| - Krasiva did a beautiful job for us: we needed to replace a double front entry door, 3 French patio doors and windows in 3 bedrooms (hung and sliding styles).
First: we were looking specifically for Weathershield doors and windows, and Krasiva is the only company in the valley that installs these! After initial consults with the usual big name windows and doors companies, I discovered WeatherShield in a friend's home and decided these were what I was looking for.
The Owner: Greg Strickland is fantastic. Always able to answer questions, even about minutiae. Responds quickly to voicemail or email. Really believes in quality craftsmanship. Diligent in delivering a final product that satisfies the customer. Fair, HONEST, and conscientious businessman.
Consultation went well--2 meetings to discuss exactly what we wanted. Apparently the specific French patio doors with side vents we had were not standard, so Krasiva (with Weathershield, the company that makes the patio doors) custom designed the doors and added casement windows on the sides so we could still have the ventilation we were used to, while retaining the door style we wanted.
They were very detailed when it came to measurements. Each of our patio doors, though identical in appearance, were actually all different in dimensions because of the openings! (Our house was built in 1953 with several additions in the 90's.)
Cost: for an order that included 3 custom-built French patio doors with side casement windows, the total STILL came in several thousand dollars LESS than the big name competitors from whom we regularly receive ads in our mailbox! (I had gotten quotes on 2 separate occasions from 2 of these companies and the numbers just don't compare.)
Timing: we finalized the order in late November and installation occurred in early February. Considering all the normal production delays expected during the holidays, we thought the timing was fairly quick!
We can already tell the difference between our new doors/windows and old ones (which are only 6 years old, but do NOT have the ability to repel heat/cold and block 95-97% of UV from entering the house, like our new ones do). One whole side of the house is cooler than the other, as the temps outside have been rising. SO happy we got these installed before summer arrives! May now need to look into replacing the others...to maximize energy effiency! Greg had told me that I'd probably feel that way once our new doors and windows went in!
So happy to have found a local company to help with this large project!!
