I live in a townhouse where the dining room window is huge and extends far down near level with the yard. My folks had previous experience with Norkik windowns and Verdun going back 20 years. A positive experience.
The window that was changed is 101 inches high and 78 inches wide. Its a big job made more difficult because there is a stairway to go downstairs right by the window. Don't try this with your eyes closed!
Three Verdun employees showed up early in the morning and worked well as a team. It took them about 3 hours in total. It was quite the job when you think about it. They had to get setup; remove the old window; prep the surface for the new window. The installation of the window went well, and then there was the work of insulation (foam) and finally the finishing trim. The window seems like a high quality unit (expected), and much better than the original window that came with the house (expected). The most impressive part of the installation was the finishing. It took them 1 hour alone with one person working inside (for the mouldings) and two people working outside (for the flashing and all) to complete this part of the work. They had the proper tools and know-how to do the job right and they took the time needed to ensure it was well done.
Conclusion: the window looks great and is a quality window that should provide me years of good service (expected). But the fact that a quality window is provided by quality installers with an attention to detail is a great benefit to a job well done (surprize).
Being a difficult install, I do have a bit of sanding and painting to do (minor), but this is merely a detail in an otherwise job well done.
