I talked to these folks at the Everett Home Show. They subsequently called and their representative came and looked at my house. I was very impressed with him. He understood that I had a limited budget so would only replace the windows that were failing. (I have an old farmhouse that has had several remodels) He was also able to write up a contract for the windows I needed pending my refi that was in process. (There potentially would be a 60 day wait for the process to finalize) \r
As soon as the funds were available, I called Harley Exteriors to have them start the process. There was someone out to measure the windows that afternoon. \r
On Aug. 20th, an installer came to put the windows in. He was punctual and very efficient. Before he started the installation, he checked all the windows to verify dimensions. Then he put down drop cloths to protect the flooring. I watched the installation of all 4 windows. The first three went in very quickly but the installer checked all of them to make sure that they were functioning without binding. It was interesting to see how he adjusted them to make them work well. The last window he had to change out was an aluminum framed garden window that was an aftermarket addition to the house. It had a 2"" flange nailed to the outside of the house with 8 to 10 nails on each side--a nightmare. After it was finally installed, the siding on the house around the window was really irregular. The installer suggested putting a trim board around the window. It completely cleaned up the ""messy"" appearance. It was amazing who much lighter and bigger the inside of the room looked after that window was changed out.\r
I am extremely pleased with all of my new windows and the great experience that I had with Harley Exteriors. I would highly recommend them.
