I cant rave enough about the amazing job Marc and his team did. Down-to-earth, quick, professional, and detailed - they really took care of my home. I had a deadline in mind and they exceeded expectations, while always being quick with the communication. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for new siding.
Marc and his crew were phenomenal. Marc was so responsive and professional during the initial consultation and he stayed in touch once the order was placed. His crew showed up and got the 12 window installation done in 1 day. They were very clean and polite. Marc was flexible with payment and has continued to be kind and accessible even after the job was done. I dont think Ive ever had a better customer service experience when dealing with home renovation or repair!
I am happy to leave the highest possible rating for Highland Window Company. I wanted to get replacements for nine windows in my home – seven double-hung windows and two picture windows. I ignored those companies that heavily advertise in newspapers and magazines such as Castle Windows, Window World and AWS. These companies purport to sell “better” windows than what most contractors install and charge considerably more. Andersen Renewal is the worst of the bunch, charging around $2,000 per window even after all their highly touted discounts. Ridiculous. So I focused on those companies that install Harvey Windows, which is a very good but reasonably priced window. And I only dealt with those companies that had very highly-rated user reviews on Google or Yelp. Of the three companies I eventually got estimates from, Highland Windows, owned by Marc Cowan in West Hartford, had the best price. His price was 30% lower than the next least expensive estimate, and a whopping 90% lower than the other. Keep in mind that the prices I was quoted was for the same exact windows. And to sweeten the deal, Marc had the best reviews on Google (4.8 with 50 reviews as of this writing). The company that had the next lowest price sent a “salesman” to give me the estimate. He admitted that the cost was as high as it was because he got an 8% commission on the sale, and there was a lot of company overhead because of their building and their sales and office staff. Marc owns the company and doesn’t have salesmen. He’s the one who comes to your house, takes measurements and provides the estimate. I also believe he works out of his home, greatly reducing overhead. As for the quality of the work performed, I couldn’t be happier. Three totally professional and qualified people came to my house – on time – and installed all the windows in about four hours. It took a few hours more to install all of the window capping, which really looks great. I even had him cap additional windows that had been installed previously with no capping, and he did it at an incredibly reasonable price. (Marc previously had given me the address of a house on which he installed windows and capping so that I could see what the finished product would look like.) When the installation is done, the clean-up is so complete that you cant tell anyone was there. From the time I originally contacted Marc, to having him give me an estimate, to guiding me through the process of getting a low-interest energy loan from CT Greenbank, and talking with him throughout the process, he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I feel really terrible for those people who contact one company and for whatever reason decide to go with that company without getting several estimates. I am absolutely confident that if you call Marc Cowan and Highland Windows first, you will get the best price and absolutely superb installation. I can’t rate Highland Windows high enough. Marc and his team did a truly fantastic job.
I have used Marc and his team for a few projects and they do a fantastic job. Beyond that I recently had a question about how to remove the sliding panel of the slider they installed and Marc was not only willing to help but he helped walk me through how to do it quickly. Fantastic customer service as always and an easy choice for future projects I have.
Marc has been very responsive and timely from start to finish. Really appreciate Marc’s help with getting the requisite info ready to submit for the Energize CT rebate program. He and his installation team are true professionals. Very happy with our replacement windows and have already been recommending Highland to friends.
Last year, after they had previously replaced some of our windows, Highland came back to replace our siding. They did a beautiful job. Our house looks so much better and we think will have a higher resale value. Our heating costs were lower last winter with the insulation they added. The crew was fast, careful, pleasant, well-organized and neat and the owner, Marc Cowan, was a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend them.
We had windows, gutters and siding done on our two family home. Marc was very professional from the time of the quote to the finish of the job. His employees were all very courteous and knowledgeable in there respective crafts. Marc was available for questions at all stages of the install and checked in regularly on the work. He made every effort to work around my work schedule to meet with me. I’ve had several people come to quote the job and most weren’t on time or worse showed up unannounced. Marc was punctual and even understood when another competitor was taking too long finishing up a quote. I highly recommend Marc and his crew
Wow! Excellent experience from start to finish! Marc was pleasant to deal with, flexible with our needs, expedited the process due to our situation and the highland window team executed amazingly. Quality workmanship, fantastic value, making it easy during a stressful time. So appreciative - thank you!! Highly recommend!!!
I dont have a single complaint! Marc and his crew exceeded my expectations. Quality product, amazing value, on schedule, polite, respectful, skilled professionals -- a grand slam! The windows have completely transformed the appearance of my home. My neighbors have gone out of their way to tell me how great my house looks, and Ive gone out of my way to tell them how satisfied I am with Highland Windows.
From beginning to end, it was a wonderful experience. The owner himself (Marc) came lout the next day from our initial phone call to give us an estimate with a price that was cheaper than everyone else we reached out to. The windows came in earlier than expected and the job of 14 replacement windows took just 2 days to complete. The fact that Marc guaranteed them for life really put our mind at ease and we will now recommend Highland Windows to everyone we can!
This is the second time we have used Highland and we are so happy with our windows. Marc is polite and professional. When I was unsure about a style he put me in touch with a couple of former clients and I did a drive by to see how they would look. It’s a refreshing change to actually experience a great product and EXCELLENT customer service. Thank you!
Marc and the employees of Highland Window Company did a great job installing new windows in my house. I chose them over one of the large, national window companies, and I am very happy with this decision. The result is quality work, at a competitive price, with good communication throughout.
We couldnt be happier with the job that Marc Cowan and his team did with our windows. We had all 16 windows in our West Hartford home replaced by Highland, and they did outstanding work - quick, efficient and clean installation of high quality windows at a very reasonable price. Marc was a pleasure to work with - friendly, professional, responsive and trustworthy. Highly recommend Marc and his team!
We’ve had a great experience with Highland, and have used them on three occasions now. Marc was very helpful and informative, and once we decided to go through with window replacement, he walked us through the timeline and maintained a professional and courteous relationship with us all the way through installation. We love our new windows! Easy to use and easy to clean. Thanks, Marc!
Marc and his team were extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. There is no reason to go with any other company than Highland when replacing windows and doors.
Highland Window just completed installation of replacement windows throughout our entire home. The house was custom built in 1971 and all windows had to be custom ordered due to their shape and size. I had several quotes before choosing Highland including a couple of companies that seemed intimidated by the job. Marc was great to work with, honest, responsive, and checked in frequently during the process. His crew cleaned up after themselves daily, and the job was well done. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of work. I’m also very particular and rarely provide a 5 star review.
I waited almost 4 weeks for an appointment. The day before my appointment the scheduler called and wanted to change the window cleaning to the next afternoon. I had my very young grandchildren that day and said that I couldnt. She said she would call me right back. 24 hours later I called again trying to make an appointment. A different scheduler said she needed to talk to Michael and would call me right back. That was June 24..today is July 1st and I havent received a call. Im have an appointment with Nick at Buena Vista cleaning tomorrow.
I couldnt be happier with the way they do business. I had 19 windows and 2 doors done on my 1850s house and not one piece of trim was damaged. They came out and were professional from start to finish and also had great prices. I would highly recommend giving them a call to get your windows and doors taken care of.
Marc Cowan, the owner, was prompt, professional and extremely knowledgeable regarding replacement windows. The work was completed quickly, efficiently, and neatly by his outstanding installation team! All in all this experience was a WIN.. DOW 😊 Highland windows gets an A++ for their amazing work to refurbish our cottage home!! Thank you so much Tammy Ward
Highland Windows just completed replacing 9 windows in our 4 bedrooms. We chose the Harvey Majesty windows, as these seemed the best at matching our colonial house. The overall job was six weeks from order to completed installation, which was great. The install took two days, and the workers cleaned everything up quite well each day. During the installation, we asked them to do a couple extra things for us, which they were happy to accommodate! Overall a great job at a fair price (we shopped around before we picked Highland). Great company to work with.
We used Highland Window Company to do a complete vinyl siding job on our house in West Hartford, including gutters, a new front door and a new storm door.Marc and his team were fantastic to work with at each and every step of the process. Their work was high quality and the communication was easy.We highly recommend Marc and his team!
I was so impressed with Highland windows the first time I ordered windows, that when it came time to update my living room windows, I didnt even shop around - I immediately called Highland.The workers are the BEST! They clean up everything and left my house with sparkling windows.The living room is now WARM and TOASTY, thanks to my Highland Windows. I highly recommend them.
Bottom-line: I definitely recommend Highland Window CompanyI worked with Marc to get a side door replaced. It was a fiasco. Some of the blame was Highlands, some was the door supplier and some was mine. Wrong door, wrong color, wrong screen door, you name it, it happened. BUT Marc was supportive and on top of every issue that occurred. In the end, even though he may have lost money on my job, he made it right. So while it was a long and stressful job, I was a happy customer at the end and Ill continue to give them my business and recommend them to others.
I researched and met with several people/companies for window replacements before Marc and his Highland Window Company was referred to me. I have since used him several times for window replacements during several phases of renovations to my 3 family house. He provides excellent customer service, he is not pushy, he is fair and very easy to work with. He and his crew are clean, pleasant and quick. They did an amazing job. He also provides financing. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely use them again.
I am replacing my windows and looking for project cost for my home. The sales rep was here 2 mins and tells me he is not interested in the project. What company says no thank you all the other companies were excited to show there products and what they could do for us.
Met with a couple of contractors for a large project and after a lot of research went with Marc and Highland Window Company.Bottom line very happy and completely satisfied that we did.Marc walked us step by step through what we could expect as he oversaw a new roof, new windows (18), a new front door, new siding & soffits, and new gutters and downspouts.Each of the four different crews that came for each stage of the project were professional, polite, and skilled. Cleanup was done daily and hardly impacted our daily routine.Marc was out on the site very often throughout the process and answered all questions and concerns.We actually had one minor glitch on the project when a manufacturer sent a wrongly sized part for the storm door frame. Definitely still deserves five stars as Marc stayed on top of it and communicated to us regularly until it was resolved perfectly.Waited a couple of months to post this to make sure nothing popped up and nothing has - love the look, functionality, and quality of the work.
I obtained several estimates to replace a number of windows in our house. Not only was Highland the fastest to respond and provide an estimate, but they had the best price. They came when they said they would and did the work exactly as stated. They worked fast, quietly, left no mess and the end product was A+ quality. I’ll surely have them back for more work.
Affordable price and super professional installation. Marc came to our house to give us an estimation and walked with us in and around the house several times to make sure all we need is covered and to assure that we are in sync. After saving us money on things we thought we need and didnt really, Marc gave us an estimation for the entire house. After the windows were manufactured for our house Highland company installed the windows in a no less than perfect way, while making sure that the insulation is perfect and that we are happy in every step they make. No compromise on any of the installation steps or quality - the team cleaned daily during and after they finished their work, collected the old fixtures and left a clean house with new windows, installed to perfection. Thank you for a great job. You are the best!!!
Excellent service, great work and reasonable prices. Everything was as described, the crews replacing windows and doing the siding & gutters were extremely professional.The work was done over 6-months ago and Id hire Marc again in a heartbeat. I found out I had some co-workers who hired him in the past and I heard nothing but praise.
Highland Window Company just finished installing 30 windows in our 1931 Dutch Cape, and we couldn’t be happier!Several years ago, we had a different window company come to our house, take over three hours to give an estimate and the salesman would not leave unless we signed the contract, (the estimate was over $30K. ). We had to tell him to leave. It was not a good experience, so we did not pursue further until we reached a point where a stiff breeze was blowing through our living room last January.Our experience with Highland, specifically with owner Marc Cowan, was completely different. Marc spent 45 minutes chatting with us and looking around our house, showing us a beautiful sample window and giving us an incredibly reasonable estimate. He was so charming and personable, we didn’t want him to leave! No pressure, just a great quality window from an honest and kind business owner.Highland had our windows manufactured and installed within a month. The crew (Neil, Hilton and Tom) were neat, skillful, professional and gracious, installing 20 windows day one!!! They left our house cleaner than when they arrived.We can’t recommend Highland Window Company any higher. Marc is a great pleasure to work with and we will definitely call him with our future home renovation needs.Amanda and Paul RileyDanbury, CT
So happy with our windows from Highland! They have transformed our house! Very impressed with Marc and his team. I feel he really took the time to listen to all my concerns and requests even showing me some examples of his work in town. Prompt, courteous and super clean team on installation day! Thank you.Julie Jones
Highland Window Company recently completed a sixteen window project at my home in West Hartford this week. I couldnt be more pleased. Marc is responsive, friendly, and professional and his expertise is reflected in the quality of work his team does. The install crew was fast and left my home spotless after the install. Highly recommend!
Marc and his team are the best. Theyve helped me personally with multiple projects and many I have referred. Solid work and everyone I have met from his team shares his customer service brilliance. Well done
We met with Marc last year and began discussing residing our historic home as well as replacing 21 windows. After speaking with several contractors, we knew we would work with Marc when we were ready to complete this project. We decided to re-side our home as well as replace old windows with gorgeous new Harvey windows. Marc came out several times to walk through the vision and share his expertise with us. The staff were incredibly professional, very tidy and very nice. Our home looks brand new and we couldnt be more pleased with the final result.We would recommend Marc and his team 100%. He is the absolute best around!
Highland Window Company installed new windows and new siding on our house. My husband and I were extremely pleased with all phases of the project Marc, the owner was very knowledgeable and easy to work with.The crew was friendly and approachable and did a fantastic job on the installation. We have received many compliments on our new house and highly .refer Highland Window Company for their exemplary work.
We had all our windows and doors replaced in 2007. Marc the owner is knowledgeable and not a pushy businessman. The guys who do the installation are professional and courteous. Recently one of our sons broke a very large window. When I called Marc for a replacement and quote I was very pleased that the window would be replaced without a charge. Over the years I have recommended this company many times.
We have had Highland Window Company do work in our home a couple of times. The first install they did for us was a tricky one where we had to replace a huge living room window that was original to the 1950s home. Marc, the owner spent time with me going over all the options to fill the space. For me the most important detail was to keep the big window feel of the original. Marc came up with the perfect solution and in reality upgraded the functionality of the space (now we have side windows that really open and close.). A couple of years later we decided to upgrade all the 1950s windows around the house and once again Highland Window was our go to vendor and installers. As someone who has grown up in the world of home construction and remodeling I appreciate that the Highland Window team is beyond courteous, respectful of the space they are working in, and when they finish they leave the space clean. We recommend Highland Window Company to all of our friends and our family.
Marc and his team were phenomenal (new siding/gutters)! Price was great, quality great, customer service great... Very accommodating, and efficient. No complaints at all!
Marc and the team at Highland did a fantastic job on the installation of 23 windows and siding at our house. The price, professionalism and attention to detail are unbeatable!!!
Had windows installed by Highland. Team was fast and efficient, and was completed in a time much quick than anticipated. Marc was extremely pleasurable to deal with, and the actual price came in even lower than originally quoted. Team was so nice we bought them pizza to thank them as it was dinner time
Okay I have used Marc and his crew twice, once for Windows then my patio door. He is so responsive, caring and his crew is amazing. I just cant say enough about it because as a single Mom with 2 kids he worked with me pricing, install and professional.My Windows had problem he came out immediately and replaced the sash and called window supplier right on spot.I had many come in for quotes he was the only one I felt was honest fair and no smoke and mirrors. Sears, Lowes etc cant compare!Use them you wont be disappointed
Replaced all the windows in our house. Marc and his crew were amazing! Efficient, cleaned up everything after working and overall a great experience. Would recommend them highly!
Highland Window Company replaced all windows in my parents house.I had a nice experience with their staff and everyone at HighlandUNTIL the install was completed. I have left several voice messages in the last SEVEN months trying to resolve a lingering issue. I have never received a call back.Simply put, if I would have know how terrible their after sale customer service is I would have never even consider them. I would not recommend them to anyone.
Marc Cowans Highland Window Company replaced all the windows in our 80 year old West Hartford home. We are absolutely delighted with his windows. His crew treated our home beautifully - meticulous about both prep work and cleanup. I highly recommend Mark and the HWC crew.
Needed a dozen windows replaced in an older multi family and Highland had a great price and finished the job faster than I expected with no hassle.
Marc is the greatest!! So kind and helpful!!
Very efficient, very professional.
