New home

I ordered the windows and doors for the 4300 sf house. The window and door received with 6 5/8" thick jamb which does not work for brick/stone exterior. The doors was shipped with no brick mould. Call the office to resolve the problem and no one calls me back. Talked to the sale man a few time and it seems that it is not his job. Product is good except a mistake to the jambs. The service is horrible.

Company Response

Mr. Vo,
Gem is responding to your unfair one sided review of Gem. Gem is one of the oldest and most reputable window and door companies in Toronto for over 54 yrs. Your accusations are false and undefendable. You are a contractor that builds and renovates you came into our showroom and viewed all your options and products available to you. As you stated here the Product is Good! The size of the jambs and the need for brickmold varies from each build and we do not determine this , the builder who knows what he needs based on his finish and materials determines the overal depth and whether he wants or needs an exterior BM. Our consultant Seymour in our showroom asked you if you wanted a BM and you declined as you stated you did not want it on this order. After you received your windows you called us that you have a problem that the windows are not the correct depth. We offered you a solution to fix your ERROR! with a sill extention total cost $1100 + hst , you have not contacted us back so that we may help you. As far as the door the same problem and error was made by you we can help you but it seems like you only want to blame others for your over site . Gem builds what you order and sign for, you should have verified your measurements on site we could have altered depth of jambs before completion of order.Documentation with your signiture verifying all sizes and window specification can be provided to you or any reader upon request. . Gem cannot be responsible unless we measure and install. We welcome constructive reviews that are factual but we also want our readers to have a balanced story on this type of situation were the customer ordered the wrong sizes and wants to vent and blame others for their mistakes. We are willing to help you, feel free to call us if you would like assistance.
Respectfully,
Spriros Christopoulos
President

Window Replacement

I wanted to wait at least a year to post a review on the new window we had installed in a rental unit to see how the performance of the windows during the winter season. The window held up extremely well...Installation of the windows went seamless. We are very pleased!

Windows and Sliding Door

I am happy with the work the Installers did, considering the cold weather, they did an excellent job. I found the office staff courteous and pleasant. I had used GEM in the past to replace other windows and in both instances I was satisfied with their products and service.

Windows

A Gem rep. came and measured the windows. In a few days an estimate arrived by email. I accepted it and they came to verify the measurements. I was called when the windows were to be installed and the installers arrived on time, placed carpets throughout the work area and did the installation in a timely manner. They cleaned up afterwards and gave a demonstration on how the windows operate. I had used Gem previously and used them this time because of the great service they provided.

new windows installed

We were extremely pleased with the level of customer service, from the initial contact in the store to the actual window installation. We are repeat customers as we had purchased our front door from GEM 5 years ago. We are very happy with our new windows!

Exterior Door

Gem Windows and doors

I ordered a replacement front door from GEM Windows and doors, a combination
exterior door with two side lights, a fiberglass door
with 2 venting side lites.

The process started March 4 2014. March 4 2014 I called the office to
arrange a time to visit the office and sort out the details. I met with
Philip Constand on March 6 2014. We finalized the style and colour.
Philip came up with a price of $8226.40 and I provided a deposit of $3200.

I live in Prince Edward County.
Philip said he would arrange to have the installer, Joe, visit and make
measurements. Through April, May and June I contacted Philip to see
when the installer would visit. Finally the measurements were done and
the wait continued waiting for installation. During the wait an
additional self storing door with retractable screen was added to the
order.

The two man installer crew arrived Monday, July 28 2014.
When the work was complete, Joe, the installer asked me to watch him as he
assembled the screen in the screen door. I realized why two days later
when I got up and the screen had retracted by its self. I was able with
the help of a local installer to repair the screen door with the screen
still accessible. The fix lasted one day. The screen is no longer
accessible the spring has pull the screen into the door. The screen now
flaps in the wind. It is now clear why the installer wanted to
show me how to assemble the door when it needed repair.
I have called Philip at GEM multiple times with no solution. Dozens
of times he has promised to have the manucaturer come and repair the
screen.

In December 2014 I received a call saying that someone would come and repair
the screen door in the week of January 12 2015. Well no one came and I
am still waiting. There was no contact number so I my only option is to
contact GEM. Philip has quit answering calls and returning calls.

As you can see from the other GEM entries to HomeStars web site there are
multiple complaints regarding the retractable screens.
I am not the only complainant.

I would appreciate if you can get any action from GEM.
