WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:

• 5★★★★★ - "Saw Gary at the Lake Country Home and Garden show. Great conversation and he gave us his full attention and the time we needed to ask questions. Gary came to the house and gave us a demo along with lots of information on replacement windows and a quote, which we accepted on the spot. A great guy to work with. Josh, who did the install, is fantastic. Very professional, great communication, excellent work and CLEAN. I wish yelp allowed for 10 stars, these guys would exceed even that!The entire experience from beginning to end exceeded our expectations. I was ready for the stress others had with their install. NO STRESS. Thanks to everyone at Custom Built Windows!!"

• 5★★★★★ - "When I decided to replace all windows of a new purchased house, I had no idea what I would get. I just knew in my previous house after I received a class action suit against ***** ****, we called and a ***** contractor quoted me 60k replacement - we did not do it and it turned out there was nothing wrong with our existing windows. Anyway this time I found custom built windows from google search. I read all reviews of the top few choices, and talked to two of them, ( the other is opal) plus one from ****?s. I had to say all three were professionals and we liked all of them so much to the point to divide the job and give all of them something!Of course, finally we settled with Gary and his custom built windows. There were a few reasons, even price wise they were all competitive: while Gary showed me the sunrise windows, opal quoted Anderson 100 series with total reconstruction, *******gave me all fiber glass ***** windows with total construction backed by ?the store is always there? assurance; I went with Gary because his promise of ?his great installation crew taking care of all windows if any wood or trim is bad and wrapping them with aluminum so there will never be problem again?.Now the work is done. I got to see Gary?s crew of Bob & Josh working for 5 days, sometimes in 15 degrees outside, with such a workmanlike no big deal spirit, but more importantly a ? I love what I do and I like my work to be flawless? professionalism. I loved the experience of being side by side with bob and josh. No matter how stupid my questions were Bob was always patiently answering them and he even helped a little while I was installing garage door opener! We are very pleased with the results- not only the windows, but also the installation and the whole experience!Thanks Gary, Bob and Josh!"

• 5★★★★★ - "My wife and I searched very long time for the right installer and ended up choosing Custom Built Windows. First they were not pushy with their sales and did not require both my wife and I to be present for their presentation. Other companies did this to push you to buy their windows right away. Gary does not, and respected our wishes to allow us time to determine what we wanted. Gary also was great in answering my questions. I called him a lot, he was easy to reach, and willing to answer any of my questions. The price was also very competitive and the windows look great. Finally the installation process was Great! They were on time and punctual for both measuring and installing the windows. During installation they took great care of my house, used dropped clothes throughout and even vacuumed before leaving. My wife was here and very happy with the process. I still have over half of my house to complete and plan on using Custom Built Windows to do so."

• 5★★★★★ - "If you're looking for a reliable "home town" company, that puts you first, and does what he says he will - LOOK NO MORE!! I can't say enough about our experience w/ Gary at Custom Built Windows. We choose Customer Built because Gary listened from the get go!! We needed to replace 50+ year old, original metal, windows, a large picture window, and a very old large sliding glass door. Knowing nothing about windows, we had several (4) companies, including the big boxes, come out and bid. It was becoming a painful process. I told Gary; when it was his turn, please just get to the point. Just about any window anyone can offer is going to be better than what we had. He listened, was in and out with a quote in my hand in under an hour. Although he didn't come in the absolute lowest, I liked Gary and respected the fact the owner was the sales guy, the windows he quoted were great for our needs, and I felt like I wouldn't get "lost" sticking w/ a locally owned / operated company. I am soooo glad I trusted my instinct. Gary delivered in the timeframe he quoted, and his installers were AWESOME. I will be contacting Gary again SOON as I now see I really do need that new front door to go with my awesome windows!!!"

• 5★★★★★ - "A year ago I had all of the 1980's windows in my house replaced. Gary was easy to work with. He didnt push the product, but instead listened to what I wanted and gave his professional advice. The whole process was easy and my windows and sliding patio door were installed in a day and a half. My house was so much more comfortable in the winter and summer! And everywhere in between since I could open my nice new windows."

• 5★★★★★ - "See Gary first, then listen to the other companies with high prices, high pressure, smoke & mirrors, and then you'll come back to Gary's company. Don't fall for the high pressure, one-time only "discounts" from those other companies. My windows are great. The price was great. The installation crew was great. Friendly, professional, and cleaned up afterwards."

• 5★★★★★ - "I have used Custom Built Windows at three of my homes.  At my current home, they installed picture windows, casement windows, and sliding doors with blinds built in between the glass.  
  In a previous house, they replaced windows and installed a new roof, soffit, fascia, gutters & downspouts. In another previous house, they replaced a variety of windows and doors.
  On each occasion, Gary, and his staff were extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and very respectful of our property and home.  I highly recommend Gary Gillis and Custom Built Windows and look forward to working with them again when the need arises."

• 5★★★★★ - "Very professional from the beginning (consult/sales) through installation. Gary, the owner, does not use pressure sales tactics. Installation was fast with no problems encountered. They (Bob and Jake) ensure a clean install and customer service from them was great as well (ability to answer any questions we had during install without feeling as though we were bothering them). Very professional organization I would recommend to anyone. We already feel the difference in our home--glad we went with the Sunrise windows!"

Here’s why- On time, a precision team of installers put in my new windows- the new kitchen box window absolutely transformed that room. Great attention was paid to insulate and seal everything inside and out. They also customized my back window screen to allow for the cat door. These guys are great!!"
