It was a pleasure working with this company. Their price quote beat all competitors while their products they offer are of a higher quality than the others. They were prompt in scheduling measurements, and when they came to install the windows were prompt and quick with very high quality installation. They were also very careful to keep the house clean as they worked. I highly recommend them.

AHC replaced 31 windows in our house. We liked their business model -- select your window option, send in approximate measurements of your windows, and you get a firm quote. Their price was the best among several companies we consulted. They installed all the windows in one day. The installation was very well done. We're very pleased with the new windows. We recommend AHC highly.

From the moment I started the process of window replacement with American Home Center, I knew I had come to the right place. The online quoting system is very easy, fast, and accurate for pricing--and the prices were well below other estimates (my job cost under $1200 with AHC while another contractor quoted over $1800 for the same work while also murkily stating that unforeseen costs could arise). Robert then came to my home to take precise measurement and further discuss options. He is extremely knowledgable and runs his business in an entirely transparent manner that enabled me to proceed comfortably and confidently at every step. In addition, Robert was extremely generous. Knowing that I recently purchased the home, he took the time to look at a number of the existing, older windows and doors and to advise in a generous way as we discussed some of my projects for the future. That day, I signed the paperwork for the window replacement job at hand. To my surprise he phoned the next morning to say that he had a solution for an improperly installed storm door he had noticed, which I had inherited from the previous owners, and that he would like to stop by to make that repair! He spent at least 30 minutes fixing the door and wouldn't accept payment. This was pure generosity, having nothing to do with the sale of the windows which we had already arranged. On the installation day, the workers arrived at the appointed time and were pleasant, skilled, efficient, and thoughtful. The quality of the installation and the windows is excellent. The double-paned, double-hung windows are easy to operate and help greatly with atmospheric and noise insulation. The completion of this project is a night-and-day difference in terms of both function and improved aesthetics. I am now starting on some other window and door projects with American Home Center as they have well earned "go to" status with me. I would have no reason to call anyone else and wholeheartedly recommend AHC.
