Windows replaced

Clera was a great company to work with, they came out to give us a quote within 72hrs of filling out their service request online. Windows came in early and were installed very professionally. No complaints about the sales department or installers. All wonderful and helpful people.

Very happy with my new 2nd floor windows

I am extremely satisfied with my new windows and the process to get them was a very pleasant experience from start to finish. I greatly appreciated Marco's thoroughness and expertise in suggesting the best ways to replace three badly aging 2nd floor windows. Fidel and the other installers also did a fantastic job putting them in neatly and effiently - and it was also a welcome surprise to have the windows ready for installation two months sooner than expected! I highly recommend Clera and intend to use them again when the time comes to replace other windows, along with any doors, for my home.

An absolute disappointment every step of the way.

It was a no brainer for us to call Clera for the windows as our new house as we had worked with them previously (3 times, to be exact!) at our previous address as we replaced the windows.

This time, we met with our rep Jacqueline, who happened to be our previous reps daughter (what a small world!). Jacqueline was quick to get back to us, assured that our windows and doors would contribute to a green energy rebate, and told us that the colour we had chosen (black) was the colour of the vinyl. I specifically asked if they were painted, and was told no.

We have a metal roof. Jacqueline asked that we call our roof company to check about the warranty, as one of the windows we needed to replace was above the garage, and that we may need to rent a lift. After speaking to our roofing company, we confirmed that our warranty would be voided if anyone walked on the roof. We booked an installation day, and booked the lift that was required. This cost us just under $1000.

The lift was not used. It sat in the driveway for two days, and it was evident that they installers had walked all over the roof. When I sent a concerned email with photos to Jacqueline, we received a phone call from one of the installers assuring us that they "do this all the time," and that they "know what they are doing." I never heard from Jacqueline. I called the office several times, and had to leave voicemail messages noting damage done to my house above walking on the roof (they chipped our freshly painted brick, dripped black paint all over my walls and trim, and scratched the hard wood floors).

We had booked an energy audit for our home after the installation in order to get a federal rebate. We were instructed to have all of the labels left on the windows for the auditor. We were assured that this would be done, but they were removed. I had to follow up 3 times (again by leaving voicemails at the office) for the information about the windows and doors to pass along. I only received information for the windows, and was told that the doors don't qualify. At this point, I was adamant for the information, as I didn't trust their advice. However, they were correct on this that the doors did not qualify. Had we been told the correct information in the first place, we would have chosen a different door model, or gone elsewhere if they were unable to deliver an adequate product.

After the installation was complete, there were some parts that were needed, and these were delivered. Once this was complete, I reached out once more requesting a refund for the lift that we rented, at a minimum, as our roof warranty was now voided, and that they were not transparent about the product we were purchasing. I see now that our $30,000 job was not that important to Clera, but the additional monies spent on the lift is just salt on the wound.

What an absolute disappointment, and I had had to caution anyone that I had previously referred to this company. The communication is sub-par, and honestly, the products that we were sold are far below the expectations that were set by the company.

Dear Clera Valued Customer,
Thank you very much for choosing Clera windows and doors for your window and door replacement project!. We are very sorry to hear about your bad experience specially you being a repeat customer. As per our records your installation was completed last year in May 2022 and we didn’t get any complaints from you in the last 11 months. Vinyl comes in white and there is no company that is using black colour vinyl as that would absorb all the heat and it could distort the windows. We paint the entire window compared to painting just the extrusions or using cap stock where the joints need to be touched up by the customer, so you received a much better-quality window. We are sorry that you had to rent a boom lift, your local branch has already contacted you about this. Your garage roof (not the house roof) did not allow our installers to use a boom lift and they had to stand on your garage roof in order to install the front windows. Our installers informed you during the installation that it was the only way to get to the windows considering roof over your garage.
Your contract was signed in 2021 and the rebate program was new at that time and there must have been some miscommunication between you and your local branch. Swing doors with full glass do not qualify for rebates and since it was not indicted in your signed purchase agreement that you will be applying for the rebate, there was no way for our head office to catch that.
We apologize for your bitter experience, however, we assure you that your windows are much better quality than your previous homes and they come with a lifetime warranty so you could have a peace of mind.

We thank you for your business and wish you the best!

Love my new doors

Clera installed my new doors and I love the high quality and great look ... now I have draft free doors and a much cleaner look than what I had ... the installers Mark and Eric were very friendly and did a great job intstalling and cleaning up any mess ... I would recommend them and their product !! I found that the door had a gap at the bottom and lets light through so that also will let air through , contacted Eric about the problem and he said it was a easy fix .... Well its almost a month later and I have NOT had the problem fixed I am so dissappointed in the after service .............CALLED Eric and inquired about the repair date and he was here within a week and now everything is fixed and he also gave me a hint about the thingy on my storm door because it was closing too fast ... great job and I am very happy with my choice of doors ( my cat loves the new storm door now she doesnt need a stool to look out at the world)

Fast efficient lifetime warranty service

A few of my 10 year old Clera windows had a plastic hardware piece crack and break off. I contacted Rita at customer service and she quickly shipped out new parts, and a couple of extra too, and I easily replaced them and windows are functioning properly again. I havent had any other issues with their windows and this one was easily fixed. I would highly recommend Clera.
