The Window Place Plus

My new home’s windows are all foggy and spotty, and they need to be replaced. I have been trying to avoid replacing the entire window not only because it’s expensive, but complicated. My home owner association has their rules and requires their approval, requires to match the brown color outside, requires the roof and siding company to come back to check on the new window installation to make sure the no one screw up the siding so siding warranty won’t be voided.
However, I have no luck in finding the manufacturer info on the window. There are some printed label but the printed information are all faded. A glass shop told my windows are indeed not insulated glass unit, they were just two panes of glass, low E on the outside and clear glass on the inside. It was the low E went bad, and the seal of on the sash cracked. The glass shop said even if they replaced the glass, same thing is going to happen in 3 – 5 years. No one knows who made these big sliding windows, and I have 5 of them.
I lost hope and decided to go with window replacement. I searched online and found The Window Place Plus has good reviews, which they deserve by the way. So, I gave them a call on 7÷14÷2015. Patty took my call, she was very friendly and helpful in scheduling an appointment with the owner Mark Anderson for a free estimate. She told me the first appointment will not be available until next week. I asked if she can fit me in the next day because I already took a day off for something else. She made some arrangements and fit me right in.
Mark Anderson called me before his arrival. He is a very nice gentlemen, very honest, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. As soon as he saw my windows, he was so excited to tell me he knew the manufacturer of my windows (without me asking him). He even told me there is warranty! All I need is to file warranty claim with them to get new sash. He gave me the manufacturer’s contact information, helped me measure all windows size, and tell me the model of each windows I have. Instead of selling me new windows, he was here spending an hour helping with my existing windows. When I asked Mark how much it would cost if I have to replace all these windows, he said it would be at least $ 3000.
I highly recommend Window Place and Plus. They are just like they advertised. No high pressure salesman involved, you are dealing with the owner directly. It’s a company you can trust. This just brighten my day to know there are still some business out there willing to help people like this. Thank you Mark!

Work type: Vinyl Siding & window/​door capping
Background: We own an old home (80+ years) in Collingswood, NJ that has 47 windows. As with many older homes, there has been decades of settling that has occurred that has made many of our rooms and windows unlevel (some 3−4″ off level). The house had a lot of woodwork accents that added character to the house. Specifically routed trim on top of almost all of the windows.
Search for contractor: When we researched siding companies, we invited 4 – 5 for estimates. We knew that with the vinyl siding, we wanted the windows and doors capped. However, we wanted to make sure the house retained its character as an older home. We had many vendors show up for measurement, and estimates who never provided us a total cost.
Why Window Place Plus:
1. Mark Anderson’s (owner). My wife and I went into this project looking for a fair price, not the cheapest (we’ve lived that nightmare before). We were looking for a partner in the project, spending time on the job to do it right. Mark spent enough time with us through the measurement and estimate process, but gave us enough space to breathe and make our own decisions. His experience was very helpful throughout the process. He did not oversell the project, in fact made recommendations that saved us money. During the entire project, Mark was easily accessible, and took all steps to make sure hickups were remedied to our satisfaction.
2. Product: We were impressed with the quality of products that he uses compared to his competitors. The available colors and quality seemed light years ahead of what other vendors were showing us.
3, Quality of work. Of course the references that any vendor gives is going to that of their best work. After visiting and looking at the quality their work, the durability over the years, we walked away very impressed. After being a satisfied customer of The Window Place Plus, I will gladly speak with anyone as a reference. John, the installer, did an incredible job siding our house. Those unlevel windows, they are level now. The house while newly vinyled has retained the character that we wanted. So many people in our neighborhood have commented on the great work that was being done.
I can not recommend Mark, and The Window Place Plus any higher. When looking for a vinyl siding contractor, make sure they are on your short list.

If you ever need your windows replaced, call on Window Place Plus. I dealt personally with the owner, Mr. Anderson and he and his team are terrific to work with. They kept me abreast during each step of the process and the installation was seamless. They did an amazing job. When I discovered a tiny defect on one of the windows, they immediately sent someone to look at it and got the window replaced. I would highly recommend their services. Wonderful people to work with. FIVE STARS!

We recently hired Mark Anderson and his company, The Window Place for new windows, siding, and gutters. From the beginning, Mark was low pressure and professional. He clearly described the products he sold and provided clear answers to our questions. The windows were installed in a single day by a crew who were obviously very experienced and respectful of our home. The house was instantly quieter and warmer with a tight, accurate installation. From there the siding crew took over and a careful installation of the siding was underway. The results are excellent and as with the windows crew, they were professional, polite, and respectful of our home. We are very happy with the final product. You can get this work done cheaper (I collected 5 other contractor quotes), but you get what you pay for in the end. I paid a little more for higher quality materials by choice, not by pressure. They offer lower cost, but good quality options however it was my call. If you’re in the market for new windows and/​or siding, get a quote from The Window Place. Mark will gladly give you addresses of homes he’s done and you can see the final product he offers.
