My house is about 27 years old and still had the original builders wood frame windows which I have painted and caulked more times than I care to remember. Being retired now and looking to the future I didn't want to continue this level of maintenance in the years to come. Especially sine my house is two stories. The difficulty in finding a reputable window company thus began. What I discovered in my research was that most of the companies out there look good but do not manufacture their own product. They, therefore are just installers. I did consider fiberglass but the cost was about 25% more than vinyl and the product did not seem to justify the difference. When I came across Clera I was impressed with the length of time that they have been in business, the fact that they manufacture there own product and the lifetime guarantee. My installation was brick to brick as I did not see the point in spending all that money and ending up with the old wood frames still in place and 10% or so less glass area. It took two days to complete the job as I had all of the windows, including the basements replaced in a 2500 square foot house.
The job was done completely to mine and my wifes' satisfaction. The installers treated my home as they would there own. They were polite and courteous. One of the things that was important to me was to also have window sills installed and Clera was able to do that. Most other companies did not offer that option. It has really changed the look of the windows from the inside and is more classic than just framing the window like a picture.
Bottom line....I feel my money was well spent and I would recommend their services.
