What recent reviews say

Most reviewers report smooth window replacements from start to finish, praising the installation crew's speed and professionalism. Named staff like Louis, Danny, Howie, and others earned consistent compliments for courtesy and skill. The main friction point: older homes sometimes need extra insulation work that reviewers felt should have been flagged upfront, and one customer faced slow estimate communication.

Praised for
  • skilled installation crew
  • competitive pricing
  • responsive communication
  • quality windows
  • efficient turnaround
Watch-outs
  • poor follow-up on estimates
  • installation gaps on older homes
  • subcontractor rudeness
  • warranty scope confusion

Think twice if: you have an older home with gaps in the original framing; check whether foam insulation is included before installation

  • named installers known for professionalism
  • straightforward pricing with no hidden costs
  • operates 7 days a week

Worth knowing

  • Staff named Louis, Danny, Howie, John, Jason, Wynter, and Winter; one review noted negative interaction with subcontractor 'Dave'
  • Installed 26 windows in one day and 25 in two days in separate jobs
  • Vinyl-only product line; they declined one customer's request to discuss wood-frame options
  • EcoShield 2200 windows repeatedly praised for value
  • Warranty covers windows only, not installation workmanship
  • Can source matching color vinyl siding on request

Common questions

How quickly can Finestra install my windows?
Reviewers report installations ranging from under an hour (5 windows) to one or two days for 18-26 windows. One customer got windows within 48 hours of requesting a 3-week timeline.
Does the warranty cover installation?
No. Finestra's warranty covers the windows themselves, not installation workmanship. One customer had to address drafts and gaps themselves because insulation was not included.
Are there options for older homes?
Finestra installs vinyl windows. A few reviews note older homes sometimes develop drafts if gaps around the frame aren't sealed with foam insulation; ask in advance whether that's included.

Bartlett Brainard handles roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and doors across West Hartford homes. Most reviewers praise the named staff-Cathy, Josh, and Karen-for responsiveness, careful estimates, and crews that leave homes spotless. Roof and window projects draw consistent five-star comments on craftsmanship and insurance coordination. Three negative reviews cite arrogant sales pitches, reluctance to bid smaller jobs, and broken promises to follow up on simple repairs, suggesting the team may deprioritize work below a certain job size.

J.T. Burke & Sons

4.9(447)✓ Google-verified

J.T. Burke & Sons handles multi-trade exterior work (roofing, siding, gutters, windows, doors) with consistent energy. Reviewers praise the family's hands-on oversight-John and Shawn appear at walk-throughs and respond fast to questions. Crews work long days, clean each evening, and catch problems before customers do (like misfit doors or damaged framing on older homes). One senior couple facing an ice dam described getting called back within 24 hours to confirm satisfaction. Named crew members and project managers keep communication tight throughout jobs. The Burkes specify upgrades like full-roof ice-and-water shields and oversized drip edges. Financing options are available. One reviewer noted nails scattered around the property after siding work, but the company addressed it when flagged. Multiple reviewers compared them favorably to other contractors they've hired.
