Bryn mawr certainteed windows

We had a package deal of roof, siding and windows but I'll focus on the windows. First of all, my advice is to not go with someone who does all three and does not specialize.

The contractor is used to the windows they install and anything else is really beyond their scope. This guy spec'd the Devon line and did not understand why I wanted the Bryn Mawr line. He was only interested in putting in basic windows and did not really want to discuss doing anything interesting with different window styles - for example, I wanted to replace the two doublehung dining room windows with a large window that cranks out two panes from the middle so its a large window only split vertically.

It was like pulling teeth to get him to discuss options. Likewise, many of the doublehungs being replaced were two windows next to each other so I wanted to know if it could be replaced with two windows built as a single unit versus two separate windows.

The answer was yes but again he did not want to deal with anything complicated at first - and this was with no changes to the existing openings. I'd recommend going with someone who understands windows and can talk about options.

Also, if they say something like "Oh, I have two or three different brands I use", pin them down or better yet, find someone who knows what they are doing. As far as installation is concerned, the windows have instructions included with them and 1Call did not follow those instructions.

I even called Certainteed but they really don't care - they don't certify installers and have no mechanism to check on or review people installing their windows. The answer from 1Call is that this is how they do it. This does not replace adequate insulation. In some rooms they put the old trim back and it was done poorly.

In some rooms they "did me a favor" and trimmed the windows. In actuality, it was such a poor job it will cost me more money to make it look nice. This is probably the biggest reason I don't see the advantages of vinyl replacement windows over regular but then again, I did not get a quote on the alternatives.

Also, one of the window panes was broken when installed and they sent a Devon window instead of a Bryn Mawr and refused to accept the fact they there were different - his supplier told him they were the same but you can visibly see the difference. As our company and our name grew, we transitioned away from CertainTeed and focused on growing our own brand.
