"I would give Champion and Danny six stars if I could. We have a 1934 Tudor house with original wood (oak) windows and doors. The old single pane windows were drafty and hard to open, and the exterior storm windows (from the 1950s) were ugly and ineffective. The wood window frames and doors were beat up and the shellac finish had bubbled and cracked. I go into more detail about the window replacement shopping process below because it took us a long time to figure out the right way to do it. Danny knew exactly how to do this job! The window installation was fairly simple but the refinishing of the window frames and doors was really handcrafted, so the entire job took six weeks from the construction start date (and perhaps another eight weeks from time we agreed on the scope until the installation began). Danny and every member of his team had exceptional customer service. They arrived on time, and called to let us know they were five minutes away. Every person associated with the job put in a full day's work with exceptional focus on the job at hand. There were frequent check-ins to make sure we were on board with decisions about say leaving hardware on the doors or variations in stain color. They left the house spotless every day and were considerate of noise, cats, home office work, everything. The work is stunning and reflects craftsmanship and attention to detail that went far beyond our standards. The windows Danny recommended (Trimline), while not a name brand, are fantastic and much better quality in our view than the Andersen product sold by Home Depot. The price was fair and worth every pretty penny. Danny threw in a major gift "a custom rebuild of an attic window frame and door" that we would have happily paid for. More research showed that Trimline was a smallish factory outside of Pennsylvania, and the Brooklyn Heights historic district approved them. We compared a sample to the Andersen window at Home Depot and there was no comparison. Trimline was sturdier, easier to operate, aesthetically cleaner lines and indeed all that has proved to be the case now that they are installed. The warranties seemed to be identical to Andersen. Danny was extra careful in the measurements and orderingtexting me frequently to make sure he had the correct finish and style on the hardware, for example. Danny said the windows (we have 24 of them) would take a week to install and he could do it if the weather was above 40 degrees I think. So we installed in the middle of January (!); we went on a trip, and they were in place when we returned. Danny and the installer both made sure we checked every window and understood how to open them for cleaning. Very easy. The staining of the wood interior window panels and the sanding and staining of the window frames and doors (22 doors) was labor intensive to say the least. Danny's subcontractor John created a test window so we could review the color of the stain and the satin poly coat."
