Consumer from SILVER SPRING, MD

I was extremely impressed with the staff and crew of American Home Center. First off, the on-line estimation tool was great and when I compared the exact parts listing between AHC and 5 other windows installers, their cost savings was anywhere between 25% to 63%. Futhermore, their windows were NFRC Certified Energy efficient rated at .22 U-factor (great) and .21 Solar Heat Gain Coefficent (again, great) - both will help with energy efficiency in our house. Of the other 5 vendors only one also achieved that rating (and we saved 25% off their price). What was even more impressive was when Robert came out to do the actual final measurements and sign the contract. When Robert went through the list I had sent, he pointed out that several of the items I had listed did NOT need replacing, pointing out significant savings in doing so. So, I added in a few window I had not originally expected to replace - and still came in below the original estimate. So I signed the contract and we scheduled the install for after our August vacation. One week before the scheduled install, Bobby called and confirmed that the parts were all in and we were a go for that Friday. On Install Day, the crew chief arrived promptly at 7:30AM he introduced himself. When his crew arrived a few minutes later, they did a walk through of the house, reconfirming measurements and clearly identifying the windows that were to be placed in their specific locations. This was reassuring both for efficiency of work and minimization of errors. Window were placed in their respective rooms and the teams went to work. The quickly popped out the old windows and installed the new ones, making sure that the alignment was correct and that the structure was secure. And this is where I must give them additional kudos. First, they noticed a leaking J-channel around one of our bedroom windows and they repaired/caulked that area to secure it. But the biggest shout-out is the work they did around our kitchen picture window. That frame had rotted out 10 years ago; 9 years ago I had someone replace it - but it never was right. I had discussed this with Robert and his recommendation was that I reposition the flashing upward to meet the siding J-channel and recaulk the area and install a replacement piece of siding. He even provided a couple pieces of flashing for this purpose. Much to my pleasant surprise, his crew chief took on the task himself to rebuild the flashing, caulk it securely and then build out the window framing so that it all looks perfect. Meatime, the rest of the team made sure that indoor and outdoor caulk lines were clean, that windows sparkled and that no signs of their work remained. This was the mark of a professional organization who take pride in the work they do. I would strongly recommend American Home Center to anyone considering replacing their windows. The focus solely on windows and doors and do a tremendous job at highly competitive price.

We are shoppers and looked at several companies before deciding on American Home Center. It's a family-owned business and Robert and family do an outstanding job. Cost/value was the first thing that got our attention. They offer a quality product at a price that was better than anything else we had seen. In addition, the installation crew are employees, not contractors, therefore American Home Center stands behind their work 100%. If you're searching for windows or patio doors, you can end your search now. This is the company.

We had 20 windows replaced in early 2022 and they perform as well as when installed. I just power washed the windows and the seals are perfect! Their quote came in far below the other 10 bids I received, with better-rated windows. Bob (the owner) came out to measure the window openings and recommended we not replace a couple of windows that had been earlier replaced. I've recommended AHC to other neighbors who are just as pleased. An excellent company to work with.
