raquel from Brampton

Ambia was one of the companies that responded quickly to my request for quotes.. I had four (4) quotes from companies that I did my research for and it was an easy choice to go with them. All the reviews are good and even though they were not the cheapest -they met all the points that I was looking for. Cameron -a very nice young man :) came in as scheduled (nov 1st) to show some of their previous jobs, and explained the difference between the brick to brick and retrofit installation.. He took the initial measurements -and promised to send the quotes within the week. After 2 days -I received a very detailed quote of both installation -itemized with all the measurements and materials, and warranty information, even comes with some references and pictures as samples. After a week, I finally decided to go with Ambia as they were the best in my opinion among the companies that I got quotes from. I signed the contract on Nov 13th - via e-mail correspondence -the best way for me becoz not only did I have a record of the quote and contract but I also have easy access to the documents in case I need them for reference in the future. George (I hope I spelled it right) -the installer came by on Nov 27 for the final measurements. Tony called in the 3rd week of January to let me know that the windows and sliding doors are ready, so he would like to schedule the installation within the next few days. We agreed to do the install on Jan. 25th and he e-mailed a prep list that I can refer to before the day of the installation. George and a young guy (sorry my mom forgot to ask for his name) came before 9am. My parents were home so they were able to see the progress and they were very impressed as george and his assistant were very fast installing all the windows and patio door by the end of the day. Cameron even came by to check in. They left cleaning up as best as they could. The next day, George came in a little after 8am and finished the framing and all the trimmings. He was all done after lunch. I did not do the review early on, as I want to make sure that there would be no issues with the installation -I am very particular with contractors as I myself work with an engg firm. And I can say that Ambia has exceedingly met my expectations, and would gladly recommend them to my friends and neighbors. Thank you to Cameron, Tony and George and his assistant for a job well done. Scope of work: Brick to brick installation for one (1) bay window, three (3) windows on the 2nd floor rooms, two (2) windows on the main floor and a sliding backyard/patio door. With colonial brickmould style. Set timeframe -7 to 9 weeks. For reference. 2 photos showed the old windows (with obvious wear and tear) before installation. All the rest of the pictures are the new install.

reviews are always helpful.. to homeowners like me, they are the windows to every contractors' job whether done right or not. am thankful for this site so as most people have done, I too am putting in my share of experience.. so here goes.. Called the company hotline on Monday.. a guy named Daryll gave me an e-mail address for me to send my info..he called back the next day and scheduled to look at my furnace on Wednesday.. Leroy- the repair guy came around 7pm and checked the old furnace, he consulted with Rob-the owner and gave me a reasonable estimate on how much it would cost me to replace the unit..I called in Friday to tell Rob I wanted to include and upgrade the A/C as well so we agreed on another estimate. I had a scheduled appointment to have it replaced on the weekend which was a plus for me since no one is at home during the day on weekdays. The installers, Jamie and Peter came in before lunch time-saturday, explained what they had to do.. laid down some covering on the floor, and went right down to start the work. Removing the old furnace, putting in the new one, installing the piping and a/c unit were all done before 9pm. Jamie-a very nice guy was quick to answer all my questions and concern.. They cleaned up after the work and left the area as it was before. I can definitely say that this company meets my expectation.. they were recommended by a friend, and I would recommend them as well without doubt.
