by having a job in Tennessee during the week and trying to run this business on the weekends, it would've been a better experience.  Perhaps taking a few extra minutes to SLOW DOWN and write out an estimate of everything he would need for the job including the prices would ensure people know up front how much the repair would/should cost so they can budget accordingly.  I think if he had taken that approach, it might've been a better experience.  So now I am stuck with a laptop that runs slower because Windows 7 uses more memory and a laptop that can't be upgraded to more RAM.  Basically, the last step which cost me almost $300 was not necessary.  If you need something simple done like coming back from a system crash, he would be okay to use.  Otherwise, for the bigger jobs, I recommend he provide a written estimate with the items he plans to do.

UPDATE:  After posting this review, I received a number of text messages from Jim commenting on the bad review.  I understand he is upset, but harassing someone about a review is not a good way to go.  My review was honest and not meant to be mean, but to let those that use Angie's list get what they pay for...an honest review of someone's experience."

"This is a routine service, usually costing around $60 and done in your driveway by a mobile technician. It is also covered without a deductible by most auto insurance policies. You can save a lot by dropping the glass coverage on your policy, but you'll then need to cover these repairs yourself.
For cheapskates like me, they offer a coupon for A List members. If you make an appointment to bring the car to their shop at 8AM, before the technician leaves on his rounds, they do it for $40. It takes about 15 minutes. Great deal for me ($20 savings) and it saves them at least that on travel. Win, win. Needless to say, I've saved way over $40 on glass coverage over the years.
Results vary depending on the nature of the chip, but mine is virtually invisible. Best of all, they replace your windshield for free if the chip spreads into a crack, which is very unlikely because the resin is at least as strong as the original glass.
