"McCann Windows was great! Kevin McCann came out promptly to look over the job and sent an estimate that was fairly priced (that came in the middle of the other estimates). We went with McCann because the price was fair, Kevin was very professional and informative, and took the time to answer our questions. It took a little longer than I expected for the windows to come in, but the slider turned out to be a custom order, and there was no extra charge. Once the windows were delivered, the installation team was fantastic! They worked hard all day, met the timeline to install that they promised, were personable and professional, and the cleanup afterwards was perfect. We will only go with McCann to finish our window replacements. We are very happy."

"We bought a 100-year-old house in late 2011 and, in the past nine years, have had more contractors than I can count work on it—plumbers, electricians, HVAC, masons, you name it. I start my review that way simply to note that we have extensive, years-long experience hiring and working with many, many contractors. Some have been good, some bad, and a few, well above average. Anthony Giangrossi and our two-man crew, Marco and Edgar, probably rank at the top of the list. The first clue came when Anthony came out to give us an estimate. He walked around the house, taking his time, noting all kinds of things, pointing issues out, explaining things. Of our multiple quotes, he came in the highest—about twice the price of the our other quotes. But the reviews we saw on Angie’s List and elsewhere were so good that something made me keep him in consideration as we sorted through the quotes. Eventually, we decided to bite the bullet and hire Anthony. We have not had a single moment when we have regretted the decision. In fact, I’d say Anthony has been the single most responsive (and responsible) contractor we’ve ever hired, period. He responds promptly, explains things clearly and understandably, and is genuinely concerned that you make the decision that will make you happiest. One major reason we went with Dynamic Colors is because of the prep work. The condition of the previous paint job was okay and the wood underneath, for the most part, was solid. But Anthony promised—and delivered—on what is probably the most thorough and careful job of prep work I’ve ever seen. It took Marco and Edgar the better part of a week to prep just two sides of the house (because of the cost, we split the job over two years). Marco and Edgar took their time, were diligent, thorough, and meticulous. Cleanup at the end of every day was so remarkable that, except for the tools and materials they left in place, you’d never have known that anything was going on at all. Once the prep and power washing were complete, painting began. Same thing: diligent, thorough, and meticulous. Nothing rushed, nothing skipped. Although we never changed our minds on the house color or the trim color, we dithered and changed our minds more than once on the stain for the front steps, for the porch, and for the front door. Anthony was supportive, patient, and helpful throughout. It took us some time to settle on what we wanted (or thought we wanted) and all three were amazing throughout the entire process. The house (at least the two sides they worked on) are in better shape than when we began. They silently made little (or not-so-little) repairs, fixed things, took care in disassembling and reassembling things (like the front door hardware). One day, I saw Marco cleaning the storm windows before he put them back in place. Cleaning the storm windows! I would venture to guess that 99+% of painters out there are going to do a beautiful job of simply putting the windows back in place. How many of them will actually take the time to clean every storm window, front and back, before replacing it? We still aren’t certain what to do about the front steps and railings, but Anthony was there every step of the way to offer advice on how to proceed so that if we change our minds by next spring, he can revise what they’ve done with the least amount of time and effort. One downspout has been leaking noisily since they replaced it. I can’t emphasize clearly enough how attentive Anthony has been in getting that resolved. I wish they cost less. But they are worth every penny they charge. We have not regretted choosing them for an instant, are very pleased with the job, and would recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever."

"Excellent job- guys are very knowledgeable in all aspects of heating/air conditioning, as well as what it takes to install new ductwork without ruining my apartment. Would recommend them highly."

"Came out promptly and replaced two skylights."

"After a bad storm in 2017 we had contractors all over our subdivision looking for work. As a rule if you knock on my door I won't use you. We had 6 door knockers and contacted 5 others. We actually started working with two different contractors first. One didn't have the proper insurance and one came in very expensive. They did get the insurance process started but were not what we wanted. I contacted 3 more contractors. One of them was Professional Home Improvement. Mel came over reviewed what the insurance company had approved and realized that they had missed several items that needed to be included but was left out. He also came up with an estimate right away. It was a good estimate and included several items that the other companies had not so we went with his company. He contacted the insurance company and got the additional items approved. He also had his insurance company send his proof of insurance directly to us instead of just giving us a copy. We had to wait a few weeks for them to start the roof which was fine since it had been almost a year since we started looking for a contractor. I also felt that good contractors are busy so there would be a wait. The old roof was torn off and the new on was installed with ice and water shield in one day. The crew did a great job and even went around the house with a big magnet to pick up any nails that were in the grass or on the deck. A few weeks later they started on the siding and window trim. after removing the siding they installed 3/8's of an inch of insulation and wrapped the house in Tyvek. When installing the siding there were a few issues that came up but since I was there while they were doing the install we were able to solve them right away and continue on. They even pointed out that on the gutters, which had been installed 17 years ago, The nails were starting to pull out of the brackets. So while they were installing the siding I was fixing the loose gutters. The finished product looks great. I've even had neighbors stop by just to tell us that how nice the house and the siding look. I am very happy with the job that was done."

"Great customer service, solid installation, and amazing warranty. Replaced old rotted wood, framing, and sealing."

"The installers are at least as important as the brand of windows. I have had windows replaced by other companies before. None were as qualified as Murphy's. I interviewed over 15 other window companies for a large job, 12 town homes. Over $170K+ in work for our condo association. Murphy's was the only company willing to go the extra step to earn our business. They presented detailed drawings and worked with the window manufacturer to come up with a solution for our complex. The owner Jimmy was professional, prompt, and honest. He is truly a man of his word. His team led by master carpenter Dave was on time, professional, and very respectful. It is rare to see such skilled craftsmen today. They tore out and replaced windows systematically and on time. Most importantly the work was done correctly to a very high standard. The work was impeccable. They went above and beyond the scope of the project. I highly recommend Murphy's."

"Marc responded quickly to our call for an estimate, helped us pick out paint colors and provided a very fair estimate for his services.  His work on the exterior and interior were excellent and the front door now provides good curb appeal for our house.  He cleaned up all supplies and left the house in clean condition - I just had to vacuum up some dust in the bathroom from his sanding of the walls.  I would not hesitate to use his services again in the future for either exterior or interior work"
