A couple years ago, I had gotten some quotes for window replacement, but no one could seem to talk to me about the specifics of how the work would be done, trade offs between this window or that, what we should expect from the whole process --- basically the people that came out could only give a quote for some windows, not explain why, and that was it. For such a big purchase, we didn't feel comfortable without understanding more.
Fast forward to this year and we thought we'd give it another shot. Keith and the Window Specialist team were an entirely different experience. First, they have a great Windows 101 guide on their website that gave infinitely more information than I had gotten previously. I gave WS a call and Keith came out, spent an hour with me answering all kinds of questions (and more questions, and more questions), and helped put together several different configurations of window quotes that met various needs. Throughout the process they were patient, generous with their time, and extremely helpful.
If you're looking to get windows replaced, I highly recommend reaching out to Keith and talking with him. I learned a lot about windows and feel very comfortable now with the choices we've made in our replacement journey.
