We recently completed a large full-home window and door replacement with Shinnova, including dozens of custom windows, multiple entry doors, and two patio doors, and we are very happy with the overall experience.Jeremy, our salesman, was straightforward and easy to work with. He stayed involved throughout the process and did what he said he would do. Butch, their installation and service manager, was outstanding. He was thorough with measurements, double checked everything, and was on site during installation. You can tell he knows his craft.All of our windows and doors were custom, including a custom sliding door. The order to installation timeline was about what they estimated, around six weeks. Installation took roughly a week and a half to two weeks, which felt reasonable given the size of the project.There were a few ordering mistakes along the way. Two entry doors and a few window sets were ordered incorrectly. To their credit, they caught the issues themselves, did not try to pass them off as acceptable, and rushed replacements without hesitation. One front door had a minor issue and we mutually agreed to keep it. There were also some shipping-related problems that HGI handled under warranty without question, and Shinnova promptly installed the replacements.The difference in the house is noticeable. Our original 25-year-old single-hung windows had failing balances and locks. These new windows seal tightly, lock well, and are noticeably quieter. Even thunderstorms sound different inside the house. The flex screens are a nice touch. The entry doors feel solid and the reinforcement is appreciated. The sliding doors operate very smoothly.Overall, HGI’s windows and doors seem well built, and Shinnova stands behind what they sell. No project of this size is perfect, but they handled issues the right way. We are pleased with the result.
I highly recommend working with Shinnova for your window needs!I was fortunate enough to work with Nick Crabtree. He was thorough, kind, and answered all my questions. He kept me informed through the process and even came back after install to ensure I was happy.Butch was a great project manager as well. His team was efficient and there was nothing to clean up.Our windows were installed with ZERO issues. They fit, lift, and latch perfectly.We replaced all of our VERY old windows and a sliding glass door and couldn't be happier. Thanks Nick and Butch!
Great company to work with! A special thank you to our salesman Nick Crabtree helping us navigate this process and to the install team headed by Butch for the care taken in replacing our 67 year old windows.
We have had our solar system installed for about 2 weeks and are loving the ability to take some stress off the grid! Everyone at Shinnova Solar has been amazing to work with. Matt made the planning and informational visit smooth and easy to understand. Bri helped keep us informed on our instillation processes and the installers were so kind and curious of our home. Thank you for everything!
Wonderful company to use. Dan has been a pleasure to talk to and work out details. The window crew was meticulous and perfect. Siding will be done tomorrow and home couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.
