Our house is over 20 years old. Despite our best efforts to keep the windows and frames maintained and painted every year, they finally became too much. Climbing a ladder to paint 2nd floor windows every year was not a fun activity. The windows looked shabby and dated. After a great deal of internet research, visiting showrooms and vendors we asked for quotes from 5 suppliers. The vendor's pitches ranged from shady (trying to push triple pane glass and spacer technology on us) to outrageously expensive. Otto from Canadian Choice was the exception. His presentation was very thorough and his company’s products definitely matched our needs. Otto took the time to measure all the window, demonstrated the company’s products and made some excellent suggestions as to the types of windows available.
The price Canadian Choice quoted was not the cheapest but in our estimation provided the best value. It was because of Otto and the relatively quick installation timeline (~6 weeks) that we decided to go with them.
Between the time we put the down payment in and the day of the installation, we were contacted by several people from Canadian Choice. The installer (Vitali) also paid us a visit to double check the measurements and to give us an idea of what to expect on the day of installation. We also had questions and received very prompt responses from Otto.
On the day of the installation, Vitali and his crew showed up at 8 AM and within an hour, a lot of the old windows were uninstalled and neatly piled on the lawn! Vitali's crew are fast and very professional.
I stopped by to check on the progress around noon and a lot of the new windows were already installed. When I returned home from work around 4, they were almost done. The work was completed, the debris removed, the area swept and a run through of the work done by 6 PM. Please note that because of the number of windows being installed Canadian Choice had told us to expect a 2-day installation. Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised that everything was done in one day.
We’re very pleased with the installation and the service from Canadian Choice. We will be having our front door/screen door replaced next year and Canadian Choice will be our first choice!
